Trump’s got 460+ million in debt that’s not gonna pay itself…. And neither is Grifter in Cheeto.

What a ridiculous gavel. Emblematic of a party that thinks the only way to power it through brute force. The part of the strong man.

Novelty-store gavel for novelty-store politics. It fits.

Except that somewhere, a skilled wood worker was commissioned to make that, and may not have known what it was for. Imagine being that guy and seeing it used like this...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Eh. It was probably special order, and I would also be shocked if the brass around the head wasn’t engraved with something that’s fairly obviously republican-ish. Everyone involved probably knew what was going on.

No wonder they keep focusing on Hunter Biden, they are obsessed with his huge gavel.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

It's actually a normal sized gavel and she has a persecution complex about her height. She joined the Republican party so she could hurt others life she's been hurt

Cowards all the way. RNC is dead.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

RNC is dead.

I wish this were the case. It seems like they're undead at this point, shuffling around in a Regan skinsuit with Trump's face and hair grafted to the top and getting an IV push of campaign cash from rubes, sociopathic billionaires, and hostile foreign powers.

The money animating this macabre parody of a legitimate political party seems to be unlimited; it looks like we're going to see how rotten this bloated corpse will get before it bursts.

I only pillage the wealthy merchant class.

This ghoulish crew is attacking anyone with a brain to feast upon.

The party of fiscal responsibility is about to go tits up

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

One step closer to bankruptcy for the rnc. Here's hoping!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

All according to plan I guess.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Uh oh, when Trump is pushing a new slate, shit is about to hit the fan.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

T**** is going to defund the RNC. What a shame. Cant wait to watch the R's that actually need that money lose their races. While he loses as well. Ultimate losers, thanks to their cowardice.
