Read somewhere that even if Christian nationalist lord and savior Hitler himself returned to take over the reins, he'd still capture about 25% of any poll. People are people and a percentage of the population will always suck.

Agree, "charitable" debt collection would've signaled the original intent better. Fake is a very loaded term these days, and primarily associated with MAGA in relation to their own hucksterism.

Why does the media assume they're dupes and not complicit and conspiring? Why so eager to give the rich and powerful an off-ramp? How can they simultaneously be the smartest, cleverest and dumbest, dupable people on earth?

They were always this awful and he knew it. He was happy to toss other people to them as red meat because thought it wouldn't apply to him. We're at the part of the horror movie now where the leopard is eating his face and I'm here to watch it on repeat.

“This is deeply personal to me... It isn’t really about defending Jews, Indians, or any other minority group. It’s about defending the essence of America itself.”
Nope, it's all about him. He was fine with the racism against other ethnic groups when he thought he was exempt.

Even better. I totally forgot about this. Melanoma's agreement with Getty.
Daily Mail, NBC, Yahoo, others indirectly paid Melania Trump thousands
The first lady earned six figures from an agreement with Getty Images that paid royalties to the Trumps and mandated photos be used in positive coverage.

Wait. They stole from Getty Images and then ripped off Jimmy Kimmel's Unnecessary Censorship bit? I don't know if it's funnier that they did or didn't pay for the rights. Show us the receipts!
