This is hilarious.
Meanwhile, we await the Epstein files.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Congress even passed a law as I recall demanding their release over a month ago, but the phile’s files seem like they’re never coming out, continuing to break the law in the process.
Was their even a consequence stated on if they didn't release the files? I'm guessing at most probably just a fine which equates to a slap on the wrist. Unless it's immediate prison time for 50+ years with no bail or parole, then it's not that important to them.
It is worse than that because the president can just cancel any federal punishment.
It's always funny to me that these emails are always written from a first person pov... I guess they know their audience, and these idiots think there's a real person on the other end talking to them
There is...
Boomer trump voters are actually reading them, and some staffer at least reads what chagpt spits out.
People always think Republicans are bad at messaging for some reason, but they've been exploiting psychology for decades.
This shit works on trump voters, but its not going to work on everyone.
Like, there's actual physical differences in the brains between left and right political voters. It's why neoliberals trying to use Republican strategy never works well. If it worked on Dem voters we wouldn't be Dem voters.
At election time I get emails from democrat candidates in my spam folder. They’re also first-person.
It’s why neoliberals trying to use Republican strategy never works well.
I'm aware that some politicians with a D by their name think and act like Republicans and assume everyone else does as well.
That was the whole neoliberalism thing in the 80s when "moderate" Republicans took over the Dem party
That "experiment" ended last year and we'll get a fair primary again btw. There's still some shitty neoliberals in office, but we've never had a better opportunity to replace them then these next two primaries
Doubtful. They’re addicted to money.
The neoliberals are, but they lost control of the party a year ago...
Who told you that, an ivy league suit?
Says who? That is bullshit, they said the exact goddamn thing after Hillary clinton. They still have those super delegates in place by the way.
It’s all by design…they know that anyone who is dumb enough to believe that Trump wrote the email himself is also dumb enough to believe its content and donate.
I mean, they’ve already believed everything else they hear from their dear leader, so is this email actually surprising? It’s nothing in the face of nearly a decade’s worth of bullshit they’ve been happily scarfing down and voting in approval of.
Nothing says, "ICE is a legitimate government agency serving an unfortunate but necessary purpose," like "answer this survey or answer to ICE."
Yes, please do. Better than them attacking innocent people.
And there it is. The fascism circling in on itself.
Good, take every penny from them. Get what you voted for.
So this brings up a thought I've had. You can easily look up a person's political donations and find their address through public records. Wouldn't it be interesting if groups of masked, armed men started going around to known Trump supporters to demand that they pay protection fees
This wouldn't have been surprising in 2016.
Do it.
Hahahaha I wonder how maga will respond to blackmail threats. I want to think badly but I have no fucking idea anymore.
It's going to be laughed off as a joke.
You're probably right.
This is not new for them, they have done this during election season sending out emails saying the president knows you haven't been donating like you were before and he's disappointed in you and we're keeping track kind of shit.
I love that thumbnail.
He looks like he's on Death's door.
No no, we could only wish. They just took him out of the fridge and the water in the air is condensing on the surface.
Someone needs to drink the cool aid LOL.
