    Well yeah, they are pretending to be Republicans as much as they were pretending to be Democrats before.

    They are billionaires. The only thing they care about is money. And maybe not getting shot.

        I think Musk’s full conversion to attention-seeking grifter came when one of his kids came out as trans.

          Pretty sure the change occurred when he fired his social media manager and began personally handling his online presence. You can’t just become this terrible in your 50s.

      People love to forget that the Clinton’s were at trump and Melinia’s wedding in 2005

      They likely all four hated each other back then too, but trump gave a lot of money to the party and wanted a former president there.

      But Hillary’s always been about the money and her people have been running the DNC ever since.

      We have to come to the realization that at least some of the big money donors are just as shitty as trump, and they’re not just getting Bill to show up at weddings for payback.

      The neo liberal movement has destroyed the Dem party, and we’re just now getting the chance to get another type of leadership in the party

          Before he went national, NYC politics were more important to his business, and NYC politics - like all major metros - are Democratic.

        That was over a decade before he ran for president and was rightfully seen as an eccentric celebrity. Obama wasn’t even in his first term yet.

          So you think trump was a good guy back then?

          He’s always been a piece of shit, and that’s the type of people neoliberals take money from…

          Like, yeah, it was before Obama’s first term, but you forget it was supposed to be “Hillary’s turn” just 3 years after that wedding.

          She was in fundraising mode for 2008, and the money trump gave was used to try and stop Obama in the Dem primary

          That’s what I’m getting at.

          People like trump pay to make sure the furtherest left the Dems go is still on the right economically.
