    imagine selling your soul to a rapist pedophile con man only to have him wipe his ass with it and toss it on the giant mountain of previous thrown-under-the-bus discarded detritus that you 100% were aware of, but chose to ignore because you thought you were special

    not only will i not be buying her book, but i wouldn’t even pirate it either

      Way back in 2016, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was about to fine Trump $25 million for his totally fraudulent-from-the-conception University, when he announced that he was running for president.

      They had a meeting, he donated $25,000 to her election campaign, and she dropped the fine. She’s been on board ever since. Until now.

      So Pam, was it all worth it? You sold your soul to play political chess at the highest levels, thinking you were too high value to be sacrificed, but when most of the pawns have been squandered, then it’s time to start surrendering higher value pieces. Didn’t think it would be you, did you?

      You were always just Cannon Fodder.

      I feel like there’s cold logic going on behind everyone who punches a ticket to ride Trump’s crazy train.

      If you ever get thrown off, you can always write a book and do time in the pundit circuit either agreeing with him and saying they did their best, or go the MTG route and claim to be an enemy, promising all kinds of dirty laundry (that you may or may not have) to outlets that pony up for you to do interviews and stay in the limelight.

      And if the worst comes to pass and you manage to hang on as authoritarianism takes hold, you have a cozy seat for it all as the death cult rides into Valhalla.

      Showbusiness politics.

        i’m on board with all of that, except i would say reality tv politics instead of showbusiness. for the most part, showbiz doesn’t pretend to be authentic actual real life the way completely fake scripted bullshit reality tv does. it’s like pro wrestling, except they really do actually take themselves seriously

        and that’s what this whole administration has been from 2016: yOuR fIrEd!

        so fucking stupid and depressing

        I can, but only if it’s testimony against each other in their criminal trials.
