Grifting The Faux Election Fraud Lilly

"There are no jokes. The truth is the funniest joke of all."


So.

What, exactly, is this fact-free election fraud business all about anyway, Alfie?

Well, it would appear that there is only one certainty.

And that is a relentless, run out the clock full court press to separate the rubes from their money:

Simon Lewis of Reuters has the latest total:

President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee have raised $207.5 million since Election Day, according to a statement on Thursday, gathering donations to pay for challenges to Democrat Joe Biden’s win in the Nov. 3 poll.

The post-election fundraising haul brought the combined fundraising of Trump committees between Oct. 15 and Nov. 23 to $495 million, the Trump campaign said...



And what will Mr Trump do with all that money?

Well, he and his told the rubes one thing, but, well, you know...

...Soon after the election, Trump’s campaign began sending solicitations to supporters by email and text making pleas for donations to an “Official Election Defense Fund” to “protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day.”

The fine print made clear most of the money would go to other priorities, including retiring the debts of Trump’s campaign...


Imagine that - corroding what is left of the American body politic, on purpose, for money.

Would'a thunk it.

I'd say that those with the millions of dollars to donate to Donald Trump should instead be used to raise the wages of their workers' family to $16.54 per hour, two working adults with two children.

NVG--

This one has a different target grift demographic...

Here, they've gone after the small donors.

Now Rudy is in hospital with covid, , Dec. 8 is safe harbor day where certified results are safeguarded from further disputes, and the electoral college rubber stamp the states on the 14 Dec.

CNN is reporting the challenges coming close to the end and barring something yet unforeseen, if there is nothing to challenge, what will the suckers fall for next time to keep the dough rolling in.

Where will the grift go next.?

Trump needs money and he needs it protected from his creditors. he is taking care of business with these PACS. Don't be surprised if the day after Biden/Harris are sworn in, Trump starts his re election PACS, furthering his collection of funds. Deutsche banks still has to collect over $400M from him. As long as Trump's money? is in a PAC, Deutsche bank and others won't be able to "attach" it. Its how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

The amount of money spent on elections in the U.S.A. could solve a lot of poverty issues. Given corporations are people according to the American Supreme Court, that is not going to happen and American elections are going to become more and more expensive and there will be grifters like Trump who take advantage. Any two bit con artist can announce they're running for President and start the "collection".
