But I heard Kamala campaign has courted donors so like where do you draw the line?

/s in case any deranged tankies come a-commenting in support of fringe party foreign-backed spoiler candidates that will never win.

Mitch, please…. McConnell is a spineless POS who puts his party before his country. It doesn’t matter what he says about Trump when he spent four years licking Trump’s balls.

One of the few Trump voters I know personally is really bothered by the fact that so many of Trump's handpicked officials end up turning against him, because (according to this voter) it indicates that Trump is a poor judge of people.

Ironic because Trump is a direct result of his life's work. I hope he dies feeling like he wasted his life because of it.
