As Trump Attacks the Democrats' Covert Taxpayer-Embezzlement Funding Scheme, Democrat Donors Also Close Their Wallets

The Party of Grifters is having trouble with its grifting game.

Democrats are anxious to rebuild their party on the heels of President Trump's victory in November. But they have a major problem as they try to refashion their brand: The money isn't there.

Democratic donors -- from bundlers to small dollar donors -- say they are still angry about the election results and uninspired by anything their side has put forward since then.

"I'll be blunt here: The Democratic Party is f‑‑‑ing terrible. Plain and simple," one major Democratic donor said. "In fact, it doesn't get much worse."

A second donor was equally as pointed. "They want us to spend money, and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking. ... The thing that's clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?"

The reporter writes that donors feel burned by having had Biden's mental fitness problems concealed from them, and then felt burned again when they gave Kamala Harris $2.5 billion and she spent it on Beyonce's Brazillian waxing.

"This is worse than 2016," the first Democratic donor said. "Our party is so weak and so diminished."

...

Douglas Wilson, a North Carolina-based political consultant who has worked on fundraising for Democratic races, said donors have been "semi on the fence" over whether to contribute again so freely. Because Democrats are out of power, there's little that they can do but fight from a disadvantaged position. And some donors, Wilson said, don't feel like Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are "fighting back hard enough" for larger-scale reforms.

"This is having a trickle-down effect," Wilson said. "Grassroots donors want to see more fight and less text message requests asking for contributions."

....

High-level donors are less likely, the strategist said, to give when they're not sure what the plan is. Some have said that they don't believe Democrats can win against Trump-style candidates, so they're sitting things out for now

"Folks are saying right now, 'What's the Democratic Party to me as an investment?' I'm hearing from DNC [Democratic National Committee] members, they don't really believe where we're at right now. They don't believe that we can counter Trump, so why lose dollars?" said the strategist.

Speaking of grifters whose grift is coming to an end: Eyepatch John McCain threatened to murder Tucker Carlson because he's such a conservatively conservative who conserves.

The controversy began when GB News reporter Steven Edginton shared on X that Crenshaw made the threat after an interview earlier this month. According to Edginton, when he asked Crenshaw if he had ever met Tucker Carlson, Crenshaw responded, "I would kill him if I saw him." When Edginton laughed, Crenshaw reportedly reiterated, "No seriously, I would kill him."

After Edginton's post, Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly questioned Crenshaw about the accusation. Crenshaw responded dismissively, writing, "lol, no." However, less than 30 minutes later, GB News released a video that contradicted Crenshaw's denial.

The footage showed Edginton asking, "Have you ever met Tucker?" as the two removed their microphones. Crenshaw responded, "No, we've talked a lot on Twitter. If I ever meet him, I'll f*cking kill him." Edginton laughed, but Crenshaw continued, "No, seriously, I'll kill him. He's the worst person I've ever met."

Didn't Eyepatch John McCain support red flag laws?

Shouldn't a judge order his home searched for weapons, and any weapons found therein be confiscated?
