Five Dollars Goes a Long Way

     Just hours after Trump finally got hit with some long-delayed comeuppance for falsifying business records and cheating New York taxpayers, some Scientologist assholes by the names of Grant and Elena Cardone set up a Go Fund Me account for poor Donald Trump. Impossible as it is to believe, they thought if they set up a ridiculous goal of $355,000,000, they could count on average Americans to bail him out.
     Seriously, this looks like a Photoshopped parody of a Go Fund Me campaign. Aside from the cartoonishly high fundraising goal, the picture they picked is one of countless photos taken of Trump during one of his Manhattan civil court appearances in which he looks like he hasn't had a bowel movement in a month. There he is, looking as always like the miserable prick he always is, sitting next to Alina Habba, the worst lawyer who ever lived, and the one who single-handedly cost her client over a half a billion dollars. Yeah, of all the millions of pictures taken of Donnie Dumbo over the decades, that's exactly the one I would've picked for a fundraiser designed to play on the fear and paranoia of rubes to get them to chip in for a legal judgment of a guy who recently bragged about having $400,000,000.
     As of this moment, they've raised just over $70,000 for this shameless grifter, which you can probably find between the couch cushions of one of the waiting areas at Trump Tower. It's notable that out of the nearly 2000 suckers who've sincerely contributed to this latest grift, the Cardones are not among them, as far as I can see.
     In other words, like Trump, when they play the part of the Great Philanthropist, they keep their wallets firmly against their fat asses and expect others to do the giving. However, last night I began looking at the comments and noted some people were chipping in the minimum five dollars so they could speak their mind. These are 16 of the choicest comments I've found so far.
     Note who the latest contributor at the time was.

Now up to $147,748 as of this writing.

The Cardones are apparently worth $600 million. Surely they could pay all of the penalty and still have hundreds of millions left over to live very comfortably for the rest of their lives.

As for the other donors, I assume most are ordinary folks who would take off their pants in public if Trump told them to.

Looks like quite a number of $5 donors who gave just so they could leave some choice words for Trump and his supporters.

The latest: "Keep it up, MAGA Nation! Leticia James and E Jean Carroll will be soooo happy to take your money! The faster you donate, the faster they collect. Well done!"

It appears that the comments section to the Gofundme page has disappeared. I wonder why.

I wonder if I had anything to do with that.
