It's a small sacrifice so Trump can make a shit load of money. There was great man that once said many of you might die but that is the sacrifice I sm willing to do

I work with a bunch of Trumpers so I overhear some of the dumbest conversations known to man. Lately I hear them talking to each other about Trump's corruption, which I take as a promising sign. I'm not claiming they'll be voting blue in the Midterms, but it could get them to stay home.

Trumpers around me are leaning on "all politicians are corrupt we were lied to" to explain away this mess. But I thought they said he was not a politician and drain the swamp???

Gonna need that link to be re-posted in typed format here. BBV website on mobile is junk. Thank you in advance.

Really gotta find a way to vet these links posted here better.
