They are so easily grifted it would be sad if they weren't so malevolent.

MAGA is great research on how much you can scam someone before they go full Bastille on your ass.

No, they'll never go bastille. They'll blame obama no matter what. Look up the book "Dying of Whiteness". It's a compilation of stories of people who literally died because they refused obamacare and on their death bed were proud of it and never regretted once voting against policies that would have saved their lives.

It's always a scam. It's always a grift. Always.

The only people surprised by this are magats, but they'd still vote for the child rapist again.

They trusted a businessman who failed so hard he had to fall back on a career of political masturbation. Fuck em.

I’ve been scrolling all day, and this is the first good news I’ve seen.

I do wonder, though, how many of those 590,000 still support Trump? It’s like they enjoy getting fucked in the ass by a fat, incontinent, demented, old pedo.

It was always going to be some sh** AliExpress Android phone anyway. There was definitely also going to be some kind of spyware/ harvesting happening

Here in Australia, this would likely be fraud by deception
