"Trump and Vance imagine that they can grift endlessly. They do not understand that their grift depends upon the honest labor and decent convictions of millions of Americans.

"There's a saying, you know, all great causes begin as a movement, transform into a business and degenerate into a racket."

Maybe where MAGAty types hang out, sure, but normals usually don't think that way. However, observing the behavior of DeSantis and the other MAGAts, yeah, sure, a founding mantra of sorts.

These goons know Trump has drifted into ballroom talk as he stumbles off into the sunset of his premature lame duckiness.

Why they want the Admiral Donitz role beats me, but, hey, you rats in that sack, have at it.
