Third time ain't no charm

 President Donald Trump promised a $5,000 check for U.S. voters if Republicans win both the House and the Senate in the looming midterm election.

Such a payout could cost more than $1 trillion and break federal law.

The promise follows Trump's proposed "DOGE dividend" and "tariff rebates." (CNBC)

Promises, or are they bribes? He lies, and so far, he has gotten away with it. He breaks the law, and so far, he has gotten away with it. He is a con, a criminal, a charlatan, a convict, and yet he remains in office and is primarily the most powerful man in the political world.

I suppose the old adage of “the third time is a charm” is exactly what his sycophantic Fascists have told him. They must have added that your base has no memory of being kicked in the balls; they are full of amnesia, forgetting each promise and snake oil recipe you have provided them, and as long as you continue to list a bunch of scapegoats, your masses will overlook being had, due to the fact that as long as you hate the folks they hate, you remain a hero!

And yet… no one within the Republican Party or the Billionaire Class has the conscience, the spine, the moral fortitude to say Donald Trump, enough is fucking enough already! Sad!
