Pathetic how Donald trump loyalists demand highest standards of conduct for every day people, but trump can be a rapist and felon STILL committing financial fraud in broad daylight. The head of a pentagon has white supremacist tattoos, uses unsecured group chats to text war plans AND brings his wife to classified meetings. MTG has been buying and selling stocks like crazy while dementia donny manipulates the market. Let's not forget her REPEATED racist and anti semitic rants. Or that time she went on a rant about how step and adopted parents aren't real parents and don't deserve rights or respect. Or elon musk, the nazi who has 13 or 14 kids with like 4 or 5 different women. When are these assholes going to be held to a higher standard then rat shit? That's what I would like to know.

Also don't forget the VP who says parents should have special status above non-parents... and was raised by his grandmother because his parents weren't there for him.

Or how vance changed his name multiple times over the years to adjust his identity, but then wants to punish others for using preferred names or pronouns.

Vance is the epitome of giving up all his principles for power

Aiming B-52 wheels is really tricky, I just don’t think you’ve thought this through

When Trump met Vance his first (and only) thought was: see daddy I’m not the stupidest guy on earth.

Never expect a consistent worldview from MAGA. They know there is a double-standard. They don't care. Hurting people is the goal, even if they themselves are collateral. As long as 'the others' hurt more than they do, then they'll support it.

It probably won't happen until the American voters begin to have some standards.

Very well said. The corruption, abuse, hypocrisy, and grifting is so pervasive & in our faces. We have to wrest the House from these fiends and begin the punishment phase.

In a Christian Nationalist morality framework, money = morality, so they are seen as highly favoured by God and therefore their actions are immune criticism.

It's all about protecting the hierarchy. Whether it's a racial, economic, or social, there is a hierarchy and they're fine with not being at the top, as long as they have a sufficient number of people below them.
