As in, "she'll be going through some things."

And that is when she decided to go to the exit.

He only cares about those who give him money if there's a reasonable expectation that they will give him more money in the future.

He doesn’t care about them. He just wants money. He can do absolutely nothing for them and they will still fork over money.

He's willing to pretend to care about the guys with money. just as he'll pretend to care about his base before an election.

He has never known love or happiness. He has never been awarded anything through merit. When it comes to life he is stone cold dirt poor. He has nothing to be proud of and he has nobody to love or to love him. If he had ten trillion dollars he would want more. He has no marketable skills. He could not earn a decent living. As an aside he is the leader of the Republican Party through fear and intimidation.

We talked about how we enjoy our life, our family and friends connection. And how people like trump will never have that.

into others.......gives him orgasmic glee..........because that is what Psychopathic, Narcissistic, and Sadistic...sub-human personalities are all about............
People like Trump and Secretary of War Segeth probably have the blowing up of those surviving sailors, on a video loop and it gives them a bigger woody than porn......

Bluetus mentioned that. I think it could be either or a little of both because Trump doesn't have a very big band width. He either talks about himself or he bullies people so........

If you watch the 60 Minutes clip where MTG is being interviewed by Leslie Stahl, they are talking about the Files being released and Stahl asks MTG what did he say and MTG Said that he said 'its(the release of the files) going to hurt people.'

Mon Dec 8, 2025, 01:14 PM

mainly other Republican Politicians, Republican Oligarchs, Republicans in the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, and possibly ones in the US Supreme court........along with a Republican Governor or two......

THOSE GROUPS are the ones that enable Trump to remain in power, along with the Corporations........no way in hell Trump could remain in power all by himself........

MTG and all others know that they will be hurt.

But ambiguous enough to not get arrested.

Breaking rank was the best thing MTG could have done. I respect it! Right is right and wrong is wrong. Politicians need to show more morality!

after her history. I'm waiting to find out what's in it for her.

Though it is possible that she was really stupid enough to believe Trump's BS in wich case I'd give her credit for being able to change her mind when she finally sees the light. Most people won't do that, they would rather not admit to ever being wrong, nor will they change their paradigm with new information.

But being that dumb is an impediment to accomplishing anything. And she did walk away from this much richer.

If she does that before her exit, I might give her a little - and I do mean little - credit. Otherwise, I'm not buying this change of heart.

The change of heart could be genuine. I mean, how can one know what another is actually thinking and feeling? BUT...her past history of being an absolute MAGA ass kisser AND a total jerk to people, well, it's going to take me a long time and her a lot of more rectifying before I am convinced.

Sure, it could mean himself and possible others close to him OR it could mean other people who have been under threat of harm should the info ever become public, like whomever the cabal chooses to harm as retribution, that kind of 'people could get hurt.'
