I know this seems like a good time to yell "yay karma!" but I really feel sorry for trump supporters that gave away their money for such a stupid scam.

That’s not the only stupid scam they are falling for.

I guess I have a different point of view:

Best response to the indictments I’ve heard today: 

Nigerian Prince email scammers intentionally use poor spelling and grammar to weed out the more intelligent of their prospective victims so that they are only soliciting money from the dumbest out there. 

Kolfage and Bannon had a better idea and just targeted Trump supporters.

Here is a thought about dumbness.  Anyone who calls their neighbors and half of all American's dumb and ignorant.  Especially when a very important election is coming and the the country is divided.  It just makes the Trump campaign so much easier.  It reminds me of a movie that starred Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels.  Try to be smart.  I know how difficult that can be :)

If anyone has not figured out why so many people vote for Trump and believe in his message then I have some swamp land that I can give you a good price on!

The sad part is that you think half of Americans voted for or even support trump. In fact he was elected by less than a fifth of the population.

Okay good point.  I will rephrase:  Almost half of the people who vote will vote for Trump.  More importantly though, more than half of those electoral votes went to Trump last time.  All I am saying is lets be a little smarter and understand how bad people get elected and not make it any easier for them to be reelected.  It's not smart!  

I do get it.  I am frustrated with people who believe Trump is a gift from God.  Maybe they are unreachable but because I refuse to give up all hope I will try my best to listen with respect.  Live in the reality of a Country that is going through social changes that are difficult for many people to accept.  You can spit on them or you can try and calm their fears by just being respectful.  It is really not that hard so quit whining and do something to actually help get Biden elected...

SoWal Guide

Kolfage’s fundraiser, “We Built the Wall” — which Donald Trump Jr. praised in 2018 as “private enterprise at its finest” — promised to use 100% of donations to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Instead, Kolfage used some of the funds to buy a private yacht, among other things.

The indictment describes the yacht as a “2019 Jupiter Marine” boat named “Warfighter.” Photos and videos of a pleasure craft with the same name feature heavily on Kolfage’s Instagram account and surfaced on social media shortly after the group was arrested. 

“Warfighter” appears to be a Jupiter 41 Sport Bridge that was presumably purchased new. In 2016, a well-appointed version of the same boat reviewed by Power and Motor Yacht Magazine had a list price of $815,000.

The vessel makes an appearance 19 seconds into this video from the July 4 pro-Trump “Boat Parade” Kolfage helped organize in Destin, Florida. It’s festooned with Trump-Pence flags:

Why can't we have a Biden/Harris boat parade?  I will participate with my little redneck pontoon boat and sign it "Rednecks for Biden/Harris".  I am serious!  Or would I be ridiculed for being a redneck?  Hmm

That's the whole thing is that they are unreachable. It's akin to extracting someone from a cult. They are trained to look the other way no matter what he does. Now, that group is far smaller than the folks who voted for him and many R's are sitting this one out or voting Biden as their moral compass isn't completely broken. Trump will likely beat the abortion drum as a desperate last gasp.
