In public they all act so tough, so defiant, behind the scenes their lives are in complete turmoil.

Jones, Rudy, Stone, Bannon, Navarro, Eastman, Meadows, Clark, Flynn, many Trump lawyers and yes Trump himself, their lives suck.

They are living in fear, they are scared, paranoid, don't know who to trust. They are all under financial stress, their jobs are being threatened, some have already lost their law license. Some are being fined to the tune of millions of dollars. Many are probably having marriage problems.

All of them spend every minute of everyday watching the investigations draw ever closer to them. They are all wondering, when will I be indicted. How will I pay my legal fees. Who is going to turn on me. Should I make a plea deal or risk going to prison.

The traitors put on a big act in public, don't let them fool you. Their lives are pure hell.

Doesn't that make you feel good?

Bloated Tick is unfazed by any of this just like Ayman al-Zawahiri was unfazed until the Hellfire R9M sliced him into deli meat.

Consider:

-even with massive grifting, solely from the MAGAT rubes, they are burning up tons of cash on lawyer fees, court appearance costs and more. The big name contributors, per more than a few sources, have closed their wallets. Hence the new appeals based upon FBI malfeasance.
-Every dollar Trump gets denies those dollars to the R's running in the mid-terms and beyond.
-Heck, even the R Senate fund raising arm is hurting for $ as once again, former big money contributors are hesitating since they do not want Trump to run and mess things up.

Yes, money does drive both parties but apparently the Right has had enough of Trump and fear he will fuck it all up.

This is what is really squeezing them hard right now, to the point that they've openly stopped sending money to certain states like PA. It's rare to see Repubs give up a state like that, even though Oz is tanking.

They're footing his legal bills and all of the grassroots dollars are going to tfg. They made this problem for themselves and it is eating them alive.

Good.

they're all wealthy, and they don't care about anyone but themselves.

You're ascribing normal human characteristics to them. They're not normal, and barely qualify as human. They feel none of the things you listed.

They're fucking monsters.

Sitting in the turmoil zone they stirred for themselves? Jeebus crackers exactly which part of "the more you stir shit the more it stinks" did TFG stooges fail to learn in goddamn elementary school?
That sewer stinks up everyone's environment.
Same nausea I've felt that I can't turn on the news without more and more "Trump Trump, and Trump-ally" making still true the adage "No such thing as bad publicity" while 7 million deplorables cheer every reprehensible act.
It's seriously damaged our nation, our already shaky world reputation, bares our weakness as the country that can't get the Trumpenstein monster under control.
In turn, everyday, casual rudeness has multiplied, our mental and physical health has suffered magnanimous pathology. The worst mental patients have escaped and rule the behavior of the likes of MTG and Boebert clowns with full crowd funded support.
No. It all is far too embarrassing, puerile and stupid for me to take glee in other's suffering. It's dragged us all down to their level of discourse.
We've all got enough problems to handle without that bugblatter beast of Troll and progeny infesting all our homes.

It’s the whole perception thing. Perception management.

But reality often has a different agenda.

say in public either in statement or posture is what's really going on. Trump and his MAGA cohorts are only fooling the Cult. They are trembling.
