I'll donate if 100% of the proceeds go towards giving the kid a life-size tattoo of Trump's face, just like his granddaddy has of Nixon.

I am too much a advocate of free-market principles to fund anyone who chose his grandfather so carelessly.

UPDATE! UPDATE! (11:30am ET)

It's up to $1875 since the wonket article; a $1000 increase in just under 48 hours. It's worth noting that half of that is from one donation. Without that outlier, it's running about $10/hour, kinda like working at McDonald's but without the pride.

Oh for goodness sake. I worked part-time at newsagents while I was at uni and I'm still paying off my student loans. (this is in the UK so probably different, but I imagine this kid being asked to do a low paying job would be met with "Wahhh"!). Honestly I think that any college/university student should be made to be employed by a low paying job for a bit and watch how people treat you. Probably won't make any difference though.

Auction some of that wardrobe Roger. I’d buy a hat. For a nickel.

Does the kid have a tattoo of Nixon on his ass, just like dear old grand-dad?

I reported the campaign for libel, graft and outright stupidity. You can too, just click the link! Maybe they'll take it down due to all the false statements about the investigation.

Still only up to $1k, but they shouldn't be getting a penny. It feels kind of cathartic to report Roger as an a-hole even if the authorities are just gofundme. You're a prick Roger!

I'll go one step further. As a casual student of American 19th century history, focused on railroads and Wall Street, the granddads had money because they stole money on such a scale, and cheated so egregiously, that they had to become philanthropists to disguise their misanthropy, to survive their own scandals, and to die before the enactment of the very reforms being stripped away now.

Here's to whoever said "from shirt-sleeves to shirt-sleeves in the generations."

Make it so.

RS allegedly is a swinger. He is clearly a kinky kook. He can gargle cock and balls while spinning salads - in or out of prison. Where does he sign up?
