Let's start with The Center for Public Integrity:
SarahPAC is simply burning through more money than it’s bringing in.
During 2015, SarahPAC expenditures ($1.4 million) outpaced income (about $950,000), federal records show. This, from a former politician who markets her “fiscal responsibility” bona fides and once urged lawmakers to “cut spending — don't just simply slow down a spending spree” as an elixir to the Great Recession.
By another measure: the $457,459 SarahPAC reported raising from July 1 through Dec. 1 represents its smallest half-year haul since its formation in early 2009.
Meanwhile, conservative politicians’ campaigns didn’t receive a dime of SarahPAC’s heavy spending during the second half of 2015. Only a handful of lawmakers directly received cash during the first half of 2015.
This might surprise Palin supporters, who she solicits to “chip in $25 today to help us stack Congress with true conservatives” while asserting that SarahPAC is “working hard to support and elect conservative leaders.”
Ouch!
As I mentioned earlier I was really hoping that since Palin's national profile had been raised, partly because of her endorsement of Donald Trump and partly because her son was arrested for beating a woman, that she and her PAC would receive more scrutiny.
And that certainly appears to be the case.
Here is what HuffPo had to say:
SarahPAC’s most dedicated donors of late 2015 — those giving more than $200 — are elderly: More than three in five such contributors listed their occupation as “retired” or some variation thereof. They are most likely to hail from California, Texas or Florida.
But small-dollar donors, who don’t have to publicly reveal who they are or what they do, provided the lion’s share of SarahPAC contributions during late 2015.
To woo them, SarahPAC offers public television-like incentives to supporters willing to make a more modest contribution.
Backers donating at least $75 receive an autographed copy of Palin’s book “Sweet Freedom: A Devotional.”
Those who give $100 take home a plush “SarahPAC mama grizzly bear” toy.
Many of those donations — $22,325 in all during the second half of 2015, federal records show — funded SarahPAC’s purchase of Palin’s own book and those grizzly bear toys.
I have said before, but it bears repeating, donating to SarahPAC should be a universally recognized sign of mental illness.
The new financial filings have also attracted the interest of the International Business Times, Inquisitr, Al Jazeera, and Blasting News.
If you will allow me to do a little of my Snoopy dance here I would just like to point out that this is essentially what I predicted would happen as far back as 2010.
Sarah Palin will NEVER successfully, or even seriously run for office again, and will over time will fade from the spotlight until her name is only mentioned as one of the $100 questions on Jeopardy.
She looks 'hollow' in the above photo! Look at her eye sockets! Another apt word for her! Down she goes - flush, flush!
ReplyDeleteThat is because her head is hollow.
DeleteFaces of meth ..
DeleteShe looks "hollow" now, period! She officiated at her best friend Kristan Sapp Cole's wedding and looked like something the cat dragged in. She tries to live vibrantly but nothing she ever does works out the way she plans! When you're a classic narcissist that's the way it goes...eventually.
DeleteIt's the vacuum inside.
DeleteIt does look like birds came and pecked out her eyeballs.
DeleteHollow, as in vacuous, empty or air headed and whatnot.

ReplyDeleteDaily Kos:
Meanwhile, back in Alaska, SarahPAC is going broke -- fast
The end of July FEC PAC filings are out and, as expected, Sarah Palin's scam -- oops, meant to say "Sarah Palin's PAC" -- SarahPAC is going broke, spending money like a drunken sailor in Singapore on payday.
Page 4 of the filing lists $25,000 in donations to other candidates out of a total of $753,232.84 in expenses -- that's around 4% of her cash she has donated to help "conservative" candidates.
Over the past six weeks, SarahPAC has issued screeching appeals for
(1) $10 for a chance on a drawing for a hockey stick autographed by Sarah;
(2) $15 to help her stop the Iran nuclear deal; and now
(3) she needs $20 from each of us to abolish Planned Parenthood.
Remember this: No one in the Palin family is employed
Bristol has a very part-time job at a dermatologist's office;
Willow is a hairdresser in a low-rent Anchorage salon).
Todd just bought a new (used) airplane.
Bristol is knocked up with a second fatherless child.
Trigg, the Down Syndrome 6-yr-old, requires special training and care.
The half-a-million on hand will last through the end of 2015.

Who won the hockey stick? I thought I read it would take 3 months to select a winner, are they hoping everyone will just forget and not ask for their hockey stick?
DeleteFor those who donated to stop the EyeRan deal and abolishing PP, I would ask for a refund!!!
I actually saw her name used in a crossword puzzle this morning! Made me want to barf!
ReplyDeleteWe Alaskans know her to well! She is deserving of every ridicule coming her way. May she rot in Hell for all of her unchristian like deeds done upon this earth!
And I barfed late last night when I turned on my TV and saw a re-aired E! segment that mentioned Bristol and her baby after a story on Coco's new baby Chanel. I was all set to enjoy a little TV before going to sleep, and when I clicked on my TV I had the bad luck of having a certain channel on at a certain moment in time. It's like you just can't get away from these freakyass Palins.
DeleteYou are better off going to sleep to Forensic Files. Fewer nightmares. Trust me. 😜
DeleteWhat was the clue? A 5 letter word for "grifter" ?
DeleteJeopardy Show
DeleteAnswer: This quitting governor said she studied both French and Spanish in high school, adding, “I shouldn’t have taken them both, because I got them all mixed up by the time I was graduating.”
Question: Where did Sarah Palin learn to speak Word Salad?
11:59 Peter Thomas' voice is so soothing that Forensic Files is my favorite overnight channel. He's better than using white noise to overcome tinnitus when it interferes with sleeping! No applause; no canned laughter... just Peter's silky, low-toned voice-over.
DeleteSuch a good article. And I'm so glad the elderly are mentioned.
ReplyDeleteIt kills me that, even after such a disastrous January, Palin is going to be on NBC's Today show Monday. I mean, what kind of person does it take to just ignore everything that's out there about what a lousy job she did for Trump, that she threw her oldest kid under the bus, and that her finances are a crooked mess. She so craves the spotlight that it just doesn't matter what happens--she just seeks out yet another way to be in the public eye. And to be down on the mainland where she can work at selling herself. It's my understanding that interviews are not paid for, so I'm assuming her thing on today will be a freebie. But even so, it will yet again give attention to her. It makes me sick.
And will she be asked about the PAC? Track's PTSD? Bristol's baby drama? Or will Today agree to just getting her analysis/opinion on the GOP candidates?
They aren't going to ask her squat. The Today Show isn't exactly known for hard-hitting journalism, more like fluff pieces ad nauseum. She'd never agree to appear if they did.
DeleteI've seen the ads while watching the morning news today. I wish they'd stop calling her "governor." She was no governor even when she had the title before she up and quit.
I say good for them, let her appear on national TV. She will invariably show how stupid and ignorant she is, thus hastening her own demise. Plus, that very foolish, crazed woman will continue to praise Trump, which can hopefully only serve to hasten the death of his Presidential aspirations. Bring the old hag on!
DeleteMATT LAUER HAS A "HARD ON" FOR THE BITCH ALWAYS! ICK..
Delete9:24, are you saying that the interview has been taped, so it's not that she'll be appearing live on the show Monday?
DeleteYeah, I hate when they call her Governor. I normally like it when people address others by their past titles, giving those people respect they deserve, but when I hear that "Governor" used with Palin, it makes me retch.
I am sure she begged for her interview with Matt Lauer and she is hoping that by being in Iowa Trump will ask her to campaign with him. So convenient to be there on caucus day and all...
Delete9:55 Does Matt Lauer remind you of anyone else she "palled" around with, namely Joe Miller? Another BIG ICK!
DeleteJust another excuse for her to spend a few nights at The Plaza hotel. Thanks suckas!
DeleteRelax, everytime $cratch has done a high-profile interview, her insufficiencies become all the more apparent.
DeleteThis is how SarahPAC works: A candidate donates, and $arah$aysPayme endorses. That is her job.
Delete9:11; no, I doubt she'll be asked about her PAC, Track, Dakota Meyer, or anything of substanc. It'll be the usual campaign-like crapola she's usually asked. Trump! Will you ever run? When is the Iron Dog? Blah blah effin' blah. She's never really asked anything of substance.
DeleteEveryone needs to send notes to the Today show and let them know what we know of her in Alaska.
DeleteAll her lies to include the last kid she didn't give birth to - her unethical ways - her disasters as to the children she raised - the affairs she and Todd have had on each other - Todd's prostitution business and on and on!
10:06 AM - No, I'm not saying it's taped. It will be live, just hype to get people to tune in.
Deletehey Sarah may be Gryphen can send the reason you resigned and they can ask you about it?
DeleteI consider Matt Lauer a journalist as much as I do the quitter.
DeleteTODAY will hit the road, broadcasting live from Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday, Feb. 1, the morning of the caucuses. As the presidential campaign kicks into high gear, we'll be talking with candidates, voters and Donald Trump's newest ally Sarah Palin, who will be joining the anchors exclusively during the special edition of TODAY.

DeleteDone!
Conservaclown Supporters with a brain (not very many of those at the peepond), would donate directly to the candidate. SarahPAC is the Palins personal spending account.
ReplyDeleteSarah will NEVER run for any office. She is too stupid, and lazy. That's why she supports the Trumpass. He keeps saying that he would find a position for her. Unfortunately, that position will have Sarah doing the Bristol; on her back with her legs in the air. Political whoring is all she is good at.
Come on, Gryphen. Those donations paid for Sarah to get plastic surgery so she wouldn't look like she does in that header photo.
ReplyDeleteShe sure has descended.....bam!
ReplyDeleteRedstate site, are completely anti-Trump and post daily articles against Trump, one of which is their disdain at Breitbart News. They try to reason with commenters at Breitbart and are so shocked that the Trumpeters are crude and hateful. Now, why did they never see that before?
So, one article at Redstate complains about how unpolitically correct Trump is, and how downright rude he is. It's incredible that they don't see their own behavior as they condemn the Trumpeters.
They all feel totally betrayed by Palin. They would be eager to hear about her Pac numbers. Sarah has hitched herself to the man who is GOP enemy number one, and while they do some background checks on his past, it opens up a whole can of worms that parallels things that Gov. Sarah Palin did.
She'd better get her resume up to date.
TheresaAK and I here ya
DeleteShe has no work history to put on a resume!!!
DeleteMayor of Wasilla - she hired someone to do the work for her.
She quit as gov of Alaska.
She was fired from Channel 2 in Anchorage - sports announcer she was NOT!
She ran for VP of the U.S. w/McCain in the top spot! They lost substantially to President Obama and VP Biden! Thank god almighty!
She has no work history at all. Remember too, she doesn't like to work - it's not in her DNA.
No one in Alaska would hire the bitch!
That might be the ultimate beauty of all of this. The GOP created Sarah Palin, the GOP protected Sarah Palin, and now Sarah Palin has publicly embraced the man whose goal in life seems to be to give a big middle finger to the GOP.
DeleteIs it any wonder the floodgates are finally opening, with insiders speaking out and media stories coming out?
Good going, Sarah Palin.
10:29 The only job for her in Alaska is scrubbing toilets in prison. That we might hire and hold a job for her with her name listed for 'DUTY 'duty.
DeleteAs long as she breathes, I'll NEVER not worry about the rise of her and evil that she represents. Not because she is so smart, but because I have realized what a large mass of frightened ignorant people there are in this country.
ReplyDeleteShe is so fueled by hate and revenge, we can only hope that she actually combusts into cinders soon. Until then, she looms as a threat on my horizon.
This is how I feel. She stands for all that is toxic. And represents how there is a certain segment of the population that is as toxic and dangerously ignorant--the combination is so scary.
DeleteI never knew how many dumb people there are in the US before her rise. I used to argue with my friends about it but never again. The US population has been considerably dumbed down. #ThanksKochs
Deleteor gather the cock roaches in one spot?
DeleteEvery article describes her spending as "lavish". Yes Sarah has grown used to living the high life and staying at five star hotels and being driven in a fancy limousine like the important person she thinks she is.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Sarah will be interviewed in Iowa by the Today crew on Monday. I bet she flies coach out of Alaska to prove once again that she is a victim of a mean and biased media. She is a fiscal conservative, blah, blah, blah......
If Sarah has spent her own money as recklessly as she has spent SarahPac money, it is no wonder that she is desperate to unload her home in Arizona.
I can't wait to see what she's wearing!
DeleteBig snowstorm comin' in, Sarah! Blizzard conditions in the forecast.
Might wanna bring your high heeled snow boots!
She's actually co-hosting with the anchors. At least that's what they are saying.
DeleteSo with all the former politicians out there, they could only book Sarah?
DeleteMaybe they are punking her and this is a way to get more material for SNL.
I loved the twitter feed responses about her appearance,at least 98% of the ones I read were negative.
A positive one I remember said something like liberals are bankrupting SarahPAC. The logic behind that eludes me.
Boy, liberal sure are a powerful force: caused Track to punch a woman, busy bankrupting SarahPAC, make Bristol get pregnant and lose future husbands.
"Backers donating at least $75 receive an autographed copy of Palin’s book “Sweet Freedom: A Devotional.”
ReplyDeleteThose who give $100 take home a plush “SarahPAC mama grizzly bear” toy"
What do you get if you donate a plugged nickel? Pretty sure I'd be willing to donate that much. Surely this horrible woman is worth a plugged nickel, isn't she?
Why is she referred to as a hockey mom? Who played hockey? Track in grade school? I've never understood why she's called that. I can't imagine Bristol or Willow ever played.
DeleteTrack played hockey and was kicked out of games early for excessive violence. Then he graduated to beating women for grins and giggles.
DeleteBecause she called herself that at the GOP 2008 convention. Pure fiction.
DeleteYeah, I figured as much. Alaska: Snow, Ice, Hockey. It all fits.
DeleteIS SARAH PALIN THE ANTICHRIST, THE FALSE PROPHET, SATAN THE DEVIL, THE BEAST?
ReplyDeleteAccording to one premillennial Christian interpretation, Jesus will return to earth and defeat the Antichrist (the "beast"), the False Prophet and Satan the Devil in the Battle of Armageddon. Then Satan will be put into the "bottomless pit" or abyss for 1,000 years, known as the Millennium. After being released from the abyss, Satan will gather Gog and Magog from the four corners of the earth. They will encamp surrounding the "holy ones" and the "beloved city" (this refers toJerusalem). Fire will come down from God, out of heaven and devour Gog and Magog. The Devil, death, hell, and those not found written in the Book of Life are then thrown intoGehenna (the lake of fire burning with brimstone).
Anyone smell sulfur aka brimstone around Sarah?

oh gees...people..people...it's a metaphor!

DeleteTed,
DeletePlease forgive my ignorance, but how do you make your links clickable? I can rarely click or access many links that people post here but I can always click yours. Maybe it's my phone, I don't know. Forgive me, I'm an old :-)
Ted, I always enjoy reading your posts. I had to look that one up and it's very fitting for Palin. There's another one: what goes around comes around.
DeleteIt's an html thing
DeleteI'm not Ted & I haven't tried this before here, so let's see if it works =)
It requires a tiny bit of HTML to encapsulate a link with a tag that makes it live...
Delete... or you can highlight the link and right-click for a GoTo menu which clicking on Go To will take you right to it and even open it in another tab for you.
how do you make your links clickable?
DeleteHere's the OP, with "&" replaced by "&", "<" replaced by "<", and ">" replaced by ">" so what your see on the screen matches what I entered to produce the original post.
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic_transit_gloria_mundi"><i>Sic transit gloria mundi</i></a> :-)
Note that the <i> and the </i> enclosing the text to be displayed had nothing to do with making the link clickable—I just wanted it in italics because it was Latin.
The link "It's an html thing" above leads to a page with much more detail.
With the Firefox browser, highlighting a URL and right-clicking on it brings up a menu with Open Link, Open Link in New Tab, Open Link in New Window, and a bunch of other choices.
Gryphen didn't use to allow hotlinks in comments.
DeletePosting of the link has been always ok but AFAIK not an actual clickable hotlink.

ReplyDeleteshe is scared and not in a healthy way! she can take down some in politics or people and leaderships! but that really won't do much to change the global stage! she thinks it will but it won't! dumb damn broad!
DeleteWonderful news.
ReplyDeleteHer must must be reeling by now. The past few months have not been kind to the Palins. I bet she's upping her meds/drug use. I'm sure Donald Trump is re-thinking what to do with her. I bet before she endorsed Trump she had a conversation with Tawd that went something like: "We rilly need to endorse Trump. Fuck Ted Cruz, Trump has more money and connections. If we can just sucker this billionaire, we can rilly hit it big. And plus, if he wins, he might make me his Vee Pee." Hahaha, utter fail bitch.
ReplyDelete"Her must be reeling by now."
DeleteNo, her is not, but SHE is. Get the grammar app. You write like Bristol probably does. You're better than that. :D
Trump said in regards to the money for the veterans organizations that he was evaluating the organizations - how they spend their money and in particular what their expenses are - he likes to see "low" expenses. Oops - He might not approve of the way Sarah manages her PAC...
DeleteOf course he's "evaluating." Only until people forget and move on, and he'll pocket the whole thing.

There goes Bristol's $5,000 a month "allowance" - she'll have to get a real job to support herself and her 4 kids.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking $arah might just have to go out and get a real job.
DeleteWell, MALOE said yesterday, that Bri$$le's take is down to $3500/month from $20,000/month. And supposedly only until March...
Delete@ Monyet kecil, Does that mean that Bristol will have to wear last year's Louboutin shoes? Oh, the shame. That girl needs a new purse for every day of the week.
DeleteNo, she will take Levi back to court for more child support-her personal piggy bank.
DeleteThen she will have to think about going after Sailor's dad, whoever that might be, but maybe not because she might have to "share" her with dad.
"...until her name is only mentioned as one of the $100 questions on Jeopardy."
ReplyDeleteLet's guess what that question will be!
Maybe, "Who was the prick teaser who quit as a State Governor in order to grift her way through life, exploit her children & blame their behavior on a President, be a poster child for hypocrisy, legitimize crassness & evilness of every description and destroy the Republican Party?
"She is now a nobody?"
Correct.

That's for sure. Just when everyone says this is the end of her, she pops back up all over that lamestream media.
DeleteIt still amazes me that ANYONE would still donate to that useless organization that has proved, over and over again, to be nothing but a slush fund for the lazy Palin family.

DeleteThe scrutiny of $arahPAC is just beginning - everything written about her now is negative. With luck, the IRS will dig in and use $PAC as an example of using funds illegally.
ReplyDelete$he will always draw an audience/web clicks etc. because people are so eager to hear her jaw dropping 'performances' and the horrific outfits she wears. It has nothing to do with 'support' for this lying loser. We at IM are guilty of the same curiosity - but we use it to try and take her down and reveal her ugly self.
Slightly o/t: It's time to pull out all stops and challenge all media to do a live interview with BrisDull. $he has not spoken a public word for years - since her DWTS days.
I am beyond sick of this lying phony getting publicity for "her" blog posts in which she expounds on political and social topics. It serves to feed the PayMe grift. A media interview would reveal in a matter of minutes that The Chin does not have the vocabulary, education or political acumen to speak to any issues, let alone write about them. I personally am going to be in touch with friends at KTVA/Anchorage and others to challenge them to do so. If "BrisDull's" blog posts are "newsworthy" an interview would be even more so. Fat chance tho that The Dullard will consent to talk with anyone - she knows it would reveal her incompetence. Meanwhile, I will also continue to say Shame on You! to any media that post "her" blogs posts and tell them that they are written by Nancy French who is paid by $PAC to do so.
Ain't never gonna happen! Bristol always thought she was too cute to need education. She has NEVER voted in all the local elections around here because she doesn't care about politics at all. If you asked her why she thought the country was so racially divided, I guarantee you she would say um well um see the problem is I think um that we are just really divided racially as a country.
DeleteBristol and her mother share this one thing in common......they won't do any interviews unless the questions are submitted for approval ahead of time. So they can memorize some Wikipedia answers, Period.
There is a groundswell of anti-PayMe sentiment that I've never seen before ... it is steady and gaining steam. I do believe the momentum will not be stopped this time. Too many things are feeding it ... $PAC, Caint Get Right's 'combat' duty ... BrisDull's promiscuity ...$creech's rambling spews ... and so much more to come! Even $arah in her oblivious lack of self awareness has to be noticing the constant backlash and the fact that she is a bigger laughingstock than ever. Sit back and enjoy the show!
ReplyDeletehaha And $he lost ass-kissers in droves by supporting Trump.
DeleteDelicious schadenfreude.
She may have driven away far mroe than the ass-kissers. The GOP powers-that-be don't like Trump any more than the ass-kisses do, and they are the ones who created the force-field around Palin in the first place.

DeleteEVERY SARAHPAC FEC REPORT WE SEE THE SAME NAMES GETTING THEIR SHARE OF THE $$$ LOOT $$$ FROM THE ELDERLY AND RETIRED
ReplyDeleteWho are on Sarah Palin's $$$ payroll $$$?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whose names do we see on SarahPac's FEC report after SarahPac's FEC report?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think it has been rude of Sarah Palin for not introducing to the old and elderly the SarahPac Gang that they have enriched. The numbers and names you see below is from a 2013 post but the names repeat on every SarahPac FEC
LET'S MEET THEM
The Daily Beast:
The biggest individual beneficiary of Palin’s largesse was SarahPAC’s treasurer, TIMOTHY CRAWFORD, who made $80,500 as consultant for fundraising and compliance. Others who profited off the group include REBECCA MANSOUR, the aspiring screenwriter behind the website Conservatives4Palin. Her firm, ARIES PETRA CONSULTING, made $38,000 for speechwriting. ANDREW DAVIS, a longtime Republican operative and Palin adviser, netted nearly $35,000 for research. SarahPAC also paid CAROL RYAN Carol and MARILYN LANE, two women from Wasilla, Alaska, $2,500 a month apiece for “part-time clerical work.”
Palin’s political action committee also spent six figures on what her campaign-finance reports described as “logistics”: $53,923.07 went to a Florida firm called GREY STRATEGIES, run by former Bush advance man Doug McMarlin; NORTHSTAR STRATEGIES, based in New Orleans and owned by another former Bush advance man, Jason Recher, received $48,740.

There's rumors that Carol Ryan and Marilyn Lane are SarahPac paid babysitters for Sarah when her kids were younger. Is that true Sarah?
DeleteJason Recher and Dough McMarlin are the most curious expenditures. Their share of the pie increased beginning Feb 2015 even as donations were slowing down. We see Recher serving as Sarah's bodyguard when she travels but I don't get what McMarlin does. I don't get how Sarah can justify spending over $16,000 a month on logistics (they each got 14 checks in 2015) when she travels infrequently. So, for the conspiracy theorists here, this is the most likely place Sarah could discretely take cash out of the PAC if she or any family/friends are on either Grey or Northstar payrolls.
DeleteCarol Ryan.
DeleteI think she is a close friend of the mother of Ivy Frye, special assistant to Palin, subpoenaed in Troopergate.

They are all close pals and at one time or another they may have all been baby sitting for Sarah.

I hear Sarah was always a rotten mother and used other people. The same group of farmer also helped cheat on the DWTS votes. The same as the Cusack family.

It's a way of shifting the dollars without looking real stinky about it.
Speaking of stinky - the whole Rainbow Lodge share ownership and sale smells real funny to me.
Oh - and UBETCHA a WHOLE lot of Palin personal expenses are being shifted over into their many Delaware-based business enterprises. These grifters are also scammers who do NOT pay the taxes they owe like us RIL 'MURICANS.
Hep O. Crits
Imagine that, Hep.
DeleteSaw it years ago.
As I've said plenty, let them go right ahead. Just don't preach to us, $arah, Brissy, and Brancy, about a god you don't even follow let alone emulate!
Todd divested himself from Rainbow Lodge two years ago.
DeleteRichter Investments CEO is the same as that one that diverted $$$ from that HUGE account at Western United Life Assurance Insurance Company! What goes around comes around hu Sarah? Investigate that folks!
DeleteDonald Trump does not understand 'relationship' with Jesus of the New Testament. He showed it again with his new ad, admonishing voters that he'll always support christians, as he props up his bible. That display turns evangelicals off. He shows his ignorance in all things christian. He uses the bible like he uses his money to draw the gullible. It's so repulsive to true believers. Trump doesn't even take the time to get educated on how to learn how to be an effective snake-oil charlatan, in the fake christian tv-evangelist way. He just doesn't understand anything about it. Iowans see the deviation. Now they see the truth behind Sarah too.
ReplyDeleteA real christian would never be fooled by Donald Trump. Sarah not only endorsed this false witness, but asks people for donations so she can travel with him.
Anyone smell sulphur around Sarah?
Let's be real, Trump is more God-like than Payme will ever be.
DeleteIf the FEC doesn't have the teeth, maybe public shame is the next best thing. The more publicity, the fewer the donations. Sarah is finally getting a little of what she deserves. That's why she tries so much harder, and her speeches have become babble. If only there was something criminal in there......
ReplyDeleteShe thinks she's such a political diva. She deserves every bit tossed back in her smug face and I, for one, am loving every minute of it.
DeleteKeep shaking it, $arah, you have absolutely no concept of how people are laughing at you.
"I would just like to point out that this is essentially what I predicted would happen as far back as 2010.............."
ReplyDeleteWell duhhhhh. Anyone with half a brain knew she was done completely with being a politician ever again, and that she would be doing exactly what she is doing now. Duhh again. Yet you just can't seem to stop talking about her.
BTW the pac doesn't really mean that much. It was eventually going to dry up. She only cares about pretending to be involved politically for appearances sake. It is all about celebrity baby, d-list and all. And nothing that has happened this last year, or is going to happen in the next, will change the fact that she will continue to force her face onto tv and get the Palin name in People magazine etc... And nothing you can do will change that.
Lol.
Without a Real job, the PAC is $arah's only source of income.
Deletecell block 6 is her future sweetie! lol
Deleteoh ok then! we can talk about July 3rd 2009?
DeleteAgree with you.
DeleteI'm pretty sure the family has a bit of Sarah's 13$ million estimated worth in 2010 left, but I can't imagine they have more than 3-4 million and that's going to have to last them all the rest of their lives unless someone gets a real job.
DeleteThere will be belt tightening for sure.
1221 where do you think some of that money came from? that HUGE account hu Sarrry?
DeleteMy favorite pic of Sarah isn't one where she looks so terrible like the one above. It's actually a shot of her during her interview with Charlie Gibson, whete she is hesitating after he's asked her if she agrees with the Bush doctrine. I don't have a link handy, but she is slightly gritting her teeth and you can tell she's really both pissed and stumped, sonce she followed up with that great answer, "In what respect, Charlie?". Vintage Palin. That response, or non-response, speaks volumes, imo.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the deer in the headlights look.
DeleteIn retrospect, she also looks heavily medicated there.
DeleteAnother thing about Sarah's lack of christian credentials, and the last straw for evangelicals, is that Sarah Palin "officiated" at her friend's wedding.
ReplyDeleteAny true evangelical would know that is anathema. No true christian would dare to bind two people in marriage in a secular way. They would have a minister officiate, someone who blessed the marriage in the Name. They would encourage their friends to ask for God's blessing, from a pastor they trusted that was a follower of Christ, and who had the good fruit and was a good witness.
No christian would officiate a wedding, especially someone who wasn't even affiliated with a church, or attended church, or most importantly, showed the dead rotten fruit that Sarah Palin smells of.
This is Cole's FOURTH wedding, so it is not as though it is a serious occasion. How many has $carah officiated at, that sank like wedding rings in Lake Lucille??
DeleteMaybe new hubby should have taken notice of that. Fourth marriage? Good luck, buddy.
DeleteStill on my first, 33 years in April. Slogging away good and bad....sounds to me like her way or the highway.
We are soon celebrating 21 years together and never bothered with the marriage part :-)
Deleteyeah quite the real estate whore!
DeleteMarried over 38 yrs ago and still happily married couple of atheists :)
DeleteAs to anon 3:32 pm, maybe not legally but you have made that commitment towards each other so carry on :)
But most of the 3rd, 4th...10th ( yes I know an evangelical that just got married for the 10th time) seem to be the so-called religious crowd, or at least in my life experience.
Sarah Palin will NEVER successfully, or even seriously run for office again
ReplyDelete------------------------
I thought you wrote and others commented here that she COULDN’T run again because of the deal she made for quitting the governorship.
Since it has been 8 years and that witch is still in the spotlight, given media airtime to spew her hatred, how can you be so sure she isn’t going to run again?
Now that SarahPAC is going broke, seems like she is going to be looking around for a new job. Like in someone’s administration or running for some office, where she can collect a salary and not do any work.
gee call 'Governor wears a Dress' then Sarah!
Delete"A job" is definitely something that Sarah does not want. I don't think there is anything preventing her from actually running for office here again, she can run all she wants, the problem remains that NO ONE here will vote for her, except for maybe Bristol.
DeleteThere's no government job or elected office that can keep Sarah (and her props) in the manner to which she has grown accustomed.
DeleteDonald Trump says he's a smart man. Did he ask Sarah Palin for her resume before she started campaigning for him? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin's Resume:
$ Quitter
$ Person everybody despises
$ Married to a pimp who used a single struggling mother with Special Needs children as his prostitute
$ Has a son who is a drunk arrested for Domestic Violence who is out on bail
$ Has a daughter who has never been married with two children who comes from two different men
$ Has a high school dropout daughter
$ Entire family involved in the infamous Sarah Palin Family Drunken Brawl
$ Multi-millionaire who has three adult children with high school or less education
$ Cons our retired and elderly to fund her extravagant lifestyle

ReplyDelete¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Blasting News:
With John McCain's campaign in desperate need of a spark, his Republican advisors plucked Palin from The Last Frontier and placed her on the ticket as the vice presidential nominee.
Palin was quickly exposed for her lack of knowledge on the most basic of subjects, and the GOP nominees were defeated by President Obama and Vice President Biden in Nov. 2008. Over the next few years, Palin became a Tea Party darling and mainstay on the Fox News Channel, but recently the failed vice presidential candidate has acted in ways that even her strongest supporters have started to question her behavior . As reported by the Center for Public Integrity on Jan. 29, Palin's lavish spending has nearly brought her super PAC "SarahPAC" into the red.
Fiscal fake
While mostly out of the spotlight over the last year, Palin sprung back into American politics when she endorsed Donald Trumpfor president just two weeks ago. Just hours after announcing her support, news broke out of Wasilla, Alaska that her 26-year-old son Track Palin was arrested and chargedwith domestic violence against a female. Now with Palin back in the headlines, a new story as been leaked detailing the financial issues of SarahPAC.
With less than $400,000 remaining at the end of 2015, Palin's PAC is struggling to stay afloat. SarahPac raised $950,000 last year, but ended up spending $1.4 million, a net loss of nearly a half a million dollars.
Where did all the money go?
As detailed by CFPI, SarahPAC's spending became out of control by the end of 2015. On travel and related expenses alone the PAC spent nearly $50,000. While appearing at a rally in the fall with Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Palin's hotel bill was covered by the PAC, which resulted in a hit of $4,700. SarahPAC would often overspend just to make sure Palin had the best lodging in each city she visited.
Other big money items included spending over $248,000 for consultants, $160,141 on fundraising and website management, and over $11,000 on legal fees. SarahPAC's decline peaked in the second half of 2015 after they were only able to raise slightly more than $457,000, the least amount pulled in since the PAC's creation in 2009.

DeleteIf Sarah Palin can't manage a simple PAC, how screwed will the Department of Energy be after the first month of her reign of error?
ReplyDeleteRemember her whole plan is to close down the Department of Energy which Sarah thinks is in charge of gas and oil. So there would be no oversight of the nuclear power industry in the country.
DeleteBeaglemom
Beaglemom--Yes, I noticed that too! But aside from the obvious doltishness of her statement--I think that maybe no nuclear oversight would be just peachy keen with these science know-nothings (and proud of it!!)

DeleteWe, even as Alaskans, watched a few episodes of that crapfest and my husband still, whenever he hears Palin's name mentioned, calls her "Juicy" in reference to when she was terrified climbing a slight incline rock face and Todd was behind her and called her "Juicy".

ReplyDeleteI feel bad for all the Palin true believers who forked over their hard-won cash only to now find that the vast majority of it went into consultants’ coffers.
I DON'T sorry for them. Every penny Sarah Palin collects from these people just encourages her to find more ways and scams to get their money such as the hockey stick and teddy bear scams.

Jeopardy Show
ReplyDeleteAnswer: This quitting governor said she studied both French and Spanish in high school, adding, “I shouldn’t have taken them both, because I got them all mixed up by the time I was graduating.”
Question: Where did Sarah Palin learn to speak Word Salad?
At least she finished high school.
DeleteShe sure didn't graduate college.
Sarah is going to have a yuuuuge problem fundraising in 2016. Those easy marks that the direct mail house has been targeting, the ones who send checks for a couple hundred dollars and have never donated before (and never will again), I'm betting they won't be Trump voters but they'll know all about Sarah's embarrassing performance while her violent drunken son was being arrested.
ReplyDeleteAll the potential soft target donors will know all about what Sarah did, and NOT approve. The next SarahPAC FEC return should be a doozy.
Somebody please open a book on whether Trump will ever again allow himself even to be photographed in the same room as Sarah Palin. She has brought scrutiny upon him that he cannot stand up to.
She's put the carrot in front of her rube donors for 8 yrs, she did not ryn for President in 2008 or 2016, even most of her regular donors have or will figure out that sending her $$$$ for Bristol's designer purses and shoes is a waste of their dollars.
DeleteI'm willing to bet that the Palin's two cabin properties go up for sale within the next year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Palins may have to find "rill" jobs in the near future.
ReplyDeleteTracks odds of getting one is pretty low, but at least Wallow and Barstool can become prostitutes for Todd in his pimp business.
As for Sarah....what would anyone hire her to do? She's too old to be a hooker or a stripper.
FYI to those desiring designer purses and shoes in the Wasilla area, be watching on Craigslist because I have the feeling someone may be selling theirs real soon.
