The Freep-a-Thon last year raised 90k per quarter. It was about 350k for the whole year.

This might be outdated, but in 2009 or so Jimrob was getting a lot of flack and posted the budget breakdown for Freep. About 90% of it went to Jimrob and his family and the other 10% still had extremely suspicious amounts for things that went to Jimrob and his family like "Travel" and "taxes."

The breakdown was:

JimRob - 140k for administration
John - 110k for "programming" and maintenance.
Ann (John's Wife and JimRob's daughter-in-law) - 25k for clerical services.

I think Freep was more profitable back in 2009, but Jimrob has steadfastly refused to itemize costs ever again (that I am aware of) since then and just started zotting people who ask why hosting costs so much.

They must have watched the Rocknaldo episode and sympathized with the jerk who joined a hamfisted attempt at a surrogate for a minority group then treated them all like poo poo when he wasn't the center of attention.

It's more likely that the figures JimRob released were bullshit and he was finding ways to re-catagorize money that he and his family took to prove that Freep "needs" 379k a year to keep running.

Its an LLC. You can find it on the California SecState's office.

So when he says taxes... Hey, wasn't there a seminal tax law case that said taxes paid on behalf of executives are in fact taxable income?

Again a very likpatous story
Remember that contrary to what you might think a hardcore right-wing site like Freep would do, JimRob makes it a point that he pays as much in taxes as possible, because to get out of taxes would be unfair or something I don't remember. Whether that's how much he actually pays or not is anyone's guess, but that's his claim.

Why is this guy allowed to call himself a Republican and be a member of the Republican party? It's obvious as hell he's a far left Democrap. I'm getting sick and tired of these Democrap operatives in my party back stabbing every chance they get. Is there a way to kick them out?

I hope all of the dummies who are beating the impeachment and obstruction of justice drum , check their stock and 401 k portfolios tonight. The market is in the tank because they see the Trump agenda is in jeopardy.

quote:

Mr. McCain... I was a volunteer on your campaign in 2008 when you ran for president. As a Navy veteran who had actually met you in the past while living in Arizona I thought you were a really great guy and hero. I regret that to this day. You are an ugly, sniveling, petty, jealous child and I pray to God that you do not make it to the end of your term before you are impeached or worse. You are a f'ing traitor and if you think what you're doing is going to earn you any praise from any Republican... you are more insane than we believed you to be. If I see you in the future... instead of saluting you... I would spit in your face.

Yeah McCain might have had some vestigial principles at some point in his career but he had them surgically removed after losing the 2000 primaries and he was 100% shitlord by 2008. If he actually supports impeaching Trump it's entirely for craven and self-serving reasons.

Unironically saving this for future reference as a perfect demonstration of a high-compaction Narrativist demanding a compaction cycle in reaction to extreme Narrative dysphoria. "Purge those who associate in any way with the Enemy for they too are also tainted" is the underlying psychological impulse a high-compaction Narrativist is feeling in this situation. This is also a demonstration of how inner Narrative evolution results in a deepening embrace of Bypass logic.

(Prepare for a barrage of vocabulary) In this case the Bypass of Purity is overtaking this individuals thinking on a steadily deeper level as his inner narrative continues to steadily evolve in reaction to so many compaction cycles- which are in turn being caused by the extreme Narrative dysphoria that Donald Trumps inherently chaotic actions are creating. In general the more Narrative evolution that occurs the more prominent and pronounced the sub-conscious embrace of Bypass logic becomes; which in turn results in the sort of flawed thinking being demonstrated by the above quote. "Purge the Enemy" hasn't worked, so now it is evolving into ""Purge those who even associate with the Enemy on any friendly terms".
