Griftology and GOP Three-Card Monte: Eyes on the Border While They Steal Your Healthcare.

--

Welcome to Griftology, the only discipline where you don’t need ethics, just connections, a camera crew, and a straight face. Here, we examine the sacred art of saying one thing, doing the opposite, and still getting invited to Davos.

From billionaires who hate “woke capitalism” but love government contracts, to politicians who claim poverty builds character, while dodging taxes on their third beach house, Griftology is your guide to decoding the hypocrisy that powers the American elite.

Let’s crack open the ledger and follow the money. Spoiler: It never trickles down.

The Art of the Con: Three Card Monte Credit: Do What Matters

Let’s cut the crap: The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t about “saving” taxpayers from freeloading immigrants. It’s about robbing hard-working, low-to-middle-income Americans of basic healthcare and pretending it’s a patriotic imperative.

Republicans love a scapegoat. They’ve invested decades identifying “welfare queens,” “dangerous illegals,” and “lazy parasites, basically anyone living outside the bubble of yacht clubs and dark money fundraisers. But their latest scam? Telling American taxpayers that the Medicaid cuts in their bill are about undocumented immigrants supposedly abusing the system.
