Then why doesn't he establish a legal defense fund?

Would that not be an even more fabulous fete of this marketing genius that has so inspired you?

I have been called a Putin stooge for my non-interventionist stance in Ukraine.

Not backing Trump though.

That 42 million that Trump is using for his legal fees (money raised from largely working-class and middle-class people because his large donors won't back him anymore) can't go to the J6 defendants. Trump is only going to use thos efunbacks for his cronies that could flip on him.

The J6 prisoners could rot for all Trump cares

Thanks Friend. I take no joy in this, I assure you. I give the Good Lord all the credit for my perseverance, as I feel we’ve reached the point where we either stand up for His principles, or we stand up for nothing.

And I just don’t see many of those principles in Trump, any more, but I do see many of them in DeSantis. I first started seeing things this way when comparing the tweets between the two on Easter, and Christmas, the last couple of years, which were starkly different, especially with regard to their faith.

Thankfully, I haven’t gotten any hate mail. I have however gotten a few messages from those thanking me for being willing to stick my neck out, and take the bullets, for what many of us are feeling. I appreciate you being here in the arena with me, and I think more are joining. Enough is enough.

So thanks a lot, and keep up the good work yourself! This battle may actually be even bigger than it appears, if that’s possible.

If you go on Twitter, Trump is getting roast by a number of Republicans, the allegations of RINO, Never Trumpers will be made but the point is, Trump is raising money from a lot of small donors who think they are helping him get elected POTUS again, not fund his legal defense and as you say, his cronies that could roll over on him.

Even if there is some legal reason why Trump can’t pay the legal bills of the people still in prison over 1/6, this will not look good to have him paying his on legal bills with money from the same type of people who are still in prison.

On the FR mail thing, one guy I had to finally tell him to stop, if you want to insult, attack or do anything else, don’t use FR mail, post on the public forum for everyone to see, I’m fair game, let’s keep it public.

One of the points I’ve been trying to make recently is, if we can’t hold our own leaders accountable, how can we expect anyone else to hold their own accountable.

I have no idea if Trump broke any laws, if he did, prosecute him, at the same time, prosecute Biden and his family for any laws they broke, I can’t stand this my guy is terrible but he’s better than your terrible guy.

The other realization I’ve come to over the last year or two, is all this debating and fighting over the issues may not really matter.

We have a spiritual problem in America and no political process or person is going to reverse that and until that starts to change who is in power may not matter.

I’m not talking about everyone has to become a born again Christian, but a basic sense of right and wrong is what we need.

We have a society where people are placing themselves over God, they believe they can change their sex at any time, they can kill a baby at any time, and they can change the climate. At some point, there will be a reckoning on all these issues and it will be very, very bad if we don’t reverse course.

Yes Sir. My final straw on Trump was the “gay gala” he held at Mar-a-Lago on the very day that Biden signed the new gay marriage bill into law. I was upset at first, but then I was astounded when I did some more research.

I found out Trump actually campaigned against gay marriage in 2016, but then flipped his stance on it immediately after being elected. Also found some quotes of him saying his favorite song is YMCA which he refers to as “the gay national anthem.” Then the stuff about him breaking the glass ceiling on allowing men to compete in the Miss Universe pageant while he owned it way back when.

I felt the Holy Spirit come over me, learning all that info, pretty close to all at once. I fully crossed the rubicon from being a Trump supporter, to wanting someone else. Trump has such a spell over people it may take something like that to snap them out of it, too, so I post that kind of info a lot here. It’s important to know. Even if they want to keep supporting Trump, it shouldn’t be unconditional love, because that just encourages his bad behavior, and the party moving to the left, both of which need to be stopped.

If you are a non-interventionist your best bet is Trump. The reason why the globalist borg despises him (and his supporters) so much is because he wants to lessen U.S. intervention in everybody else’s business. The globalist borg wants our military splayed out across the planet monkeying in everybody else’s business.

I think he has that, but it doesn’t matter. People know what they’re giving to.

But to pretend that this is a kind of scam is ridiculous. Virtually any Trump supporters are happy to let his campaign use the money for whatever is needed, and this is extremely effective as a double edged sword-—protecting Trump and advertising the evils of the Department of INJustice.

Disney did exactly what Trump did as a businessman: contributed to both sides hoping to curry favor no matter who won.

No one can say that. One thing that would make clarify how donor money is designated would be to establish a separate Legal Defense Fund.

It's perfectly legal, and more importantly, it's the ethical thing to do.

It's not as though Trump has not earmarked fundraising for litigation expenses previously. He raised $250 million for "Stop the Steal."

Believe me, talk to any Trump supporter who has given. They know what they area giving to and are THRILLED.

Another DeSoros DeStraction. Ain’t working.

I continue to predict DeSoros will be out before Christmas, the rest, after Iowa unless they are brain-dead skidwhistler scabventilators who are getting money for nefarious purposes.

"If Trump hasn't even dared to mention the words "gain of function" by now, he's not about to."

Has he been asked about it? Has any of the media asked him about it? If Trump is so guilty as you claim, why hasn't the left-wing media attacked him over it, and used it against him in his current campaign? Has Rand Paul, who is one of the most out-spoken politicians on Fauci, and gain of function included Trump in any of his efforts? Maybe you should contact Rand Paul and get his take on your assertions about Trump and gain of function. Paul has clearly labeled Fauci a liar in regards to gain of function, so if Trump is as guilty as Fauci, I assume Senator Paul would have the balls to link the two together. He's the only one in Congress who has addressed any of the issues related to Covid. Write him a letter voicing your concerns, and ask him why he hasn't gone after Trump too.

I can hardly blame any Republican candidate for not attending the Brett Baier-run debates.What is actually accomplished with those debates, when candidates are given such a short time to actually reveal the plans and policies they would put in place if elected? If they don't make that clear on the campaign trail, then 10 minutes on a stage isn't going to do it for them. And the RNC requiring people to take an oath of loyalty in order to participate in the debates, is reminiscent of Hitler requiring every soldier to take an oath of loyalty to him, not to the country they were fighting, and dying for. It's BS, and the majority of the people running, made it very clear they didn't agree with the oath being forced down their throats. It wasn't just Trump.

You’re going to hide behind the press? LOL, yes, you did. C’mon Trump. Say the words. Gain. Of. Function. Not THAT hard, is it? Well, must be.

Disney donated to Clinton and Biden the same way they did to Trump, where they were top 5 in both his elections? Not according to that same site. They’re not even listed.

Good to know.

Now how about knowing this: to a billionaire who doesn’t need the money the way Yertle or Ru Paul or DeSoros does, donations do NOT buy influence.

The same cannot be said of DeSoros.

But, irrelevant. DeSoros will be flushed by December.

"You’re going to hide behind the press?

You totally disregarded my extended comment about Rand Paul, and the fact that you should try to contact him to get answers to your questions. There's a reason for that. It tells me all you want to do is offer article links, and don't want to take any steps to possibly get answers to your assertions. Rand Paul is the one person who might be able to offer you helpful information, but you don't seem to want to do that, because you might not get the answers you're looking for. You just want to be able to whine about it here, without trying to pursue your concerns outside this forum. If you blame Donald Trump for gain of function, then you should be blaming Rand Paul too for not holding him as accountable as Fauci. Why should anybody take you seriously?

Did you see this video of Trump mentioning DeSantis twenty seven (27) times yesterday at his rally? Pretty crazy, huh, for a guy he says is finished.

https://twitter.com/DeSantisWarRoom/status/1685448199824199680

You should check it out, it’s pretty funny. Even calls him an SOB at one point. Gotta talk at the level of his followers, I suppose.
