In The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again by Todd Starnes he detailed how the self pitying homosexuals faced a nation with outright bans or other bars against same sex unions. One: 2011 New York Gov.Andrew Cuomo signs a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, making the Empire State the sixth in the nation to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed.
Meaning not so in 44 states.

Then in 2015 SCOTUS broke the will of the states by its decision.

Somehow, as Todd Starnes wrote, specifically targeted bakers and others had lawyers presenting them with threats arranged by “victims” of “discrimination” for refusing same sex wedding cakes. Others were sued for refusing desecrations of Christ and glorifications of Satan.

The lawyers knew the fines again and again from pre-arranged gays would financially destroy the bakeries, when added to defense lawyer fees and court costs in the losses.

The day before the SCOTUS decision, the phony crocodile tears of the George Takei types were for “we only want to be left alone to have our love together” and “as a couple we add to the love in this world.”
Phooey.

Isn’t he a multibillionaire?

Meanwhile, how many 1/6 supporters of Trump are still in prison tonight going on 3 years now, they are regular people who can’t afford lawyers or have been financially ruined by this whole charade.

No one is sending them any cash to help out in their legal defense. Most people except for their families have forgotten they even exist.

And what do *YOU* propose to do about it?

My thinking is that so long as the corrupt, evil, Bitch-den regime stays in power, there is no help for them.

The *ONLY* thing that can remedy this evil is putting Trump back into power.

And I say "Trump", because he *IS* going to be the nominee, and he has the right vengeful attitude that we as a nation are going to need when he starts chopping heads in the deep state corruption organizations.

When Trump wins, they probably all get pardons, and hopefully everyone involved in putting them in prison goes to jail.

Of course I think that if it looks like Trump is going to win again, they will kill him this time. They will never let him take back power and enact vengeance on them for stealing the 2020 election.

That is why they are trying so desperately to put him in prison on bullsh*t trumped up charges. They are terrified of him.

I was going to say, a simple google search will show you the story of Trump’s Legal Fees being paid for by people donating to his campaign is all over the place, basically every news outlet has the same basic story.

Coordinated. It's what the media-lie machine does.

Campaign donations are spent on lawyers rather than on the political campaign.

Lawfare is not justice. Lawfare is underhanded Deep State politics.

Would Trump be the target of underhanded Deep State lawfare were he not running for office?

I don't expect an honest answer from a sleazy weasel like you, so don't bother.

I remember they forced Sarah Palin to refund her legal fund donation. From the way back machine, https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2558574/posts
Lawfare is what democrats do.

i said it before, but i’ll say it again:

Massive fascist lawfare attacks against Trump by the leftist fasicst Deep State Democrats are the main weapons they are using against Trump because they are unable to politically justify to the voting public that their total warfare against our way of life is what the voting public wants and wants more of ...

NONE of these lawfare attacks would have been levied if Trump wasn’t the GOP front runner and wasn’t also such a major threat to the Deep State, both in terms of their agenda as well as a legal reckoning likely to put many of the Deep Staters in prison ...

It is therefore unquestionably legitimate that those attacks be countered with campaign funds ...

No doubt all of anti-MAGA RINOs and pro-leftist-fascists, would be perfectly delighted if Trump had to spend only his personal funds to fend off the illegal fascist political lawfare attack that have resulted solely from his powerful oppositional leadership against the the Deep State fascists ...

No name for ‘the political action committee’ that is requesting the refund while giving the name for the defense fund is shady and makes the story a talking point for nevertrumpers and the left...

There are two narratives and talking points that have been recently sent out to the democrats and GOP never-Trumpers. One is that Trump is only running in 2024 to stay out of jail. You can see those comments made almost word for word in comments at other sites.

The other is that donations to Trump and his PACs are going to pay attorney’s fees. I’ve see articles at almost every leftist site with the same “revelation”. Most Trump supports I know are aware of and support such a use for their donations. We are aware that they are trying to destroy Trump by law-fare. And, we are royally pissed at what they are doing.

They have also now moved to the “the cover-up is worse than the crime” mantra so they can constantly compare it to Watergate. That is also an obvious ploy.

It’s much the same as the articles stating that Trump was un-electable because he is so “divisive” that were at every site a few months ago. The left and their never-Trumper GOP buddies work hard to make Trump “divisive” and then have the media publish those articles to try to take away his support. They tried to run with the “Trump is running for revenge” slant a few weeks ago and that didn’t work, because his supports said “Hell yeah!”, so now they are trying something new.

As Rush used to say, “Trust Me On This”!

Ballots are impervious to political campaigns.
