    He is going to raise a shit load of money, get ready because now he is a martyr to rally against the corrupt criminal Biden family and his overlord Barillary Obinton. I hope I am wrong but this timeline is clown shit so…

    Poor people are giving their last dollar to a criminal billionaire so he can rid the government of the people who are making them poor.

    This is deeply saddening.

      But he wouldn’t rid the government of the people making them poor, unless you mean that he’d replace them with people making them even poorer.

          Is that a phrase they use ? there’s an anti-establishment ring to it, I suppose that’s the gist. (I am not in the US, lacking a bit of context)

    I can’t think of a single court case Trump has actually won in court in my life. Even in the USFL case he won , he lost, because the league went under and they won $1. Outside of that it’s a lot of just failure and I just don’t get what people see I’m this guy.

      Roy Cohn is a fascinating figure in American politics. He helped send Ethel Rosenberg to the gas chamber as a Soviet spy, and assisted Joe McCarthy’s witch hunts. He was one of the most expensive and hated lawyers in New York City, and he was Donald Trump’s mentor. Cohn would always attack, because he felt that people would eventually just settle rather than keep the fight going.

      Cohn was also a closeted gay man; when he was diagnosed with AIDS Donald Trump vanished from his life.

    The Republican’s campaign said it raised $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in less than seven hours following the historic verdict Thursday afternoon that convicted the former president of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

    Uh, does that sound real? 34 counts and $34 million? This number is just self-reported, so it could be completely made up. Knowing the trump campaign it probably is.

    I’ll have to check the leaderboards but this might be the most money ever raised by a convicted president.

    …

    Yep! Number one!

    My 101 yo Grandmother made a great statement about this:

    What we’re seeing today with Trump is akin to the whole Jimmy Hoffa drama of my generation.

    Organized crime isn’t new and always ends with the same slap on the wrist outcome. It’s older than me.
