Well, of course. It would be hard to suicide him when he is surrounded by Secret Service.

No humor intended here, sardonic or otherwise.

More like a Pit Yorkie. Weak-spined and very happy to egg on the less effeminate men from well behind them.

You'd think that someone named Weissmann would find the Left abhorrent, but possibly the coward is just happy to do what is necessary to avoid being in the crosshairs, or maybe he aspires to be the Moshe Merin of his day.

To vastly oversimplify, Rome was defeated when the barbarians learned to attack the aqueducts.

Many of the Left's apparently irrational policies make sense if you view them from the perspective of either pushing us towards CW2 or preparing to win it.


The bigger concern in a civil war is the outside help/foreign intervention the left will enlist. Countries will try to go to both sides and get thier troops on the ground. The left may most likely allow it especially with China. They want our land so bad.

I ran into a friend of mine in the grocery store and spent a half hour or more standing in the aisles talking about this mess.

It's funny that he considers himself a conservative. It took me a while to ask him why he considers himself such, given his clearly leftist perspective and his answer was essentially that compared to his whacky family, his views are quite conservative.

In regards to the legitimacy of the trial and the validity of the verdict, he poised a rhetorical question: "Did he do it?"

Naturally, it was necessary to determine what he mean by "it". Whether it was the mysteriously vague secret crime which Trump was charged, or something else. It turns out that by "it" he meant everything in question. I pointed out to him that Daniels twice signed statement saying no sexual relations occurred, and that her so-called testimony was nothing more than salacious beatoff material for commies. Also, I pointed out that regardless of that, the payment to Daniels is not illegal. Beyond that, I didn't even attempt to explain.

It was clear that he has no understanding of the nature of the charges. I just let him ramble. I don't want to try to be right with my friends.

The value of the conversation, beyond the obvious of speaking face to face with a friend, was to gain perspective on how those outside of our circle and outside of the pundits who prattle online view these matters.

It seems that the intentionally confusing mish-mash served up by the prosecution has served its purpose by causing the Trump haters to not bother with trying to understand the matter and fall back on the comfort of confirmation bias.

As a funny note, I'll point out that this guy is one of only two people in my life who talks more than I. It's kinda nice to put it in neutral and listen to someone else go on at length.

Had a similar conversation on Friday with a liberal "friend".

Droning on about much the same "it" stuff, which is a tiresome exercise in mental masturbation.

I left her with the following task:
1. What was the felony committed? Can you name the statute?
2. If you can noodle out that the "felony" was a federal crime, why wasn't it prosecuted by the feds but instead ended up in a hostile state courtroom?

^^^ That's great Trump can put to good use the money for the campaign but I don't think money is going to fix the larger problem. A lot of people need to be removed from offices and positions of power. Money alone does not do that, voting is no longer a straight up done deal and besides many of the radical judges are not voted in but appointed so some other means of outside force of persuasion will be required.

I don't think that what we have been seeing represents a crafty, carefully orchestrated attack on Donald Trump. Rather, it represents desperation.

The contortions of their prosecution expose their end-of-the-rope effort to prevent Trump from uncovering their crimes and perversions. We don't know what Biden, the Clintons, the Obamas, and others have to hide, but they know. Their legal equivalent of a Hail Mary pass reveals just how dark it all must be.

I don't think they themselves know at this point what their next step will be. As Clarice Feldman points out, even if they sentence him to prison, there is a good chance the whole thing might go to the Supreme Court.

I was in Kathmandu during the Nepali revolution of 1990. As events unfolded, every Westerner I talked with had an opinion about what was going to happen next. They were almost always wrong. Life is full of surprises. The Nepals I talked with generally had one response "Haami hershau." "We'll see."

So, what happens next?

We'll see.

Not sure I'd jump off that bridge over her contribution, Mark Cuban is still a minority owner and head of operations for the mavs...

I browse some lefty areas online, and occasionally engage. Wrt the verdicts, these people think that it is beyond obvious that DJT engaged in "election interference" because he paid hush money to keep information from the voters.

When challenged, they insist tons of evidence was brought forth in the trial via witness testimony to prove it. They cannot be reasoned with by bringing up demonstrable facts in a civil conversation, reverting to emotional TDS outbursts.

These people are low information and probably of average intelligence at best in many cases. They believe ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN are objective and truthful.

They vote.

What's fantastic is that Mark Cuban is a known Trump hater, and now Miriam Adelson is the owner and creating this huge PAC for Trump.

Donald Trump campaign has raised over $200 MILLION in just THREE days since guilty felony verdict, son Eric Trump claims

By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, POLITICAL REPORTER IN WASHINGTON, D.C., FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 14:53 EDT, 2 June 2024 | UPDATED: 14:54 EDT, 2 June 2024

The Donald Trump campaign has raised a staggering $200 million since the former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday, his son Eric Trump said Sunday.

Eric, who is married to The Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, said she told him the figure was comprised of over $70 million in small donor fundraising in the three days since his father was found guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records.

'This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, what are we up to now?' Eric Trump told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo.

'And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollar, we're well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small dollar donations.'

The former president's son continued: 'If you add the large dollar donations to it, you're over $200 million.'

https://twitter.com/i/status/1797289223906627876



'And by the way, Maria 30 percent of those people have never been seen before by a political party.'

The numbers that Eric Trump cited appear to show that the support is not just coming from Republican voters.

The free flow of fundraising to the campaign indicates a groundswell of aid for the former president after his historic trial.

'I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off. They're coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe he's getting bamboozled by a system.'

On Friday, Eric Trump posted on his social media that the campaign had received $52.8 million in donations in the 24 hours since the hush money trial verdict was delivered.

A little over a day later that has ballooned to over $200 million, largely from the help of a single major donation.

Israeli-American Miriam Adelson, the wife of the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, has reportedly pledged $100 million to the Trump campaign in the days since his criminal conviction, according to The Forward, a Jewish outlet.

She and her late husband gave over $200 million to Republican causes in 2020 - and appears poised to dole out the dough again for 2024.

Her fortune is estimated to be nearly $30 billion in total.

She is the latest of a number of billionaires that have pledged to help the former president regain his grasp on power.

Last week, Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman similarly decided to make public his support of Trump.

The private equity behemoth said his decision to back the ex-president was in part motivated by the anti-semitism seen on college campuses in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.

'The dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency,' he told Axios in a statement.

'I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction.'

'In addition, I will be supporting Republican Senate candidates and other Republicans up and down the ticket,' his statement continued.

Schwarzman said his bid to back Trump in 2023 is a 'vote for change.'

The RNC and Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
