^^^ 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.

Per Winston Churchill:

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.

her name sounded familiar, but i couldn't place her

she is the widow of Sheldon Adelson

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.'

'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.

^^^ Wouldn't expect anything less.

It's something that can be done, the left has worked for decades to get us into this position, they played the long game. Voting for the right person(s) is important, from POTUS to School District Chairpersons.

Trump is the tip of the movement, the important thing is to help with with voting down the block for proper candidates. It starts in the primaries where we need to knock out the old guard that doesn't value the same things, local elections, school boards, once you keep power out of the hands of the left, then you can make changes at the appointed and hired level to weed out the problems.

It will never be 100% but it has to start, and it's going to be difficult but we need the same grass roots voters to help turn the house and senate when they vote for Trump, for all 4 years to get changed implemented via legislation, not EO's.

I liked Dr Gingrich's comment that when Abraham Lincoln became president, he fired 75% of all of the federal employees and put in their places people that he could trust

Short of doing that, its not just voting, its getting rid of the entrenched bureaucracy and their elites

if you haven't watched the presentation that he made at Hillsdale, I suggest you do - it perfectly describes whats going on and how it began

One step at a time, I can guarantee that if don't deliver the house the left will pull some stund immediately, they'll probably try and impeach him for something in order to slow his work and hire/fire process down. We need the house if for nothing but to allow the man to go to work vs fighting fires.

Votes first, clean house second, which by second I mean in the first few days..

Trump’s Appeal Hearing to Disqualify Fani Willis Set for October, Pushing Lawfare RICO Trial PAST 2024 Election

quote:

The Georgia Court of Appeals has tentatively scheduled oral arguments on former President Donald Trump’s appeal of the Fani Willis disqualification ruling for October, making it almost certain that Trump will not see trial in his Georgia election interference case before the 2024 election.

The date for oral arguments on the issue is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 4, according to a docket notice that was sent to defense counsel in the case.

“A calendar will be sent to counsel of record confirming the exact date of oral argument,” the notice says.

The judge in the case, Scott McAfee, has previously vowed to keep the case moving forward while the issue is on appeal.

ABC News contributor and former Georgia prosecutor Chris Timmons said the October hearing date means it is all but certain that Trump won’t go to trial before the 2024 election.

Para, I must have been asleep at the switch.
