    The ignorant, less intelligent & gullible
    sort of, maybe, kind of,
    have excuses.

    The people backing NPD Trump strictly for political power concern me the most.

    ‘A Nonstop Gunfight’: Ex-Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly Warns Against ‘Chaotic’ Plans to Consolidate Power in Second Term

    Well, no shit... :rolleyes:
    I'm seeing articles saying that T and his allies are planning on expanding presidential power.
    So trying to take over the country is expanding???

    He will do anything and everything to do what he wants, when he wants and have everything cater to HIM.
    It's NOT like we have not had any warning.
    He's done it before...he'll do it again, on steroids.
    It's been obvious what he's done.

    If the people are STUPID enough to vote him in again...
    We'll deserve to lose our country.
    Hell, we may even deserve to get nuked, since he may decide to use that BOMB power.

    This would be like putting your crazy crack addicted uncle back into the house...and putting him in charge.
    When he stole you blind last time, created havoc and drama, damaged much of the furniture
    and refused to leave when you asked...getting his gang of buddies to keep him in there. :mad:

    It amazes me...
    That we're still tip-toeing around, still giving him space.
    That they're lingering on doing something about him.
    That many voters still support him.

    Anyone else, they'd be in prison.
    Federal charges galore...
    and the allies and supporters would throw him under the bus.

    But still...
    It's insane that we're allowing this to occur...or even get it closer and moving forward.

    We seriously need PAC reform, namely the money absolutely must be spent on politics.

    Any money raised for legal fees that do not very clearly qualify as related to the political position held should be treated as income.

    Trump leadership PAC spends more than $40 million on legal fees amid indictments | CNN Politics

    That $40M -- let's see that written out,
    $40,000,000.00 --
    is only for the first six months of 2023.

    How much money,
    from all sources,
    has been spent on
    NPD Trump's legal issues
    since 2016?

    NPD Trump claimed to have a business empire worth "billions, & billions." Oddly, or maybe not, I haven't heard him bragging about his wealth recently.

    T doesn't spend his own money on this...he's been fully using donations through PACs
    $60 Million Refund Request Shows Financial Pressure on Trump From Legal Fees

    And even they are running out of $$$, asking for money back.
    All the dups that pay into this crap...but they aren't complaining that he's using it for his legal

    Frankly, I hope it becomes a black hole and sucks all the cash from other GOP races.
    Hope it weakens them that it has impact at all levels for their party.
    It's the only way to learn...and lose. :mad:

    The report is supposed to be filed today; I'm guessing late in the day to avoid being in "the evening news."

    I wonder how many top level GOP decision makers are questioning (silently, or behind closed doors) continuing to support NPD Trump?

    Late edit: Many reports indicate NPD Trump frequently avoids spending his own money...in business ventures, legal cases, etc.

    Politicians live in glass houses. Anything they do to close loopholes could come to bite them should they need those loopholes.

    Paying for the attorney(s) representing the people testifying against you sounds like (at minimum a very clear possibility of) witness tampering.

    Edit: That article is very eye-opening.

    Gee, Wally, I sued somebody and now they want my records to prove their side of the case. Providing those records could incriminate me other trials where I'm the defendant. Gosh, this is getting more complicated than coming up with a replacement for Obamacare My attorneys are telling me they warned me about this. Can I sue them for not warning me enough?

    Opinion | Down the Rabbit Hole Into Donald Trump’s Brain

    Ok, I wanna get this across to many folks heads...He's NOT just SAYING it!
    He WILL do it. He DOES it. He HAS done it.
    It's not just words to ignore or chuckle at or say. "that's just him"

    He's just doesn't say braggingly. "grab them by the pussy". He's DONE it!!!
    Just lost a case on it too.

    He's not just saying he didn't lose. He TRIED to take over the country!!!

    If he threatens in his media "getting those" who witness against him...he WILL do it! (or get his allies or supporters to do it...even just by instigating it, like the riot)

    I don't understand how people can keep writing it off or sweeping under the rug.
    When he DOES do it.

    It's like ignoring when Scarface threatens people. Except T doesn't use bullets (or death..yet)
    Just because he doesn't look like a thug, doesn't mean he's not dangerous.

    Don't judge a book by it's cover.
    You can lose a country that way.

    Time to start taking him serious...and DOING something FAST.

    NPD Trump demands total loyalty; 97% isn't enough.

    He is a vindictive bastard.

    If re-elected he would spend his entire time/term trying to get revenge. Nothing else would matter.

    NPD Trump is too much of p***y to directly order a hit on anyone (the cancelled strike on Iran proved this). But he would put layers between himself and the actual act.

    His re-election would be disaster for this country. The harmful things he do out of spite could be devastating.

    Grand jury in Trump election case hands down indictments

    It's official now, 10 indictments.
    And it could easily expand.

    Trump’s Fourth Indictment: Five Ways Georgia May Be Different

    I hope it overwhelms and smothers the dumb shmuck.
    He won't give up, he go down kicking and screaming.
    But hopefully he cracks.
    And makes some stupid mistakes.

    And hopefully, the allies and supporters start to run away...or at least fade off from him.
