Do you desire to start slinging slurs at each other counselor? I have enjoyed seeing less of you since I’m a Patreon Subscriber.
Unsurprisingly, your opinion of my posts means absolutely nothing to me whatsoever.
Is this what you want? So far I’ve refrained. Guess you’re bored and need to demean someone in order to feel superior. Sad
Well....that answers my glue sniffing question. Thanks
You responded. If my opinion didn’t matter to you why bother responding? I know good and well it’s not out of courtesy.

So I have a theory. Nikki Haley is only keeping her campaign going on the chance Trump gets convicted before November and if the RNC decides to then pull him from the ticket, she would be the only other active campaign going into the convention.
As is there's no chance she wins the GOP nomination unless something really crazy happens. That said, I'm a big fan of her speaking honestly-ish about how bad some of his comments are.

She still said she would pardon him. That’s all I need to know.
I don't think the GOP actually exists anymore

I think that's to get his base to turn out in support of her if she's on the ballot, instead of staying home.
But I refuse to support anyone that supports him.

Trump's Abortion Plan Leak Inflamed His Campaign and Energized Democrats

He is already setting up the 2024 Fraud Claims. IF he loses he is going to claim every single state that had Mail in Voted that their elections were fake and compromised .....23 States allow Mail In Voting. He is sowing the seeds now so he will make this his basis to claim the election of rigged if he loses ANY of those 23 states.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham challenged this assertion by reminding Trump of his success in certain states with mail-in voting.
"There's mail-in voting in Florida and you won huge," she reminded him.
Trump acknowledged this fact but maintained that the presence of mail-in voting increases the likelihood of fraud.
"If you have [mail-in voting], you're going to have fraud," Trump continued, prompting Ingraham to restate, "But you won."
Ignoring Ingraham's comments, Trump said, "When you go into a voting place, like you go into one in a properly run state, they look at you, you give voter ID, you give all sorts of identification. I mean, it would be very hard to cheat."
As Trump continued to rant about mail-in voting, Ingraham interrupted, "Right, but what are you going to do about it?"
"The way you win is by swamping them," he explained, indicating his approach to winning elections by mobilizing supporters to vote in large numbers. Trump cited his performance in previous elections to support his argument.
Despite Ingraham's attempts to steer the discussion towards other topics, Trump just kept reiterating his views on mail-in voting.
Clips of Trump's Fox News Town Hall have made the rounds on X, formerly known as Twitter, where several users criticized the former president for his hardened stance on mail-in votes, claiming he has a "one-note campaign."
One user shared Ingraham's back and forth with Trump in a post that reads, "Trump continues to emphatically tell GOP voters to reject mail-in voting... There will be mail-in voting for the 2024 election... All Trump is accomplishing is sabotaging down-ballot Republicans, and no one in the party has the guts to call him out."
Another X user commented, "Trump is a LIAR and everyone knows it. He'll disregard the results no matter what happens. Trump could win every state in the country and he'd STILL say that elections are rigged cuz he could've won even bigger."
A third person wrote, "I'm not saying he’s doing it on purpose, but if I wanted to sabotage Republican down-ballot performance, I wouldn’t do anything different."

She is candidate and named by Trump as who he wants to run the RNC
Lara Trump, former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law whom he endorsed as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, said Wednesday that she believes Republican voters are interested in the RNC funding Trump’s legal bills.
After speaking at the former president’s South Carolina campaign headquarters Wednesday evening, Lara Trump was asked by NBC News if she thinks the RNC paying for his legal bills is something that would be of interest to Republican voters.
“Absolutely. That’s why you’ve seen a GoFundMe get started,” she said in remarks to a gaggle of reporters, referring to a GoFundMe page set up by Trump’s supporters in response to his multiple legal battles. “That’s why people are furious right now and they see the attacks against him. They feel like it’s an attack, not just on Donald Trump, but on this country … So I think that is a big interest to people. Absolutely.”
Lara Trump also gave her pitch on why she should be elected as co-chair of the RNC in response to a question by NBC News.
“I worked with the RNC whenever I was you know, part of the Trump campaign from 2016 all the way through 2020,” she said. “So, I mean, I think as far as campaigns go, I have a lot of experience. I’m sure there’s a lot I still need to learn about.”
The RNC and the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The former president last week endorsed Michael Whatley to be the next head of the Republican National Committee and said he supports his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, for co-chair. His endorsement comes amid reports that RNC chair Ronna McDaniel could step down after South Carolina’s GOP primary on Saturday. Trump has also said that it's time for McDaniel to leave her post and that he would recommend changes at the RNC after the South Carolina primary on Saturday.
Whatley, the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party and general counsel for the RNC, previously served on the Trump-Pence campaign and transition team.
Lara Trump, who is married to the former president’s son Eric Trump, had assisted her father-in-law’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns and appeared on Fox News as an on-air contributor.
In an interview with Newsmax last week, Lara Trump said that if she is elected to serve as co-chair of the RNC, “every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC — that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country.
She reiterated that sentiment to reporters earlier Wednesday afternoon at a campaign event in Beaufort, South Carolina.
“Well, I said every penny will go to making sure Donald Trump will be the 47th president, to ensuring that we have great candidates to expand our lead in the House and to take back the Senate,” she said.
Pressed again at the afternoon event about whether the RNC will help Trump pay his legal bills, Lara Trump declined to weigh in.
“I actually don’t know where they stand on that,” she said. “Obviously, I’m not officially with the RNC. So I’d have to get back to you.”
Asked whether she would support the RNC helping her father-in-law support his legal bills, Lara Trump said she thinks his “legal bills have already been covered at this point.”
“And I think that you’ve already seen how upset the people of this country are — so much so that they started a GoFundMe page for my father in law, because they can see just how egregious and outrageous all of this is that he has to deal with,” she said. “So I think he’s already got that covered.”
Campaign finance records show President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has been outraising Trump’s as the former president’s legal woes drain his campaign funds, with the main super PAC supporting Trump’s campaign, MAGA Inc., having spent more than it raised in the last six months of 2023.

Here Judge Napolitano says New York's huge judgment for its suit against Trump was unjust and more like government theft. Trump did not cheat his bank; the bank wasn't complaining. The large size of Trump's loan did not deny small businesses anything, because the bank only makes loans to large customers. That the bank was German, rather than based in New York also didn't make much sense to sue over. Good to them both in the video for not caring much for Trump, otherwise.
Trump pledges to defend Christianity against the left, which he says wants 'to tear down crosses'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump promised to use a second term in the White House to defend Christian values and even suggested he'd shield the faith's central iconography, warning a convention of religious broadcasters on Thursday night that the left wants “to tear down crosses.”
“Remember, every communist regime throughout history has tried to stamp out the churches, just like every fascist regime has tried to co-opt them and control them. And, in America, the radical left is trying to do both," Trump told hundreds of cheering attendees at the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville.
“They want to tear down crosses where they can, and cover them up with social justice flags,” Trump added. “But no one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you.”
Pledging protections for the symbol of Christianity recalled the former president recently telling the National Rifle Association, "No one will lay a finger on your firearms.” It also comes as leading conservatives have increasingly called on the Trump to openly build his second term around Christian values, should he win.
Trump is favored in a Republican primary where the once crowded field has dwindled to just him and his former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley. The Christian media gathering, where sponsors distributed free red and white baseball caps emblazoned with “Make America Pray Again,” was exceedingly friendly territory for the former president, whose address often felt more like a rally than a staid convention speech.
“The left is trying to shame Christians," Trump said. "They’re trying to shame us. I’m a very proud Christian.”
Trump brought the crowd to its feet repeatedly and frequently championed his record on abortion, including appointing three conservative Supreme Court justices who helped overturn the Roe v. Wade decision. But he notably didn't mention the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that has prompted providers there to pause in vitro fertilization after justices ruled that frozen embryos could be considered children under state law.
President Joe Biden 's reelection campaign released a blank statement on the matter late Thursday, ironically calling attention to Trump's lack of reaction on the "Alabama IVF ruling he is responsible for.”
Instead, Trump used his speech to boast that he had used his first term to do “more to uphold religious freedom than any administration in history.”
“The enthusiasm for this election coming up in November is far greater than it was in 2016 or 2020," he said. "Far greater, it’s not even a contest.”
Tennessee holds its primary on Super Tuesday, March 5, when many states around the country vote and could move Trump to the cusp of claiming the Republican nomination.
Some religious leaders were initially hesitant to get behind multi-divorcee Trump when he first ran for president in 2016, but now they are among his mostly solidly loyal “Make America Great Again” base.
That's despite a personal history that has only gotten more checkered in recent years, including Trump being indicted in New York in connection with hush money payments made to a porn actress in an attempt to suppress an extramarital affair.
“When he came onto the scene, people were skeptical,” said Troy Miller, president and CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters. “But I think, as they’ve learned more and listened to Donald Trump speak, the one thing I hear all the time from people ... is that they really feel like Donald Trump understands them and that’s the biggest connection that people make is, ‘This is a guy in politics who gets us, who understands us, who doesn’t talk like he’s an elitist and talk down to us.’”
