Top GOP Donor Says He Wouldn't Back A Trump 2024 Run: Time To 'Move On' excerpt: "A top GOP donor said Monday he wouldn’t back Donald Trump if he ran for president again in 2024. “I think it’s time for America to move on,” hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin said during an interview with Bloomberg’s Erik Schatzker at the Economic Club of Chicago. Griffin spent more than $60 million to boost conservatives in the 2020 elections, placing him among the top five political donors in the election cycle, though he has never directly supported Trump’s campaigns, a point he noted during Monday’s discussion. “The four years under President Trump were so pointlessly divisive it was not constructive for our country,” he said."
Melania Trump's Reported Nickname from Secret Service Says A Lot About Her Time at the White House According to former East Wing communications director and one-time White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, the former First Lady was given the nickname “Rapunzel” by the secret service because she would hardly leave “her tower, aka the White House residence,” As for how Melania did spend her time in the ivory walls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for those four years of Donald Trump’s single term as president, she was mostly family-oriented. And she was working on a project of her own.
Group asks DC court panel to investigate DOJ official who peddled false Trump election claims excerpt: "A group of legal heavyweights on Tuesday asked the disciplinary panel of the D.C. Court of Appeals to investigate a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official who allegedly sought to use his official position in the federal government to overturn former President Trump’s election defeat. In a 15-page ethics complaint, the group said former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark should face disciplinary action over his alleged attempt in late December to subvert the 2020 election result in part by proposing that he and two other top DOJ officials send letters to state leaders, including those in Georgia, making the unfounded claim that the department “identified concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states.” A central allegation in the complaint is that Clark’s plan amounted to an attempt to interfere with the “administration of justice” by seeking to derail Congress’ Jan. 6 certification of Biden’s win. Such tampering is prohibited by the District’s ethics rules for lawyers."
Trump launches Make America Great Again, Again. Trump Unveils New Super PAC And Twitter Users Can't Stop Howling At The Name excerpt: "Domald Trump announced a new super PAC on Monday ― and his critics couldn’t get over the name: “Make America Great Again, Again.” The awkward moniker has been used before by Trump’s allies, including former Vice President Mike Pence, who tested it out at the Republican National Convention in 2020 to similar confusion on social media at the time."
Criminal inquiry into Trump’s Georgia election interference gathers steam excerpt: "Boasting extensive documentation from the public record, the report notes that Trump’s broad effort to nullify the outcome in Georgia included personal contacts with the governor, the state attorney general and the secretary of state’s chief investigator. “Trump engaged in a pattern of repeated personal communications aimed at altering the vote count and making himself the winner in Georgia,” Donald Ayer, one of several authors of the Brookings report and a former deputy attorney general in the George HW Bush administration, said in an interview. “He did so in the absence of any even arguable evidence of voting or counting irregularities. Unless there are other presently unknown facts that would explain it, this conduct appears to satisfy the requirements of a number of Georgia criminal statutes.” To further the Georgia inquiry, Willis reportedly has in recent weeks turned to the House select committee looking into the 6 January attack on the Capitol to share documents and information that could assist her work."
Brown's term 'addiction to power' describes Trump, Brown, and the other rioters trying to overthrow the election. Brown seems to think that the Capitol police should have let him and the other rioters into the Capitol and served them milk and cookies.
Pence is still trying to spin the insurrection at the Capitol when Trump tried to have an angry mob lynch him. The public will never forget the violence of Trump and his followers on that day. Mike Pence Tries To Spin Jan. 6 Insurrection, Gets Brutal Reminder | HuffPost
After shredding our constitution, rigging our elections, and trashing out the entire executive and judicial branches, a riot is too far for the insane assholes, because they just enough brains to recognize someone objects, and they will be punished!
Looks like Trump won't announce his 2024 candidacy until after the 2022 midterms. Hopefully by then his support base will be down to almost nothing, or he'll be convicted of something and unable to run. Report: Trump didn't announce for 2024 because aides told him he's a loser. (slate.com)
We should cut defense spending, tax the rich, and tax the multi national corporations which hide cash in other countries. Taxes on marijuana in Colorado have created a massive cash surplus for the government. Colorado now has a balanced budget and does fund social programs for the low income people.
I've given up on the rich ever being taxed unless they allow it. There are too many tax shelters out there, if not here then overseas. Ironically it's tax on marijuana, a plant long forbidden, that could save this country.
He sure can't delay the trial, but he sure can drag it out for another five or six years. All it takes is money and a gaggle of lawyers...
And if he's still around in five or six years he can "retire" to another country and drag out extradition until he dies. He's too rich for justice.

Trump wouldn't have lost so much of his own money if he had handled the coronavirus pandemic intelligently. Thanks partly to the pandemic, Donald Trump has dropped off the Forbes 400 list Scott Neuman October 5, 2021 12:53 PM ET Thanks partly to the pandemic, Donald Trump has dropped off the Forbes 400 list
The reason he backed away from announcing his 2024 candidacy is because the moment he does he's subject to campaign finance laws and regulations. Now he can spend all that money on anything he wants, why give up that grift
Then, again, I think of all the good he could do with just a smidge of his money....with his fat ass, you'd think he'd at least fund diabetes research.
