He’s not being targeted, he willfully did everything he’s been indicted for, and he needs to be held accountable for ALL of it. Who is the dictator right now? Don’t say President Biden, because that’s simply not true. If that’s your argument- please provide evidence.

Longtime Trump employee: Mar-a-Lago culture would have led many to commit crimes excerpt: "His own view of the Palm Beach club began to change after Trump won the 2016 presidential election and new members joined the club, who appeared interested only in what access they could glean from the new president. There was one foreign billionaire “who would only go when he was there,” Butler recalled. “It became very transactional,” he said. “You see the same people here, coming to kiss the ring every day.” After leaving his job at the club in November 2022, Butler said it wasn’t long before he heard from Trump directly. “It was the day after Thanksgiving,” he said, “and he wanted to know why I left.” Trump said Butler could come back if he ever wanted. The call didn’t strike Butler as unusual at the time, but he now believes the former president may have been trying to show him the loyalty Trump himself expects of those around him. “Now, it all feels totally different,” Butler said.

Pete Sessions (R-TX) for doing the same.
Ideas for Trump to raise bond money. Rich-guy Donald Trump can't find money for bond? How about a MAGA bake sale?
Most are back on the Trump train, even Mitch McConnell. Pence is an exception. He says he's not endorsing Trump in 2024. This state senator eviscerated Trump's voter fraud claims. Now, he's back on the Trump train. excerpt: "Furthermore, McBroom, who said he didn’t have any discussions with the Trump campaign ahead of his endorsement, tried to explain why he and other Republicans who were critical in one way or another of Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election are now firmly back on board with his candidacy. “Nothing brings people together like winning,” McBroom said, adding: “And we want to win. And we’re supporting our ticket.” McBroom, whose state Senate district spans much of the Upper Peninsula, is hardly alone in that line of thinking. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.; and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp are among a group of Republicans who spoke out against Trump either for his effort to overturn the election or for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — and drew Trump’s sustained ire — who are now supporting his White House run."

This is an outrage.”"

White evangelical Protestants (14%) are less likely than the other religious groups in this analysis to express a positive view of the current president.

White evangelical Protestants (67%) are the most likely to hold favorable views of Trump, while far fewer Black Protestants (17%) and Jews (21%) take this stance.

https://www.npr.org/2024/03/19/1239524037/heres-what-happens-if-trump-cant-pay-his-454-million-bond excerpt: "News organizations have estimated that Trump actually has about $300 million in liquid assets --- but he already had to set aside $100 million or so to put up a bond to pay the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll civil case. The rest of his money is largely tied up in buildings and golf courses, and while he could sell a property, that doesn't happen right away. Trump said Tuesday that would be a "fire sale," though he said many times during the trial he could always find a buyer to pay top dollar."
