    'Closest he'll get to any Air Force Ones': Trump ridiculed for 'hawking bootleg' sneakers

    by David McAfee 03/17/24

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-bootleg-sneakers-ridicule/

     

    “The former president, who on Friday was ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in a fraud case in New York, Saturday appeared in Pennsylvania to give a "surprise speech" in front of a backdrop advertising his "Trump sneakers."”

     

    “Obama appointee Eric Columbus said Saturday, "Trump just spoke at something called 'Sneaker Con' in Philly while promoting a website where he hawks $399 sneakers and $99 perfume."”

    - Lara Trump, soon to be the co-chair of the Republican National Committee -

    "“Every single penny will go to the No. 1 – and the only job of the RNC — that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States,”

     

    So, all that donor money that will be given to the RNC will go to Donald Trumps PAC.

    Donald Trump's PAC is paying his legal fees.

    Good luck of you are a Republican Congressman or Senator looking for RNC help paying for yard signs or TV ads. All that money is going towards keeping Donald Trump out of jail instead.

    https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-sends-melania-valentines-day-message-through-campaign-email-1869942
    "On Wednesday, the Trump campaign sent out an email with the subject line "I love you, Melania!" The email read: "THIS IS A VALENTINE'S DAY LETTER FROM DONALD J. TRUMP: Dear Melania,I LOVE YOU! Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side. You've always supported me through everything. I wouldn't be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth. You will always mean the world to me, Melania! From your husband with love, Donald J. Trump. Please leave some kind words for the First Lady this Valentine's Day!"
    The email also contains three "SEND YOUR LOVE" buttons, which bring supporters to a donation page that repeats the Valentine's Day message, and says: "If you love Melania, I humbly ask you for you to leave her some kind words below!"
    A box with the caption "PLEASE LEAVE SOME KIND WORDS FOR THE FIRST LADY THIS VALENTINE'S DAY – SEND HER YOUR LOVE!" appears along with a list of suggested donations."

     

    ... And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.

    The sleaze just oozes out of every pore.

    "One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir, if we don't pay, and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?' I said,..."

     

    I know he's lying, because leaders of other countries don't stand up when they want to talk to Trump. They are leaders of countries in their own right and are co-equals. and they don't call him "sir" as if they are subservient.

    Donald trump asks the Supreme Court to step in.

     

    APPLICATION FOR A STAY OF THE D.C. CIRCUIT’S MANDATE PENDING

    THE FILING OF A PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI

     

    https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24424095/23a745.pdf

     

    The questions presented are:

    I. Whether the doctrine of absolute presidential immunity includes immunity from

    criminal prosecution for a President’s official acts, i.e., those performed within the “‘outer

    perimeter’ of his official responsibility.” Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731, 756 (1982)

    (quoting Barr v. Matteo, 360 U.S. 564, 575 (1959)).

    II. Whether the Impeachment Judgment Clause, U.S. CONST. art. I, § 3, cl. 7, and principles

    of double jeopardy foreclose the criminal prosecution of a President who has been impeached

    and acquitted by the U.S. Senate for the same and/or closely related conduct that underlies

    the criminal charges.

    Published in 1944, and de-classified in 2008, the OSS (later to become the CIA) produced

     

    "General Interference with Organizations and Production:" Here are some about sabotaging meetings:

    • Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

    • Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.

    • When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.

    • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

    • Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

    • Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

    • Advocate "caution." Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable"and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

      It’s eerie how familiar this sounds in our modern day politics.

    - Donald Trump, hours before the Super Bowl-

    https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111913990846366079

     

    “I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!”

     

    I hope she haunts his every waking moment.

    -Donald Trump- 

    One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir, if we don't pay, and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?' I said, 'You didn't pay, you're delinquent?'"


    "No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want."


    I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want."
    I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want."
    I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want."

    This is worse than Neville Chamberlain ever thought about being.

    Increasingly cultish Trump rallies aim to shield him with 'armor of God'

    by Travis Gettys February 9, 2024

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-rally-2667224910/

     

    “Donald Trump's rally speeches have evolved since he left office under the cloud of Jan. 6 and now conspicuously blend evangelical Christian themes with QAnon conspiracy theories.

    The former president follows the same script for rallies, making a quick stop at a local eatery to bask in the attention of supporters assembled by his team as a local pastor warms up the crowd with an "opening prayer" tying together conspiratorial themes with religious fervor, wrote attorney Ron Filipowski for The Daily Beast.

    "Even though there are different pastors giving these prayers at each rally, the theme generally remains the same — that there are dark, satanic, sinister forces who have taken over the government behind the scenes (the Deep State), and these forces are threatened by the only man capable of defeating them — Donald Trump," wrote Filipowski, who has watched every Trump rally, interview and speech since January 2021. "Attendees are then typically asked to pray to put a 'hedge of protection' around Trump and his family, or to 'put the Armor of God' on him to safeguard him, because the agents of the Deep State will stop at nothing to destroy him."

    After suggesting the former president was in mortal danger from his enemies, the pastors then make that case that he was chosen by God as the only individual who could defeat these sinister forces, and they underline Trump's suggestion that he should accumulate autocratic powers to destroy the Deep State.

    "He has been anointed by God for the task, and they often compare him to King David in this respect," Filipowski wrote. "The faithful are told the monumental task Trump is about to undertake on behalf of God cannot be accomplished by any other person because nobody else is willing to do what must be done."

    Trump rallies then conclude with QAnon theme music, and many of the gathered fanatics hold up one finger as a symbol of the conspiratorial cult's slogan, “Where We Go One, We Go All."

    "Whether moderate swing voters who tend to pay attention later in the election cycle will recoil at the idea that Trump is presenting himself as the second coming of King David," Filipowski wrote, "this messianic messaging clearly appeals to the fanatics who attend Trump’s rallies."”


     

    Tent revivals.

    I wonder if they start speaking in tongues and start prying with snakes and stuff.

    - From the lips of the Orange God Monkey King -

    FEDERAL JUDGES JUST RULED AGAINST ME!

     

    Moments ago, federal judges just ruled that I HAVE NO PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!

     

    Joe Biden has weaponized the entire federal government against US.

     

    THEY WON’T STOP UNTIL THE MAGA MOVEMENT IS ERASED!

     

    THEY WON’T STOP UNTIL THEY HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL!

     

    THEY WON’T STOP UNTIL WE BEND AT THEIR WILL, BUT I KNOW YOU WON’T LET THAT HAPPEN!

     

    Before the day is over, I’m calling on EVERY SINGLE ONE of my supporters to chip in and say:

    END THE WITCH HUNT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP!

     

    They’ll never stop targeting us, but I know with your support at this very moment, WE WILL WIN!

     

    Please join me now.

     

    Well, you know. To paraphrase Kayleigh McEnany,  May as well sell a few dresses while you're at it.

    Donald Trump loses appeal of his 'presidential immunity' from criminal prosecution for J6

    by Sarah K. Burris February 6, 2024

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-loses-presidential-immunity-appeal/?utm_source=superhead

     

    “We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes…Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count," the ruling says in the 3-0 decision.”

    Trump vows to appeal to the Supreme Court, but people are saying that the ruling is so strong that the Supreme Court won't even bother to take it up.

    Read the 57 page ruling here:

    Florida Rep. Pushes Bill To Legalize Shooting Bears 'That Are On Crack'

    No, this is not a "Cocaine Bear" sequel.

    By Ryan Grenoble Feb 5, 2024

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/florida-bill-shoot-bears-on-crack_n_65c10ccae4b0dbc806ad885f

    “A Florida lawmaker wants the state to enact a “stand your ground”-style law against a scourge of what he describes as bears “that are on crack” kicking people’s doors down in the middle of the night.

    “Bears are cute and cuddly and an amazing creature ― those aren’t the bears we’re talking about in this bill. We’re talking about the ones that are on crack, and they break your door down and they’re standing in your living room growling and tearing your house apart.”

    “So when you run into one of these crack bears, you should be able to shoot it. Period,” Shoaf said, adding that the bears have become “a major problem in the panhandle.””

     

    You do realize that cocaine bears kicking in your front door are the most serious threat facing America today, don't you?

    Your tax dollars hard at work paying this guy's salary.

    23 hours ago, Ron Bulman said:

    I always believe you Steve, but that's almost unbelievable such a dumbass would say such.  Kind of sickening.

    Ron,

    He actually doubled down on this.

    He originally posted this on Twitter, and when Twitter deleted his post because it was so repulsive and closed his account, he started complaining that Twitter was censoring him and infringing on his right to free speech.

    He orinally said that the migrants should all be given rides on Pinochet Air.

    Trump hired private investigator to check work done by his E. Jean Carroll lawyers: report
    By Tom Boggioni
    February 2, 2024 6:33AM ET
    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-alina-habba-2667152617/

    "A political action committee closely tied to Donald Trump's re-election bid recently spent close to a quarter of a million dollars to investigate the quality of work of his legal team which has now suffered two losses to E. Jean Carroll and her attorneys."


    Trump was investigating his own lawyers.
    We're they that bad, or did they set him up?
