John Legend explains why Donald Trump is a racist: “He's made it clear throughout his life that Black people are inferior, he believes that to his core, in his bones... but also when you hear some of the stray comments he makes, he clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity and is racially determined, so he is a tried and true, dyed-in-the-wool racist.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Hear that fellas, he never thought he was one of you.
Bold of him to assume that he’ll beat Biden in the election after all the bad things he has done and all those trials he has.

Trump is moaning about the gag order limiting his "free speech." Mr. Trump enjoys no such right as a felony defendant on pretrial release. He enjoys only the privileges extended by the court.
This won't stop the mouth breathers from piling on.
NYT reporting suggests that Trump's lawyer got laughed out of the courtroom trying to argue against the contempt allegations. "You're losing all credibility with the court," the justice said.
Prosecutors are seeking fines and not jail time, saying that jail time is exactly what Trump wants to continue is victim narrative.
There are reports that Trump released his signature scent several time already in the courtroom. Ew.

He farted several times? I would not want to smell that!
Must be his way of disrespecting the law and the people in the courtroom.

I figured, actually. I wonder who eats that food before a trial? Never mind. I only asked because I have not seen a person eat such food before a trial, but that can’t be important, right?
Whether he is doing it to disrespect others or not, he is in a lot of trouble already. I do hope he gets rightfully punished here.

This includes but is not limited to sending to the house file, prospecting vendors, and advertising. Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.

Quote:Finally, all committees that have been given the Trump Seal of Approval will be allowed to have one upsell that is personally signed by President Trump.

Paying the vig IS what’s going to firebomb the party. The stormtroopers running the RNC have already said they’re not going to help down-ballot candidates. Having to kick up 5% to the Godfarter is going to make things ever harder for them.

The difference being that, in the Maria, the lower echelons got some service for the money they kicked up the line. Some Republican running for a state legislature is going to get bupkis.
