2024 US Presidential Election

Cornel West is hardly a gem. Like when he claimed on CNN that NATO provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Called for "concessions of territory" to stop the war, and said that the US "bears significant responsibility."






Or this little piece

Philosopher and presidential Green Party candidate Cornel West currently owes more than half a million dollars between unpaid taxes and unpaid child support, according to tax records.

Records show West owes nearly $466,000 in federal income taxes from 2013 until 2017. This came after he accrued (and later repaid) a debt of nearly $725,000 from 1998-2005, and more than $34,000 in 2008, according to tax records in Mercer County, New Jersey – where he owns a home.

Additionally, West has an outstanding $49,500 child support judgement from 2003, records show.

While it's not clear how long West didn't pay child support, New Jersey family lawyer Kathleen Stockton said that the amount of money appears substantial. The average U.S. child support obligation is about $5,800 per year, according to census data, making West's nearly $50,000 more than eight times that.

West is Trump's ticket to the WH if the GOP plays West up against Biden instead of whacko Kennedy.

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's political operation has helped pay the legal expenses of more than a dozen people contacted by prosecutors investigating the former president, tying up millions of dollars that otherwise could be used for his 2024 White House bid.

Reuters has identified 13 potential witnesses or co-defendants who were represented by law firms that received payments from a political group run by Trump, based on interviews and a review of court records and campaign finance disclosures. The payments were disclosed in campaign finance reports as general payments to law firms rather than specific payments to individuals.

Those law firms, which include Brand Woodward, Dhillon Law Group and Greenberg Traurig, received more than $2.1 million in the first six months of this year from Save America, a Trump group that is separate from his campaign but played a major role raising money to support him as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

The funds represent a significant chunk of the more than $21 million that Save America's disclosures to the Federal Election Commission show it spent on legal expenses during that period, a sum that could grow substantially if the group keeps paying legal expenses that are expected to balloon in the coming year.

Some legal experts say campaign finance rules appear to allow Save America's spending on legal bills involving Trump because the group is registered as a "leadership committee," which faces few restrictions on spending. Others say, however, that prosecutors may scrutinize the payments for signs of any effort to influence witness testimony.

Four lawyers and legal experts consulted by Reuters said Trump's defense in four criminal prosecutions could cost over $50 million, more than all the money raised in the first half of this year by Trump's campaign and its top allied super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc, known as MAGA Inc.

I hope he goes broke and has to use a public defender.

I hope he goes broke and has to use a public defender. 

With the number of lawyers that have quit on him, I'm surprised he's not reduced to public defence already.

I love how you had to remove 95% of what he said to make it sound bad.

Do you think that West would be the one who would disclose the truth about aliens if he became the president?

Cornel for president? No.

[LinuxGal]

Personally, I think that some of the independents and moderate Republicans are really going to think twice about backing a convicted fraudster.

[Anomalocaris]

Cornel for president? No.

the most plausible third party spoiler is kennedy junior.   being a kennedy he would draw votes that would deny themselves, but just barely, to trump but want to create a illusion for themselves that they are less like trumpers than they really are.
