Ahh, the lesser of two evils argument. Thanks for the reminder why voting is SO pointless...
All you said is he may be just as bad.

Karloff says
And the Republicans decided to walk right into the Democrat's trap by nominating the one man who is terribly wounded and weighed down by all this garbage lawfare.
None of it is fair, but Democrats play to win and Republicans and MAGA are thrashing around with unfocused rage as designed by the Democrats.
How is MAGA and RNC fundraising going to work over the next 8 months with Trump still tied up with court cases, appeals and multi-million dollar judgements against him?
The smart play for Trump would be to step aside and get fully behind a competent guy like DeSantis who can win and also take on the Deep State.
Witness the Bolshevik takeover of America.

If Trump steps aside then DeSantis would get the lawfare, as would anyone else who would take them on. Nikki Haley, being a deep stater herself, would likely be unharassed.

Not enough time for that. They barely manage to wrap up some (not all) of Trump's cases before election, no way they can do any significant harm to anyone else from a standing start.

Trump is continuing to lose these court cases and still has 2 more coming this year! Trump is getting totally screwed and there is not enough time for appeals and vindication before the election. Narratives already set in for swing voter sheep.
Politics is the art of what is possible. We need to fucking win some elections if we have any prayer of fixing all this corruption and helping Trump battle against lawfare.
Too many in MAGA are drinking the hopium polls as if the Democrats are going to run Biden against Trump.

The alternative is to elect another fucking puppet that will blindly do the bidding of the Neocon assholes that are attacking him, which is why they are attacking him.
I'm not a particular fan of a Trump, but I'm an absolute enemy of the Neocons. Neocons are running the country now. Anthony Blinken and Victoria Nuland run the United States right now, and they will continue to regardless of who is president unless it's Trump, and EVEN IF IT'S TRUMP, there's a good chance they will continue to run the country.

What's with this "fundraising" bullshit? You know why money is needed to run a campaign? They are bribes to reach the morons that still watch television and vote based on a 30 second commercial. People are so fucking stupid, they continue to watch commercials because they don't know how to use a DVR. People so fucking braindead, they continue to watch television "news" thinking it's information.
These people are irrelevant. IF they vote, they blindly vote for "their party" regardless of who it is.
Fox, MSNBC, and CNN are the top 3 largest broadcasters in the nation today. 3 million people in a country of 330 million people will tune into those during the day (on average). That's their actual reach. Less than 1% of this country is so fucking retarded, they pay any attention to them at all. That's their actual reach. They are the 1980's Pravda and Izvestia of today. Do you know what the principle use of Izvestia and Pravda were in the 1980's? Toilet paper. The papers were free, and the Russians wiped their assholes with them. At least they had some utility. If you're STILL watching television "news", you're in the 1%.
Television still has plenty of influence, because they still (surprisingly) dictate the Overton Window - that is "what we talk about". We talk about the Ukraine war, because they talk about it, we don't talk about the Syrian war, because they don't. They determine the limits of our discussion, because that 1% of retards, just repeat what they hear and think is noteworthy because the propaganda box tells them it's noteworthy, and most people are just brainless followers and they talk about. These are real:
That's fully 70% of the population, more like 90%. There's 20% that have SOME level of autonomy, but 70% have absolutely none. If you bring up, say, the starvation in Yemen caused by the US bombing campaign there, they will have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and will think you're crazy to think that's going on. If you bring up the coup in Ukraine, they'll think you're nuts, because they never heard of it in the last decade. They won't even listen, they certainly won't check to see you're actually correct, and even if they do by some miracle, they will consider it an unimportant issue because otherwise they would have heard about it from some source.

Give me even a JEB! type RINO any day of the week compared to what the Democrat alternative is.
Binary decision, one is waaaay worse than the other. I want the one that is way less worse to win.

Truckers Warn Loads To NYC Will Be Rejected Starting Monday
Truckers are talking amongst themselves to start denying loads for New York City. "We're tired of motherfking leftist fking with Trump. Okay ... Motherfuers start to get tired of this sht... I don't know how far across the country this is - or how many truckers are going start denying loads to NYC - but I'll tell you - you f**k around and find out..."

"By Saturday morning, the video had amassed nearly 3 million views. This comes after a New York judge handed former President Trump a penalty of $355 million plus interest on his civil fraud case." https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fk-around-find-out-truckers-warn-loads-nyc-will-be-rejected-starting-monday

Even if a good percentage of truckers do this it will drive up the prices to truck things in making localized inflation for products. Most truck drivers probably hate having to drive there in the first place, and the ones that still go will make a killing.

Looks like they really screwed Trump good requiring that he put up nearly half a billion in his own money if he wants to appeal the New York case.
Even a rich guy like Trump will struggle raising that kind of cash. Especially when he should be busy raising cash for his Presidential run this year and helping down ticket Republicans win the House and Senate, so Trump's Administration is not blocked at every turn. Instead, the RNC is basically broke because Trump's pick (McDaniel) was awful and a significant chunk of the Republican party hates our front runner.
Democrats know how to play to win.......and Republicans decided to nominate our most wounded candidate, with the highest negatives, who is losing all of his court cases to the Democrat's lawfare.
