Wondering if the nonstop legal bills will have a serious impact. Does he have three different teams for the three cases? I know an evil billionaire donor could pay them but hoping it slows down his ads or ground game or whatever.

At one point, Donnie's PAC had $100m. He still has lots of small donors available, but that number was recently down to $4m primarily due to legal costs. He even had to pull back a $60m cash transfer to a SuperPAC that he intended to use on ads and stuff.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/31/us/politics/trump-pac-filing.html

Since Donnie is adamant about not using his own money for stuff like this, he's basically raiding every campaign fund he can touch. That also has second-order effects, as he's not exactly raising money for other Republicans even when he says he is.

And those other indictees aren't exactly rich and lol if you think Donnie is going to pay their costs. Though also lol if he pays just to prevent them flipping.

Ah makes sense. Also hoping the quality of lawyers he gets pad every bill to speed run draining his coffers. Hoping they don’t coordinate so the defense presented under oath at one trial wrecks his defense in another venue.

The sort of people who would protest this are the exact sort of cowards that will only do so until they meet even the most breezy of opposition.

J6 happened because there was a big event to stop, Donnie encouraged them to show up, law enforcement (possibly deliberately) had their pants down, and they all thought they were going to win and wouldn't have consequences.

With a bazillion indictments of insurrectionists, plus the ringleaders finally getting indicted, who wants to show up to a heavily fortified photo op? There's nothing to stop, Donnie's barely encouraging them, LEOs got their poo poo together, and there's consequences for loving around.

That's why it was so important to get every drat j6er identified and ringleaders indicted. The indictments created their own deterrent, basically.

Yeah, the Republican base has literally been fed CIVIL WAR?!? about every little thing for years and it's lost it's sting now that there's consequences for failure. The chuddy base is always yelling about insurrection again, then warning that there are glowing FBI agents at every big protest now. Example:

https://twitter.com/AGHamilton29/status/1691420907124727808?t=MesqmuiFOi7IrXOeAydwbA&s=19

And to spoil the click-through surprise, Tim Pool is currently complaining that Elon isn't giving Tim his payout for tweeting CIVIL WAR?!? at every news event.

Every channel for communication these chuds are on is screaming about civil war and how somebody should go do something about it. The big difference now is that every attempt at organizing it used to be met with circle jerking each other over getting to kill and punish their enemies and how covered in glory they would all be for fighting the perfidious jew swarthy invader liberals. Now a thousand or so of them have gotten around to the finding out phase and those channels are responding to attempts to coordinate with "YOU'RE A FED! OH YEAH, WELL YOU'RE A GLOWIE!"

So the individual mass shooters will continue to have the kettle's heat turned up on them until they go popcorn, but there's going to be a really hard time organizing large scale stuff when everyone's jumping at shadows.

Most famously used by some right wing racist rear end in a top hat on YouTube I don't care enough about to justify with his name, wherein he used the phrase and a hard-R to refer to federal agents that were gang stalking him "at night" so he could see them or whatever bullshit he made up for false martyr points.

It also implies blame or involvement from the US.

A video debunking a conspiracy theory or something fringe can get called glowie if it strikes a nerve with the x-files brained.

E: I remember some unpublished 9-11 video surfaced when Ukraine was getting invaded, and the related videos included a lot of random unclassified test video the YouTube algorithm pushed, and comments were all peppered with glowie comments.

In a sign of hopefully things to come, Chris Christie has passed DeSantis for second in New Hampshire.

It still seems a foregone conclusion that :smugdon: will win the GOP, but it could be interesting if the race for second somehow becomes the race for the lead.

I just remember that guy because he got permabanned from pretty much every hobby OS development website known to man, as well as several accounts here on SA and even so far as to be shadowbanned from Hacker News, a website that is known for being such a right-libertarian proto-techbro paradise that getting banned there is almost impossible

Then he got hit by a train
