[EDIT]  I wish.  But this is assuming that Republican voters see Trump the way that we do.  🙄

Oh, sure, now Rudy has all the evidence of election fraud...and also "evidence" that he reckons will (somehow) exonerate him? 3 years later? Spare me. 🙄

Maybe if he didn't waste his money on getting people to search for non-existent election fraud and spent it on, well, actual lawyers, he wouldn't have to go grovelling to Trump for money?

The NY Times - Bail for Trump Set at $200,000 in Georgia Election Interference Case

21 August 2023

Former President Donald J. Trump’s bail was set at $200,000 on Monday in a sprawling racketeering case charging Mr. Trump and 18 associates with election interference in Georgia.

 

The move came as it became clear that Mr. Trump and the other defendants will be required to pay cash upon being booked in Atlanta, which was not the case in the three other criminal cases involving the former president.

 

While defendants have to come up with only 10 percent of the bail amount, even that could prove difficult for some, including Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former personal lawyer for Mr. Trump, who is running out of money because of an array of legal entanglements he faces. ...

 

Not to worry - the MAGA faithful will pay for The Don's expenses, as usual.   🙄

The NY Times - Bail for Trump Set at $200,000 in Georgia Election Interference Case

 

21 August 2023

 

Not to worry - the MAGA faithful will pay for The Don's expenses, as usual.   🙄

 

From the article:

"The costs clearly worry some of the defendants in the Trump case; one of them, Cathy Latham, a former Republican Party official in Georgia who acted as a fake elector for Mr. Trump in 2020, has set up a legal-defense fund, describing herself as “a retired public-school teacher living on a teacher’s pension.” The $3,645 she has initially raised is well short of a $500,000 goal."

Oh no! Anyway...

Interesting. The Raw Story websites are polling 'Should Trump be allowed to run for office?' I entered a spare email address and got this result:

Mind you, if you asked the MAGA crowd, I get the feeling some of them would crawl over broken glass to vote for the orange buffoon...despite the fact he couldn't care less about any of them 🙄

Republicans in general are probably a different story however, probably a bit less support there. I also understand Trump made absolutely 0 effort to win over independent voters as well while he was president, which also helped him lose in 2020. I believe that independents don't tend to have a very positive view of him and his various indictments this time around, either.

MILLIONS EXPECTED TO WATCH WORLD LYING CHAMPIONSHIP

SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—Millions are expected to watch two legendary prevaricators face off for the world lying championship this Wednesday night.

The event is being characterized in some quarters as a generational struggle, as a fifty-four-year-old upstart seeks to wrest the World Liar's Crown from an aging but still dangerous seventy-seven-year-old.

Those who favor the younger man’s chances in this battle of whoppers point to his role in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit, which cost $787.5 million, dwarfing the paltry three million dollars the older man paid for defaming E. Jean Carroll.

But, according to the renowned promoter Don King, the chance of an upset is precisely what will attract hordes of eyeballs on Wednesday night. “For the millions of Americans who love liars, this is gonna be Ali vs Frazier all over again," he declared.

The NY Times - Prosecutors Criticize Trump’s Request for 2026 Trial Date in Jan. 6 Case

21 August 20023

Federal prosecutors pushed back on Monday against former President Donald J. Trump’s request to postpone his election interference trial in Washington until well into 2026, asserting that his main reason for the delay - the amount of evidence his lawyers have to sort through - was vastly overstated.  ...

 

Mr. Trump has made no secret in private conversations with his aides that he is looking to win the next election as a way to try to solve his array of legal problems. To that end, he has often sought to slow down prosecutors in all four of the criminal cases he is facing.
