Should the Republican Party Pay Donald
Trump's Legal Bills?

Original Article

A longtime Republican National Committee member, Henry Barbour, has introduced two resolutions for consideration by the RNC board that the Trump campaign opposes as "absurd." The first proposal would enforce the RNC by-laws that forbid the national committee from taking sides in a primary. The proposed resolution would explicitly prevent the RNC from coordinating with a campaign until one candidate has won 1215 delegates, which is the number needed for the nomination. "The Republican National Committee must serve as a neutral player in primaries," the proposal reads, pointing to RNC Rule 11. That rule states the national party shall not "contribute money or in-kind aid to any

After the RNC was actually scammed by Ronna to raise her salary to nearly half a million dollars, I say yes !

Trump stands a very good chance of winning (on appeal) all these lawfare suits and the obscene verdict for hurting the feelings of some lying woman. This is why we need universal loser-pays laws for civil and even for criminal accusations. Yes, some lawyers would make out like bandits but prosecutors and claimants might think twice before politically mis-using the courts for BS. I have mixed feelings about the RNC underwriting DJT's legal defenses.

Yes. Definitely. Because these so-called idiotic charges are being dreamed up by the demoncraps to destroy PT and the GOP. As PT has said, they aren't after him. They are after you and he's is the only obstacle between us and the Berserkers.

FTA: “If you accept Trump's reasoning that THE LEGAL BILLS ARE THE RESULT OF A POLITICAL PROSECUTION designed to hobble the former president in seeking to be elected again, the RNC should pay all legal bills whether they're directly related to the 2024 campaign or not.” / A vast number of conservative journalists as well as social media posters have commented on the numerous assaults directed at President Trump since he won the 2016 presidential election as something never seen before in this country; therefore, the “reasoning” for the assaults being “political prosecution” appears to be an accurate assessment and deserving/necessitating financial assistance from the Republican National Committee. President Trump is taking the slings and arrows not only for fly-over country citizens, but for congressional Republicans as well. Just because President Trump is a man of personal wealth should not deprive him of RNC financial support; his personal wealth is his personal wealth; his lawfare assaults are due to politics. For those who would argue the Elizabeth Jean Carroll litigation is personal, considering the timeline of Ms. Carroll’s FIRST legal action against President Trump was initiated in November 2019—years after the alleged incident took place in 1995 or 1996 when he was PRIVATE CITIZEN Donald John Trump, suggests the action in 2019 was politically motivated against PRESIDENT Trump. As a aside, helping fund Ms. Carroll are “known Democrat Party activists and mega-donor Reid Hoffmann” (who also backed Nimarata (Nikki) Randhawa Haley with a $250,000 donation but discontinued funding after her New Hampshire loss to President Trump.

Yes. Trump should recover what he has paid out. They didn't just rob Trump, they robbed his kids--who from what I can see have turned out very well. They seem more than capable to manage that fortune responsibly. Wealth needs a legacy behind it for society to benefit. Once the smoke clears there will be opportunities to recoup those expenses several times over. If the party steps up now, it will have a share in the bounty.

If you agree that the prosecutions have nothing to do with 2024, then you agree that the Democrats did not steal the 2020 election . or you agree that Barack Hussein is a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, or Joe Biden can tie his own shoe laces! It is unending.

Things ain’t looking that good. Nothing seems to be working in the so-called free world: rubbish in the streets, vandalism and violent crime, illegal immigration at record levels, no-go areas in towns and cities; is this why we pay taxes and call ourselves free? Mass shootings have become a way of life in America, illegal underage migrants are turning New York and Chicago into war zones, and Joe Biden is given a pass by an enabling and compliant media that has made the profession of journalism lower than that of the oldest profession.

People around the world are increasingly realizing that “green” energy is actually black–as in blackouts. Thus, in today’s Telegraph: “The UK is much closer to blackouts than anyone dares to admit.” "We are heading for a big electricity crunch as it is. Whoever wins the general election, the next government will be committed to decarbonising the National Grid – by 2035 in the case of the Conservatives and by 2030 in the case of Labour. That means either closing all the gas power stations or fitting them with carbon capture and storage technology – which does not yet exist on scale in Britain and whose costs are likely to be massive.

The hysteria about Donald Trump's return to office is really something to behold. From Trump critics believing that he wants to kill them to reporters warning that Trump will send them to jail if he's re-elected, the level of surreal expectation of disaster is something I've never seen or experienced in nearly 50 years of writing about politics. I don't have to tell PJ Media readers where I stand when it comes to Donald Trump. But opposition from many leftists to Trump's candidacy has morphed into an insane, fervent, almost religious crusade. There's no reasoning with these people. There's no rational argument that can convince them that the hysteria

If I could impart one bit of wisdom to you today, I hope that people who tell you they are anything – good, smart, honest, not selling you something, conservative, etc. – are the opposite. Truly smart people don’t have to tell anyone they’re smart, people just know. The same goes for funny people. The more someone insists they are something, the less likely they are to be that thing.

It doesn’t work. So, we have to reduce emissions from the food system.” What a dilemma. If we feed people, we will continue to warm the planet.

America can mass deport illegal aliens,

The headlines are full of stories about illegal aliens: They’re raping children, murdering young women, crashing their cars into children, assaulting and murdering police officers…and the list goes on. However, we’re told that we’re stuck with them. Well, we’re not. In the 1950s, when there was political will—and a plea from Mexico to send its citizens home—we did mass deport illegal aliens. Like Pakistan deporting its illegal Afghan aliens, El Salvador jailing its gangs, or Argentina balancing its budget in nine weeks, it just requires political will. I made a lot of assertions about illegal aliens in my opening paragraph. Let me back them up with just a few examples.

The Enhanced Games are set to debut in 2025, and since its inception, they've been dubbed the "Olympics on Steroids" – and that's because performance-enhancing drugs will be 100% allowed. Dr. Aron D'Souza founded the event last year, and the immediate backlash has been strong. He has been told his idea is unsafe, unfair and a mockery of the real Olympics, but disagrees with those assessments. In fact, D'Souza calls his Enhanced Games "the future of sports" because his event epitomizes the safety and fairness of sports, not sports as we know them today. Steroids, obviously, have the stigma of not being safe. So, allowing steroids is simply unsafe, right? Wrong, says D'Souza.

Mary Poppins has had its age rating lifted from U to PG because it contains 'discriminatory language' - but the word in question is so obscure you may have never noticed it. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) now considers the 1964 tale of Julie Andrews' magical nanny to be not suitable for children to watch alone, despite the film enchanting generations of youngsters. The reclassification is due to the use of the word Hottentots. The dated term was historically used by Europeans to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but is now regarded as racially offensive.

For almost a century, there has been one constant in American politics: Jews vote for Democrats. There are multiple reasons for this fact but, regardless of the reason, the one thing Democrats could rely on was the Jewish vote. However, the Biden administration’s increasingly open hostility to Israel may be changing that pattern. One poll out of New York shows something remarkable: More than 50% of New York’s Jews plan to vote for Donald Trump! When Eastern European Jews came to America, they were escaping tsarist oppression. For them, the opposite of tsarism was Marxism. This binary viewpoint wasn’t unique to them. In pre-WWII England

Two sources familiar with the situation told The Hill that top lieutenants for the two GOP behemoths — Chris LaCivita, Trump’s campaign manager; and Josh Holmes, McConnell’s longtime top political hand — have held discussions in recent weeks about possibly thawing the freeze in their relationship and paving the way for McConnell to back Trump. “We’ve reached the part of the primary where the party is coming together,” one source familiar with the discussions said.

The Supreme Court will not throw Donald Trump off the ballot through some sort of deus ex MSNBCmachina, and Trump’s polls are improving while President Crusty’s are getting worse, so we face the real possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidency. Obviously, it’s not a done deal, but it is a bigger possibility than it used to be. Well, the Democrats are facing it, and now they’re trying to figure out how to stop him from taking office if and when he wins the election. This is a really bad idea. But of course, the Democrat Party is the Party of Bad Ideas, and the Party of Nanny Fascism.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the oldest Democrat-appointed justice on the court.

It sounds like Democrats are none too confident that their guy Joe will win re-election in November. So, to head off another Trump nominee to the majority conservative court, Democrats hope that Sotomayor will take the hint and retire. Will it happen? Nah. It's a lifetime appointment. Why should she give that up at the age of 69? She's young compared to other Democrats in top leadership positions

How do we know this is what they are scheming?

But the leftist media’s treatment of Caitlin Clark shows just how corrupt the compromised media really is.
