Wait a minute, a trial for falsifying business records? Didn’t we just wrap that up, and Trump can’t afford the bond?? His business is barred from NY? ---

So this is pretty hilarious: > Donald Trump’s new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s [legal bills](https://projects.apnews.com/features/2023/trump-investigations-civil-criminal-tracker/index.html) before the RNC gets a cut > **[Trump's invite to major donors prioritizes the committee paying his legal...](https://apnews.com/article/trump-campaign-fundraising-rnc-c0e8f1e7b59f70c5237e13a3462e5790)** > > Donald Trump and his Republican allies are well behind President Joe Biden and Democrats on fundraising. So it’s seems and you may, again, need to sit down for this, that Honest Don has gotten into a business relationship with someone (this time those poor defenceless innocents the RNC) and proceeded to rip them off. Inconceivable! Who could have predicted this ? Except, you know, a god-damned slime mold (who incidentally also has a more moral set of ethical standards than either party) Pretty god-damned hilarious. I am skeptical it will have that big a difference in the election (for all the big deal that is made of it, how much difference does this fundraising actually make?) Still would be deliciously hilarious if it does lead to an election collapse up and down ballot for the GOP. ---

Now, this is Xitter, and I don’t have means to accurately assess the account, but it claims the PAC has spent almost half a million on Melania’s fashion styling. I image it would have been a million if they had not made that “I don’t care, do U” faux pas > I do, actually, think she looks stylish, not quite Jackie Kennedy, but up there in first lady fashion. ---

I would imagine that’s just part of her price for not getting a divorce and doing some tell-all interviews. ---

Oh man, not me, I can recall often thinking her stylist must secretly hate her to have put her in _that monstrosity_. My sense of fashion is probably not all that sophisticated though. ---

> [@EllisDee](#): > > I’m going to try and embed that Biden commercial linked above in the article that people were having issues opening: Thanks. Watching that video gave me a bit of PTSD, being reminded of how ugly and bad the first trump admin was. But I think it’s important for all of us as Americans to watch and be reminded-- I hope upcoming Biden campaign ads are more than 50% video supercuts of trump being an arrogant incompetent asshole as President. The voting public has a short memory, and I think the ‘on the fence’ conservative-ish moderates who don’t like Biden have forgotten just how extreme of an offensive orange oaf he really was and is.
