Hey, they don’t have to listen to it, he just has to do it. But what we’re both glossing past is that the kick in the balls is paramount. ---

Nah. Make him call a new resident of Georgia every day, to explain to them that he’s a lying shitbag who lied to everyone about these women, and that he’s never to be trusted ever again. Give people a week’s notice of it being their turn for the phone call, so they have time to figure out how to record it, and share it on the internet. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Glad to see at least some Georgia Republicans have a spine: It’s like I said earlier in this thread, Trump made enemies in the Georgia Republican Party by calling them crooks involved in election fraud.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, [Trump isn’t covering the legal bill of other Georgia defendants](https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/01/politics/cash-crunch-trump-georgia-co-defendants-legal-bills/index.html) and in fact has told NewsMax he “doesn’t know them.” Many are getting money from GiveSendGo, which is a faith-based version of GoFundMe. ---
