Miami Herald: I’m done trying to understand Trump supporters. Why don’t they try to understand me?

It puts them in no-win scenario.  To which I say 'good'.


Exactly. Trump is effectively killing the Republican to delay prison time. The GOP will be in a decade long tailspin after this election cycle.

Promise? 


Whatever a promise from me is worth. 🤣😜

 

It’s been a much slower process than what we may have liked/wanted… but it’s inevitable.

 

But it’s going to feel like a long 12 months. I know the election is in November… but it’s going to take 3 months afterwards for them to process their finality. The last gasps of air might be the hardest of all.

I get it. Just don't threaten me with a good time. 

 

 

Anywho.... 

 

 

Now if just an "ok" percentage of these primary votes who went against him do the same in Nov. That'll be significant.

MAGA, from the get go, and the tea party before that, has been a protracted, petulant tantrum by the old guard power structure trying to claw back a little of their righteous hatefulness after society started normalizing same sex marriage and recognizing that blacks and other minorities really were being treated unfairly.  The death rattle will not be pretty.

The NH and SC primaries are misleading.  They are both open and with the Democratic primary being no contest, there has been plenty of cross over.

 

Only 68% of the voters in the SC Republican primary self-identified as Republican in exit polls.  Unless he dies, Trump is going to win South Carolina, and it isn't going be close.  And he might win it even if he's dead.

Trump and lawyer sanctioned almost $1 million for ‘frivolous’ lawsuit against Hillary Clinton

 

A federal judge on Thursday imposed nearly $1 million in sanctions on former President Donald Trump and his lawyer for filing a since-dismissed “frivolous” lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and many others, which had claimed they tried to rig the 2016 presidential election in her favor by smearing Trump.

 

“We are confronted with a lawsuit that should never have been filed, which was completely frivolous, both factually and legally, and which was brought in bad faith for an improper purpose,” wrote Judge John Middlebrooks in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in his order sanctioning Trump and his attorney Alina Habba.

 

Trump’s suit, which sought $70 million in damages, accused Clinton and 30 other defendants of conspiring to “weave a false narrative” during the 2016 election that Trump and his campaign were colluding with Russia in their efforts to win the race.

 

Middlebrooks in his order Thursday noted that “Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries.”

 

“He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer,” Middlebrooks wrote.

 

“He knew full well the impact of his actions ... As such, I find that sanctions should be imposed upon Mr. Trump and his lead counsel, Ms. Habba.”

 

Under the order, the Republican Trump and Habba, are jointly and severally liable for the total amount of sanctions the judge imposed to cover the defendants’ legal fees and costs : $937,989.39. That amount is about $120,000 less than what the defendants jointly requested for sanctions.

 

Clinton was awarded $171,631 in sanctions to be paid by Trump and Habba, with most of that money earmarked for Clinton’s attorneys’ fee.

 

That was the second largest amount awarded in Middlebrooks’ order, which gave the Democratic National Committee, its former chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, and a related corporation $179,685.

 

“The amount of fees awarded in this case, while reasonable, is substantial,” Middlebrooks noted.

 

The judge in November had sanctioned Habba and other Trump lawyers $50,000 in favor of another defendant in the lawsuit, Charles Dolan.

 

He called the legal pleadings filed in the case by Habba “abusive litigation tactics,” and said the original lawsuit and a later, 186-page amended complaint “were drafted to advance political narrative; not to address legal harm caused by any Defendant.”

 

“The Amended Complaint is a hodgepodge of disconnected, often immaterial events, followed by an implausible conclusion,” Middlebrooks wrote.

 

“This is a deliberate attempt to harass; to tell a story without regard to facts.”

Trump asks court to toss sanctions in failed Clinton suit

 

Former President Trump asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to toss nearly $1 million in sanctions against him and his attorneys after a judge found a lawsuit brought against Hillary Clinton and other defendants was without merit.

 

In a filing in the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Trump’s lawyers argued that a federal judge’s order dismissing a lawsuit in 2022 and further ordering sanctions in 2023 against Trump and his attorneys were not justified. They also argue the sanctions “violated due process and was an abuse of discretion.”

 

“The district court made a clear error and abused its discretion in finding that Appellants acted in bad faith, and in imposing almost $1 million in inherent authority sanctions,” the appeal stated.

 

U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks, an appointee of former President Clinton, sanctioned Trump and his legal team more than $900,000 in a January 2023 order for what he described as a “continuing pattern” of misusing the court.

 

“This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed it. Intended for a political purpose, none of the counts of the amended complaint stated a cognizable legal claim,” Middlebrooks wrote last year.

 

The sanctions came after the same judge dismissed a lawsuit in 2022 brought by Trump against his 2016 political opponent Hillary Clinton and several others. The lawsuit alleged the defendants “orchestrated a malicious conspiracy to disseminate patently false and injurious information” about Trump and his campaign.
