“I love the poorly educated.” ~ D. Trump

"King of the United States."

Some people weren't paying attention during civics and history classes in middle school.

If they even had them.

Or just want to put things back to how they were in the "good old days."

people also weren't paying attention when it came to electing school boards.

Rather they waste money there than on campaigning. Sadly the GOP has nearly unlimited billionaire foundation money after citizens united gutted campaign finance law.

Unfortunately, the trials ARE Trump's campaign. He doesn't need any other publicity and propaganda than the reactions of him and the cult to the trials.

Down ticket Republicans are another matter, though. Hopefully a lot of them will lose their elections because they can't afford enough ads figuratively fellating him.

You are nearly there.

To steal a phrase from the Mormons, I love it when Trump bleeds the beast for his legal fees. Say goodbye to down ticket wins, Georgia.

Can I donate to Georgia? I would gladly support his prosecution. Throw my name on the DAs jersey.

Are lawyers going to inherit the earth? Sure seems that way
