    If Lara Trump takes over the RNC as chairman as demanded by Donald Trump then the RNC can spend the money on whatever they please including Trump's legal defense (spending donations on legal fees is allowed). Lara already proclaimed she would spend "every single penny" of RNC funds to help Donald Trump.

    In more normal times, the RNC funds would be used to help elect Republican candidates to office across the country.

    Europe and the US has been buying Russian oil and natural gas. They only get it from India and China. The same Russian oil and natural gas sold in the markets but, the US and Europe pay full market prices for it. China and India get a discount from Russia. Also, natural gas to Europe is now shipped in tankers since, NATO blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. That shipping cost gets added to the cost of the natural gas and oil.

    Michael Cohen — who long served as former President Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer — warned Sunday of the potential risk of sending Trump back to the White House with mounting legal fees and financial liabilities.

    “We need to be very careful about him as a potential president because he is for sale,” Cohen, now an outspoken critic of the former president, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” on Sunday.

    “He needs to figure out where he is going to raise $500-plus million over a short period of time,” Cohen continued.

    Cohen’s warning comes as Trump, the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate, was found liable Friday for nearly $355 million in penalties in a civil fraud case in New York that delivered a severe blow to his family business.

    New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) sued Trump and his business in 2022, alleging the former president falsely altered his net worth on key financial statements to receive tax and insurance benefits. James also alleged that Trump sometimes adjusted his assets’ value to obtain more favorable loans and deals, which the state points to as evidence of fraud.

    Last month, a federal jury in a different civil case ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million for defaming E. Jean Carroll, adding to the $5 million verdict in an earlier trial that found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her in separate comments.

    When MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend suggested Trump “is open to the highest bidder at this point because the tab keeps being run up,” floating “the Saudis, the Russians,” as options, Cohen agreed.

    “Thoroughly compromised, yes,” Cohen said.

    Trump was also indicted in four criminal cases, two of which were brought by special counsel Jack Smith, with another each in Georgia and New York. The New York hush money case will be the first to go to trial, and jury selection is slated to start next month. Cohen has been a witness in that case.

  8. Debbie Dingell on TV responding to a question about how to fix Biden's problems.

    She says "we should just let Joe Biden be Joe Biden."

    Really? You might want to think about that script and wait for the next one.

    That is right up there with "Just watch me."

    Whatever. Do what you gotta do.

    In a way, Joe Biden is correct because the US taxpayers are subsidizing NATO. Most of NATO still not paying their fair share. Someone has to make up the difference and it is US taxpayers. US should start closing bases in Europe and let Europe pay for their soldiers salaries and weapons. Take US weapons back to the US. Of course, US warmongers will object because it will reduce the number of wars the US gets involved in and from which they profit handsomely.

    Father Time is over here stacking bread. The old man has $130m in cash on hand. Trump’s burn rate exceeds his fundraising currently.
