An attorney for Donald Trump says that his supporters should not be made to believe that he has legal problems, following a decision to have the former president’s name taken off the Republican ballot in Maine.
Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out “propaganda” to harm his 2024 presidential run.
It comes after Mr Trump was removed from the ballot in Colorado last month, under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists holding public office. The decision to also block him from the ballot in Maine was handed down on Thursday by state secretary Shenna Bellows.
Speaking to Newsmax on Sunday, Ms Bobb suggested that Ms Bellows be impeached for her decision, and accused her of election interference.
We don’t think it. We know it.
You and I do. It’s his retarded supporters they’re trying to keep in the dark.
Oh, even they know, as evidenced by all the death threats against Engoron, Willis, CO Supreme Court, ME sec of state, etc.
Only one who seems to not be getting threats is Jack Smith, though I could have just missed those.edit: pfffffft of course Jack Smith got death threats, why did I consider otherwise?
That was a good point. I so rarely hear about the threats against him. Or they don’t stand out among the others.
I had to actually go search to confirm it. He probably doesn’t make such a great sustainable target for them since after the Hague all their nonsense is a bit muted for him.
Threats against Jack Smith get less publicity because he’s a well-off white man who isn’t a democratic politician.
Possibly also because one case he’s working on has to do with Trump provoking violence on Jan 6, so all the death threats aren’t doing Trump any favors there.
Your point hinges on seditionists understanding nuance or having restraint.
They seem to understand nuance well enough when willfully ignoring it to make bad faith comparisons.
Otherwise, true.
I don’t believe a person needs to understand nuance to be a hypocrite… they just need to value themselves at the expense of others.
English has so many other words instead of using slurs.
Be better.
lol at comment+username.
Anyone who supports a monster like him deserves slurs.
I’m not sure what words you’re advocating for. All of these are slurs, for example:
- Idiotic
- Moronic
- Stupid
- Imbecilic
- Ignorant
And so on, because slur means insult.
What a disingenuous argument… one of these things is not like the others.
We do not live in a black and white world. Certain words are far more hurtful and damaging than others. Calling somebody a big dumb poopy face isn’t nearly as bad as pulling out racist or antisemitic or ableist slurs.
“Be better”
Running for president is NOT A RIGHT. You must qualify. Trump does not qualify.
Nothing about this is election interference.
Trump does not have the right to run. Period.
And I say that presidents must not COMMIT TREASON.
Ms Bobb thinks Ms Bellows should be impeached for “election interference”. What about pressuring election officials to find 11,000 some votes to make up the difference Trump lost to Biden in Georgia?! I say we know who the interferer is, it’s the ex-president, twice impeached himself! Losers
“We only cheated because we knew you guys cheated because you won when we cheated last time.”
Zero self-awareness.
trump voters go out of their way to avoid the truth. They need no help from us.
The problem is, they won’t accept it, even if we offer it directly. It’s about as effective as trying to convince a religious person to leave their religion by presenting good reasons to leave.
They’ll just end up spouting some thought-terminating-clichés and doubling down on their “unshakable faith.” So his attorney is wrong, because they would vote for him even if he was found to be worse than John Wayne Gacy.
He could rape an aborted fetus on live TV and they’d cheer him on.
… but he does.

ALL campaign messaging is propaganda. Every last fucking word of it. Who the fuck doesn’t know this already?
Who the fuck doesn’t know this already?
Trump Cultists
How exactly do they plan to pull that off with him begging his supporters for money for his legal problems?
His supporters are very good at holding two contradictory positions at the same time. Like how they think Joe Biden is “Sleepy Joe” - a dementia riddled old man unable to string two sentences together - yet also a criminal mastermind who hides all the evidence proving his guilt. Or how illegal immigrants are both extremely lazy, but also taking everyone’s jobs.
So they’ll just say that Trump isn’t really in any legal jeopardy but they still need to donate their life savings to his legal defense fund to stop those “evil liberals who are just jealous of how wonderful Trump smells.”
These people don’t really believe what they’re saying. They desire to believe. Trump makes them feel better about themselves because he is an avatar for selfishness, pride, and success (in their minds).
They say they believe these things because it makes them feel good about themselves. They don’t actually believe it. So facts and reasoning won’t sway them. Calling Trump fat or smelly is better, because they know it’s true and it hurts their image of him.
Christina Bobb, previously known for being on Trump’s treason legal team while at the same time an anchor on OAN, and who is herself in legal trouble for lying to the FBI about the stolen documents thing.
This extreme denial is very dangerous. I worry these people will attack regardless of what happens. If he keeps getting removed they will react before the elections take place. I’ve heard many of my traitorous co-workers constantly mentioning civil war and I hope its anecdotal.
I’m sure the MAGA civil war will go much better than the last one. /s
We joke, but what happens when Trump loses and just calls for general destruction. They’ve proven they’ll do what he says. I’m weary of anybody with Trump faction banners. I just don’t think our government is taking this serious enough.
You can bet the FBI is making lists of people who are going to lose the right to bear arms. They are probably taking this very seriously, just not being public about to not scare them into being quiet about their intentions.
Let them make themselves known, especially the organizers, as opposed to mouthpieces.
what happens when Trump loses and just calls for general destruction.
Then we fight them and we beat them. It’s as simple as that. There’s no point in being worried about it; only prepared.
I don’t think so. Only the absolutely unhinged would take up arms. Not that many people want to throw their lives away for something they won’t see achieved. Even most republicans live privileged enough lives that they aren’t willing to sacrifice their freedom, comfort, black rifle coffee, etc.
Based on the quality of people who showed up to see JFK come back from the dead in Dallas a while back, I’m not too worried.
These aren’t gravy seals they’re lard walruses.

I’d rather get my kids out of a red city before it happens. My fears are completely selfish tbh.

Fuck that noise. We know it isn’t true, but a president should be able to obtain a security clearance. Guess what becomes a big problem in attaining said clearance.
It’s interesting to see how simple their programming is.
Cult programing is very simple when coupled with a 70+ year war against education.
Ah but he has no legal problems, once his voters did their part and got him “in” again, Trump will wave his dinosaur arms and magically make these legal …annoyances… go away.
That’s what they hope his voters will eventually believe.
Legal difficulties then? Legal entanglements? How about legal challenges? Ah, I know - legal kerfuffles! Surely one of those better describes his situation! :P
If he doesn’t have legal issues, why does he need his lawyers to speak for him?
His lawyer who is also under investigation by the FBI.
