The RNC reported $8,711,097 cash-on-hand on January 31, 2024 which is the most recent date I can find.

The Republican Senatorial and Congressional Committees respectively reported 18.1 million and 42.8 million for a Republican total of 69.7 million dollars.

The DNC reported 24 million, DSCC 27 million and DCCC reported 51.9 million for a total of 103 million cash-on-hand as of January 31, 2024.

I wonder if they can seize the Gofundme as well? Now at 1.3 mil.

Hard to see people giving an average of $57 each to that criminal.

Wall Street Journal Editor breaks down Trumps current financial state. Estimates he's worth about 3B with about 400m in cash, with another 300m he can leverage if he needs it. He's actually better positioned currently than he was with the economic collapse of the 1990s where he had to declare bankruptcy of his Atlantic City Casinos.



You could make the argument the greasy toad is squealing like he his (even though he has the money) simply for the political point of "they're out to get me!"

‘He’s really angry’: Michael Cohen on Trump’s reaction to his inability to make bond

On April 13th 2023 Trump gave a deposition saying he had more than 400 mill in cash and going up very substantially every month. Even Habba said he had Billions and posting a bond will be no problem. Not only a fraud but now a liar

No new information about Giuliani and others, but hearing it again still blows me away. The guy was pretty much Mr. America after 9/11. What the hell happened?

Reminds me of Theo Fluery. Didn’t know these guys were idiots. Also a lot of entertainers like Kelsie Grammer and Tim Allen. I used to enjoy Fraser and Last Man Standing.

Biden has good speechwriters. In a speech tonight he said that someone came up to him recently and complained about his crushing debt. Biden says he responded "Donald, I can't help you"

Remember Christopher Titus? A self-stated centrist/independent. He seems to have a bone to pick with Trump supporters. If he's indicative of the independent voter, we may have hope.

*In a Dennis Miller voice* "Now I don't want to get on a rant here..."

This is a perfect summary and an epic rant. NSFW for a few curse words.

NSFW!

'One of them is lying': Experts warn Trump his $500M claim directly contradicts lawyers

Quote:
"Tump now claims that he has almost $500 million in cash, but his lawyers recently told the appellate court that he has no means to post a $454 million bond. One of them is lying, and you can expect the court to ask Trump’s lawyers about this," Mariotti wrote in a post to X.

The New York Times' Maggie Haberman also commented on the contradiction.

"Trump here appears to be saying he has the cash for the bond his folks have indicated he doesn’t have and therefore dozens of companies turned him down (and that he planned to self-fund the campaign, which is also a new claim)," she wrote.

Legal analyst Norm Eisen pointed out that Trump's own words may come back to haunt him.

"This is so dumb — now he can’t claim hardship to get a stay," he wrote on X. "AG Tish James can help herself, including to this supposed money!"

Many will find it interesting to see if McDaniel provides NBC with a Trump loyalist voice. Michael Steele, another former RNC chair on MSNBC's roster, has become one of its most reliably anti-GOP figures. Nicolle Wallace, a former George W. Bush aide, has become one of its most sharply left-wing voices as well.

Most news outlets need commentators from each side of the left and right. Its not easy to find one from the right who isn't a serial liar/Trump supporter/same thing?

So a new bill passed in the Senate today that further confirms that the "stronger" words they've been using lately regarding the situation in Gaza, are indeed just words. The bill ratifies the de-funding of UNRWA but reading the bill further, the US is also sending $3.8 billion to Israel, just to further express their loyalty to Israel.

But perhaps even more evil, was the part where the US threatens to also cut aid to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, if “the Palestinians initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) judicially authorized investigation, or actively supports such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians.”

So, extortion, that the US will cut any and all aid, if the Palestinians even support any investigation of Israel for what's happening. Isn't this the sort of behaviour that America condemns, when other countries threaten the sovereignty of another, from making their own decisions?

No, they really, really don't.

To paraphrase something I once read, if you have a liberal telling you it's raining and a conservative telling you it's sunny, your job as a journalist isn't to give them both equal air time in the interest of "fairness". Your job is to go outside and find out what the weather actually is.
