“Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT,” Trump wrote

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced on social media he’s searching for a new law firm to represent him in an appeal against last week’s jury verdict awarding $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.

He left a message to prospective hires in the Truth Social post, writing: “Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT.” The former president’s announcement follows his vow to appeal the jury’s decision last Friday, predicated by the presiding federal judge’s September ruling finding him liable for defamation.

    I live in one of the handful of “states that matter” in the electoral college and in 2022 we broke so blue it’s amazing. The GOP here is dead broke and has fallen to infighting. I’m not even sure they’ve worked out who’s in charge after the former leader refused to accept the validity of the vote kicking her out. We are prosecuting fake electors.

    It’s almost ridiculous how hard Trump is going to lose Michigan. That’s not the whole election, but it’s a big piece.

      It’s certainly looking positive up there. But those Trump voters are still there, and will still go vote for his fascism. You may not see them until then, but they are there. They also tend to not be involved in the rest of the GOP.

      All that he needs to do to win Michigan is convince enough people that he can’t/won’t win.
