That’s why I propose in the podcast setting up a large legal defense project …. Would require a lot of pro bono legal work and and funding. But I think it can be done. More lawyers need to get onto defending the rule of law.

Therein lies the rub. Most people can’t afford to fight. He’s been bankrupting people since the 70s.

If you can’t in this small group how will we ever win to get our country back…,

I know the premise is a bipartisan fund, but it’s obviously the GOP, who potentially stand up to Trump, who’ll be primaried for a MAGA loyalist that will need campaign funding
Ironic, Dems donating money to non-MAGA Republicans so they can vote their actual conscience
These people shouldn’t have to go in hiding! It’s the other way around! Glennon Doyle is another organizer and advocate. Get her, The Lincoln Project and ACLU to collaborate
Where’s the sports bros? Fashion bros? Car bros? Hollywood bros?
Strangely, Cuban is not on this list. Starts with Blank, Bloomberg, Doerr, Goldman, Glazer, Hoffman, Hale, Hostetter
I'd make monthly contributions for something like this.
Democratize activism– everyone contributes =, regardless of $
Amplify voices–time investment prioritizes humanity over wealth
Starve $ violence– weakens systems reliant on exploiting disparities
I need to know that 99.9% of the money is going to the cause. We might also look for lawyers willing to volunteer and or fee cuts. FYI Josh long time reader and subscriber of TPM. Cheers Norm
If everyone is fair game to Trump then how long before a working class American who offends him finds him or herself a target?
A poor person will never be able to afford to sue unless a good lawyer agrees to help pro bono.
some lawyers will do pro bono work
enough to protect people targeted by Trump/Bondi/Patel?
sorry to say but Trump has a learning curve too
his cognitive failings real but still downstream of malice
if Biden issues a bunch of pardons he should be very forthright about explaining his reasoning, his view of the pardon power, and the basis for his concerns re Trump, if he can't/won't he should hold off
I will donate tomorrow.
These aren't normal times.
What?

Or is it better to establish a specific legal group on it's own?
vs. A “defense fund”? Non-profit; pro bono?
That’s a pea shooter strategy.
I hope you can manifest such a group, George, because we need it desperately.
“Faith without works is dead.”
We can either run the clock out on his dementia or term with him accomplishing almost nothing yet again.
We also may need an underground railroad to slip people up to Canada.
Fate? That once again Josiah Henson's home be the goal?
I respect your right to an opinion, and you do you, but you're wrong sir.
Maybe more important things.
Fighting for freedom when you could have been guaranteed freedom seems... Unnecessary?
A national goal of 50 hours/year is “recommended”.
100 hours should be REQUIRED.

Not the same as what you are proposing, but imagine if all states required that.
That's a LOT of law students who could/would want to assist.
Agreed it would be a step up from the status quo.
Or would centralizing this effort under the ACLU (or another existing group) work? (If the answer is "no," don't yell at me--I'm just asking...)
This using the DOJ to go after one's enemies should never even be a thing.
But here we are.
Run out the clock! Make any cases get thrown out for dirt on the prosecution, find things “wrong” with the Republican judges, take hold of the media and proactively accuse, accuse, accuse. What else does he do?
And go on the offensive and sue!
Many of the protections afforded defendants in our criminal justice system are only effectively available to those who can afford them.
Keeping some kind of record of all this misbehavior could be a key to strengthening the evolution of U demographic after Trump.

1) the population will literally buy into some sort of defence fund as will mega donors without fear of retribution
2) that the judicial system will remain as is without substantial interference from the Trump regime
Good luck with both more difficult than conceived
If there are so many Trump enemies, there should be a class action suit.
#DemocracyDefenseFund
Other ppl can recruit pro bono lawyers, others can be the point person to field appeals for help etc. Meidas Touch has a long reach and I am already giving them money.
I pay for a subscription to them on Sub Stack (I think that's the platform) and in fact is is the only thing on the internet I pay for. I support them by being a paid subscriber. I trust them, if you rant the large legal defense fund through Meidas I would give.
I’m starting with the Fed bar exam, which is now just a seminar and $199 in OH.

Point is there are plenty of sources of $ to do this.
We imagine they want to return to the 50's.
They do. But it's the 1760's.

I can see the DOJ seizing the funds per an executive order, or going after the administrators.
If someone doesn’t want a pardon they don’t have to accept it, but save those who do.
It’s time some left leaning billionaires who’d like to keep democracy in USA step up and help fill the coffers of this defence fund ! If Elon musk can spend $270 million to help Trump get elected then fair is fair.
Exclud Impeach, the President's pardon power is Unlimited.
The 10 CT found acceptance not legal admission of guilt.
As for the SC, they put themselves in a box by granting Pres immunity.
Joe can & should do all he can to remove trump's retribution.
Drop 800 at 11am on 1/20.
What makes you think he won't bankrupt the country.
