(1,305 posts)With loans coming due and lenders unwilling to refinance, Trump needs to get his hands on cash before his assets get locked down by creditors or the courts. This is the perfect way for him to make that happen.

(2,431 posts)I found this out when I volunteered doing website maintenance for a non-profit cinema in 2019. Having a position on a presidential candidate is a no-no. The director was seriously considering not showing "Roger Waters: Us + Them" when it premiered. We did. Just didn't mention the wonderful anti-t*$#p sequence.

(17,086 posts)The Patriot Party was a member of the original Rainbow Coalition, formed by Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party and others to create a broad-based, multi-racial political coalition. It formed after the United Front Against Fascism conference held in Oakland, California in 1969. The coalition included the Young Lords, the Brown Berets and I Wor Kuen. Hampton's intention was to have multi-ethnic gangs working together to accomplish peaceful solutions, rather than battling each other.
The Patriot Party borrowed strategies of community organizing from the Black Panthers, with whom they were especially close. For instance, they established a Free Breakfast for Children program. The Eugene, Oregon chapter, location of the University of Oregon, garnered much community support with their "Free Lumber" program. At this time in the Northwest, some poor people still relied on wood-stoves for cooking and heating, and cheap wood was hard to come by.[1]
In 1970 the FBI arrested the entire central committee of the Patriot Party[who?] and charged them with various felonies[2]. They later dropped the charges but, by the mid-1970s, the FBI's COINTELPRO program had effectively suppressed the organization.

Even the Trump campaign is disavowing this:

(1,442 posts)Yes, siphon off those Republican voters! Attract the Republican Party's most violent members, and make it easier for us to identify them! And, while they're at it, they just might get a few elected Republicans to switch their party affiliation!

(3,859 posts)But that's OK. They'll take about 40% of the GOP and open the door for Democrats to get control of most state legislatures, governorships and expand their control in Congress.
Yeah, let's talk about unity but lets take advantage of gifts being given to the Democratic party on a silver platter and say, yes, thank you!

Don't these people ever do their homework, or do they just presume that almighty Trump will just bully his way into use of the name? Like he appropriated artist's music for his rallies?
Did they buy the name?

(25,356 posts)If he runs into trademark issues all he has to do is change the name to Patriots Party or something.
I'm not sure how this works.....

(25,356 posts)Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. ('DJTFP') is filing this miscellaneous report under 11 C.F.R. 102.13 and100.3(a)(3) to disavow the activities of a committee named Patriot Party (FEC ID No. C00767095), whose listed Treasureris Michael Joseph Gaul, 4004 Rosedale Place, Grovetown, GA 30813.On January 22, 2021, Patriot Party filed a Form 1 (Statement of Organization) listing DJTFP as a participant inpurported joint fundraising activities under 11 C.F.R. 102.17. DJTFP did not authorize the filing of this Form 1, hasnot entered into any joint fundraising agreement to fundraise through Patriot Party, and has no knowledge of PatriotParty's activities whatsoever. To be clear: DJTFP has no affiliation with Patriot Party, which is not authorized by Mr.Trump or DJTFP.DJTFP is placing this disavowal notice on the public record out of concern for confusion among the public, which may bemisled to believe that Patriot Party's activities have been authorized by Mr. Trump or DJTFP -- or that contributions tothis unauthorized committee are being made to DJTFP -- when that is not true
It appears that anyone can just go to the FEC website and create an electronic filing. It's kinda scary when you think about it.
There was another one started yesterday: MAGA Patriot Party. The filer lists his address as a home which sold July 6, 2020 for $117,000. The filer is a renter. The home is owned by: ITS IN THE SKY LLC. Property records show that the home is constantly being flipped. Google Street View from 2011 shows the house for sale, with some warning posted on a window...
The Trump campaign also filed a disavow for MAGA Patriot Party.
