Meetup site payment

Hi Trip,

Since they had technically cancelled it while waiting for us to renew, I was able to renew our Meetup subscription at a significantly reduced price.

Hopefully they will not try to override this on the grounds that the discount was only for new subscribers – their usual rates are very overpriced in my view; this brings the charge down to a more reasonable amount, at least for a year. The renewal seems to have processed, as I logged in and our groups appear active.

If it stands, I will reimburse the LPSF for the $170 difference between this $130 rate and the $300 check you gave me to reimburse me for the renewal at the “normal” rate.

Love & Liberty,

Starchild & Trip_S & RickySpeed ,

  1. WHY is there no Budget / Balance item for the US$ amount currently held in the LPSF coffers/warchest in the recent minutes Ricky published from October* given the recent disbursements ?
  2. WHY did Trip_S’s proposal — put forth, discussed & unanimously approved — NOT include the COSTS for absurd futile activities & ventures ?

Since libertarian-minded — fiscally-responsibleMaryAnne Spinner** noted astutely in the Chicago Trib at the time that the cost to ALL US TaxPayers for these pointless ineffective if not profoundly evidently counterproductive circus stunts [ #45 did get re-elected as #47, in case no one noticed — “Trump’s second & current tenure as the president of the United States began upon his inauguration as the 47th president on January 20, 2025 ]. Do y’all reckon that more daily ad nauseam broadcasts of his name — every day, drowning out mentions & coverage of opponents, will hurt a 3rd Term Bid for TRUMP ? ) remain unknown — SECRET —, why does the LPSF support more waste of US Workers’ & Business Owners’ Earnings & Savings ? Furthermore, did Starchild & Trip_S & RickySpeed suggest how much the LPSF — or the three of them themselves from their own individual savings — would contribute to finding & pay for competent attorneys to get the job done more efficiently & effectively this time ( instead of just — more fiscally-responsibly — fielding a LPSF candidate to run for potus in 2028 )?

  1. To that end, WHY doesn’t Trip_S run for potus 2028 instead spreading himself too thin on other candidacies & wasting time on impotent resolutions which will mar his future candidacies ?

** Neither [ Trump ] impeachment [ for the first time on December 18, 2019 & for the second time on January 13, 2021 ] resulted in a conviction, rendering them exercises in futility. And while Trump pays for his personal legal fees, we taxpayers were on the hook for the two impeachment proceedings. This has nothing to do with charity unless you consider our tax payments to be such.
