Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Supposedly.

Judges tend to ignore their self-imposed deadlines if they become inconvenient. Or so I hear.

300+ million dollar fine in the NYC case

370!

i havent been keeping a total all the money hes been ordered to pay but it seems like a lot

He's going to have to look in the sofa cushions

Or send out a few more emails

banned from new york for 3 years.

Should be a physical ban imo

yeah, banned from doing business for 3 years. i guess he could still go catch a broadway show.

The former president denied any wrongdoing, calling the case "a fraud on me."

President Diarrhea and his lick spittles consistently whine and moan about how he is being treated unfairly, unlawfully, the deep state is fucking him and real murricans over…

But if you, and only you, an individual participating in ILX who hates Pres Diarrhea and MAGS fuckheads and their cretinous culture with every fiber of your being, found out that there was indeed a deep state conspiracy, which uses unfair/unlawful means to prevent him from assuming the presidency again, would you approve of it? This would mean that he would be irrelevant going forward from now until the day he suffers a grotesque and painful malady resulting in his death. Would you be okay with him being rendered ineffective by completely illegal subterfuge?

* lady gaga voice *

FRAUD. ON. ME.

xp Yes, I believe I would.

If I correctly understand what I just heard reported on MSNBC, the ruling bars Trump from obtaining any loans from any bank or business which is licensed to do business in New York state for a period of 3 years. That will totally screw over his ability to pay judgments against him without liquidating large amounts of his assets.

Oh darn!

Especially since IIRC if he wants to appeal he has to put up the amount fined within 30 days.

Would you be okay with him being rendered ineffective by completely illegal subterfuge?

Show me some illegal subterfuge and then I'll consider what it means to me.

Fraud on me vs Down on Me vs Crazy on on You...

Any word on whether he will ever actually pay anything out as a result of these fines/judgments/rulings?

I know that it is not good news for him, but I just want to make sure he suffers, instead of kicking the can down the road endlessly.

With any luck, the stress will kill him.

Any word on whether he will ever actually pay anything out as a result of these fines/judgments/rulings?

of course not that's what the RNC is for

Further thought: It's interesting that all these cases and appeals and fines and civil judgments are being handled by his lawyers. Lawyers that he has no intention of paying, ever.

Motherfucker needs some goddamn consequences

This, of course, will only cause his cult to rally around him even more fervently. Thus, this is Bad News For Joe Biden.

"Fraud On Me" was R.E.M.'s best single to date imo

greasy crappy people yelling chants

^^ to the tune of "Shiny Happy People"

dying

We already guessed, Alfred

"During a monumental election year for the GOP, Trump has effectively taken over the Republican National Committee, a bid to ensure that the national fundraising juggernaut will chiefly serve him, and not other Republican efforts."

I suppose the complete destruction of the GOP is a lot to hope for, but....

his dumbass boys were fined 4 million each, and also banned from running things for 2 years.

Of course he's not beaten, yet, but this ruling strikes very hard at the foundations of his power and best of all, like the Carroll judgments, it isn't being conducted through the federal courts. So, may I be pardoned if just for this moment I pump my fist and shout WOO-HOOOOOO!

right there with ya man

350 + 83 for the Jean Carrol case, is 433 million a lot

but I thought he's rich

So wait a minute, the thing about not doing business with any banks licensed to do business in NY…. that would be most (all?) major banks right?

If you think about it, there's no better way for him to prove his wealth than to just pay out, right?

let's just say that the walls of his dining room are not safe from his next meal

Every plate he throws at the wall will just be $5 less to sell on eBay.

would any of this have been investigated had he not decided to run for president?

Almost certainly not.

His pattern was buying off people who sued on the one hand and on the other trying to hide in plain sight in terms of his own dealings. He wanted the fame ticket, he got it, and here we are.

This may already be old news to US readers, but for this Britishes I found it a pretty useful summary of Trump's finances and his ability to pay out:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68175846

who gets to be the court-appointed monitor who has to look after all of Trump's finances in New York? that oughta be a fun job! maybe they give it to someone in nyc government as punishment.

i must have missed this but that monitor - a former judge - played a big role in the ruling today. proving that that Trump was just going to keep doing his lying thing.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-organization-monitor-flags-errors-financial-misstatements-ahead/story?id=106737467

that would be most (all?) major banks right?

NY and London are the financial capitols of the world and any bank willing to grant an individual loan of that magnitude is almost certainly going to have a license to operate in NY. All this will become clearer as the ruling takes full effect. This won't destroy him, but it will hurt him in a very real way.

greasy crappy people yelling chants

because throwback hilarity/applause is whenever you get to it, i hereby entype this standing LOL

deutschebank you fuckin bitches, we’re waiting

You just know that from now to the day he dies, Trump will call NY Attorney General James several bad names every time he opens his mouth in public, and probably in private, too.

adjusting for inflation that's almost the entirety of his original inheritance, the poor fella. how unfair

he had, like, zero dollars before he did his reality game show. he's just going back to his 90s roots of penniless grifter windbag who pretends to be rich.

ready for the NFT of him as a penniless hobo with fingerless gloves and a cigar stub
