Donald Trump's day so far:

[ancianita]

- Loses New York fraud trial
- Massive financial penalties incoming
- Goodbye Trump Org!
- Trump's NY business licenses being revoked
- Four Trump criminal trials still coming
- Trump is going to prison

It's still only 5:30 pm.

Trump's life so far:

[JohnSJ]

1. and the number one republican candidate for president, because he represents them.

[ancianita]

3. Okay, cool. Sure. Except I'd say that's how THEIR day is going.

Once he's gone by next June, they'll be looking for a new nominee in July.

[JohnSJ]

8. Perhaps, but their embrace and allegiance to Trump, not only by republicans in Congress, but

also reflected by the republican polls, indicate that will not change. If it was going to change it would have happened after Jan 6th, and the fact that they doubled down indicate they will stand with Trump to the end

The Republican base believes all the lies pushed by Trump and his cronies, thanks in no small part to the MSM and trump’s cronies.

I don’t see that changing, and even right wing republicans, such as Liz Cheney, Romney, and Cassidy Hutchinson don’t believe that will change before the next election, and I agree.

There is a real threat of violence from rethugs in 2024

[rubbersole]

14. And decent America says bring it on.

[JohnSJ]

16. As long as they vote, I agree

[paleotn]

17. Bingo. +1000

[housecat]

20. There are alternatives: prison or death, with or without assistance.

[JohnSJ]

24. He won't be in prison before the election, if ever, found guilty or not. Not sure about his

demise, but I wouldn’t count on that either.

[housecat]

27. We shall see. The demise option is very possible -- not counting on it, just waiting.

[Beartracks]

50. Just how lazy ARE Republican voters, anyway?

I mean, if you're not hardcore MAGA, what's the rationale? "Meh, I guess Trump's okay. I voted for him last time, cuz he was the Republican, so I guess I'll do it again. He can't *really* be that bad, can he?"



The GOP thanks you, Republican voters, for your gullibility. Yes, he *can* be that bad, and they count on your incredulity.

============

[RKP5637]

2. And the GOP's top pick for president! Guess he more than met the GOP's threshold for Family Values!

[Hekate]

4. Great update. I've missed most of the news today, & this is very heartening indeed.

[malaise]

5. Fabulous OP

Rec😀

[ancianita]

6. No, YOU!

[BigmanPigman]

7. Someone needs to match that list with the 12 Days of Xmas lyrics and tune

[ancianita]

9. Love ya, bp, but Trump & Xmas in the same song just doesn't work for me.

I don't even want ANY of American culture with his name in it, but if you want a song theme, let it be the Grinch song...

"You're a Loser, Mr Trump...
You're a Liar, Mr. Trump...
You're a fraudster, Mr. Trump...

stuff like that.

[BigmanPigman]

40. I make my own Christmas cards most years

and the one I made for 2016 featured tRump's green face in stead of the Grinch's with Trump Tower behind him and inside I had a picture of a fruitcake (tRump's as nutty as a fruitcake). I am especially proud of that year's card.

[ancianita]

41. That's what I call

art, and quite creative of you! There's a level of understanding trump that everyone can see in the grinch who lives to steal what's good, beautiful and true -- not to mention fruitcake, which can sit thick as a brick, and not for everyone. I love it.

Maybe the country will get a Christmas miracle this or next year.

[BigmanPigman]

42. I sent that card to my only GOP friend(we went to the same art school)

I got a return card saying not to send her such terrible misconceptions about her dear leader (really, she did say this). My sister hadn't spoken to her for years since she is a right wing, hypocritical nut. That was the last time I ever corresponded with her even though she continued to send me birthday cards for a couple of years. She lives in Shasta, CA, home of the tRump lovers of the state.

11. This is fun reading

[ancianita]

12. Indeed! I'm not bothered that he's dragged his children down with him. Wish

I could copy/paste the pdf parts that reveal that. In their adult years, they could have chosen better, and they chose wrong.

Thanks for your post!

[Grins]

13. "Dad" must be so proud of his son..... NM

[Warpy]

15. Most commercial buildings are underassessed and overinsured

but the going rate is 10%-15%, depending on the property. TFG was inflating his crap by a factor of 200=300%, complete with fantasy square footage per floor and stories that didn't exist anywhere but on the paperwork he was showing to bankers.

He was WAY over the line between chisling and fraud. Will it net him jail time? Dunno. White collar crime usually results in fines and slaps on the wrists, white collar criminals being considered somehow more important than petty criminals shoplifting at Kroger.

[ancianita]

18. Thank you for the details. I hear you.

Pretty sure that this civil suit will force huge settlements to the state of NY and banning of any of his or his children's business in that state again.

That state, the financial center of the world, is done with him.

He had to go abroad decades ago to get loans, which took him to mafia Putin and that particular oligarch network. He was totally comfortable with that, given his Cohen training.

He's managed to give business a bad name, and any of his connections with businesses or oligarchs will probably fade away, since they don't want the taint.

I wish he'd die penniless. But eventually his only way to not die poor is to sell off his many real estate holdings in other jurisdictions. Just the upkeep of Mar-a-lago will cost more than he'll be making in the next few years. I mean, who in their right mind would even want to be a member of that club now, right?

[Warpy]

22. Reports say he's signed Mara Lardo over to Junior

who will undoubtedly run it into the ground just before climate change sinks it forever. It has gone back to what it was before the heady days of rubbing elbows with mobsters and spies while Donny did crooked deals over his two scoops. Now it's all the usual Palm Beach crowd, most of 'em older than god. Richer, too. Just boring.

[ancianita]

26. Ah, right! I'd forgotten.

Yep. But his ol' billionaire neighbors don't want their land values to go down, so they won't be having his back. Dark days ahead for fraudfather.

[forgotmylogin]

19. ...And a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeee!

(If the partridge is a felon and the pear tree is prison.)

[Sugarcoated]

21. I thought it was up over forty

Sexual assaults and rape accusations.

[ancianita]

25. Could be. He's been so busy it's been hard to keep count, right?

I figure that if the rest is accurate, I'll go with that number. If you've got links that make it more accurate, cool.

[Sugarcoated]

29. He's up in Cosby territory

[Shermann]

23. .500 record in presidential elections

.000 record in winning the popular vote in presidential elections

[AverageOldGuy]

28. NY banks

As I understand it, the judgement against Trump in NY means NY banks are prohibited from lending money to any of the organizations or individuals named in the suit for a number of years.

Unless I missed it, the only members of the Trump family involved are Trump and Eric, the dumb one.

I can hardly wait for the court to seize Trump Tower and turn it into low-income housing.

[ancianita]

32. YES!

Good points. Nothing should remain in New York with the Trump name on it. Trump's got a mansion in Westchester, but not sure if it's connected to the family business.

It will be interesting to see if his kids even stay in NY after this. Ivanka, Jared and kids live in Noho, I think, and they still have two homes on that billionaire island in FL. Don, Jr & Guilfoyle live in Jupiter, FL, but have a house in the Hamptons on Long Island. Not sure if they'll want to live there, if their money isn't connected to the Trump family business. Eric lives in the Trump Nat'l Golf Club in FL. When Trump Tower is sold off, I imagine Barron's floor might still be okay.

So overall, the family's got their feet out the door, anyway.

[HighFired49]

49. Even better-

Turn it into refugee housing. NYC has been really pressed for places to house refugees sent from Texass, and it seems to me that Trump Tower (and all of his other residential properties) would be a perfect, appropriate place to house them.

[NNadir]

31. I'd love to rec this thread, but right now it has 91 recs, equaling indictments.

[ancianita]

33. lol don't let the loser's taint rub off!

We're looking ahead to least a few more good days like this.

[NNadir]

34. OK, it's up to 98; I'll make it 99. Hopefully more indictments will come.

[NNadir]

35. I mean 100.

[ancianita]

36. I'm honored, NNadir.

38. HI-larious

Because it's true!

[Blue Owl]

39. Suck it Donny you fat piece of shit

[Justice matters.]

43. 1 Sexual assault conviction (E. Jean Carroll's case)

In the old days, that would have been called a Rape conviction, and the Republican party is all fine with it by favoring that mass-murdering (COVID-negligent) crook for leading their corrupt party...

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

44. It wasn't a conviction

Because it wasn't a criminal trial prosecuted by the state. It was a civil trial, so it was a ruling in favor of the plaintiff, the person suing him.

It sucks that it wasn't a criminal conviction, but accuracy matters more than our feelings.

[raging moderate]

45. Why are Ivanka and Jared not included here?

Did Don Jr. and Eric cross some line that Ivanka and Jared avoided?

[ancianita]

47. Good question. I'm guessing that it has to do with who Trump chose to place

in official Trump Org positions, and so their culpability is official, whereas she and Jared could have done other things for the family that fell on the other side of the legal line.

[sellitman]

46. Yet he is up over Biden by 10% in the Polls

Sure he is.
