  1. Easy to root against criminals and liars like Trump. Can't comprehend why anyone would root for him. Sadly, some fall for the misinformation and do root for him. Read this. Absolutely amazing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_business_legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump
  2. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/s-going-trump-faces-hurdles-securing-appeal-bond-fraud-case-rcna139861 Trump on Friday was ordered to pay about $355 million in penalties, plus more than $98 million in interest after a judge found the former president liable for fraud for manipulating financial statements given to lenders. Every day, the accruing interest adds $87,502 to Trump’s bill. Unless he wants to pay the entire penalty while his expected appeal is considered, Trump will need to post an appeal bond. This is typically up to 120% of the judgment plus the current interest. At that rate, Trump’s original ruling with interest would indicate he will need to secure a bond worth more than $540 million. But it’s unlikely that the real estate baron will be able to use his properties as collateral.
  3. From your article. You seem to be only looking for articles that claim these were no victims.
  4. If they break the law, yes. Sadly, Republicans go after dems even if they didn't break the law.
  5. Sad you don't hope the best for the American people.
  6. The wheels of justice move slowly. But they are now catching up to Trump. Proves our legal system still works.
  7. Not sure the innocent civilians in Ukraine want us to pull the plug
  8. A lot of stuff on Twitter is fake news and misinformation. Same with many other social media sites.
  9. My goto news channels covered it well. Also showing misinformation on various media outlets about this.
  10. But there are victims. Lots. Including the lenders who should have made more profit. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/16/nyregion/trump-fraud-trial-ny-law.html Mr. Trump’s conduct “distorts the market,” Kevin Wallace, a lawyer for Ms. James’s office, said during closing arguments in the civil fraud trial. “It prices out honest borrowers and can lead to more catastrophic results,” Mr. Wallace said, adding, “That’s why it’s important for the court to take the steps to protect the marketplace to prevent this from happening again.”
  11. Not interesting. Social media sites are the worst place to get your news.
  12. We took a boat from Koh Lanta to Lipe a few years ago. The "captain" had long scraggly hair, lots of tats, dirty clothes, and...was smoking as they loaded big cans of petrol onboard. Guaranteed, no license or certification. The boat looked homemade and no one was forced to wear a life vest. A horrible ride.
  13. What he did is well documented. Thus, the huge fine. I've been in real estate for decades. It's an extremely dodgy area. And those who get caught pay the price. As should be the case. Trump is well known for his dodgy real estate deals going back for decades. His scams are numerous along with his lies. Thus, the thousands of lawsuits against him, his family and his companies. All well documented except on the far right media outlets.
  14. Google doesn't lie. Dodgy websites it references do.
  15. You're seriously saying this? Totally lost the plot.
  16. Better than the lies from the MAGA politicians
  17. MSM is way more factual than far right media outlets or social media. Even Tucker Carlson's lawyers admit he doesn't tell the truth
  18. Give us a credible link proving your allegations or.....bs
  19. I go with the facts. But when you bash msm, you show your true colors. MAGA through and through
  20. Definitely turn off the TV and find a new source for your news.
  21. Hard to argue with the MAGA folk. They don't like facts that go against what they get from dodgy media and dodgy politicians. Shows why the US is so divided. Really sad.
  22. That's why I went to Bangkok. The doctor in pattaya wanted to do an invasive procedure. At 16k baht. This doc said it was totally unnecessary and several other options were available before he'd recommend something like that.
  23. Right. That's a fire map. Not a wind map. But yes. Small hills totally block the wind.
