Judge dismisses Trump's lawsuit, allowing NY probe to go on

[onthedarkside]

 

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge on Friday dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, allowing her civil investigation into his business practices to continue.

 

In a 43-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes said she based her decision on case law that, in most cases, bars federal judges from interfering in state-level investigations.

 

Sannes’ ruling came a day after a New York appeals court ruled that Trump must answer questions under oath in James’ probe, upholding a lower-court ruling requiring him to sit for a deposition.

And Trump is now using the murders of the children as part of his campaign with Cruz blaming the murders on absent fathers, video games etc- anything but guns!

I read about  that this morning and his rallying call at the NRA conference. What a disgusting piece of human excrement that man is and those who support him.

Does miss the point if you take away the guns from the good guys and the bad guys, leaving them only in the hands of law enforcement and criminals, there is a statistically significant reduction in the number of gun-related homicides and suicides.

 

That's the way it has panned out in civilized countries, where gun ownership is a privilege, not a right.

I saw a video of his "speach" on BBC World.

 

The man is a disgusting, amoral, political charlatan. As foul a creature as one could imagine.

The Washington Post reported that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was one of several lawmakers who wrote to the Biden administration in September demanding an end to the embargo on Russian ammunition imports.

 

The sanctions were first imposed in response to the 2020 poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny with the nerve agent Novichok.

Cruz is from the same mould as Trump. He reminds me of something that slithers away if you lift up a large flat stone in a dark damp place .

I think it is pretty well known Trump is in Putin's pocket, I wasn't aware Cruz was cut from the same cloth.

Just imagine what would have happened if Trump had got a second term, he'd probably be cheering Putin on in Ukraine, and refusing any support for the Ukrainians and NATO. What a narrow escape the world has had.

Sadly, there are many to fill his shoes who may be a little smarter and not offend so many people or just lie better.

Trump Does a Little Dance at NRA Gun Celebration Days After Uvalde Massacre

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trump-does-little-dance-nra-235427523.html

 

Trump echoed Republican lawmakers and conservative pundits by bashing Democrats and  blaming the shooting on everything but guns, and proposing a series of impractical solutions to the epidemic of mass shootings in America, before going on a tirade about how he was cheated in the 2020 election. 

Trumps list of solutions did not include gun reform, of course, which Trump claimed would have done nothing to stop the shooter in Uvalde — despite the shooter having bought two assault rifles just after his 18th birthday earlier this month.

He then said teachers should be carrying guns, to loud applause. 

The United States of idiots is in big trouble.

I think in one of the school shootings a teacher actually engage the shooter with a glock and got killed because the shooter had an AR 15. Did trump intend the teachers to use body armor and carry assault rifles?

If you were to ask him the question, he would probably say yes.

Trump is a cunning sociopath who found out appealing to the basest instincts of Americans paid off handsomely in terms of donations and votes, there is no reason for him to change what is successful.

The irony is, most of the demographic he gets donations and votes from don't realize they are not his supporters, but his victims.

Trump isn’t stupid but he has a deep understanding of what the stupid people want to hear. 

He has no guiding philosophy or beliefs.
All he has ever cared about is money, big breasts and himself.

Can't help but wonder if any other political figure, from any party, was obsessively investigated by all justice departments for six years, would come out looking squeaky clean as Trump has? To find no skeletons in the closet after such harassment by prosecutors must be so embarrassing. I'm guessing when it's Biden's turn for the same treatment he will not fare so well.

Squeaky clean? How many bankruptcies so far? How many lawyers have walked away from defending him?

 

You obviously don't understand how legal defenses for very "rich" people work, employ platoons of lawyers, bury the prosecutors in dumpster loads of documents, divert campaign funds to pay the lawyers. That's why it takes so long.

 

Perhaps you have forgotten how Trump, during his presidency, played golf on his own properties, then billed the American taxpayer for the Secret Service detailed to protect him, at the height of the pandemic. Comparisons with Nero are obvious.

 

Trump is as crooked as a dog's hind leg, anyone with a grain of sense knows that. A guy who prides himself publicly in dudding contractors who have worked on his properties.

Even if such protection were feasible and effective, which is dubious why is it a matter of either/or?

There is ample evidence that NY State, Georgia Stare and the DoJ have ongoing investigations and Grand Juries examining Trump and many of those who were in Trump’s administration.

 

Why this has received so little press coverage is a mystery.

 

However, next month the Congressional investigation into the events of January 6 goes to live TV, the game is about to change pace.

"Why this has received so little press coverage is a mystery."

 

 After crying wolf a hundred thousand times and further destroying their credibility each time, there comes a limit where even the most hateful anti Trump media outlets throws in the towel.

 

 No idea what exact crime this latest witch hunt is claiming to have found, and care even less. Trump has been the victim of harassment and false defamatory smears for years now, it is very boring.

 

 Not long ago he was looking at some horrific charges. Such as negligent homicide charges, one count for each covid victim, don't hear much of that one lately thanks to many times more dying of covid on Biden's watch. Treason for having colluded with Putin to cheat in the 2016 election. Real crimes. Now from what I see - as above in this thread - he is accused of (are you sitting down?) having gone bankrupt decades ago, had some agents sleeping at his hotel when he was playing a round of golf, some unspecified dispute with contractors working for him. You get the gist I'm sure. It's over. He is the most investigated man in history and they couldn't find anything worthy of charges.

Oh right, so NY State, Georgia State and the DoJ are not well down the road in their investigations of Trump’s crimes you claim were ‘crying wolf’.
