But sure let's give the rapist who continues to paraphrase Hitler another term.

Yet again confirms what we already knew about this degenerate crime family. First their fraudulent "university" is forced to shut down, then their fraudulent "charity," and now their whole fraudulent business empire. The lot of them should take a hint from Tucker Carlson and swap their citizenship to Russia already, where this type of criminality is welcomed. Barron can stick around as long as he stays out of politics.

All this complaining and he wasn't even permanent banned like the other guys.

The most hilarious part during this trial was when the Trump administration brought forth a professor (Eli Bartov) who said there was no fraud... But admitted the errors in the bookkeeping the organization was being suited for in the first place.
... And it turned out he was payed by the organization nearly 900'000 dollars for looking into the matter
(source: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/18/tru... acknowledged,rather than fraudulent, he said.). Money well spent.

Runner up moments were when Eric and junior admitted they didn't know a thing of finance in the company they were supposed to be running. And of course Donald, who at the same time claimed not to have done anything wrong as well as it being legal to lie to banks about your asset value.


Did Weisselberg end up pleading guilty? Iirc it was the whole reason this whole conclusion took an extra two weeks.

Why is there always someone who is defending Trump, even if he's a rapist? I'm not from the US and I guess this is the reason why I cannot understand it. In my country someone who is raping women and saying things like "grab 'em by the pussy" wouldn't even be able to run for Presidency. It really disturbs me honestly that a guy with qualities like Trump even stands the slightest chance of becoming the President of the USA, again. Especially after what we've all been able to witness from the last time he was in that position.

So, I guess my question is: What's wrong with his supporters? Have their parents bathed them too hot while they were young, or did they drop them on their heads? Seriously, what does this man need to do until he's no longer supported by anybody? Would eating little children in public be enough? I guess lying and defrauding isn't enough. Even being a rapist and a sexist idiot isn't enough. Hell even being a Russian puppet isn't enough. At this point it's pretty obvious that Russia has a lot of Kompromat against Trump and their "investments" seem to pay off nicely. It's so absurd. Sometimes I feel like we are living in a clown world and Trump is the leader.

JFC ... Trump supporters cannot be serious. Maybe some people just want to watch the world burn no matter the price?

What a rapey rapist. Lock that disgusting fuck behind bars already, I'm tired of him being 'punished' with money amounts.

Because he got away with everything up until now, when he already has one foot in the grave. His supporters are under the delusion that he might grant them that same sort of shield from accountability and personal responsibility, but only being born into obscene wealth can grant them that.

People will continue to whine and gripe that everything is a witch hunt, and say he's completely innocent because he's repeated that lie so many times that their brains have been beaten into submission to believe it.

It still amazes me the things that they actually KNOW he did, and still choose to ignore it.
- Stealing from a children's charity? Yep!
- Admitting on tape that he grabs women's pussies and moves on married women like a bitch? Check!
- Cheated on ALL of his wives. We all make mistakes.
- Openly insulted gold star families? Yep, yep!
- Openly insulted war heroes? Right there on the tapes.
- Said he wanted to suspend the constitution? Right there in his tweets!
- Quoted Hitler and Mussolini, and said he wanted to be a dictator? Oh, it's him joking.
- Gave his idiot family positions in the Whitehouse? You better believe it!
- Pardoned his buddies with the power of the presidency? Check!
- Never goes to church. Can't quote a single passage. Is obviously not a Christian in any way. Praise Jebus!
- Didn't divest from his businesses while being president? He's a businessman! You can't take that away from him!

The list goes on and on and on! Again, these are things that NOBODY denies. He did ALL of these things, but they still are so damn brainwashed that they ignore them all. It is by far the most successful brainwashing ever in human history.

Disgusting rapists like him deserve to be locked up in jail for the rest of his life. Let him rot to death.

I'm good with all of his assets being liquidated and returned to the economy.

Him being barred from running due his organized and documented interference in the 2020 elections should happen but it wont. SCOTUS has no morals and they care far more about $$$ than they do about things like election interference.

Sorry, but this trial was a civil one. It was about the dealings of the company being fraudulent, not Trump personally. He just happens to be the CEO of it (and thus responsible).
It's also worth noting that Carrol' didn't demand prison time, so it's not fair to expect it thus far.

Thus far... Iirc, he now has a march trial date for an actual criminal case. That outcome might not be monetary.

Yep, all correct.

For the criminal trial, it's set for March 25th. That's the case of illegally using his campaign funds to pay off different women that he slept with. The interesting thing with this last case involving fraud is that they found Trump's ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, to be a credible witness. Which means that he can easily be used in this case as well, as someone with insider information about the payments.

The other criminal trials are playing bumper-cars for the next in line. One is being kept in a form of limbo until the SCOTUS rules (Or chooses not to) on Trump's insane presidential immunity claim. The judges between the cases are fully allowed to converse amongst themselves to try and work out schedules. So we can be sure that they'll push the most important cases to the front of the line as soon as they can.

Let’s also not forget that he was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and there’s a fuck ton of pictures of them hanging out over the years and also in Jeffrey Epstein’s documents. But sure, Trump is definitely not a rapist and pedo.

What's funny is that the MAGAs here often bring up Epstein as a gotcha while "forgetting" that Trump was his most prolific patron

Along with Bill Clinton and a number of others.

Oh, funny development - Apparently there are those who set up a GoFundMe for Trump. LMFAO

MAGA fucks think everyone else worships politicians like they worship Trump. So they think bringing up the fact that Clinton was also on the list would somehow change anything.
