The Real timschochet

All right this won’t be easy to write but… It appears that Strike was correct and I got the two cases confused. The big judgment appears to be about fraud but not about tax fraud. At least I can’t find mention of it. That contradicts some political pundits I’ve heard talk about the issue. If there is no tax fraud, then the fact that the banks in question say they were not hurt could be pertinent; at least it’s not a small detail. Does this fact mean that the case should never have been prosecuted? I don’t know. I’ll have to consider that. In any case I acknowledge that Strike was right and I was wrong, it appears.

I don’t want Strike to stay out of the thread, really. He said he finds me tiring, that’s why I wrote he doesn’t need to be here. But in truth I don’t want anyone who wants to talk with me not to do so.

Then stay out of the thread. What’s tiring is your constant attempts to catch me on little details. Sometimes I get those wrong; usually not but I ain’t perfect. What I never get wrong is the big picture and YOU DO, almost all of the time. Thats why your posts are so laughable except to a few idiots around here.

It’s all related. Nearly every article on the larger judgment mentions tax fraud too.

First off I’m amazed at how much time and effort you spend trying to prove me wrong. For you, TDS stands for Timmy Derangement Syndrome, truly. Next, every respectable news outlet, without exception, continually used the words “tax fraud” to describe what the Trump organization did here. An example of dozens: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna65013 It’s in the title of the article. But hey you read 17 pages and it doesn’t use those words. Stop wasting my time with this nonsense.

I am extremely excited because Shogun premiers this week. The previews look awesome. This is my favorite novel of all time, I first read it when I was 10 and must have read it a dozen times since. The original miniseries with Richard Chamberlain was excellent for its time, but because it was in English it was only able to show things from Blackthorne’s point of view so perhaps 2/3rds of the novel was lost. This new series will have subtitles and most of it will be in Japanese. Can’t wait.

It’s amazing how many issues @Strike and @Engorgeous George get wrong. It’s not really worth arguing with them; like swatting flies. Somebody offer me some good arguments for once. Anyone?

It’s not my job to show you anything. If you disagree with the judge’s decision on this matter, then it’s up to you to quote where the judge got it wrong. Then I’ll respond to you. But how about this: you already are going to owe me $500 because you made a sucker’s bet that Biden won’t be the Democratic nominee. How about another $500 bet that the Trump will lose his appeal on this decision?

That’s not relevant. It was the state that was cheated. He avoided paying taxes.

OK. I think that when I use terms like “highly illegal” it should be obvious that I’m stating a subjective opinion and not using a legal argument. In terms of legal arguments the courts can speak for themselves. I am not an attorney and make no claims to be. I have however had a lot of experience in valuing commercial properties, both for loan and tax purposes, so I think this is an area I know a little about. And I know the difference between exaggeration and outright fraud.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I will not be referring to the details of this subject ever again, even to explain myself. You’re free to keep bringing it up but I would imagine most people reading this are sick of you doing so.

I have not.

It’s also quicker than you since I’ve never seen you acknowledge you were wrong about anything, even though you’re almost always wrong about everything.

Just an opinion based on personal experience. I’m not interested in getting in a debate with you or anyone about the difference between illegal and highly illegal. If you truly think that Trump is guiltless here I’m not going to be able to convince you otherwise. If he didn’t do anything wrong he’ll win his appeal.

What illegal trafficking? What Biden corporation? What nonsense is this now?

This is incorrect as well. Even when I, with bad information, attempted to defend Roman Polanski, I was never OK with him skipping bail.

Not a change of heart, a change of mind. I read more about it and decided my earlier position was wrong. Nothing convenient about it. Actually my change of mind was inconvenient because I still very strongly believe that there is institutionalized racism against young black males in our society, especially by police, and that per federal study Ferguson remains an especially bad place for it. The fact is that most times that these incidents occur, the police are going to be at fault. Not this time, apparently, which makes it inconvenient for me because people like you who are purposefully blind to racism in our society are going to use it to reject what is really happening.

Actually I have. And overestimation happens all the time. 10%, 20%, if it gets above that it’s fraud. Trump tripled and quadrupled values which is why I wrote that it is highly illegal. And by saying the banks weren’t hurt, you miss the point: the taxpayers were hurt because he avoided paying the taxes he should have. This is not a victimless crime. With regard to Biden I’m not OK with any crime anywhere. But you gotta prove it. The supposed charges against Biden appear to be falling apart.

There were some problems with this lawsuit and I agreed with some of the criticism. But overall it was the correct decision to pursue it because Trump’s actions were way over the top. And highly illegal. Not sure what any of this has to do with Costas’ comments which was the post you responded to.

I do. That’s what our legal system determined.

Bob Costas taking lots of criticism from Republicans for ripping Trump: https://www.foxnews.com/media/bob-costas-draws-fire-trump-supporters-toxic-cult-great-look-him.amp Conservatives are embarrassing themselves, and they’re ashamed about it, so they get angry at anyone who tells them the truth.

And before anyone asks me if I truly consider my last post to be a “serious issue” worthy of this thread- it shouldn’t be. Nearly every story related to Trump is so absurd and appalling at the same time that I have trouble believing this is our current reality. Yet it is.

I had no idea that the RNC had already spent over 37 million paying for Trump’s attorneys: https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rcna140348 Now with Trump owing tons of money to the state of New York, the woman he raped, and new legal fees all the time, apparently the plan is to have Republicans pay for all of it: Laura Trump, who is about to be the new RNC co-chair, basically admitted it. Seriously? Apparently Lincoln was wrong. When it comes to Republicans you can fool all of them all of the time.

Trump’s victory in South Carolina tonight is great for him as far as winning the nomination, but of course we already knew he would do that. It’s problematic as far the general election because once again the numbers demonstrate that Trump is just not moving beyond his base. At least some of the 35-40% that voted for Haley tonight are going to vote for Biden, or they’re going to stay home. In South Carolina that won’t matter. In the swing states it will be decisive.

Violence by anyone is not my America. Sorry.
