That is why this thread is a joke. You know damn well what financial statements to banks look like and how banks use them. For a judge to a make a fraud ruling because he believes Marg-a-lago was worth $18 million based on a tax assessment, when every real estate appraisal puts the value in line with what Trump valued it on his financial statement is judicially criminal. And to make that dispute in valuation a fine of $454 million is a pure vile ruling to destroy Trump. You know damn well that is total BS. But you won't ever admit it.

You are ignorant of the present. The most fundamental human right is free speech and the right to be heard. I along with tens of millions of Americans are denied that on a daily basis. Equal treatment under the law was main principle outcome of the civil war. MAGA people are the number 1 target of our government and have been unfairly prosecuted by our government. The floodgates on this really opened up during the Biden years. You conveniently don't want to get into the conservative journalists who are being targets by Merrick Garland.

Every single case against Trump has White House fingerprints all over them. Each and everyone of them was designed to help defeat Trump in 2024. To deny that is just stupid.

What New York is doing to Trump is one of the biggest miscarriage of Justice in decades.

They absolutely are treated like total crap by the government. Denied free speech. Maliciously prosecuted. Denied admission to colleges. But you don't give a crap that MAGA types are treated unfairly by our government.

1. You are correct, Social Media is not the press, but they are the most important free speech platform we have. These big tech platforms love the liability protection they were given for being a platform, but instead act like a press with complete editorial control eliminating conservstive speech every chance they get. It is utterly disgusting, but you love it that conservstive are shut up and treated like the blacks were in the 1800's. And that is not even remotely a hyperbole. 2. You would not know crap about what a lie is or what is misinformation because you swallow it daily. You don't even know that Merrick Garland is having reporters imprisoned for the crime of reporting on Jan. 6th. Just yesterday Steve Baker of the Blaze had a team of heavily armed FBI agents come and arrest him, put him in a jump suit and shackles and thrown in a dangerous prison for some misdemeanor offenses. To you thst is a lie because the New York Times does not headline it. He is a nice old man who believes in the free press and never harmed a soul in his life. But to Garland, the biggest criminals are those who dare speak out against the establishment power. That is why I call you a bootlicker, because through your ignorance you absolutely are. 3. As usual, you are ignorant of what free speech is and means. The three-letter agencies of our government is using big tech as their surrogates to slaughter our First Amendment rights. The only reason the Google is allowed to operate with their anti-trust tactics, act as a monopoly and even expand their hold by acquiring companies like YouTube is because they do the dirty work of our government. Again, f-disgusting. 4. Our media is just an extension of our government. Has been for decades. The CIA completely infiltrated it and gained control of it back in the 1960's through Operation Mockingbird. An outstanding expose of what was done was by Carl Bernstein in a 1977 article here. https://www.carlbernstein.com/the-cia-and-the-media-rolling-stone-10-20-1977 This activity was ordered to stop but never did, which is why the so-called mainstream media still operates as a uni-voice in support of big government power. Trump's goal is to get a free press back. While it is Garland who has arrested a dozen conservstive journalists under the color of law whose crime was doing actual reporting.

LOL...you are the biggest enemy of the free press I have ever met. You despise with a passion every independant voice that goes off script. You love the idea of regulating 'misinformstion', you had no problems with our government suppressing the Hunter Biden story, you have no issues with millions of Americans being censored everyday by big tech at the direction of government t agencies. You are 100 percent anti-free speech.

She is a horrible politician. The media tried to make her into Jackie Kennedy, but so much hate spewed out of her mouth they gave that up. She has no skills to BS unlike her husband.

Oh there are lots of cracks in the armor. The Dems are putting up a good show. Look at the moronic thread in here where they try to claim it is Trump in mental decline. But behind the scenes there are many who are looking for options. They are allowing a few stories to slip through that shows Biden has no mind left, the Justice Department releasing a report that Biden is not even well enough to stand trial for one. A significant portion of the deep state is convinced Biden can't win. But the people (Soros, et el) holding on to Biden's puppet strings are doing everything they can to prop him up and hope they can get him across the finish line. There is still enough time to pull some convention shenanigans and hoist some authoritarian idiot like Newsome or Whitmer on the ticket.

So does the deep state do this at the convention or after? I am thinking they will wait as long as possible, so the new candidate looks like some shiney new toy and before people have a chance to look under the hood.

I spend two weeks in Oregon in the Summer of 2022. Absolutely beautiful state. Spent one week in an air b-n-b in the Portland suburbs which was fine. Traveled to around the Columbia River Gorge to Mt Hood. Saw dozens of magnificent waterfalls. Traveled to the coast, went to the huge cheese factor had some awesome homemade ice cream. Visited some wineries. Went south and explored the coast. Saw some great sand dunes, Thor's Well. Spend a week on the Umpqua River. Enjoyed a sasquash festival, saw the gorgeous Creator lake. Did some hiking, saw a lot more waterfalls. Visited more wineries. Did a little fishing, caught some trout. Great vacation. Downtown Portland was an absolute disaster. If you wanted to eat, there were food trucks. The bookstore was impressive, voodoo donuts were great, but shops were non-existance and the homeless had taken over. Where I first learned of the new scam where homeless/druggies would move into homes when the owners were gone and just claim they were renting. It takes a year and tens of thousands in legal fees to remove them. The city has determined that is a civil matter and not criminal. Same thing is happening in Atlanta, to the tune of about 1500 homes are occupied and the city does nothing.

You could not pay me to spend a night in any of those cities. And most of LA is a war zone.

Leftwing authoritarian bastards have been chanting 24/7 on their government-controlled Mainstream Media megaphone, that the Jan. 6th protesters were guilty of some insidious act of Interference with an Official Act nonsense. Finally, a panel of federal judges have ruled that law does not apply to this case. So for three years, about 100 Jan 6ers (many of whom have been rotting in jail, some even unjustly put in solitary confinement) will see their sentences greatly reduced. Many of whom probably would not even had been put in jail had these charges not have been added. The problem with this interference/obstruction charge, is these enhancements were added after the Enron scandal because many of the accountants who interfered with an investigation could not be charged with a serious crime. The thing is, the 'official act' defined in the statue was for an investigation, and the certification of electors is not an investigation. Thus the law does not apply to the protesters on January 6th. Just another example of literally millions of the authoritarian bastards chilling free speech targeted at American who dare question their authority. Slowly MAGA is winning victories for freedom.

I love how retards don't understand a panel of three federal judges rules that over 100 prison sentences will need to be greatly reduced or wiped out.

Portland is such a beautiful city if you love boarded up stores and homeless camps.

Some Jan. 6 sentences were improperly lengthened, appeals court rules

No, it was very much in swing 60 years ago. It is more of a elitist fascism instead of a communism though.

Isn't this just facial recognition software being used on international flights now in some airports? Granted, such a database will be dangerous and the feds will abuse it. But if it is really just used at entry and exit points, it is not really tracking us.....yet.

There are over 4,000 illegals crossing the border every day filling our streets with fentanyl and trafficking women and children into prostitution, and you are going to claim the seemingly false arrest of a single illegal proves they are all innocent, and this is blown way out of proportion. The truth is they just arrested the wrong illegal. The guy seems like a big turd regardless. Biden's white house has intentionally allowed the illegal border crossings to spiral out of control, and we are allowing the worst of the worst to come into this country instead of having some controlled screening process. I actually favor a significant level of immigartion, but it has to be fully controlled and the people we allow in need to be screened so we are accepting people who will contribute positively.

The real issue with our government is we lost control of the Executive Branch. Our system of government was setup with checks and balances between the branches. We grossly expanded the size and power of the Executive branch, but we did not expand the oversight. In fact federal agents have immunity in their acts and can operate in secrecy. These agencies have grown bigger and bigger and have grown more an more corrupt.

He was a hero of the establishment because he was working for them, trying to kill off Putin.

The mainstream media covered the story and thought he was guilty. You are such a smug dumbass sometimes. This does nothing to vindicate anyone. A leftist DA was prosecuting him.

That is scary if that last attorney was the best the DA's office had. There are two main issues Fani could get nailed on: 1. Fani received at least $17,800 in gifts/benefits from Mr. Wade in terms of vacations. Fani signed sworn statements every year stating she has not received any gifts over the course of the year exceeding $100 from prohibited source (people she gave contracts too such as Mr. Wade). IMHO, that should be enough, but this judge could rule that is more of an administrative issue and not an issue which is disqualifying for the purpose of this case. Unless the judge finds Fani and Wade's story about cash payments was a lie. 2. If Fani and Wade lied to the court on when their relationship started. Had they been truthful, they might have skated and the court may have blown it off. Obviously Fani skated the county regulations to award a huge contract to her lover. It would have been a more administrative issue, that could have been resolved behind closed doors by friends of Fani. But if it is determined that it appears Fani and Wade lied, the court will be forced to disqualify her for the appearance of impropriety. This is a pretty unique case, so it is not clear what the standard for proof is. If it is propanderous of evidence, Fani needs to be booted. If it is beyond a reasonable doubt, the judge may wimp out and say the evidence does not rise to that level. It should be just a preponderance of evidence, so Fani should get the boot. The judge said it will be about two weeks before he reaches a descion.

The last defense attorney for the defense was outstanding. The DA attorney presenting is pretty horrible. If this guy was a public attorney, I would beg for a new one. Fani may be motivated to try to save this.

Not that Ritter is a greatest source, but he does have thoughtful insight. The guy was a real 4-time insurrectionist who tried to have Putin killed and overthrow elections.
