It’s antisemitic to equivalize being against actions of the Israeli government to being against Jews as a whole. You're an anti-Semite.

Huh? I have nothing against Jews obviously since I am one, you’re an idiot that can’t separate Jews from the Israeli government. I do have something against the IDF, so yes I do consider praising a documentary that contains IDF members as something “pro-Israel.”

Yes. There were members of the team that served in the IDF.

That’s a blog, and no indication it is affiliated with antifa.

I’ll just get ahead of the game here. If she wins: activist jury! If she loses: she deserved it!

IMO, the US government is publicly being intentionally vague about what “cartel” they’re actually going after. I think they believe (correctly, I’d bet) that the American public is more accepting of going after “narcotrafficking gangs” than the Venezuelan government. I think the uninformed public probably believes that the guys being killed in the boats are from traditional gangs like Tren de Aragua. However the actual “cartel” we’re apparently going after is the “Cartel of the Suns,” which at best seems to only be loosely organized, and the Venezuelan government claims doesn’t even exist.

Several of the things I said were possibilities turned out to be true.

OK you got me, I thought we were talking about statements that they claimed in the indictment to have actual evidence of, not just claims that they might be making up (which you seem to acknowledge above is a possibility). But when you said the below you didn’t really leave open the possibility that they’re lying. I wouldn’t act all high and mighty though, you were wrong earlier when you claimed a second home rider meant you couldn’t rent the home out at all. That was very clearly incorrect.

I’m not sure Halligan realizes the thing about the first year, as she says the “scheme” went through at least January 2024

The indictment doesn’t say she “never” used it for personal use, it said she filed tax “form(s)” reporting zero personal use days. It does not say which year or years that she filed those forms saying that.

For the first year? Link? That is not in the indictment.

What, do you think it’s definite that she rented it out for more than six months of the first year that she owned it? If it was a POS, she may have had to fix it up first anyway, which would still qualify as it being available for her personal use.

I saw Saints talk about scenarios with Airbnb, I didn’t think he was necessarily saying that’s what he thought James did with the property. Any comment on the fact that there is an Airbnb listing at literally the exact intersection you named?

That combined with if she rented it out for less than 6 months of the first year, then yup pretty sure she did.

Maybe I missed but I don’t think anyone here was saying she used this house as an airbnb. Nonetheless, this one looks to be at Lafayette and Perrone. https://www.airbnb.com/l/QuMjxp1r

It’s on the same street as a listed previous address of her niece that she later bought the other house for. For that reason, very reasonable to believe that she stayed there.

If she rented it out for longer than 6 months of the first year, it looks like that would be breaking the law.

Actually the second home rider also includes a caveat that it’s not illegal if you get approval from your lender in writing (so no, @SaintsInDome2006, just a phone call would not suffice).

ChatGPT claims he was an Army veteran and lawyer, but not verified.

I will keep this post in mind for initial verdicts on future cases.

Of course you’d side with the guy that refuses to read 3 pages that will answer his questions and confirm I’m correct.
