Trump's comeuppance is coming
One of the best presidents, Teddy Roosevelt, was the only native of New York City to become president until the worst, Donald Trump, won the high office. Now, the state of New York is helping to bring down this miserable, insipid, democracy-threatening horror of a man who we inflicted on the nation and the world. In devastating legal papers filed last week, New York Attorney General Leticia James reveals that the cheating con man weve known all these long decades cheated and conned in illegally misrepresenting the finances of his real estate firm. Whouda thunk?
At this, Trump was no apprentice, but a master manipulator of appraisals and valuations, faking the numbers up when needed and down when needed, bearing out what the former presidents former hatchet man Michael Cohen told Congress. The true worth of assets was of no consequence as he sought to maximize his gain and minimize whatever he needed to pay.
James presented these findings in Manhattan state Supreme Court to seek to compel Trump and children Don Jr. and Ivanka to submit to sworn testimony in the matter. Justice Arthur Engoron has plenty of evidence to support making the Trumps answer questions. Excellent going by James.

(22,065 posts)I be interested in a fair valuation of a property if I was extending credit or loan to rump? Now of course rump deserves the lion's share of the blame, but there is blame on the side of the lending institutions too...I do seem to remember/recall one of these persons who worked at one of these institutions got fired for his role in extending credit to rump, I can't recall his name, but shouldn't there been more people involved in these jury-rigged numbers on these loan applications?

It beggars belief Kennedy would give up a dream lifetime appointment for the likes of Kavanaugh without some sort of threat...

(215 posts)tfg was given something from Kennedy's past or present to use as a lever. It could be anything from a live underage girl to a dead boy or several of them, in his bed. Maybe a 'lucrative' investment that paid too well. Who knows? One thing is certain. It would be irresponsible of us not to speculate.

(63,172 posts)You offered Bannon and the Round Boys as proof that the system works, but apparently what you meant is that "the system might be working."
Care to pick an assertion and stay with it?

(7,839 posts)plainly realize the unravelling of this hornets nest of vipers is gonna take a while for proper presentation to the public and the Republican lemonade drinkers still somehow convinced by some horrifyingly effective propaganda that President Biden lost the election
tho all the other elections happening on that same day are
ok?
Not sure if more frightened by the seditious conspiracy and attempted coup, or the effectiveness of the BigLie,
or how stupidity is the foundation of both.

(1,815 posts)Now I have ceased to add any credence to the on going claim, Trump is toast.
It is my fervent hope his end is at hand, but I see nothing new that bears it out.
