[Trump liable for fraud, judge finds in New York civil case]

Well well well another democrat state doing what ONLY the democrat states are doing. What a totally stupid thing to do - Trump will now simply take all of his business and wealth (reported at 2.5 billion) to Florida - people will lose jobs and now be fighting to get a job with the 100,000 odd newly arrived migrants. The $250 million is about 50 days of putting up the NY migrants. Trump will be well rid of the hellhole that is now NY. Just another nail in the coffin of that democrat state. Trump employs (2015) 22,500 people ish - those in NY can now wave goodbye to their old life.

If you are that sure that Trump is the real victim here then you should dig deep into your pockets and give all your savings to help this poor billionaire get justice. Remember they aren't coming for him, they're coming for you. He's just in the way.

So where's the victim? One would think that banks would show due diligence in responding to any loan application and their foremost question would relate to the applicant's ability to repay the loan. History shows that such a loan had legs and the lender would have no problem in approving that application 

Fraud is fraud!! I could rob a bank and give the money back later? No crime? Also he didn't just defraud the banks with his schemes, he also devalued his same properties to cheat on his taxes. So the the law abiding tax payer and the government are also victims here. But cult followers always have an excuse why the dear leader/rapist/conman/traitor is never at fault.

[State election officials prepare for efforts to disqualify Trump under 14th Amendment]

2 hours ago, BusyB said:

He has to be found guilty first before such laws can be applied I suspect. And as far as I've seen he hasn't been charged with insurrection either.

Apparently he does not have to be found guilty first. The law is written that any person that ENGAGES in insurrection (not found guilty of insurrection) is disqualified from office. It is then up to the secretary of state from each state to disqualify him, He can then challenge that in court. It will no doubt end up in state and then federal supreme courts, Will be interesting to see how it goes.

The US desperately needs election reform. Too much money being spent and too much dark money going into each election, they are in a constant state of campaigning instead of governing. Most politicians on both sides need to sell their souls to big business just to raise enough money to campaign. Limit the allowable campaign times to a couple months, cap how much any politician can spend on a campaign, stop caproate donations, end super pacs just to start.

[Banged Up! "Extortion" case cops denied bail - but are they scapegoats for wider malaise in RTP?]

They all pay for their positions, i have head chief of police can pay over $1 million USD for his post.

 

The entire system is set up to extort. The Joe Ferrari case is a classic example. How do you think someone like the fugitive ex PM goes from being a cop to one of the richest men in Thailand?

 

The entire force needs t be fired, anew force hired with far less officers, higher pay and a system in place where they do not pay for their positions, they do not profit from arresting people. Just do your job. Harsh jail sentences for any corruption.

 

Of course this will never happen. If it did, we would all probably move because Thailand would be as boring as most other countries.
