If Trump becomes Great Again.
Reckon he'll make Biden foot the bill and more some.
Biden will just say in Court "I can't remember. I can't remember anything."

Legal witch hunt is only making Donald Trump stronger

Donald Trump’s bad week on the personal finances front is about to become a lot worse.  The $US83m ($126m) a Manhattan court has told him to pay his sexual assault accuser E Jean Carroll could be small change compared with the penalty he’s likely to face for allegedly exaggerating the value of his home.

If presiding judge Arthur Engoron follows the prosecution’s recommendations, he will fine Trump $US370m and destroy the Trump organisation, banning both it and Trump from operating in the nation’s third-largest state and its financial heart.

Both cases stand out for their political motivation and extreme penalties. In the longer run, they will sap respect for the US judiciary and boost Trump in his bid for the White House.

Take the fraud case, brought by the New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was elected to office in 2019 on a promise to investigate and prosecute ­Donald Trump.  The alleged fraud, revolving around claimed value of his home Mar-A-Lago, created no victims. Trump said it was close to $US1bn, the judge said it was closer to $US27m.

No banks or insurance companies said Trump’s valuation affected their business decisions. All loans were repaid, and no one lost any money.  It’s hard to imagine a better case of “show me the man, and I’ll find the crime”. If a state attorney general’s office is intent on finding a crime, they’ll find one, such is the vast proliferation of laws that blight modern nations, guaranteeing there’s always something someone has allegedly done wrong. Indeed, Associated Press determined Trump’s organisation was the “only big business” in 70 years of NY business fraud cases to have been “threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses”, in a research note published on January 29.

“The only case the AP found of a business dissolved under the anti-fraud law without citing actual victims or losses was a relatively small company closed in 1972 for writing term papers for college students,” it said, highlighting the gratuitous, vindictive nature of the penalties demanded.

The defamation case is perhaps more ludicrous, emblematic of a #Metoo movement that risks beclowning itself. Inexplicably, given not a shred of evidence of wrongdoing existed beyond one person’s word against another’s, a Manhattan jury last April found Trump sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll in 1995 or 1996 (she couldn’t remember which year the crime supposedly occurred) in a fancy department store.

Carroll, a high-profile advice columnist who regularly appeared on TV, didn’t seek justice until 2019, when she broke the allegation against Trump, not by going to the police or even a friendly journalist, but in her book What Do We Really Need Men For?, becoming a darling of the anti-Trump movement.

Trump denied the allegations in 2019 and publicly called her a “whack job” whom he “had never met”, comments that were later ruled defamatory. Carroll stated on top-rating CNN with Anderson Cooper that same year that most people thought rape was “sexy”.

Carroll said in sworn deposition that she decided to take legal action only after bumping into trenchant Trump critic, lawyer George Conway, at a Manhattan cocktail party hosted by scion of the anti-Trump forces, Molly Jong Fast, according to an investigation by Washington journalist Byron York.

Trump lost and was fined $US5m, in a case helped along by the passage in 2022 of New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which allowed individuals to sue for sexual assault regardless of whether the statute of limitations had long since passed. He continued to deny the allegation and was fined again, this time $US83m.

At least that award was more consistent with the equally ridiculous punishment meted out to former Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani, who was ordered to pay two women in Georgia whom he had accused of electoral fraud a combined $US148m.

Did he rape his wife too?   

I tend to agree with this comment:

The absurdity of these cases certainly cements existing support for Trump, I doubt they initiate much new support.

What will get Trump new support and probably the Presidency is the apparent need of urgency to address the flood of refugee, illegal and desperate migrants that have been flooding across the southern border for three years, the absorption into the country has reached critical mass and is causing problems in many major cities and rural centers....every voter is now effected in some way by being displaced for accommodation, access to services, increased crime rate etc etc....the strain on city services is immense.

This is all due to Joe Biden when on day one with the stroke of a pen, executive orders reversing the existing Trump administration policies that had been working efficiently to control the Southern border.....Bidens refusal, or plain belligerence to not reverse these executive orders with another stroke of the pen to reinstate existing laws is apparent to many voters that will turn to Trump as their only option to address the flood of migrants affecting the majority of taxpayer citizens and voters.

Then there is the issue of geopolitical strife and threats to the US, possible war, also caused by Biden administration policy to reverse sanctions and ease policy on Iran, making Iran rich again and able to fund anti West proxies, a lot of voters also understand this, some will also gravitate to Trump and Trump policies as the only solution.

Bidens belligerence and poor decision making and lurch to the extreme left and the effect on voters of this will get Trump much more support than the court cases, they only cement mostly existing support as existing supporters have always felt there was an "out to get Trump at all costs" section of powerful people.

Trump should win......at the request of the voters.....to fix the issues that are apparent to many that are affecting many adversely.

DES MOINES, IA — Polk County prosecutors have formally charged God with a hate crime and third-degree criminal mischief for casting Satan, that serpent of old, into the lake of fire.

"Other than leading angels in rebellion against God and working to twist all that is good into evil, Satan has never done anything to deserve being attacked in such a vicious manner," said Polk County prosecutor Mitchell Radcliffe. "Plus, look at this nice statue - Satan is just a poor red man with horns and goat legs. He's the minority of minorities. Iowa will simply not abide the Most Holy God doling out judgment like that."

Prosecutors argue that the Lord of Creation was in the wrong for casting Satan out of Heaven because it was "mean" and a "violation of religious freedom". The Son and Holy Spirit have so far not been charged. According to court records, God is required to appear before a judge on March 3 or face a hefty fine of $1,500.  "No one is above the law," said Radcliffe. "Here in Iowa, religious rights take precedence over any sort of 'God'."

A spokesperson for the Most High God reported that He would graciously not appear in court so as not to destroy the entire courthouse and everyone inside.


Not satire. Possibly a parable.

This was a civil trial where Trump was found guilty by a jury....What does this have to do with the Republican Party when a private citizen is convicted by a jury....Trump will defame Carroll again and find himself in court again....Donald Trump cannot control himself!!!
