āHe said that there was death and taxes, and taxes was worse, because at least death didnāt happen to you every year.ā

āEven if Mr. Trump alleged that either New York Defendant was involved in the legislative process, he cites no authority for the proposition that enacting or helping to enact a state statute in another state would constitute ātransacting businessā in the District of Columbia,ā the judge wrote[.]
Wait!! Wait!! Wtf!? tRump canāt invoke the following:
(2) Dieu et mon droit (Translation: God and my right.āBritish Monarchy)
If those reasons canāt be invoke, then thatās one hell of a democracy we have. Isnāt Americaās founding myth that the reason for the Revolutionary War was preserve the colonial relationship with Great Britain? And doesnāt Article ZERO, SExTION ZERO of the Constitution read that in the far away future, formerly British-American subjects, but eventually Russian-American subjects shall obey their Putin-appointed, Russian-American Satrap. Donald J. tRump?
The day after he is no longer president for whatever reason,
There are those ready willing and able to begin indictments on a whole bunch of issues he is protected from as president.
He will be pursued for eternity and hopefully his spawn will be included along with a whole bunch of his faithful congress critters.
āIn his lawsuit, Trumpās attorneys argued that the state law was simply an effort to get information about his personal finances to embarrass him politically.ā
Just a pipe dream, but it would be fun if some nameless NYS bureaucrat surreptitiously dumped Trumpās returns on the interwebs. A state crime, obviously. Iām sure NYS AG Letitia James would be very vigorous in her detection and prosecution of the guilty party. And Iām sure Iām King Zog of Albania.
Thatās only part of it. Thereās the money laundering thru Deutsch Bank and Bank of Cyprus that amounts to many hundreds of millions of dollars. There is the lack of payment of any tax, federal or state, over decades that show his greed and lack of any semblance of patriotism, Thereās his coziness with the mob, both Russian and American. And all that is before we get to politics.

In some ways I feel like I am reliving the era of Watergate all over again. I realize these scandals are completely different but it feels the same. I was a much younger man in 1973-4 and now I am a retired guy but Nixon was got rid of. Hereās hoping the same can happen again.
