Whiner boy whines. It’s all that he knows how to do now that his dementia combined with his mental derangement are both in full force.

I wish the MAGA cult would accept that and refuse to vote for donnie … for the good of the country

Hey, I’m not dissing any Vermonters, just some unfortunate biproducts of their so-called “agricultural” industry. Quebecers have their own problems, but you don’t see them trying to sell you the waste products from their poutine factories, now do you?

And I do appreciate their help with this. I mean, some things just shouldn’t cross borders by “normal” means… :smirk:

I only wish he was. If he was, there would be a chance that the next time we looked at him, he’d be dead.

Ingredients

Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Refiners Syrup, Water, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), And Citric Acid.

I absolutely loved this stuff when I was little! It was so thick that you had to heat it and then spread it with a heavy duty knife onto your pancakes!
:pancakes:

No one will say the emperor has no clothes! He wants to be pwesident again (stomping his feet …). Doesn’t seem to matter much to anyone that his rotted brain puts us and the entire world in danger. Gotta pacify the colicky baby! It’s so obvious he deteriorating rapidly. Hopefully Mother Nature will finish him off soon. She seems to be our only hope.

Apparently allbtrump hasta do is exist and people heave money at him. Jeff Yass, billionaire donor is buying into the merger of trump’s company and seems trump stands to gain shit loads of money. Mebbe not right away but soon.

So, the Canadian threat of flooding the market to undermine our domestic traditions and spread the Great White North to the lower 49 was always empty bluster?

" … people heave money at him." Whatever Trump’s personality, whether he is demented, psychotic, sociopathic, stupid, or just plain evil it bears reminding ourselves of criminal financial interests with loyalties to no interests but their own who groomed him to come down the golden staircase. He is their useful tool. Whatever his fate, they remain to be dealt with. Be vigilant. Vote.

Oops, sorry about that. I thought we’d rounded up all the Vermont “maple” syrup, but I guess some managed to get through… :roll_eyes:

Getting back to the James Bond civil case against the Trump organization, says NYT:

It is unclear whether these same five judges will also hear Mr. Trump’s appeal, but David B. Saxe, a former judge on the appeals court that ruled on Monday, said that the court’s decision to short-circuit Ms. James’s collection efforts suggests that some of the judges were uncomfortable with Justice Engoron’s ruling.

“My view is that the court indicates it has difficulty with the breadth of the lower court’s decision,” said Mr. Saxe, who retired in 2017 after 36 years on the bench, 19 of them on the appeals court.

“They had other options available to them, and they issued a broad-based stay,” he continued, which he said suggests “that there is a view that they’re going to need to take a hard look at the lower court’s decision.”

“Hard look” is a term of art, and it means finding everything not hard to find. The obvious.

As for the obvious, Engoron found the Trump Organization and some of its companies liable on falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and conspiracy to falsify business records. Eric and Don Jr also owe $4 million, and Weisselberg $1 million for distributions of ill-gotten profits. On the $168 million from defrauding banks, the dispute would center around McCarty’s “rounding errors” or not much in the final analysis.

As for the less obvious, that’s the $126 million for the ill-gotten gains on the sale of the Old Post Office, centering around whether Libor +8% or Libor +4% with Trump’s personal guarantee based on Doral valuation was the right loan pricing, could be too much for some judges. Sure, Doral was wildly overvalued in Trump’s head, but It quickly decays into something like an early discussion of phlogiston theory, a debate about something that never existed. Most judges have no idea how construction projects work. Engoron has done an excellent job trying to nail down that fraud which clearly unraveled. Trump leased the building rights for $375 million to CGI, who defaulted within 2 years choking on their own shit sandwich. Of course the taxpayer eats it in the end, but this project had been kicking around for a long time and CGI seems to have been crazy reckless, which also seems doubtful. Whatever happened with the Old Post Office fraud is still ongoing.
