C’mon, Joe. You don’t have to make a big production out of it but there’s more housecleaning to do.

The end of America, I imagine. If he was a lazy man he would have done it already. The next one will.

A couple of things that nobody seems to be talking about:

  1. Whether or not Allen turns on Trump, he will surely be convicted of at least some of these crimes. Which means he can no longer be the CFO of Trump Org.
  2. Therefore, Trump loses his arguably greatest asset.
  3. Are Trump’s clients/loaners going to put up with Allen being CFO while he’s out on bail?
  4. How does the Trump Org not come to a grinding halt TODAY, just based on daily operations?
  5. What idiot is going to want to take Allen’s place? Jeff McConney, who has turned states’ evidence?
  6. 2005 through 2021, this has been going on. Which means that Trump was president while he was breaking laws, cheating on taxes.
  7. Someone needs to tell Trump supporters that when rich people like Trump cheat on taxes, WE honest tax-payers have to make up the difference. WE ALL are paying for HIS crimes.

The Trump Organization will have to change its name to:

PARIAH, INC.

It’s classy, trendy, chic, easy and can be spelled with the same number of letters (5) as the word “Trump”.

Another poorly-thought-out law that’s going to just end up costing the city millions in litigation before they ultimately have to retract it.

99.9% of legal gun owners didn’t shoot someone yesterday, likely aren’t going to shoot anyone today, and tomorrow’s mostly out as well.

This tax would only apply to legal gun owners, so it’s just a tax on people who are already following the rules and not killing people, while the guns that are being used in crimes aren’t getting taxed.
