FYI: the 250M is the minimum penalty
- Plus there is this:
  In a pretrial ruling on Tuesday, a Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the cancelation of the Trump Organization's business certificates in the state after determining that Trump submitted "fraudulent valuations" for assets that were then used by himself, his eldest sons and his business to obtain better loan and insurance terms.
  
  Looking at Luis Rossman's video on the matter, seems this is a common thing with New York commercial real estate. So I wonder if they'll crack down on that practice too?
  
  They should have all those contracts then nullified due to this fraud, and redrawn at the proper terms with actual rates. If he doesn’t qualify, then have him immediately have to pay it back. That’s what would happen to any one of us schleps. Not to mention jail and probably wage garnishments and stuff. But hey. I could always run for President still. I guess?
No way Trump gets on that stand.
- James plans to call Trump and his adult sons to the stand during the trial, according to a list of witnesses the AG has filed with the court.
  You get called to the stand, you go on the stand.
  
  Almost no one bothers because nearly everyone would plead the fifth. It's expected in court as the defendant.
  I guess they're banking on Trump being that self important.
  
  I wish all proceedings like this were recorded.
Can Donald Duck these charges?
- On this episode of DuckTales...
  
  Woohoo!
- No wonder he was always so salty
Meh, they got Alex Jones on more than this and he’s still on the air agitating for terrorism.
Oh, gosh, that is so sad. I bet his dumbfuck supporters are going to be all the more excited for little daddy donnie since he's such a martyr and everything. Even though he utterly loathes such people, would never deign to spend a minute with them, and of course, will do sweet fuck-all for any of them, except make them feel that they are better than other people.
Bring on the 🍿
- Covered in butter.
Awe, the precious dick hole.
