The eye-popping judgment against former President Trump
First of all, what the fuck is that doing starting the article? “The eye-popping judgement” is a direct and proven result of his crimes for goddamned fucks sake. That was the whole fucking point of suing him. It was the crimes that were eye-popping you idiot fucks. “ewwwww can yewwww beleeeeev the juuuuudgement agaaaaiiinnst hiiiim” jesus christ.
Goddamn thehill.com, I thought I could read one fucking article without seeing some idiot bullshit but NOPE. Later they give prominent article space as to whether or not he “made it big in NYC” from a Pace university professor. Who might be the smartest guy in the world, but when I go for a generic quote that Ricky from School would know I don’t typically dial into Pace university. I’m . . . not even sure where that is, actually. Whatever - nothing wrong with it at all, just . . . y’know. Try calling, I dunno, Stanford or Penn or something. It’s just very random.
Pace University is a private college in NYC for people who can’t get into NYU or Columbia and don’t want to go to CUNY. That’s why they asked that guy.
Although you could just ask any rich socialite from a nice building on the Upper East Side and they could tell you the same: people have hated Trump for years because he’s boring and fat. It’s that simple.
I only use criticism that will sway his supporters. They like the arrogance, self-absorbtion, and rudeness. Those are positives for them, or only minor issues.
Don’t even mention them because they like that he annoys Democrats. It’s as if a Republican told you they didn’t like Pete Buttigieg because he’s openly gay. That wouldn’t sway you right? You might be more likely to vote for him to piss off Republicans.
What’s with this constant attitude that Biden, in much better shape and not significantly older than Trump, is on the verge of death?
No, most people are not happy about voting for an old Republican of a Democrat.
No, insulting Biden does NOT mean I like Trump in any way nor want him to win.
People can be and are unhappy about both choices.
Then the question becomes, what’s with the people who are not like you, who focus on Bidens age without attributing the same vulnerabilities to Trump?
Fully aware you’re not expected to have the answer to that, you’re not responsible for them folks.
better a progressive republican that an extremist republican, and those are your choices. reality sucks; deal with it or be prepared for the consequences
You know things are bad, when both sides of US politics rely on desinformation and populist narratives.
Biden is 81 years old and regularly showed in public appearances that he is mentally declining. Trump shows the same.
The fact that both sides of the two party system band together to claim that the age and mental state of their candidates should not be a clear reason to exclude both canidates is insane to look at from the outside. How can the US still delude itself into being anything but a nuclearly armed corrupt oligarchy, when these two candidates is the “best” the nation has to offer? How can you still delude yourself into believing that this is not the result of an oligarchy that will never allow a candidate to actually bring the economic change necessary to protect the poor people and make the rich people contribute fairly to society?
One party is rapeing you from the front and the other party is rapeing you from behind and you argue about which way around it is better instead of seeing to end getting fucked over.
“I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash… The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000,” Trump wrote in all caps on Truth Social Friday morning.
I can’t live off of the millions of dollars that would be leftover.
People who live paycheck to paycheck buy this crap. I mean, what’s he supposed to do with his “millions” in the interim? Just starve to death?
It’s all bullshit anyway as nobody with $500M would just leave it sitting around liquid/as cash. That’d generate around $40M a year in interest by just investing it in basic shit and getting an average return.
Well I wouldn’t say “nobody” it matters how many billions you got…
For example Bezos keeps 5% of his wealth (currently 9.5B) in cash. I assume that’s cash and equivalents… but who knows.
Most likely bonds (as you said, cash equivalents). When you get to a certain level of wealth, instead of paying taxes, you lend that same money to the government and receive interest on it.
And/or because it’s hidden away in some tax haven under somone else’s name.
I wouldn’t trust a word of it myself.
I think I would too. He could live the entire rest of his life on 9B making zero interest and losing value to inflation.
They’re calling him Don Poorleone, and I love it.
Think it’s bad now, wait until they pop him with a criminal conviction.
Then, instead of “24 hours to come up with 1/2 a billion dollars” it’s “24 hours until you report to prison…”
It is for Brits, he’ll probably come here to hide at one of his shitty golf courses
