I have a Slack channel literally labeled "political", but it is boring
because all the members are in the same mind space.

I presume Bill and Ken do too. Steve can always be counted on to

during lent and lent was extended. Then in the latter years we just
put the OT on the subject line inviting folks to scroll on by.

Suing DJT is like spraying water on a fish. Cost of doing
business. If a week goes by and nobody has sued him, that would
be news. Going back to the 1970’s. He’s known as Don the Con, we
can’t call him the Teflon Don because that title belongs to John
Gotti.

The fine was in the neighborhood of $700 to $800 million (I forget
the actual amount). I think it was inflated because of his
behavior, but I did not follow it that closely. The fine was
invalidated, but I think it should have been reduced to something
more appropriate. The felon made numerous threats to the judge in
the case, and I don't think it played in his favor.

Any other person this would have been a class "C" felony and

did he bribe? Maybe it was an "offer they couldn't refuse"?

OK, on the felony thing: It was 34 acts of
posting a legal expense to a general ledger
account that the extremely biased and politically
motivated prosecutor, judge and jury found to be
“improper”, as perhaps the GL account number
offended their feng shui. The IRS and the NY
department of revenue were not offended. Meh they
said. This was seriously thin soup. But they got
it rammed through. All individually were
misdemeanors. Equivalent to jay walking or
spitting your gum on the street.
However NY has a rule that if you have enough
misdemeanors in one pile you can convert them to a
felony.
So anyone saying: ” yeah that felon” gets a
snicker and smirk from me. Like, is that the best
you can do?

34 count felon by several juries makes one want to
give him a hug? I have daughters and
grand-daughters and I know he's been on that
island with Jeffrey and on the Lolita express more
than once by his own words. That's another factoid
that makes him disgusting to me. Do you need more
than juries to know you have to agree for a serial
rapist to be put in jail? How about the prisons
in Utah? You want them to release all the rapists
because you personally don't know and don't want
to vilify/judge them? I didn't personally meet
Hitler nor Stalin, either. I think that's pretty
bad to give criminals that big of a break. Rape,
child rape, bank fraud, tax fraud, the list gets
too extensive... because now it's escalated up to
murder, multiple. The only explanation is
organized crime made a deal they (the GOP)
couldn't refuse!

Absolutely positive about it. Not at all
mixed about it. I didn't like him at all 30
years ago, found his TV shows offensive, found
everything about him to be rude, crud and
lewd, repulsive in every way. Only thing I
can figure is the state of Nevada said he
couldn't own a casino in their state because
he was mafia and I agree with their opinion.
He must have made an offer to the GOP and
Supreme court they couldn't refuse (godfather)
and they took the offer.

He is visibly and verbally deteriorating.
No one will have to kill him; he will
expire all by himself (just like most of
us I guess), but I openly wonder if he
will survive to November 2028.
