Now that the "Real Estate genius" has been exposed as a fraud, we can that to his list of failed businesses.  And let's not forget that he's a rapist, and an admitted molester of women.  And the Republicans want this embarrassment to be their Presidential candidate. :rofl:

His failed businesses are:

 

1. Trump Steaks

2. GoTrump 

3. Trump Airlines

4. Trump Vodka

5. Trump Mortgage

6. Trump: The Game

7. Trump Magazine

8. Trump University

9. Trump Ice 

10. The New Jersey Generals 

11. Tour de Trump 

12. Trump Network 

13. Trumped! 

 

Trump companies that sought bankruptcy protection:

1. Trump Taj Mahal 

2. Trump’s Castle

3. Trump Plaza Casinos

4. Trump Plaza Hotel 

5. Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts 

6. Trump Entertainment Resorts 

 

That requires one success story to fill it out, born to a rich daddy. If that hadn't happened he would be visibly bald, competing for jobs with those Mexican immigrants he hates, and paying street corner hookers to piss on him.

Just catching up on the Trump news, and came across this report from Wednesday.  The word "astonishing" doesn't seem adequate to describe the Trumpian upside-down logic  in  coercing his Rep Senators  to vote AGAINST  the thing they thought they wanted.

 

Forever the narcissist.

Donald Trump is reacting to the judge's ruling with a flurry of posts on his Truth Social platform.

"This 'decision' is a Complete and Total SHAM. There were No Victims, No Damages, No Complaints," he writes. "ELECTION INTERFERENCE. WITCH HUNT."

He rails against Justice Engoron as "partisan, deluded, biased" and "Crooked".

He also slams prosecutor Letitia James, the New York attorney general, as "totally Corrupt" and "Racist".

"I helped New York City during its worst of times, and now, while it is overrun with Violent Biden Migrant Crime, the Radicals are doing all they can to kick me out..."

Trump predicts the decision will be reversed on appeal.

That's all they have.

Blackmailing the nation.

Shutting down everything, even when offered all the things they wanted, so they can say that Biden's administration can't get anything done.

"We'll only pass bills Trump put forward" is a ridiculous stance to take. All of them should lose their jobs for this wildcat strike action.

Given that list of failures, banning Trump from running a business in New York for 3 years is probably doing the poor eejit a favour.  :laugh:

I figured it out, some sort of upward seepage from the giant shite filled diaper covering his shite stained arse. Like signs of oil being forced to the surface by gas etc.

 

He's shitey gross. He would gross out an an H-block.

So Trump has 2 weeks to come up with $355 million, or sell off assets to cover it, or a bondsman willing to guarantee it which would cost Trump even more millions. Providing anyone took the chance with someone who has a long history of not paying debts.

 

Someone the judge in the case said this about.

 

Quote

"Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological," Judge Engoron wrote in an at times scathing 92-page decision.

 

Later he said: "The frauds found here leap off the page and shock the conscience."

 

Still, Mr Trump's empire was spared from one of the worst potential outcomes - the cancellation of its business licenses, known as the corporate death penalty.

 

I'm thinking Trump was spared the cancellation of business licenses because if they did that then anything he has might massively decrease in value, while the court might want to sell it if/when he can't pay up.

 

Babysitters put in to run the company, he can't as much as write a check for a tip without asking the babysitters for permission, the humiliation as well as the financial hit will be killing him.

 

Who in the world would want to guarantee a sum like that for Trump of all people, known non payer, convicted fraudster and heading to be convicted jailbird.

I have a hunch this latest development will push Trump closer to breakdown. It's pretty much destroyed his entire façade or brand whatever you want, the way he defines himself. Greatest businessman in the history of the world, except for maybe Henry Ford, but only maybe.

Plus the extravagant boasts about the multi billions he is worth. According to Cohen in the video above Trumps assets in the whole of New York state would at best get him around $120 million, well short of the approaching half a billion total when you throw in the E. Jean Carroll decision.

He's exposed as having never been any great businessman, his entire manufactured persona gone. While at the same time Trump is in a real financial bind he can't waffle his way out of and he's mentally weak.

 

He's just been revealed and judged to be not fit to run a company, and this is what the GOP would offer as a candidate for president? He can't run a company but he can run the country? He would be better at that?

 And if that's not enough he could very well be in a criminal trial in little more than a couple of months.  With all that shit in his tiny never faced accountability for anything brain I think he could visibly struggle to sit in a court for hours 5 days a week.

But even before that I think we're going to see him become if anything even more unhinged.

The really sad thing is it won't change anyone's opinion on him.

His supporters, and there are millions of them, will still back him and if he makes presidential ballot, will vote for him.

If elected to position of president, can he pardon himself?

The pardon is uncertain and probably one for the Supreme Court if he gets the chance to do that.

 

People saying he can't get a pardon for a civil case which was the $355 fraud case.

A good break down of the total he currently owes, over half a billion dollars with still more civil suits to come. Including a calculation of the accruing interest and a damning takedown by New York Attorney General Letitia James,

It won't change his rabid supporters, but there will be quite a few "down the middle" Republicans that won't vote for him now, and that's even before the rest of the court cases.

 

He is now officially a fraudster.

This an essential bit for how Trump came to power in the first place and how he's still around.

 

He makes the Washington established media outlets money and they think he's fun to cover because they treat the whole thing like they're a bunch of sportswriters.

How incredibly ignorant is that, they wish say a Hitler or a Mussolini on the nation and the world? To make their job more 'dramatic'?

 

It's a bit like a crime reporter saying it's too quiet around here, wish we could get an interesting mass murder or two, maybe a serial rapist, to make my day more interesting.

 

I want politics to be boring, as it should be, and i'm sure most of us do. Unlike these dumb ****s.

I'm related to a US president on my mothers side, i'm just a little offended he's ranked at 24 Though he was one of those you all decided to whack before he could get a chance to improve his league standing. 😉

 

President William McKinley which I had bene told was a relation on a number of occasions growing up, but i didn't entirely believe it till much later. Along came the internet and for the first time I was looking at a photo of McKinley and looking back at me was my uncle John, one of my mothers brothers.

He was a ringer for uncle John and that convinced me.

Actually just got more confirmation. After posting this I looked up his wiki page and right away I saw the first photograph I had ever seen of him and which I recognised as uncle John. That photo is from 1900 when he was 47 and looks comfortably older to me.

 

Scrolling further down I saw a photo of him at 22 at the end of the civil war in which he fought for the Union. And this version was a ringer for my uncle Andy when I was growing up, another of my mothers brothers.

To elaborate on that my mother had 7 brothers ranging in age from her age right down to my age, I had an uncle just a year older than me and he had brothers who were married with families of their own.

 

So uncle Andy was  a fair bit younger than uncle John and it's incredible to me that I can see them both in McKinley. Such resemblances must carry on down centuries.

He was definitely above average iirc. The guy who shot him was truly not well in the head.

 

The worst thing he did was kick off the era of American empire. Not good but he succeeded some real wasterels.

I have set this video to begin as she goes into a section describing Trumps ties with Russia going back to the 1970's during the Soviet era. A quote from it.

 

"To understand how to exploit the American idiot the Soviets studied his personality. A former KGB Major said it was a charm offensive,  the feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, psychologically, and he was prone to flattery. And flatter they did"

 

I could have wrote that description of Trump myself, i'm sure many of you could have too. Trump the American idiot isn't difficult to read and manipulate, anybody can see that. Or should I say, everybody knows it. Putin most definitely knows it.

Trump not getting the response he was looking for when he tried to punt the stupid gold shoes. I wouldn't walk around wearing that ridiculous shit no matter who was punting them, even if they were free rather than the $400 he's asking for what is probably poor quality crap.

The US is screwed either way. A senile man clearly with dementia or a crook in Trump. Don't think there were ever two worse candidates in American history.

But at least if Biden gets in there will be a mechanism to replace him when the truth comes out. Trump on the other hand will be replaced by one of his sons in order to keep the dictatorship going.

No one around here would claim that in his 80's Biden is the ideal candidate, but he's most definitely not senile, if he is he's been senile most of his life and seems to have managed. It's mindless Trump/MAGA shite being fed to the gullible who parrot it with no validation.

This one? I'm 2/3 of the way through this and have no idea what you're talking about. Could you point out to a time where you see some kind of cognitive decline? FWIW the Q&A period starts around 12:25 when the prepared remarks end and his answers are specific, on-point, and clearly expressed.

The Xitter account "NY Times Pitchbot" has been a great parody account for years now, making fake versions of the kinds of stupid stories the NY Times publishes, often in the name of "balance" or some other shit. (And sometimes the NYT outdoes them in parody and they just screenshot them and retweet them.)

 

This is a classic:

 

"It’s too bad Biden is so old because if he were younger, there’s no way people would just say they wouldn’t vote for him because he looks French or sighs too much or looks funny in a tank or is friends with Bill Ayres or uses a private email server."

Who told you that? Fox?  How many times do I need to say this, if Biden were actually showing signs of senility making him unfit to be president I for one would be all over it, I would be insisting something should be done.

 

He isn't, Fox etc. say it and the likes of you parrot it, with nothing to substantiate it. You have been hung out to dry.

Don't know how to post YouTube videos on here on the my phone. It's the one where he talks about Gaza and opening borders then said he talked to the President of Mexico about it, getting him mixed up with Israel.

And why is Fox any different to any other network. They all have political leanings to a certain party. I'll become tech savvy and post the videos when I can. Can obviously see this thread is left leaning as is the majority of the internet.
