Here’s how the Western allies should respond to Putin executing Navalny:

Seize the $388 billion in Russian funds currently frozen in western bank accounts — and give it to Ukraine.

Today.

Critical part of Trump judgment that’s getting overlooked:

He’s now barred from getting any loans from any bank licensed in NY for 3 years

And most large banks, in US or anywhere, need NY license to have access to capital

Trump will have a LOT of trouble borrowing more cash

Judge Engoron did NOT get it all correct.

He walked back the cancellation of Trump's corporate charters in an inexplicable retreat. Trump ABSOLUTELY qualifies for that penalty as a repeat fraud offender.

The NY AG should appeal -- and they may still win.

The Trump Organization is now going to be leaderless.

Donald Sr., Donald Jr., and Eric are all out of the cockpit for years. Allen Weisselberg and Jeff McConney are out forever.

That leaves Ivanka, but she distanced herself from all of this.

Who's going to run the business?

You know one large gathering of people where guns are NOT allowed?

The NRA national convention.

I wonder why?

Republicans killed the border deal.

Republicans are killing Ukraine funding.

Republicans are WEAK on foreign policy and WRONG for America.

THAT is the message.

I’ve seen enough. I just ENDED my New York Times subscription. I’m DONE with their both-sides-ism and appeasement of fascism and America’s enemies.

What about you?

Donald Trump

• likes dictators better than freedom
• likes Russia better than America and its allies
• likes himself better than anyone else in the world

He does NOT put "America first."
He is putting Russia ahead of America.
And ultimately he always puts HIMSELF first.

Mainstream media's selective amnesia:

We already forgot about the report of drugs at the Trump White House.

We already forgot about how Mark Meadows, Trump's last chief of staff, walked out of the White House with a binder of classified docs related to Trump and Russia

WTF?

BREAKING: Judge Cannon is outing 25+ people who participated in the Mar-a-Lago investigation, forcing the government to hand the names over to Trump's lawyers.

This, after the govt argued that these witnesses are receiving threats online.

Dear Congressional Republicans:

Being in the pro-Putin caucus today will age about as well as being in the pro-Hitler caucus in 1938.

Choose wisely.

Joe Biden found govt docs and returned them.

Mike Pence found govt docs and returned them.

Donald Trump stole govt docs, refused to return them, lied about what he had, moved them to hide them from authorities, evaded subpoenas, showed them off, and covered up what he did.

My bet -- the Supreme Court will try to split the baby by refusing to disqualify Trump from the ballot -- but also refusing to declare Trump immune from prosecution.

Even shorter SCOTUS:

Trump will be on the ballot -- and also on trial.

Clarence Thomas will help decide whether what his wife Ginny Thomas did constituted an "insurrection" such that the former president of the United States violated the Constitution and thus should be disqualified from future office, because sure, that seems fair.

The Pottery Barn Rule also applies to border reform:

BREAKING: Judge Engoron dives into Allen Weisselberg perjury, asks lawyers for Trump & NY AG to reply by TOMORROW with with what they know about the situation.

Engoron also notes he may rule ALL of Weisselberg's testimony to have been false.

Trump's damages number is going UP.

tristansnell , 4 months ago to random

If Weisselberg is taking a deal, he has to reciprocate.

What is he giving the prosecutors in return?

1. Testimony in the upcoming hush money trial?

2. Testimony for a newly revived criminal fraud case against Trump?

3. Both?

tristansnell , 4 months ago to random

The case against Trump for fraudulent financial statements should ALWAYS have been a criminal case.

Manhattan DA had that case open -- then Alvin Bragg closed it.

NY AG Letitia James went ahead with civil case.

Allen Weisselberg's perjury may reopen criminal case.

tristansnell , 4 months ago to random

Weisselberg may have committed Perjury in the First Degree -- which is punishable in NY by up to 7 years in prison.

THIS is why Weisselberg is taking a plea deal.

And THIS is how Manhattan DA might've finally cracked Weisselberg -- creating a CRIMINAL FRAUD case against Trump.

BREAKING: Congressional Republicans are ALSO holding up a federal tax relief package -- so they can try to hurt Biden.

Senator Grassley (R-IA): “I think passing a tax bill that makes the president look good, mailing out checks before the election, means he could be reelected”

Trump needs new lawyers. Again.

Because Alina Habba messed up. Again.

And also because he often doesn’t pay his lawyers — or other vendors — so he needs to find new marks to con.

RULE 1:

Total buy-in from the top leadership — then they need to get out of the way and let the prosecutors work.

Donald Trump hates Taylor Swift:

• for having more fans than him
• for being more likable than him
• for actually having talent, unlike him
• for actually being a billionaire and successful business mogul, unlike him

I can NOT wait for E. Jean Carroll and Robbie Kaplan to write a book about their experiences taking down Trump.

Total masterclass in grace under fire, bravery, smarts, and determination.

Susan Collins is not endorsing Donald Trump.

But Susan Collins already did Trump's bidding:

1. Cast deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh

2. Refusing to convict Trump in the 2nd impeachment trial

Sorry, Susan. Too little, too late.

And you have NOT learned your lesson.

US wars in Afghanistan/Iraq = $6 trillion, 7000+ US service members killed

US aid to Ukraine to repel Russia = $75 billion, 0 US service members killed, Russian army wrecked

Iraq/Afghanistan cost EIGHTY TIMES as much, with way less benefit

Our Ukraine policy is WORKING.

Why does Trump go to these trials? It actually hurts him legally, every time he opens his mouth. So WHY?

❌ trying to provoke judge into overreacting and creating an issue that he can appeal

❌ trying to intimidate opponent

✅ playing the victim to con his fans into donating

tristansnell , 5 months ago to random

If the president does it, it's legal" was also Nixon's defense.

It didn't work for him, and it's not going to work for Trump either.
