At least one of Trumpās four criminal trials is set to begin while the others are now in jeopardy
After five decades of playing fast and loose with the laws of New York, and a plenary of fraud, deception and corruption, legal appeasement seems to be declining and legal accountability seems to be ramping up as the proverbial hens are finally returning home to roost for the former Houdini of white-collar crime, Donald J. Trump.
First, there was the civil judgment of 5 million dollars awarded to the writer E. Jean Carroll by a federal jury of Trumpās peers. Then there was a second judgment of $83.3 million in damages awarded to Carroll by another jury of Trumpās peers for the additional defamatory statements that he continued to make after the first judgment was rendered for denying that he had sexually assaulted Carroll. And then there was the New York civil fraud decision by Judge Arthur Engoron holding Trump and his sons, Eric and Don, Jr. financially liable to the tune of more than $350 million underscoring āthe extent of Trump and the Trump Organizationās white-collar malfeasance.ā Last week, Judge Engoron turned down a request by Trumpās lawyers to postpone payment.
However, in the case of the historic $454 million judgment, āa figure that is growing by more than $100,000 in interest every day,ā Trump sought a stay yesterday in opposition to New York law that requires first forking over the entire amount in damages or putting up a cash bond for the same known in the New York civil court system as an āundertaking.ā
Trump also had previously done the same thing with the $83.3 million ruling by a jury in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit. Neither of these appeals should go anywhere and the clock is still ticking in each case and soon time will be up before Carrollās attorneys and then the New York attorney general Letitia James can start seizing the former presidentās assets and property.
It absolutely is not. There are two possible outcomes, in this month of this year related to this election, with 5 possible actions you can take:
Biden and trump.
If you pick a prog or liberal third, you pick a spoiler for Biden, and therefore assist trump.
If you pick a libertarian or conservative third you spoil trump, therefore assisting Biden.
If you pick Biden you help Biden.
If you pick trump you pick trump.
if you donāt vote at all, you assist the more populist candidate, and have no voice re any directed action of your least preferred candidate
There are zero other actual choices in this election.
For a future election, itās a great time to discuss more progressive candidates to not have another biden-like candidate.
Youāre acting like popular vote matters. What youāre saying only applies in like 3-5 states. I live in Connecticut. Bidens going to win Connecticut. Itās not going to be a significant help to him, because our puny electoral votes are never ever ever ever ever going to decide an election. It does not matter who I vote for in the presidential race. Lots of people are in the same boat as me, probably most of the country. I suggest you save your shit for Floridians and Ohioans.
āyour shitā. No need to be rude, sorry I didnāt describe each particular voting districtās individual game theory tree of options.
Nothing I said is wrong, just perhaps not exhaustively descriptive for your (or indeed many) folks position.
Do you like democracy? Can it be fixed? Are you pushing for election reform?
