Why do I have a feeling the Shitgibbons luck isn't getting any better ?

https://apnews.com/article/new-york-cit ... 6fe1f336e6
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s chief financial officer is expected to plead guilty to tax violations Thursday in a deal that would require him to testify about illicit business practices at the former president’s company, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

Allen Weisselberg is charged with taking more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the Trump Organization over several years, including untaxed perks like rent, car payments and school tuition.

The plea deal would require Weisselberg to speak in court Thursday about the company’s role in the alleged compensation arrangement and possibly serve as a witness when the Trump Organization goes on trial in October on related charges, the people said.

The two people were not authorized to speak publicly about the case and did so on condition of anonymity.

Weisselberg, 75, is likely to receive a sentence of five months in jail, to be served at New York City’s notorious Rikers Island complex, and he could be required to pay about $2 million in restitution, including taxes, penalties and interest, the people said. If that punishment holds, Weisselberg would be eligible for release after about 100 days.

And just so you are aware, the bit fishfoodie underlined above (unfortunately) does not affect Donald J in any way. It is merely the organisation and only fines (not jail time) can be assessed following that case. A shame.

Just seen a bit about how unsecure Mar-A Lago is, and how he left all sorts of papers and shit lying around. Even had some foreigner carry his "nuclear code bag" (who knew that was a real thing).

The guy, as we all know, is not fit to run a bath, let alone the USA. How 70M people vote for him is a mystery to me.

I don't think it's realistic to think they'll ever put him in a small room with bars, but I do think they can take every penny he has, & that will hurt him in ways prison never could; & they also can bar him from ever running for Office again, & that's a bonus

Agreed. Although a small room with bars is still my preference. I think he needs to be convicted of something before they can stop him running, but not sure of details on that front.

THE FBI PLANTED THOSE DOCUMENTS BUT ALSO TRUMP HAD DECLASSIFIED THEM ANYWAY EVEN THOUGH HE DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE THERE AND OBAMA HAS 30 MILLION CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN HIS LIVING ROOM



There is no way to justify the unannounced RAID of Mar-a-Lago, the home of the 45th President of the United States (who got more votes, by far, than any sitting President in the history of our Country!), by a very large number of gun toting FBI Agents, and the Department of “Justice” but, in the interest of TRANSPARENCY, I call for the immediate release of the completely Unredacted Affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking BREAK-IN. Also, the Judge on this case should recuse!


Hard to tell which of these statements came from Drump and which is a parody...

Its the accumulation of imminent treats.

There is the NY case of sustained fraud, & tax evasion, that is a slam dunk; & while it is against the corporate entity; it puts the whole, "Shitgibbon Inc", into the category of a criminal enterprise, & could first of all bankrupt the entire company, & second, trigger RICO statues, as once everything about a company is obviously criminal, then it's only logic to suppose that those running it are engaged in organized crime !

Next you have the case down in Georgia, that has lots of people in the GOP squirming, because it's as clear a case of election tampering as you'll ever see, & we have the tapes, & testimony by Rudi, & all the memos & emails, & this clearly has the potential to result in criminal convictions that would result in people being barred from running for office.

Then you have the current, attack of the librarians; this also should be a slam duck, & very, very specifically includes a charge that specifically can result in being barred from running for office.

Finally; & one that's understandably dropped a bit off the radar; there's a long running case that got stalled by the shit stain, being in office; where was accused of sexual assault, denied it & defamed the victim; & managed to delay being forced to submit a DNA sample, because the victim still has the dress, & the attackers DNA sample, & you'd be a brave man to bet against those two DNA samples matching; & the 45th president of the US of A being found to be a sexual deviant, & having his arse sued for tens of millions, for defamation ! ... & how with that go down with those christian fundamentalist arseholes who still support him ?

It's deliciously ironic that the guy who famously didn't believe in having written records, to the point where he tore up notes & tried to flush them down the crapper; is now facing going down that same crapper himself, with all the other shit; has lost his declared defense, because he never bothered to write down a proper statement to his bullshit, "Standing Order", to declassify any document he took to his shitty golf club !

If he'd actually made such an order; & he absolutely had such powers, however perversely, he would now be absolutely be untouchable .... but he didn't !

Like the man said, if it isn't written down, it didn't happen.

Ah, he had the power to say it, but apparently that triggers a whole load of other groups getting involved - CIA, DOJ etc. So even if he said it and wrote it down, it wouldn't be true unless all these other parties signed off on it. And apparently, they wouldn't have. 11 of his former employees have found that argument laughable apparently.

The GOP and their Supremes are likely coming around to the thinking that a raped woman should be forced to marry her rapist to remove the stain on her character and by extension her shaming of her family, or maybe they're already there on that. Either way opprobrium for the rapist seems unlikely

That run in with the Scottish wind development has really burned his fragile little ego, hasn't it?

I do wonder whether he has ever experienced unconditional love from an adult in his entire life. Certainly he's never given it.

Is it this the same Miller and his staff your quote referred to?
Miller and his chief of staff, Kash Patel ..."We went to the Capitol Police and the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies and Mayor Bowser days before January 6, and asked them, 'Do you want thousands of National Guardsmen and women for January 6?'" Patel told Just the News in an interview earlier this year.

"They all said no. Why did we do that (go to them)? (because) The law requires them to request it before we can deploy them. And the DOD IG found we did not delay, we actually prepared in a preemptive fashion, which is what we do at DOD."

Patel said Wednesday that the Capitol Police timeline verifies the account he gave to Congress, "that DOD support via the National Guard was refused by the House and Senate sergeant at arms, who report to Pelosi."

"Now we have it in their own writing, days before Jan. 6," he told Just the News. "And despite the FBI warning of potential for serious disturbance, no perimeter was established, no agents put on the street, and no fence put up."


And further from Patel,
PATEL: “Yeah, thanks. Let me be clear. Mark Milley has testified under oath as the secretary miller and myself. We have always been consistent that the president authorized it. If Mark Milley had said anything otherwise, the committee including Adam Schiff would have leaked that information because it would advance their narrative ...

I would suggest that anything Kash Patel says should be taken with a very large grain of bath salts.
Patel now is a media brand of his own. He has a website, selling hoodies, tank tops and other gear with his logo, “K$H,” with the proceeds going to charity, according to the website and Patel’s spokeswoman. And he’s written a children’s book, “The Plot Against the King,” in which the evil Hillary Queenton tries to spread lies against King Donald claiming that he’s working with the Russionians — until a knight called Kash exposes the plot.

Trump seems to be claiming that he didn’t take anything he shouldn’t at the same time as saying he was cooperating already and sending back stiff he shouldn’t have taken.

Don't forget that anything it did take, was magically declassified by him taking it out of the WH, & we should all ignore the fact that none of it was actually stamped with the dirty big DECLASSIFIED ON DATE xx/xx/xx, as it would be if it had been declassified.

Another magnificent victory for the Orange turds Lawyers !

Three weeks after the Fed seized those boxes of documents from his trashy golf club, they finally got the Judge to appoint a special master, to, they hoped, block the FBI access to many of the documents.

One slight issue, is that the Feds immediately responded to the Judges order, to say that they've already gone thru all the documents they seized, & there's only a handful where attorney-client privilege may apply ..... they didn't make any mention of whether or not they also discover collusion between these lawyers & their client, which would immediately remove any privilege, but the Judge may make her own decision on that soon :think: :think:

So now it comes out, conclusively, that the FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that, if they didn’t, “Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election.” This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country. REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately

Well he might as well enjoy having his own personal SM outlet while it lasts, because it sounds like it'll be bankrupt in months; owing to him not paying his bills for months; & now because Lies Social is such an obvious fail, the buyers are doing their level best to back out of the deal they made to give $500m for a bucket of shit.

If he's really lucky, he won't have another failed business by the end of the year !

Terrible the way the FBI, during the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see. Thought they wanted them kept Secret? Lucky I Declassified

Seriously???? :lolno:

You wave your magic wand and miraculously declassify a document??
You twat.
The NDRA have already said you don't have any rights to possess them, the DOJ has said you don't have any rights to possess them..

Dumb fuck. The only thing it's doing, is trying to rile up it's dumb fuck redneck supporter base to rebel..

A couple of issues that may be of interest on the fringes of USA politics.
Watch out for the return of Palin in Alaska and a possible Democrat being elected in the mid terms. This may happen witj the Republicans vote being possibly split.

The other big bombshell is the startling drop in life expectancy especially in native Americans and Native Alaskans.
It really quite startling really. I think life expectancy for native Alaskans now is the same as the 1947 life expectancy for white Americans or something similar.

Better voting systems really do benefit moderates stopping extremists. Get really pissed off with parts of Labour not being keen on changing the voting system. Much prefer the Scottish and Welsh voting system to fptp. A ranked voting system would have made a huge difference last election.

Interesting... same as the Australian system they call 'Preferential Voting' where your voting slip allows you to number the candidates by preference and those votes flow on as individuals are eliminated.

Twenty-eight of those empty folders were found in Trump’s office, while another 14 were in a storage room elsewhere, the document shows.

And FBI agents found more than 10,000 government documents and photographs without classification markings, the filing shows. Among those were hundreds of photos and news articles, along with gifts, clothing, and books.

The bombshell revelations raise the prospect that the DOJ has not yet recovered the documents that would have been in the empty folders.

The DOJ is investigating possible crimes related to the removal of those and other government documents from the White House when Trump left office in Jan. 2021.

By law, such records must be turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/02/trump-f ... ealed.html

It's going to get increasing hard for anyone in the GOP to come out & pretend there's a defense for this.

I'm pretty sure that it's an offense, in itself, to mutilate any classified document, like removing it from its folder; & of course, everyone is now asking where the fucking contents of these folders is ?, & the shitgibbon can have no defense that doesn't mean admitting to further, more serious criminal offenses !

"I tore them up & flushed them down the shitter."
"I lost them."
"I gave them to the Russians"

You can see why the DNC is demanding a damage assessment; because, who knows what was in these folders?

It's not really surprising; the First Nation peoples were absolutely devastated by Covid, & the support for them was non-existent. I made a few donations to one Charity working to support the Navajo, & Hopi people, & the stories were terrible.

What's the deal with the empty folders?
I presume the contents are MIA?

Watch out for the return of Palin in Alaska and a possible Democrat being elected in the mid terms. This may happen witj the Republicans vote being possibly split.

The other big bombshell is the startling drop in life expectancy especially in native Americans and Native Alaskans.
It really quite startling really. I think life expectancy for native Alaskans now is the same as the 1947 life expectancy for white Americans or something similar.
I'll try and find the source.

I mean, by and large they're just out of sight, out of mind. There are just too few of them for it to be worthwhile for political actors to appeal to Native American issues.
