Re: The Trump trial is already a shit show
I'm still at a complete loss as to why the State of NY feels it is entitled to receive $364 million in recompense.
If the verdict isn't overturned outright on appeal, at minimum the fine will be very sharply reduced.
I cannot stand Trump, but this ruling from the bench is bullshit. The prohibition against serving in an officer capacity for 2 or 3 years, I can somewhat understand, but the amount of the monetary fine is ludicrous. I also am confused as to how a case of this magnitude is not required to be a jury trial under law.

Re: The Trump trial is already a shit show
As I understand it Trump and his legal team were given the opportunity to have the case tried in front of a jury. His team (specifically Habba) failed to file or sign off on the paperwork that would have made it happen.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 5:34 pmI'm still at a complete loss as to why the State of NY feels it is entitled to receive $364 million in recompense.

As for the amount of money, it took some 80 million dollars to force Trump to no longer libel and harass E. Jean Carroll when a prior $5M judgement wouldn't stop him, so I don't think it's unreasonable for the state of New York to take the same tack. What would you have fined him?
EDIT: I'm watching Trump making his statement in Florida and even with a fine of $350M this fuckwit hasn't learned a thing.

Are we now up to 42 losses?bmw wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 1:59 pmTrump has been sued 1,929 times.
I don't know how TC Talks defines being "legitimately" sued, but Trump lost 41 of those cases.
https://www.azcentral.com/pages/interac ... -lawsuits/
So is 41 cases a lot to lose? Arguably. But it is literally 1 percent of the exaggerated 4000 number cited.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

The fine is meant to make a statement to him I am guessing. A $50 Million fine is a parking ticket.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 5:34 pmI'm still at a complete loss as to why the State of NY feels it is entitled to receive $364 million in recompense.

Jesus Christ. 355 million? I can't even comprehend the amount of money that is. How the hell do you pay that?

Re: The Trump trial is already a shit show
I just can't imagine the feeling I would have if someone said I had to pay 355 million bucks. I'm shocked by that number.Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 6:57 pmSell some shit?Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 6:52 pmJesus Christ. 355 million?

Where did I defend him? I did nothing more than call out your 100x exaggeration for what it was.TC Talks wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 4:21 pmBMW,
Your defense of Trump's legal history isn't winning you any points. It's embarrassing for him, and I haven't even started with lawsuits against his companies... He's a dirtbag.

I would point out though, that 41 losses out of 1929 times being sued amounts to losing 2.1% of the cases where he's sued. That's a lower percentage than the estimated 4-6% of inmates who are innocent of the crimes for which they were convicted. And the government in those cases had to overcome a much higher threshold (guilty beyond a reasonable doubt) to convict those people compared to Trump and his civil suits (guilty by a preponderance of the evidence). Put another way - sue any random person 1900 times for various things they've done in their life and that person is going to suffer some losses.

Trump should pull a Kwame kilpatrick and claim poverty and not pay it, or drag it out 20 years. He should have proactively Put everything in Melanie or Barons name.TC Talks wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:24 pmAMEX to get the points.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 6:52 pmJesus Christ. 355 million?

He claims to pay no taxes (“ stupid people pay taxes “) so he can claim no income, and transfer assets amongst family members.

Re: The Trump trial is already a shit show
Not anytime soon. Remember, his finances are being overseen by a court appointed "minder" to prevent the very thing you're describing. Not long ago Trump attempted to "move" around some funds and the minder shut that shit down in a New York minute.radiofann wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:38 pmTrump should pull a Kwame kilpatrick and claim poverty and not pay it, or drag it out 20 years.

Re: The Trump trial is already a shit show
It's true, Trump's corporations now have an executive level conservator approving everything.
