Trump's problems with the law are not limited to the 91 felony counts in the four indictments mentioned in the cartoon.

Trump’s business empire could collapse ‘like falling dominoes’ after ruling

According to Michael Cohen, his former attorney and fixer, Trump is already effectively “out of business” in New York after Judge Arthur Engoron on Tuesday rescinded the licenses of the Trump Organization and other companies owned by Trump and his adult sons, Eric and Don Jr. “Those companies will end up being liquidated … the judge has already determined that the fraud existed,” Cohen told CNN, hailing Engoron’s pretrial ruling in a civil case brought by Letitia James, the New York attorney general. On Wednesday morning, in a confrontational post on his Truth Social website that branded the judge a “political hack”, Trump said Engoron “must be stopped”. At a hearing on Wednesday afternoon, Trump’s legal team asked Engoron if his ruling meant Trump’s assets and businesses must be sold, or if they could continue to operate under receivership. Engoron said he would address the issue at the non-jury trial beginning on 2 October, and extended to 30 days his original 10-day deadline for both parties to suggest names to act as receivers for the various companies. The lawyers have said they will appeal the rescinding of the licenses, the appointment of receivers, and Engoron’s assertion that Trump and executives lived in a “fantasy world” of routinely, repeatedly and illegally overvaluing property values and his personal net worth to gain favorable loan terms and reduced insurance premiums. But if the appeals are unsuccessful, the collapse of the Trump empire, upon which the former reality TV host staked his reputation as a successful business tycoon, could be imminent.

Trump's undeserved reputation as a brilliant businessman has more to do with his defunct TV show than with real life. So-called "reality shows" seldom have anything to do with everyday reality.

Trump's had six bankruptcies – and if he didn't get a huge amount of money from his wealthy father, he'd be lucky to own even a bodega in Queens.

At least in New York State, the Trump Organization may now be going out of business.

A Case For Frozen Blue Berries

I shared a person’s comment on Facebook the other day that called for the end of perks to members of Congress until they started legislating. Many on my thread favored the idea. No one opposed it. The citizenry, it appeared, was united in its impatience with its leaders. Unfortunately, the politics that divide elected officials stem from old divisions in the country. Since the Civil War, the government has limped into the future like a horse yoked to a mule. The horse valued freedom. The mule wanted freedom, too, but not for everyone. The difference in values seems to have grown deeper of late, leaving the rule of law as the sole means of uniting the nation. Laws are the outcroppings of reasonable minds, and there’s little of that in evidence these days. The Chair of the Democratic Party recently declared that members of his conference who opposed Joe Biden’s Presidential run were certifiably crazy. I agree, but to be fair, certifiably crazy extends beyond democrats. House Republicans hold a slim majority in that body. Even so, without cause, they dared to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Heady with their narrow victory, they plan to impeach Joe Biden, also without cause. Arbitrary and capricious decision-making is akin to the logic judges apply in beauty contests. No wonder the Supreme Court is tossing out appeal after appeal as if sorting through a tub of rotten fish. Common sense would have settled many of these cases if common sense were in fashion. That it has lost favor explains how Donald Trump’s acolytes can applaud his 2024 Presidential bid despite his 91 felony counts. Compare their values to those applied to Richard Nixon in the 1970s when Republicans and Democrats agreed on the difference between right and wrong. Today, when insanity passes for normalcy, it’s not only troubling but painful to watch. Members of the Republican Congressional delegation behave like contortionists. Twisting and squirming, they struggle to justify the madness though not in service to their country but to their careers. Had their defense of Trump been genuine, their delusion would be worthy of pity, the way we might react to see a man on his hands and knees barking like a dog. But as the conduct is nefarious, their affliction exposes the degree of decay in our body politic and leaves one to wonder how long democracy can survive. To answer the question, I will tell a story. While grocery shopping one day, I stopped at the frozen food section looking for a package of blueberries. The shelf was too high for me to reach, so I turned to a red-bearded young man a few paces to my left. He was perusing food entrees at the time, suggesting that he lived alone. His personal story was of no interest to me, however, What drew me to him like a bee to pollen was his height. “Excuse me,” I said sidling next to him. “Could you reach a packet of blueberries for me? My arms are too short.” Offering no objection, the young man followed me to the fruit section of the freezer and sifted through the packets on the top shelf with his large hand. Seconds later, he delivered the bad news. “Just blackberries, I’m afraid.” “Oh no,” I cried like an addict in need of a fix. “And I’ve none at home.” Unable to hide my disappointment, I thanked the young man for his trouble and headed my cart in the direction of the bread counter. Maybe I could find a blueberry muffin? A short time later, a hand touched my shoulder. “I did a little reconnoitering,” said the young man with the beard as I looked up. ”These blueberries were at the back, lying on their side. I thought you might like to have them.” He shrugged as he tossed the fruit into my basket and started to walk away, but not before I told him he’d earned a gold star for his effort. A silly remark, worthy of kindergarten, I was surprised to see a smile part his lips. For a moment, we shared a recollection, one that reminded me that I was old and he was so young! Watching him walk away, I doubted I’d ever see him again. No matter. To the universe, I sent a wish on his behalf. “Please, let this young man find a loving companion.” Encounters of this kind are common every day in grocery stores. And that’s my point. Strangers are often being kind to strangers. The young man who’d done a little reconnoitering on my behalf was one of them. He’d gone a step further than expected. My disappointment was trivial, yet it had moved him. Compassion is the jewel in the crown of human emotion. Alexi Navalny who died for his countrymen had it. His wife, Yulia Navalnaya seems equally prepared to make the same sacrifice. When I think of this couple, I am reminded of a line from Casablanca. Of all the gin joints in all the towns in the world…” they’d found each other, loved, and clung to each other for as long as Vladamir Putin would allow. I’m not sure why some who suffer grow kinder while others turn cruel. We humans know so little about ourselves. Scientists, for example, have discovered an obelisk in the human body. They don’t know why it exists, but they do know it contains information our cells can read. What is its message, I wonder? Can the obelisk explain differences in human character? We must wait for science to solve the puzzle…today, tomorrow, or a thousand years hence. In the meantime, if free will exists, each day we make choices about how to live…in the grocery store, within the family, at work, or on the battlefield. Life’s challenges may cause some to lose their senses. If we value ours, we will oppose them. Still, I prefer to see the world as overflowing with red-beared young […]

Imagine selling “never surrender” merch with the photographic evidence of your surrender?

Like girly pop settle down, it’s not that deep you just have 91 felonies. And surrendered to the courts for all of them. And won’t be able to receive any pardon for the most recent list of GA ones because it’s state not federal. And said state has an actual law preventing the pardoning of said felonies. Said law wasn’t even created for you in particular like I can see coming down the line as an argument towards the “unfair nature of these accusations.” This law existed before you were born. Just settle your citrus and enjoy the white collar prison we all know you would go to. Lord knows they would never put you in Gen Pop.

Quote

“Trump really cares only about retribution for himself, and it will consume much of a second term,” wrote former national security adviser John Bolton. Bolton went on to describe Trump’s fondness for humiliating people, and his unwillingness to consider anything that doesn’t offer a benefit for himself. This is all Trump is concerned about. Trump, and Trump alone, is all that remains of the Republican Party. Add on 91 felony counts, a recent loss in a huge fraud case, and a second round of losses to a woman he sexually assaulted in a department store, and the Republican Party is left bending the knee to a three-time loser who is going to spend most of 2024 in court and stands a very real chance of spending 2025 in jail. No platform. No plan. And a heavily damaged candidate who has already enjoyed a seven-year string of unbroken losses. Republicans have nothing to run on but chaos, and nothing to look forward to but the fear that they’ll be Trump’s next target.

Republicans see the writing on the wall, and it signals disaster for them

Everything Trump touches dies. Hopefully, the GOP is the last thing he ruins before he spends the rest of his life in prison.

How scared are you of another Trump Presidency?

Fucking petrified.

I know people think it's hyperbole or an election year exaggeration, but I genuinely think our democracy is on the brink of collapse because of his actions, rhetoric, and the dangerous cult of personality he's been able to indoctrinate tens of millions of Americans to blindly and ignorantly follow. Look no further than the fact that a majority of the Republicans in Congress have endorsed or indicated that they intend to endorse the person who incited an insurrection against the Constitution and against THEM just three years ago. They are supporting a former President who was impeached twice and has been charged with 91 felonies under four separate criminal indictment. That is their standard-bearer. And even if you could strip away all the lying and the criminal charges and the narcissism and the threats and the bizarre behavior, he was still just straight-up shockingly terrible at leading the country and doing the job he was elected to do.

He is a cancer and I'm terrified at the prospect of him being unleashed upon a country that is already very, very sick.

Do you have any idea why people are so fixated on Biden’s age but not Trumps? I know he’s 81, but Trump isn’t exactly far behind at 77: in fact he’s the second oldest. This keeps stumping me: it’s not a big gap in age

There are a few reasons for this, yes. As you might imagine, all of them are very stupid.

First and most critically is the way Trump's violent extremism has been completely neutered, mainlined, and normalized by the mainstream media. That's why we still have said media largely treating this as a normal presidential election, instead of that of a successful incumbent against literally the most deranged, unfit, treasonous, criminally and civilly liable, already-led-an-attempted-coup, deep-in-hock-to-Russia, adjudicated rapist, 91-felony-counts-indicted career cheater, grifter, and failed businessman who nonetheless appeals to the still-very-powerful isolationist, racist, white supremacist, and Christian nationalist elements in this country. Crucially, he also appeals to the billionaire class that owns the media and who will benefit from Trumpian tax, economic, and labor policies (especially now that Biden used the SOTU to once more call for a minimum 25% corporate/billionaire tax rate). The media also openly wants Trump back in office, as all the shitass insane things he did (and will do) are good for ratings, and allows them to act like the Principled Truth Tellers, instead of shilling so hard for a greasy orange fascist that we may well lose our 250+ year old democratic republic if he, God forbid, is elected again. Profit is more, well, profitable than truthful reporting, so the media has been completely disincentivized to cover this in any accurate way. We presume they will all wake up with shocked Pikachu faces when Trump packs them off to concentration camps with everyone else he hates, as he has openly promised to do.

Because we're also starting from an underlying premise that everything is the Democrats' fault, this means the party should be blamed for running said successful incumbent for reelection, even if he has low poll numbers which have in fact largely been produced by the media's relentlessly stupid and dishonest coverage. I was reading an article in the AP today about how 15 major student/youth groups have endorsed Biden and plan to work for his reelection; even so, the author could.not.stop going on and on about how Zomgz Old Biden was and how supposedly most Americans thought he was mentally unfit for the job (which is a straight-up lie produced by the endless "Zomgz Biden Old!!!!" handwringing have been subjected to without end. Weird how that works). That is also why we have all those idiotic "Biden should step down!!!" opinion pieces by Very Smart Pundits, notwithstanding the fact that a) it would be completely insane, b) it would be completely insane, and c) somehow nobody seems to think that hey, maybe the Republicans shouldn't nominate an openly seditionist generally god-awful fascist shitweasel who has already been the worst thing to happen to American politics in the twenty-first century (I'd say also the twentieth century, but unfortunately that was when we had Reagan).

In other words, Trump is just taken as a given, while the media spends all its time attacking Biden, calling on Biden to step down, amplifying "concerns" about Biden's age, producing idiotic narratives about Biden, distorting or ignoring the things Biden has done, and then writing concern-troll navel-gazing pieces earnestly wondering why people don't like Biden. (Apparently people's opinion of Biden drastically improves when they learn what he's actually accomplished, but the relentless parade of lies somehow makes it difficult for them to learn what those actually are. Again, weird.) Likewise the endless coverage we get of Biden's smallest slips or stumbles, while the media resolutely ignores Trump's full-on recent descent into absolute raving dementia. Hello, double standards!

This is also fueled by a heaping helping of racism and misogyny, because if God forbid Biden does die in office, what happens? The vice president takes over! We have a clear and constitutionally established precedent for this that has happened many times before! Except, oh no scary!!!, Biden's vice president is a brown woman, and that means SHE WOULD BE IN CHARGE!!!! TERRIFYING!!! So all the scaremongering around Biden's age, aside from being generally dishonest and stupid, has as its implicit message that sure, maybe you're fine voting for an old white man, but are you really comfortable doing that if it means a brown woman might also have the chance to be president?? I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!

Anyway, yes. It's a complete straw man argument, it's fueled by bad faith and stupidity, and as with most things in the current American media environment, it's geared toward helping Trump win. Because you know. Something something BUT HER EEEEEEEEEEEEMAILS BUT BIDEN WAS OOOOOOOOOOOOLD.

Honestly, the Republicans floating the idea of Trump as Speaker, the guy with 91 felony charges who just got a gag order for shit talking court officials online while he was in court, is the most honest they've ever been about who they really are.

"Hurt dogs sure do holler." That was the saying that came to mind in 2008 when then-candidate for president Barack Obama drew outrage from Republicans because he described their voters as "bitter" people who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them." The phrase came to mind again in 2016, when Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used the memorable phrase "basket of deplorables" to describe supporters of Donald Trump. Since a cardinal rule of politics is "insult your opponent, but never their voters," the mainstream media picked up and amplified the umbrage-taking from Republicans.

What wasn't discussed very much in all this media coverage: The truth value of either Clinton's or Obama's comments. And what a shame, because both of them were right.

New polling out this week from CBS News proves, as many feared, Trump's fourth set of indictments — he now faces 91 felony charges across four jurisdictions — has only caused the GOP to rally around their seething orange leader. (And let's not forget this comes after a jury recently found him responsible for sexual assault.) Trump has surged to 62% support in the Republican presidential primary poll, and 73% of those backing Trump say it's because, not despite, of his massive criminal exposure.

And, in a poll finding that really is astonishing, Trump voters claimed they trust the notorious fraudster more than anyone. A whopping 71% of Trump voters claim "what he says is true." Only 63% of them say that about family and friends, 56% about conservative media figures and 42% about religious leaders.

The word that comes to mind is "cult."

if this is accurate to the charges that are brought against Trump it would bring to 91 the number of felonies Trump is facing in Federal and State Courts.

"The average US president has been convicted of 1.98 (so about 2) felonies."

Is actually a statistical error.

The average president has committed about 0 felonies. Felony Georg (also known as Donald Trump), who has been charged with 91 felonies, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

GOP has gone rancid—and it isn't fair decent people have to keep cleaning up after them

D. Earl Stephens

April 23, 2024 5:27AM ET

People await the arrival of former U.S. President Donald Trump at a rally for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) at the Miami-Dade Country Fair and Exposition on November 6, 2022 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

I’ve heard more than enough from people identifying as Republicans to last for whatever is left of my life.

By words and actions, Republicans have proven they are not serious people, and most definitely do not love or care for our country. We have learned without any doubt during the past decade that there is no line they won’t cross, rule they won’t break, or lie they won’t tell to further their dirty causes, which have absolutely nothing to do with making America great.

They are incapable of good governance, and have settled into mob rule. The Republican-led House of Representatives is a complete and nasty joke, where members literally elbow and hiss at each other, and that is both true and terribly, terribly sad.

With help from our inept Justice Department and a bought-off Conservative Supreme Court, Republicans are making a mockery of the notion that our nation is protected by the rule of law. They know better than anybody, that this simply is not true.

They have exploited a system they have learned to eagerly spit on by refusing to allow nominations for Supreme Court Justices in some cases, while rocketing other Conservative nominees through the Senate in record time.

READ: Breaking our democracy is all part of the GOP plan

They call violent terrorists who attack our country hostages, and expect the press to keep swallowing it whole, because that’s what they do.

Cheating and underhandedness is in their DNA.

They are long past the point of no return, and will either pay for their felonious behavior, or will somehow be rewarded for it at the polls this November, in which case we are done with our Democratic experiment after 248 years.

It is now up to Democrats to once again save this nation from the sick arsonists eagerly trying to burn it to the ground, and that is helluva lot to ask, and isn’t remotely fair.

Here’s a damn truth we don’t hear near enough about: If the Democratic candidate for president was facing 91 felony counts, had been convicted of fraud, was a serial abuser of women, told a documented 30,573 lies in four years, spread a big, toxic lie about an election he lost, and praised dictators, the party and the people who support it, would drop him/her like a rock.

He or she wouldn’t stand a chance. They’d be banished to the nearest dumpster. No decent person would want to be associated with such obvious scum.

The people who vote on the Left and the Right in this country are not remotely the same, and I am way past sick and tired of hearing that they are.

Something as despicable and odious as Donald J. Trump could NEVER happen in the Democratic Party. We simply would not allow it.

That right there is an ironclad fact.

Democrats and left-leaning people are not perfect, because no person is, but we still believe in truth, decency and manners. ALL children are important in our world, which is why we believe feeding them and getting them the healthcare and the childcare they need is vital, and far more important than paying the taxes of filthy-rich, bloated billionaires. We still believe that how the United States projects itself to rest of the world and our children means something.

We love our country, warts and all.

We still believe that when we’ve made mistakes, or said stupid, hurtful things we should apologize for them, not recklessly double down like ill-bred maniacs.

We have not, and will not, surrender to the lowest form of life like Trump. It is simply not in us.

As of this writing, I am officially DONE listening to the unmitigated gall that “both sides do it” or “both parties are the same” because that’s a complete load of bullshit. It is brutally insulting to the tens of millions of people in this country who play by the rules, believe all people are created equal, and still know a damn lie, or attack on our country when they hear it and see it.

The people who populate the Left and Right in our country are wired differently, and it’s time this was said out loud, and repeatedly. It is also long past time our media reported this. Especially because they know it to be true.

In the newsrooms where I used to work, if something so obviously bad and as evil as Trump and his enablers had burst on the scene, we would have been sounding alarms and reporting on it 24/7. The man means us and our country harm. We know this because he is SHOWING US AND TELLING US THIS.

There is seldom a day that goes by without him saying or doing something revolting and egregious. The media doesn’t even bother asking his Republican followers in Congress to account for his larceny anymore. They just accept it as somehow normal when it most certainly is not and never can be.

There are two sides to the story that should be told in America right now. One is called, good, the other is called, evil.

The only reason our national press does not report on this legitimately and accurately is simply because they are pathetic cowards, plain and simple. They know they are failing, but are carrying on despicably, anyway.

I’ll always have ammo to burn addressing their egregious behavior these days, but for now, I want to continue unwinding this thread of how the Left and Right are completely different and how unfair it is that we have to deal with the never-ending recklessness on the Right.

Back in 2015, when Trump laughably announced he’d be seeking the Republican nomination for president, many prominent Republicans rightfully scoffed at the possibility. You’ll get no better example than Lindsey Graham’s evergreen tweet: “If we nominate Trump we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.” Graham went on to call Trump, “a jackass.”

The Bushes, Rubios, and other red-blooded Republicans all saw Trump for what he was: completely disgusting and ridiculous. That was before the big-mouth, lifetime loser started blasting them off the debate stage by imitating a slobbering, belligerent drunk at the end of the bar.

Instead of bouncing him from the party, they allowed him to play to the delight of the silent minority in America, who had watched him bravely fire people on his TV show, and lick his toilet seat by degrading President Obama with his putrid, racist, noxious birther blather.

These were the fine people whose tongues bled from self-censoring the bile that flowed from their broken brains, into their big, fat mouths, and had taken centuries to finally go out of taste in this country. It killed them that there were actually awful, hurtful things they could not say out loud anymore.

Now they were free to be themselves again, and let the sludge flow freely from their chapped lips.

Their freedoms had nothing to do with breaking free from any chains, or breaking glass ceilings. No, their freedoms meant having the permission from the very top to be just as disgusting and appalling as they wanted to be. It meant belittling the disabled, and dragging women into the gutter. It meant coddling Nazis and calling cities that terrified them with their sophistication, “s--t holes.”

Before we knew it Nazis and white suprematists were coming out of their caves everywhere and lighting their tiki torches. They were finally on the march to the point of no return, where their disgusting leader was waiting to tell them that he loved them.

Once you have coddled a racist, a traitor, a two-timer, a friend of our enemies, an environmental terrorist, a serial liar, and a sociopath, you are completely lost and broken. Done.

Now the mob rules the Republican Party, which makes it fitting they are represented by this two-bit thug, who is currently sitting in a court room for hiding campaign money he paid to an adult movie star he slept with named Stormy, while his wife was at home caring for a newborn.

Yeah, that’s good and wholesome and normal right there.

A few have broken free of the madman’s grip in the Republican Party, while others have tried, and have crumpled into a heap and back into the mud and slime.

In February, Trump’s very own attorney general, the morally corrupt, Bill Barr, stumbled into bravery and truth when he said that voting for Trump would be “playing Russian roulette with the country.”

By this past Wednesday he had once again devolved and said, but “I’ll support the Republican ticket” if Trump leads it.

Also in February, New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu said of Trump: “A--holes come and go. But America is here to stay.”

On Sunday, he admitted he had changed his tune and said: “Look, nobody should be shocked that the Republican governor is supporting the Republican president.”

That’s exactly right, governor: A--holes come and go, and apparently you will do everything you can to hang around for a while. You are a revolting person, sport.

Nobody should be surprised by these things anymore, because the Republican Party is irredeemable and incapable of surprises. They can ALWAYS go lower, and prove it literally every day.

This is what happens when you are morally busted and are not bound by any rules or self-control that guides the rest of us.

This is what happens when you surrender to depravity.

This is what happens when you rubber stamp abuse of women, lies, insurrection and support for dictators as anything in the vicinity of normal.

So what happens when standing by the truth and playing by the rules gets you nowhere as a political party and as a country? What happens when millions discover there is no justice and a depraved mad man once again has the keys to the kingdom?

Thanks to the Barrs and the Sununus, and the tens of millions of below-average, broken-down Republicans littering our country, we are terrifyingly close to finding out.

It is up to the Left to take out the garbage once again in America, because the Right has lost its damn mind, as well as its sense of taste and smell.

At what point can all this FINALLY be delivered as fact and shouted on Page 1?

At what point can we quit pretending that both sides are even remotely the same?
