Trump Gets the Corporate Death Penalty (And It's Getting Worse) “It’s not getting a lot of press but this is a blockbuster ruling that just put Trump’s entire business empire in jeopardy, and it’s just going to get worse for him.” “The judge cancelled the New York business certificates of all 131 companies related to Trump and his sons in New York, stripping the ability of the Trump family to do business in that state [...] this is similar to bankruptcy, but much worse. ”

Can you imagine having to go into jury duty and realizing it’s the Trump hush money case? And there’s Donald Trump sitting there scowling at you and his lawyers are making you read your tweets out from like 6 years ago about his terrible spray tan? I would just burst into tears on the spot. I’m not a strong person.

A fool and his money.

April 11, 2024

While much attention focuses on Donald Trump's apparent inability to satisfy the New York appeals court's inexplicably lowered bond of $175 million in his civil fraud conviction — down from $464 mill (plus interest) — little notice is being paid to the many other civil suits currently pending against the one-time president and full-time criminal. These litigations have the potential to end up bankrupting him for real. Here are some of them.

Doe vs. The Trump Corporation — A group of anonymous plaintiffs have filed a class action against the Trump family and their business, alleging the Trumps used their brand to scam investors into paying for worthless business opportunities.

Rep. Karen Bass et al. Incitement Suit — Ten members of the House of Representatives, aided by the NAACP, are suing Trump, Rudy Giuliani and two right wing militia groups for conspiring to forcibly prevent Congress from counting the Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021.

Eric Swalwell Incitement Suit — In suing Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Mo Brooks, California congressman Swalwell alleges they violated federal civil rights laws when they conspired to interfere with the Electoral College count on J6.

Three Capitol Police Suits — Bringing separate suits against Trump and his affiliates (like the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers), three groups of officers claim they were physically and emotionally injured by attackers that Trump instigated during the J6 riot.

Metropolitan Police Suit — Also seeking compensatory and punitive damages, the Washington, DC police are alleging the physical and emotional injuries they suffered were caused by Trump's incitement and that he directed, aided and abetted the insurrection.

All these legal actions are in various stages of litigation. And several have already seen judges reject Trump's routine motions to dismiss. But, of course, Trump will no doubt keep appealing any judgments against him until he finally runs out of courts.

Meanwhile, a New York judge has ordered Trump to pay The New York Times and three of its reporters nearly $400,000 to cover their legal costs for a lawsuit he filed that was dismissed. Trump sued them over a 2018 investigation into his finances that was based in part on confidential tax records. Incidentally, their series of articles won those journalists a Pulitzer Prize.

Trump has a long-standing propensity for attracting serious lawsuits as well as initiating frivolous ones. Both with adverse effects on his net worth. In addition to the half billion and more he has already been fined, look for the above litigations to separate the "stable genius" from even more of his (imaginary) wealth.

One America News is a Fox wannabe. Right-wing propagandists trying to be more Fox than Fox. Criminals, traitors, and domestic terrorists. Hopefully Smartmatic will sue them into oblivion.

You can tell a lot about people by the company they keep.

Kanye West (AKA: Ye) had been a frequent visitor to the Trump White House and to Mar-a-Lago. A couple of years ago Kanye had dinner with Trump and Nazi Nick Fuentes.

KanYe has been a Hitler fanboy for years. Additional evidence of his devotion to Der Führer was revealed this week in court in California. Apparently he has his own Christian school called Donda Academy – which he runs like a Nazi.

In a text message to the former employee, Trevor Phillips, Ye compared himself to Hitler — “minus the gas chambers” — and appeared to simulate masturbation during a one-on-one meeting in a Southern California hotel room where the musician watched “The Batman” on mute, according to the 47-page suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.  The suit accuses Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, of calling out Black people in a discriminatory manner and praising the Nazi leader, pushing employees to do renovations without permits and telling employees they could be fired for being "fat," the suit says. He temporarily stiffed workers after Adidas cut ties with the rapper over his antisemitic comments, when bank accounts at the rapper's clothing brand, Yeezy, had been frozen, the suit says.

Of course he's corrupt like his buddy Donald (source of the name "Donda"?).

Ye “gloated” to staff at Yeezy, his fashion brand, and Donda Academy, the rapper’s Los Angeles-area school, about using $2 million of the school’s budget for a trip to Paris, according to the suit.

You have to wonder about the sort of parents who would send their kids to a hellhole like Donda Academy. Thankfully, the "school" closed last year.

During a Sunday service at the school in May, in front of dozens of people, Ye angrily told Phillips he was fired over an apparent issue with a garden at the school, according to the suit. When a tearful Phillips told Ye that his daughter attended Donda and that he was grateful for the job because of a potentially serious medical condition, Ye allegedly responded with an expletive-laden “tantrum” in which the musician disparaged Phillips and his child, according to the suit. Ye then allegedly told Phillips: “I was going to punch you in the face.”

Trump stated that he want to be dictator on Day One and he hangs around with crazed Nazis. Don't say you haven't been warned.

Yooooo Cali is making moves to get Dur Orange Fuhrer off our ballot!

Granted nothing will be set til the New Year/we see what happens with Colorado's version but nonetheless I'm so proud of my state!

Aha, so I saw. Apparently there are also lawsuits underway in 16 other states, which.... I'm still 100% sure we will have to endure another election with him (GOD WHY NO GOD PLEASE), but it sure would be FUCKING NICE if even a few of them worked, especially in purple states. Obviously he wasn't going to win CA or CO anyway, but. Yeah.

Tucker Carlson out at Fox News

Final show is tonight, April 21st, 2023.

I'll accept not having him testify if it means he's out from cable news. Still a good thing.
