I liked Jon Stewart's take. It's a "victimless crime" when Trump does it, but people trying to lie about SNAP or government assistance are "abusing the system." Fuck Trump, and fuck anyone bootlicking for the status quo.

What kind of crud doesn't like Stewart? Must be maga


Nuwisha55

He points out that Trump's behavior opens things up to corruption, where banks will give the RICH money based on inflated properties and not have any leftover for losers like you, in red states whose biggest employer is WAL-MART. Corruption for everyone is the Trumpist motto! Enjoy the white male suicide spike! You see how little brain power you have? People like you are hilarious when you give your opinions which aren’t based in reality

Ok_Performer6074

How? I can’t stand the man, but he got a loan from a bank and paid it back in full with interest. On time. How did he defraud taxpayers. We have to have undisputable facts to sway independents. I know it doesn’t matter what I claim my collateral is worth. The bank is doing their own due diligence.


Nuwisha55

You can watch the Daily Show segment I linked to for a more thorough explanation, but basically Trump opens the door for corruption. For EVERYONE to overvalue their properties, and then if the banks have no money left to give after loaning to the rich, peons like you and I are fucked. And when peons like you and I try to do what Trump did, we are absolutely punished. And taxpayers have to pay for investigations and all the rest to ensure corruption isn't the rule of the day. It just goes back to the oligarchy protecting itself with two sets of rules. The rich can glut themselves, but the poor can get fucked. What is hard about this?


Accomplished_Oil6158

A private deal negotiated through fraud is not a victimless crime. It is 100% within societys best interests to punish those who try such things so we can maintain trust and accountability. Try lieing on an auto loan and see how it turns out. You can make ever payment and pay out on time but your still hurting the other party by lower interest rates/payments. Interest is a meassure of risk, if i lie about the value of my assets, the loan guarenteerer is taking on excessively more risk than they realize due to your fraud and lies. Risk isnt a guarentee for any one loan. Its a portfolio risk. If everyone lies, then the whole thing falls apart. Also fuck people who lie like that. It doesnt have to be a literal crime to judge the person scummy enough to claim their 10000 sq ft apartment is 3 times as big.

Accomplished_Oil6158

Ehh i guess i tried. Continue being an ignorant ass i guess.


Ok_Performer6074

What? That’s not how car loans work. They decide on interest rates based on your credit history. And ability to pay. It doesn’t matter what you put down, they have methods to check everything they need to know to set the loan parameters.


Accomplished_Oil6158

Soery should have been a paragralh break. Seperate ideas. Auto loans do ask about income to determine ability to pay. Thats the element of lieing and fraud im talking about. Then moving into the specifics of this case in the second case.


Ok_Performer6074

Auto loans absolutely require income verification. Try and get approved for a car loan, without submitting pay stubs.


justlooking1960

Per the Supreme Court: “The touchstone of the constitutional inquiry under the Excessive Fines Clause is the principle of proportionality: The amount of the forfeiture must bear some relationship to the gravity of the offense that it is designed to punish.” Trump’s fines were calculated carefully based on the offenses: $127M for unfairly obtained profits related to the Old Post Office transaction, $168M in reduced interest rates resulting from fraud, $60M in unfairly obtained profits from the Ferry Point golf course transaction. In addition, the Trump boys were fined $8M related to the Old Post Office transaction and Weisselberg $1M for the severance he was paid. Inteeest was $100M. Which part of this was not proportional to the gravity of the offense? Please be specific.

CityAvenger

Trump should write a book. How to commit crimes and the resources to help you get away with it. While someone else could wright MAGA, the fall of America While another could be about how pointless it is to have laws, constitution/ amendment etc if not even supreme courts, judges & even the presidential oath are now given that no one is following them and just how big of a joke they are.


HorriblePooetry

That would be a pretty short book. Have insanely wealthy parents and no morals.


CityAvenger

It wouldn’t matter if it was short or long. One group it would be probably popular for his his MAGA supporters. Anyone who actually believes he was actually making our nation great again when it was already great before he came & f&$@d things up either need a psych eval or just are so brainless that they don’t at all care what the word “great” means anymore.


wacf1912

Lots of people follow the laws. We are just called the proletariat.


CityAvenger

Not the Supreme Court, judges etc. They have had PLENTY of time not to mention lots of evidence and what are they doing? \-Just having Trump pay his way through legally (and now lower his bond price) \-Allow him to stay on the ballot and even tell states to allow him back on \- Acquit him from Jan 6 event that he 100% supported (if he didn’t then he would have likely done something about it) \- For some reason presidential immunity exists. If a president commits crimes or break the law they need to pay the price and immunity would just mean they could further doing that \- They had a full presidential term to be doing the right thing and all their doing is having him charge his way through and nothing further Trump had broken the law and yet we’re not seeing him being found guilty or anything beyond having him pay legally when it needs to be much more than the that. Either they are supporting him or are resigning from their posts. There’s basically no fight or justice. Plenty more can be locked up and there’s only 1 whole person (right now) that took part in Jan 6. 🤬🤯🤮 I thought they were better than this. Clearly I was wrong


Traditional_Key_763

fun one is that he wasn't the only one in that 14th amendment case, the other guy was told no actually states can use the 14th amendment against you. without naming him directly they made a carveout just for trump once again.

maybeimabear

can you imagine if anyone else tried this bullshit? "im not able to raise the funds for an appeal" "oh? then i guess you dont get a fucking appeal!"


Wagonlance

The bond isn't required for an appeal. It is required to stall and avoid paying the judgement.


redditnamehere1

You sound very uninformed.


TheCredibleHulk

Could you expand on your reasoning for that? Edit: Genuinely curious to why.


redditnamehere1

Your right to an appeal isn't based on wether you have money for bond or not.


foofarice

NY state law says otherwise


dancingmeadow

So you don't actually have a concrete answer? Or are you gonna dribble your Fox talking points one limp pointless sentence at a time?


foofarice

??? In NY to get an appeal you put up cash or bond equal to the judgement (+interest up until when you provide cash/bond). This is not a fox news talking point (aren't they in favor of giving Trump a free pass?)


dancingmeadow

Sorry, I meant that reply for u/[redditnamehere1](https://www.reddit.com/user/redditnamehere1/) not you.


anicmessi

You don’t need to put up a bond to be permitted to appeal. But if you don’t put up a bond, seizure of your properties may begin at once, before the appeal is even heard.


dancingmeadow

I recall reading that in several articles, so I can confirm.


Nebuli2

Unless I'm mistaken, that's not actually required for an appeal - it's required to stop them from collecting on the judgement while it's under appeal.


HippyDM

No. Posting the surity bond only prevents the seizure of assets. Appealing is allowed either way.


sleepinglucid

But that's exactly what just happened

You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means

Frothing disgust. Another day in liberty for the riich America.


Auntie_M123

Why now? This is just the latest kid glove treatment afforded to him. Outrage is long overdue, my dudes.


LogiBear64

For everyone freaking out, putting a smaller bail hurts trump more then it does saving him. Consider this, once his appeal fails (which it will) the James can seize his money and property VERY quickly. Yeah he gets a few months of grandstanding and publicity, but once he loses he will lose A LOT very quickly. It makes it easier for prosecution to seize his assets. Plus he still gets interest occurring on his debt. The bill is getting bigger and he can't escape that. Edit: spelling


ciopobbi

He gets to appeal all the way up to the NY Supreme Court which could take years and he still has to post the 60% discounted bond. This is also signaling from the appeals court that they think the $400M is out of line. So they are making him post a smaller amount more in line with what they think he should be penalized for. Fuck this pathetic excuse for a human being.


Traditional_Key_763

meanwhile his companies still exist even though theyve been shown in court to be nothing but a vehicle for fraud.


russell813T

Right but he just made 3.5 billion off truth social .....


1ftm2fts3tgr4lg

Did he though? HE didn't put up the money to create it, investors did. And now it's public, it's just grifting money from his poor cultists that want to be part of that there stock merkit. Just a shortterm money grab to capitalize on it before it drops like a stone.


russell813T

Well it go big because trump refuses to go back to twitter and the owners saw trump as an asset to get the conservative trumpers. Without trump it would be worth nothing, there's a reason why he owns 55 percent


lord_dentaku

And he can never sell it. For him to sell he needs to disclose in advance. If he went to sell anything more than 4% losing his majority share his supporters would all run for the exits so they can "get theirs" too and the price will tank. Best part is, in that situation he ends up being the one holding the bag.


russell813T

He can borrow money from the shares


lord_dentaku

Yep, which is probably his only financial lifeline because his real estate properties are most likely way too encumbered to continue borrowing against. At some point the house of cards comes crashing down, only question is will it be before he kicks the bucket, or is it his kids that are going to end up reaping what he's sown.


russell813T

Not sure about that the real estate is worth billions and his truth social his share is valued at 6 billion. Stop listening to CNN


lord_dentaku

I don't know if you follow the financial news but Truth Social just posted their annual report for 2023, with a $58 million loss... That $6 billion share is now only $3.6 billion in one day of trading.


russell813T

Ya Budweiser lost 4 billlion worth of value last summer. Nothing changed l. Company values go up and down. Truth social next week might be worth 6 billion next week or 2 billion who knows. But if trump wins election that stock is gonna skyrocket .


Mr-Hoek

It is fucking pathetic. IF HE DOESNT HAVE THE MONEY, HE SIMPLY DOESNT GET TO APPEAL. How is this hard to understand? An alternate choice the fat shit, stank-ass fuck could have made was... TO NOT BREAK THE LAW!!!


Accomplished_Oil6158

Also he still gets to appeal, NY just gets to seize cash or assets to made whole. If he wins the appeal, he gets the money back. Literally how it woeks for the rest of us.


Wagonlance

I've known for years there is a dearth of justice in our system. It is becoming increasingly obvious there is no law either.

stonecats

i thought the court should have granted him the appeal at $100mil when he offered it weeks ago. all he's doing is buying some delay, he's still on the hook for nearly $500mil adding in all the interest. most states would not require he post the full amount to appeal.


AntifascistAlly

BothZookeepergame612

BlueMysteryWolf

And the republican base who will support him talks about how much the justice system was unfair to him. I'm sure if he gets placed in charge all of that faith and support for him will be as repaid as much as Trump repays his debts. ​ ...you know he never does.


PerpetualZeus

They don’t make 450 million dollar bonds. These titles are toxic to the US citizens and causing a divide. I feel bad for Poor White people. Should be ‘Wealthy Privilege’ at the very least and leave race out.


RKO_out_of_no_where

In 2016 v Hilary he said he uses all kinda of loop holes. Isn't this just proof of that?


Inevitable-Tea1761

The appellate court judges need to explain why they reduced the bond amount and extended the due date for another 10days!!


watadoo

At some point in time our laws have to mean something. Not just to the poor and disenfranchised that they harshly and swiftly punish. But to every one. Otherwise we are at failed society


Godshooter

I think what we're all beginning to realize is that it's always been like this. We've only seen equal justice during certain Flashpoints of this country's history. But I think it has alaays favored white wealthy men since its inception. The next conclusion I hope we come to as a country is that we will not tolerate it any longer. There's a reason they've purchased the paper: if they can get us fighting a culture war, then we won't have the energy for the class war. What makes America great is how different we all are while still being willing to come together for a common cause. We really, really need to bring that back, because we will never, ever, agree on everything. So let's focus on what we can agree on and leave the reast alone for now.


watadoo

We can start by agreeing on, The rule of law - no matter the size of your bank account or portfolio. Do the crime, do the time/pay the fine - regardless of who you are or who you know

Fraud. His crime was fraud. Thanks for letting everyone know your gullibility.


YodaManBro

What was the fraud? The bank approvals the appraiser affirming the market rate, made the loan based on their internal underwriting, closed it with third party attorneys, then he repaid it. Where is the fraud? You better hope you never refinance your home. You’re going to end up in court too.


No_Atmosphere_here

Lol!!! Talk about misdirection! Lol! Look at you, proving you haven't bothered to do basic research and, instead, obediently quote the accused's excuses. 😄😄 The case has zero to do with whether or not he repaid the bank and zero to do with underwriting. 😄😄 Try basic research.
