I’m sure donald trump and the Supremes were both surprised.
Yet more proof that he’s unaccountable even when proven guilty. If the system only protects the wealthy, it’s not just.
It was a forced bench trial with a Democrat loyalist judge. The entire case was a sham and should be thrown out. There was NO victim, NO harm, NO market impact. There was no case. Tish KNEW if she took it to a jury, she would be humiliated before the entire nation, so she wrangled a way to get Trump before a Democrat loyalist judge who already had the guilty verdict decided before the trial began.
The goal was to make it impossible for Trump to appeal by giving out such a ridiculous penalty that would have to be paid in full before an appeal could be filed. THANKFULLY the court system went, “Hold the hell up. This is wrong.” Otherwise, any developer who runs afoul the Democratic Party would meet the same fate. To have their files rifled through to find a “crime”, then drag them before a corrupt judge like Engoron, to bankrupt them with a penalty that they would be unable to pay, then the AG would seize their assets and sell them for cheap. All the while the person would have absolutely no legal recourse because they have to pay the absurd penalty first. Thankfully this got shut down.
Even the banks that he supposedly defrauded said they would love to do business with him again and how they made a profit from the deal.
The Merchan trial is a similar setup. The case should have been thrown out because the prosecution could not tell ANYONE what supposed crime was covered up. An impartial judge would tell the prosecution to come back when they figure out what crime is being covered up. Merchan was not an impartial judge. He wanted his conviction so he could have his moment of fame, which is why he let the trial go on like it did, let Stormy Daniels give entirely pointless testimony, then stop the defense’s witnesses where he could, all before giving exceptionally corrupt jury instructions.
Oh cool so we get to throw out all cases decided by Republican loyalist judges too then? My friend, you’ve just saved America for us. 🫡
Lying liar has liars lying for him.
Of course anyone that could rule against your Orange King couldn’t possibly have done so from just means. Such a victim.
The mental hoops you guys jump through to convince yourselves that your cheat, conman, rapist is a holy man would be absolutely farcical, if it wasn’t so damn tragic. The fact you’ve come to this comment section and so vehemently defended your Orange God, on MULTIPLE THREADS, is PEAK LeFou. Begone Trumpian buttboy. Hope you wake up in a year or two and realize what an absolute tool you are.
The same judge who threw out the fine literally said there was harm. You clearly didn’t read the article.
There was NO victim, NO harm, NO market impact.
My dude, everyone knows there was harm including the judges that threw it out. While 500 million is an exaggerated accounting, they should have kept the amount for punitive measures.
Trump is not a contractor. He is the guy that doesn’t pay contractors. Hence the many lawsuits and fraud convictions.
And the banks said they would love to do business with him again. If the banks were harmed, they wouldn’t want to do business again.
Gonna need a citation on that statement because all the banks with a good reputation seem to say no.
Some banks, like Axos Financial, have shown willingness to lend to Donald Trump despite his legal challenges, while others, such as Deutsche Bank, have distanced themselves due to his past financial issues and controversies. Overall, Trump’s relationship with banks has been complex, with some lenders willing to take risks for potential returns.
Goddamnit… Fuck Donald Trump
Oh no, you don’t like it that the court didn’t allow your gods to weaponize the court system against their foes? Too bad.
allow your gods
We don’t worship our politicians as gods like you sycophants do.
Here’s a handkerchief, for the orange dribbling down your chin
Dude, you’re looking in a mirror. Lay off the cheetos.
That’sa childlike rubber and glue response.
I know you are but what am I?
Ooh, how biting. Meow
cant have de führer being held accountable for fucking anything
He sure can! The cultists love holding him accountable for all the positive things Biden and Obama actually did.
How freaking DARE the court system not weaponize itself against our political foes! Don’t those stupid fucking judges KNOW that they’re supposed to uphold the penalty to make him PAY?!
It’s not as bad as it seems.
They explicitly did not overthrow the ruling, just the civil damages for being too high.
The thing with civil cases is that you generally have to demonstrate damages. Did the state actually incur $500 million dollars in damages? The oddest thing is the Court bringing up the “cruel and unusual punishment” nonsense. That usually comes into play in criminal law.
This is going to be appealed again, and we’ll probably end up with a lower number.
If he made $500 million off the fraud, then any lower judgement is a license to do it again.
Fines are criminal. Civil cases are about relief for damages suffered by the plaintiffs.
Ok. He isn’t going to suffer any consequences. Criminal or financial. The courts are telling him it was ok and to do it again.
He’s still barred from doing business in New York.
It’ll be appealed again and the only thing that stopped the entire case from being thrown out were a few Democrat loyalists in the NY Supreme Court that refused to be impartial and see the entire case for the sham that it was.
There was no damage, no victim, no market impact, it was business as usual, but Tish, in her corrupt ways, tried to make a case out of nothing, and Engoron played along.
I suppose if people lie to the bank about their finances in order to secure a mortgage then there’s no problem either?
Considering that there was no injury, no victim, and no impact on the market, it’s little wonder they threw the absurd penalty out.
Letitia James and Arthur Engoron were part of the effort to weaponize the justice system. Thankfully they overplayed their hand so wildly that even the Democrat loyalists in the NY Supreme Court had to say, “Hold up, there’s no way even I can justify this.” even though they spent months trying to figure out how.
Letitia James’s daily gloating with her arrogant daily “interest accrual” posts is proof along with her pre-election speeches about how she’s going to “get Trump” that this was entirely political motivated. The fact that she ONLY went after Trump when hundreds of developers do the exact same things is just more proof.
The case against her for doing what she accused Trump is doing is just humorous.
How much are you being paid to shill this hard?
He’s Republican, he’s working for free thinking one of these days he’ll be a millionaire too if he works hard enough
