Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's old enough to retire and collect social security. He only does shit because of his own boredom at this point in his life.
And some dingaling supporter has started a GoFundMe to help out the poor guy hit by this very unfair and unjust fine
To help Trump or to grift Trumpets and keep the money?
Hard to say for sure, but the lady sounds like a true believer.
Finally, some freaking consequences
Could this ruling result in criminal charges or are there already proceedings underway in this matter? I mean, the judge has determined that Trump is personally responsible for fraud amounting to several hundred million dollars, right? Accordingly, he himself is banned from doing business in the state of New York for the next three years, which makes it clear that Trump himself has been found to have committed fraud. But is that all? Fraud on this scale must also be criminally relevant, mustn't it? Or is it really possible in the USA to get off the hook simply by paying a fine, even for such serious criminal misconduct?
OJ Simpson was found not guilty criminally and guilty civilly. It's a thing.
Yes, seems so. But it's really the weirdest thing, i'd say.
Legally, it can be explained quite easily. Civil liability must only rise to the standard of "preponderance of the evidence", meaning something like 'more likely than not'. A criminial conviction however, must rise to the standard of "beyond reasonable doubt". That's the difference.
I get that. I just don't understand why the public prosecutor's office didn't at least try. But hey, maybe they will later on. I guess we will have to wait and see.
The weirdest thing is the platypus. That mf’er glows under UV.
Damn, that's another level of weird indeed.
Come up with the money or secure a bond within 30 days
Or what? Does anyone think he's actually going to pay?
He's going to Alex Jones it at worst, and at best do the same but smarter.
Does anyone think he's actually going to pay?
Then they seize his assets to cover it. Trump Tower goes to public auction.
Hahahahahaa... ahhh beautiful
