This coming from the guy who just said "They are going to rename Pennsylvania..." like a complete idiot

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

You're never gonna see me again folks...

The last time I was in Manhattan, I found it to be too crowded. When I was 20yo, I liked the activity and how everyone was moving quickly (I hate slow walkers). Later in life, it was just annoying. I guess maybe this might make me want to return, so cool?

PS: I hope he tried his thing about shooting someone on 5th Ave. Let's test his resilience to prosecution a bit more. C'mon, buddy. Do it. But make sure it's one of your MAGA dipshits, all right? I don't want anyone innocent to be harmed.

lol, feck off.

He's probably commenting on the state of real estate in NYC. If everyone got called on their square footage claims and mortgages, well, it'd be interesting.

Louis Rossmann has covered some of this in his videos hunting for store space in NYC.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He’s not. He’s just being a cry-baby and pandering to his base. The square footage claims were a drop in the bucket as far as the evidence is concerned. Read the full judgement here, it’s approachable to the layperson:

It would be in his nature to take the smallest (and most defensible) claim and pretend that's the whole of it, no?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't recommend assigning any sort of intelligent agency to his words right now.

He's an extreme narcissist. He's very likely saying this because he thinks that he's the best at business and so if he leaves, everyone else in business will leave.

He makes the same claims about losing the presidency or literally anything else. It's the narcissist last hope. "you don't know what you're missing out on by not letting me commit crimes in your state!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Por que no los dos? As the other commenter pointed out, the ruling was on much more than square footage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So what happens when he doesn't pay the fine?

Do they get to take his property?

Seriously curious, he's escaped accountability his entire life, what's the mechanism to ensure he pays the Piper now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I think this is the purpose of appointing a receiver for the Trump org. They would be authorized to sell assets to pay fines if needed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I hope they follow him to Fl because all we got here is stears and fucking morons.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Old man's version of "well you're not invited to my birthday party"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That would be awesome! Make it better for everyone else to experience life without maga morons. Good riddance

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well they better not make their mass exodus to Pennsylvania, or they'll be totally confused about where they are when Trump loses and the name changes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I propose we change it to Pencilvania.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It will be so woke there, folks. It will be so woke that they'll welcome all the trans people. And they will change the name! They will change the name that will show the state is part of the woke liberal sleepy Joe Marxism to Transylvania. Some of you might have heard of that place. Dracula came from there. Not a nice guy, Dracula, but he dressed well, didn't he, folks? He dressed well. DRACULA DID NOT HAVE A LOW FLOW SHOWER, DID HE FOLKS? When I am your president, I promise you will have a shower Dracula will be proud of!

(etc.)

Who needs an AI for deep fakes, when we have /u/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Lmao this is the most self centered guy in history.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Well, at least he's providing a testable prediction. That's new.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

Why would they? Fox News reporting factual news?!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

He has mass, all right. And that mass will perform exodus. Checks out.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I predict that very little will actually happen, and that Trump will keep saying stupid shit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

No no, the people of the state of New York (53% Democrat, 28% Republican) will definitely all leave. And move to Mississippi.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Capture @[email protected] - he is a confirmed time traveler.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

With the damage that the Trump's have done to NYC I say bye Felicia
