Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

For a billionaire he certainly does seem to have difficulty coming up with money.

There's a piece in one of Trump's rants about Judge Ergeron and AG James which he may not have meant to reveal. I copied this piece from the Daily Mail: Trump said any business thinking about moving into the state is 'CRAZY!' after prosecutors called him out for changing the addresses of several Trump business entities to Florida last week while facing the judgement. He called James 'Racist and Politically Corrupt' and said Engoron is a 'Crazed, Trump Hating Rogue Judge' who 'has ZERO respect for the Appellate Judges.' Trump also inveighed against the judge and the case in a statement from his presidential campaign, which has relied on a series of criminal and civil prosecutions to goose his poll numbers. He blasted 'Ironclad Disclaimer Clauses' and said the conduct the judge found occurred resulted in 'No Damages, No Victims – A Disgraceful “Case!” This Sham is forcing companies and people to flee New York, and stopping companies from entering.'

Separately the Daily Mail report included that last week, AG James office wrote in a filing that Trump tried to move the addresses of multiple assets from Trump Tower to Florida. Her office complained that Trump's lawyers 'announced for the first time that various entity defendants operating in New York are allegedly now located on a golf club in Florida.' That included DJT Holdings LLC, 401 North Wabash Venture LLC and other entities. 'Defendants attempted that relocation even as they claim to this Court that those assets 'cannot be summarily disposed of or secreted out of the jurisdiction,' according to the filing.

What the Daily Mail report doesn't provide information on is whom the person/s were who attempted to make the alleged move of firms addresses from NY to Florida. Judge Ergeron's order barred Trump and some of his associates from running businesses in NY.

Seeing as Trump has until Monday next to come up with the bond [if the appeal court doesn't find in his favour] I won't assume that he's out of the game due to cash shortage [outside disposing of assets] as he's such a tricky character hard to actually pin down. I'd like to think he is but won't bet one red cent on it until the late Monday US news reports that to be a fact.

Has there been any backlash against Speaker Johnson and his allies in the GOP over their federal funding deal with Biden's administration?

In terms of reality, what are the chances that she could rely on the Democrats siding with her in the house in any vote called on her motion for it to succeed? As for her own party members......

Edit: MSN is running a story that Wisconsin GOP Rep Mike Gallagher, the China select committee chair, is retiring early from next month. He had been due to retire at the end of his congressional term this year but after blowback from other GOP members after he voted AGAINST impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas. That would reduce the GOP vote majority in the house to one.

You think MTG could align with the Democrats...what have you been sniffing today?

MTG only cares about herself, so I guess in that way she is exactly like Trump

No matter your opinion on Gallagher's worldview politically (he is a major hawk) its absolutely dire that he seems content to leave those in his congress and those who voted for him with no representation until November .

I seem to remember a Mitch McConnell refusing to fill a Supreme Court Judge for the best part of a year.

According to his retirement statement in the Washington Examiner, Gallagher got approval from the House GOP leadership when he informed them of his early retirement plan. It goes without saying that if he was determined to go ahead regardless [seeing as he is not happy with the way the party was going Trump-wise and said he wouldn't attend the party caucus this year] the leadership may have had to take the slap with a smile.

Other GOP members think along the lines your post includes. Some Wisconsin conservatives have blasted Gallagher’s exit as a deliberate move to hurt House Republicans, which Gallagher’s office has denied.  “I want you to know that this is deliberate,” another potential congressional contender, Alex Bruesewitz, said at a GOP dinner over the weekend. “This is the swamp and the RINOs’ way to backstab their constituents and the Republican voters one last time.”

I would even take that a step further and say that at the moment the Republican party is not a legitimate democratic party but rather one that is authoritarian in nature with just a veneer of democratic beliefs.

Its hilarious really. Ronna is a hack and was a failure at her previous job. I do think the idea of hiring someone who represents the view of the 50% or so of people who will vote Trump is interesting but Ronna isn't even part of that clique so she won't even bring any insight their either.

The pontificating from NBC which is an echo chamber though was very amusing, they hired numerous Biden people over the years , genuinely what insight can Psaki can bring bar "Biden good, Trump bad" and then of course some other horrors such as Nicola Wallace who spun for the Iraq war back in the day.

NBC could do with some pro Trump voices and Fox could do with some pro Biden voices but neither can risk it as both need to cater towards their respective audiences who live in echo chambers as that is what pays the bills unfortunately.
