Will there be financial penalties levied against the firm?

About $1.6m, along with the 5 month jail term Allan Weisselberg’s already accepted as part of his plea deal. Tish James’ suit looking to rinse them for everything is currently scheduled for October next year.

$1.6m seems a small amount given the scale of it and the period of time over which it happened.

Very, although it was a very limited case. The Manhattan DA chose not to go after Trump himself, which set lots of tongues wagging, and saw two of his team resign.

It’s amusing to hear commentators in the USA talking about left agitators when you have an elected Republican, Marjorie Taylor Greene, making a statement like this about the January 6 riot.

“I will tell you something: if Steve Bannon and I organized that, we would have won,” she said. “Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”

Ironically she was spouting "Blue Lives Matter" during the protests about George Floyd's murder. If the rioters on 6th Jan had been armed there would have been a lot more dead cops.

You mean she’s an unprincipled hypocrite?  Nah, I’m not buying that.

Polling would suggest the Donald is finally down and out. DeSantis could be even worse though, he seems to actually believe the shit he comes out with which could be far more dangerous.

Lots of suggestions that Trump has no plans for running (no staff appointment at all) and it’s just another money making grift.

Aye, there were a lot of people pointing out that Donny was by no means the worst presidential possibility in 2016. The idea of President Cruz in particular put the shits right up a lot of folk, and no doubt will again at some point in the future. Plenty of people also seemed to be stuck in the nightmare of hoping The Donald didn't die during his term and unleash President Pence on the world.

That does sound similar to last time TBF.

Aye, having watched some of his campaign ads and given i take a bit of interest in florida politics, can confirm De Santis is a bible bashing fruit cake. He would probably win against Biden too.

Coming from Ground Zero on this as I have no knowledge of this guy, may I ask if you see him as a "fruitcake" simply by viewing things from a Christian viewpoint or is it more than that?

All Christians are fruitcakes* but he’s got nuts on top.

I love the American right-wing exceptionalists who steadfastly claim that the USA is a Christian nation despite the Constitution contradicting that.

 

 

 

* also applies to adherents of other organised religions.
