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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.audacy.com/1010wins/news/local/prosecutor-admonishes-manhattan-da-for-dropping-trump-case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By American standards maybe. We'd ask them nicely to pay back a quarter of the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 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.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-new-york-young-republicans-b2243261.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rioters on 6th Jan had been armed there would have been a lot more dead cops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 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. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-63967234 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 35 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: Lots of suggestions that Trump has no plans for running (no staff appointment at all) and it’s just another money making grift. That does sound similar to last time TBF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 He's not done yet! Although my own theory comes from the replies where someone reckons he's going to announce he's running for President in 2024 and nobody round him has the cojones to tell him he's already done that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
