The Trumps can also continue to apply for loans from financial institutions chartered or registered in New York during this time, the judge ruled

High risk means high interest. If he can even get a loan, it'll be very steep.

For a possible future president? Likely at 0.0%

They will make their money back in politcal grift later.

this would be the 'misdemeanors' part of impeachment, yes?

Impeachment doesn’t mean anything if there are more than 33 R senators

Third times a charm?

(naw, you're totally right. I wonder if we could generate some kind of AI deep fake of something degenerate enough to get the Pubies on board?)
(maybe... an AI deepfake of Mike Johnson getting freaky with, ah... somebody or something. Then try 'maga2020' on trump's truth social account and drop it that way... or maybe it's 'maga2024'? Oh, he's screaming, so it's probably MAGA2024)

Nah he will try to value his estates at several billions, making him more than good for it, and hope to get the loans dirt cheap as he always has done.
Like when right outside the court he slandered Jean Carroll again, just after being fined for it!
IDK if he is stupid enough to do that, he might instead value his underpants at several billion, and hope some bank will buy it.

At least all the banks now have real valuations on his properties out in the public record now thanks to court and the court appointed monitors.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Nonono, that's just the valuation for authorities. The valuation for banks is way higher, especially if it's a nice sunny day.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
