Sacrist65 posted:However, when 30% of the country believes you are their divinely appointed savior, you will have an endless supply of marks to grift off. His net worth will likely increase while "running" in 2024. Unlikely. Right now, NY is waiting him with open arms because of the Real Estate Tax fraud stuff, he has massive debts coming due that he cannot rid himself of in bankruptcy because he PERSONALLY backed them. Trump is unlikely to be financially or mentally fit for a 2024 run, and any campaigning around such is just to grift people to settle his ongoing re-election debts CainFortea posted:Ya'all know they're gonna get state level pardons too to "further the healing of the divide in america" right? I don't see State pardons as likely, and while Trump himself will never be likely to face jail, Kushner and Trump kids may actually see some repercussions.

Sacrist65 posted:Maybe. Also this post could have been written in 2015 No, because he was in better financial shape in 2015. He has nearly a billion dollars in debt coming due in 2021, and didn't have pending cases waiting for his Org. Being in public office was the worst thing that could've happened to the Trump Org, because suddenly they came under tighter scrutiny and, surprise surprise, its a fraudulent mess. All the details necessary to know this were not known in 2015, most of this stuff didn't become public till 2020.

K then. facialimpediment posted:Yeah this is the common thing when it comes to high-profile people and investigations. At one time, they weren't so high-profile, the state really didn't give a poo poo if he lied on his federal tax returns, and he wasn't in charge of an openly-corrupt government. Just the fact that a new Secretary of Treasury will immediately hand over Donnie's tax returns to NYState and Congress (unless stopped by courts) to prove the poo poo in the NYT series is quite a lot. Probably doesn't lead to an Actual Thing, but it enables the Actual Thing to happen. Yeah, nobody is pretending he isn't the only one doing it. One thing Trump did clearly while president was skip out on bills for his rallies. He's not going to be able to do that as easily out of office, not to mention lack of access to, basically, free cross country transport.

It took the federales about 2 weeks to figure out that all his money was dirty money from all over the world. In the 1980s Trump was WIDELY portrayed as a Bad Guy for good reason almost universally.

RFC2324 posted:I feel like, due to the wording about "Party loyalty" that this could be a huge thing against both parties and the bullshit tribal politics of today. I think his point is Trump has largely been using threats, up to and including riling up his base with masked death/jail threats. in this case: a DIRECT death threat. That's not something the Dems have been doing.

Woofer posted:I’m convinced we have a better chance of a second Trump term than of anyone facing state charges in NY. Why not charge Jared and Ivanka now? They aren’t the president, and trump is a lame duck with just a few weeks left in office. For the exact reason that: They are not president, they openly committed fraud and corruption, and Jared is likely wanted for massive tax fraud for how he managed Trump properties in New York. Ivanka is likely going to face some sort of legal challenge from her writing off her taxes as a "contractor" while she was actively employed as a Trump Org employee. Trump and Co jilted New York out of millions in taxes, the bill is coming due, and New York and Deutsche Bank want their money.

Woofer posted:what are they waiting for? Good question, I don't know. But we already know New York is investigating Trump Org, they've taken statements, and Ivanka is openly worried about her tax fraud and isn't really hiding it. Trump himself will never face any real legal repercussions outside of maybe losing a large chunk of his empire to debt proceedings, but I suspect Trump kids and others won't be as lucky.

The fundamentally broken justice system isn’t going to fix itself to get into a legal battle with a former president’s kids. Yes, but our fundamentally broken justice system loves money, and tax fraud is full of money.

Because most Billionaires don't say the quiet part out loud nor have their tax fraud openly leaked. Plenty of Tax Fraud in New York, but Trump Org is probably ones of the stupidest of the frauds.

Cythereal posted:Deutsche Bank is also after them, probably due to the PR. Anyone who takes down the Trumps, or does significant damage to them, is going to be famous at least for a little while. Have to imagine that's a part of it. I think its largely a race to see who can get their hands on the goods first, Deutsche wants Trump property to pay off the loans that they know Trump can't liquidate, and New York wants them for the back taxes and fraud.

Yeah, I think that's what he means: Trump is ruining their image as Evil Lender Inc, so they are unlikely to sit back and let him continue. And the easiest way to do that is to seize his assets to pay off the debt.

M_Gargantua posted:Yeah, this is the key point. Billionaires and politicians are both well known for good reason for being corrupt and using their money as a bludgeon. However most of them are also rich enough and smart enough to have the bare minimum of legal overhead to keep their tax evasion and graft within the letter of the law. Contrary to House of Cards there isn't a shadowy cabal doing actual hard crime on the regular. Its cheap and easy to shuffle legal money through offshore holdings to evade taxes it just takes a few % off the top. Trump meanwhile just does all the financial crime in the open because he's too broke and stupid to just pay the way to keep it legal. Its worth noting that he used to have some decent financial people: He chased them off in the 80s and 90s because he did what he always does and tries to pull the rug out from under them when payment comes due. Cohen was probably his last bag man who he used as a legal and financial bludgeon, and even Cohen got burned. I mean, Cohen's already explained how they worked: Refuse to pay the bill and tie people up in court while sending threatening legal letters to drag them out until they either give up and take what Trump offers or simply forgot and assumed it was a lost cause.

MazelTovCocktail posted:Last I checked how was the Iraqi and Syrian program going? Ask the MIT professor, but its worth noting that Israel's and the US's violent attempts have done nothing more than provide minor delays versus the Iran Negotiations which had measurable and fast acting effects. https://twitter.com/NarangVipin/status/1336669117424799745?s=20 What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? That's pretty much the US and Israeli strategy at this point. The reality is, while the delay effect is visible, in reality is just strengthens their resolve no matter the delay. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Dec 9, 2020 |

mlmp08 posted:Well, here's how the Iraqi program went: The US government said that actually Iraq was building weapons of mass destruction and had to be stopped, and then the US launched a ground invasion and toppled the regime 30 years after the Osiraq strike. So according to the US at the time, the strikes did not ultimately work and only an escalation to full war and occupation would suffice. The US would later acknowledge that this was complete bullshit. Even better they did so while the Inspectors were going "Uhhhhhh, no they are not" by letting the CIA basically fabricate evidence.

MazelTovCocktail posted:That said we can all agree it does actually delay the program, right? I mean that's fine and good about the resolve, but if you just keep delaying it, then the resolve means nothing. Not by enough to actually make the delay worthwhile, no. Its a strategy made by people who don't understand how to actually get things done and thinking flexing military might makes you a geopolitical genius. Again, if you think otherwise, go correct the MIT Professor whose entire job is studying Nuclear Proliferation, he doesn't think it works.

But I also feel like we take the Iranians at their face value (not saying conversely you take the other side at face value either). None of the hardline actions of Israel or the US have achieved any real results other than minor delays. Its the same people that think if they ignore climate change it won't affect them.

Wasabi the J posted:Tbh I would almost breathe a sigh of relief if Kessler syndrome forced humanity to give up on running from it's loving problems and maybe a billionaire could maybe pretend to give a poo poo about the air or something the people with no money can benefit from. Most of the information we get to help fight climate change comes from satellites, and most of our advanced weather tracking stuff is orbital. Its not exaggeration that Kessler Syndrome would likely result in hundreds, if not thousands of excess deaths from sudden lack of weather tracking and meteorology systems, not to mention rescue tracking. Please don't wish for it, because you know those fucks will still be selfish even if locked to Earth.
