The New York State appeals court waited until the last minute to intervene and rule substantial modifications to the lower court ruling. [SEE pdf Here]
The timing here is transparently political. The court could have intervened earlier with this decision but appears to have preferred to allow the Lawfare narrative the maximum amount of time to permeate the anti-Trump news cycle. However, faced with the reality of a full appellate review later this year collapsing and reversing the underlying case, the NY court had few options other than timing their intervention.
The appeals court lowered the bond amount to the maximum possible in real terms. Meaning the demand for a $454 million bond was never sustainable, explainable, or legally comprehensible under all precedent. In reality it was an impossible bond for any organization to obtain, and ultimately that issue was going to lead to massive legal consequences within the New York state legal system. They might hate Trump, but without intervention New York would be collapsing their corporate business structure.
The lower court ruling was stayed, and the bond was lowered to an obtainable $175 million for the appeal. The lower court ruling against Trump organization officers was also stayed, allowing the corporate leadership of the various Trump organization LLCs to remain as they are. All of the substantive elements of Judge Engoron’s verdict were stayed, pending appeal.
Attorney General Letitia James was left only with a public relations narrative to sell, saying in part, “the $464 million judgment — plus interest — against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands.” Duh, pending appeal – which is transparently obvious and the point therein.
Once again, Lawfare at its root is a narrative weapon used primarily to sway public opinion. AG James statement in response to the appeals court intervention is essentially an affirmation of this reality.
Appearing in New York to defend against another Lawfare operation, President Trump spoke briefly to the media after the ruling was made public.
.
The hardline leftists always end up with a case of the ‘outcome sads’, because they do not accept the nature of Lawfare intent. However, the non-sheeple democrats and independents are eyes-wide-open to how this Lawfare nonsense works. Hence, President Trump climbing in the polling.
“It’s the beginning of the end.” or “The walls are closing in.” or, “__ fill in the blank __.”
“Escape From New York”
The 1980’s film was prescient and had it right.
Actually Judge E looks like one of those mad hatter types from that movie 🍿 – was a good one , violent , but maybe was my generation ‘s Hunger Games ( which I have never seen ) — the climax with the US President was great – no spoilers
to my eyes, he looks like a lecherous scumbag.
And that’s being kind.
where’s Snake when we need him?
Is because he is.
I truly hate smirkers…there are no worse sumbitches than that on this earth.
….lecherous….good descriptor
Yes, good description of him. “But wait…. there’s more….”
the guy is a total loser dependent on the Dem/fascists (including Schiff, Schumer, Nadler, Garland, and the Ukrainian twins who helped to push-start the first Trump impeachment, to name a few of his kind)to give him any “cred.”
Hoping Engmoron gets disbarred. Anybody remember A-hole Emmett Sullivan who persecuted Gen Flynn????? Whatever happened to that POS?
senior status judge, unaddressed for his sins like the attack on Sen Stevens of Alaska.
palmed his part off on the DOJ flunkies for prosecution after affecting Stevens’ re- election.
Interestingly when Alaska elections central closed that night, Stevens was ahead 4000 votes.
Next morning the news announced high school graduate, socialist Mark Begich won.

You should watch the Hunger Games soon, while it still just metaphorical.
That’s good – there was also that old Arnold S. Running Man movie that was a survival Game Show with Richard Dawson as the game show host that was pretty clever…
rollerball and soylent green.
The original Rollerball movie with James Caan is one of the most prescient future dystopia movies made.
100%^ agree. a little campy for the times now but still on the money.
Yes , Back when they made some better scripted movies – and had good actors in them
I was thinking about Soylent green earlier today. If people haven’t seen it, they should give it a watch.
Better yet read Richard Bachman. Ie Stephen King…WAy Way Way better than the movie
The Running Man
I am watching Porky’s, it took a lot to find a replacement for the copy that got scratched.
I am going to follow it by Caddyshack. With Animal House, to top it off.
🙂
Back in the 80’s when the USN ship I was an officer on was undergoing an overhaul at a shipyard that had been selected for political purposes. When the officers had reached max frustration level, we would all watch Animal House. That and the judicious use of alcohol worked wonders for our psyche. After two years of the shipyard collecting $$$ and accomplishing zero, the fired them and towed us deadstick to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
I remember seeing Caddyshack at a summer drive-in on vacation on Cape Cod , when it came out – you could hear people laughing out loud in their cars in the whole lot … the famous gopher , Bill Murray , Rodney Dangerfield , Chevy Chase and Ted Knight ( who died too young at 62 ) .. I read later Rodney Dangerfield was doing a lot of ad libbing that was cracking up the actors and crews
I saw Rodney in a NY nightclub in the late ’80s. there is no one and I mean no one who could silence and humiliate hecklers like Rodney. Incredible.
Engeron has said he will not abide by the Appellate Court’s ruling…
HOO BOY!!!
POPCORN, PLEASE!!
I wonder just how he plans to enforce his outlandish sentence. I doubt that there is any legitimate LEO or collection agency that will try to for the sale of Trump assets under a Appellate Court stay.
President Trump’s persecutors are unhinged. It will be interesting and entertaining to watch the ensuing slap fights between the courts.
Jonathan Turley is throwing icy cold water on the idea that any of his properties will be seized.

Donald Trump’s bond lowered to $175 million. Trump states collateral will be cash.
James won’t be seizing assets.
And while he’s at it, James and Entering with your charges that he I coated his assets…
Well??
How about it?
(I usually stay away from memes with misspellings..
But this one was just too good.)
And there’s karma for ya… My own misspelling 😂
Engeron!
Ha this is exactly what I just posted above!!!
At very least, if he loses he should get a fat tax refund for the over payment of taxes on over valued property. Would he not?
Needs to sue James and Engmoron for $464 million beyond their prison skivvies in 2025
Always and forever! May God continue to bless and keep him! 🙏😊
Justice, P👍🏻
Judge E. is just looking for more applause and one more curtain call before he fades off into irrelevancy Norma Desmond style.
He also told CNN that he’s going to hold his breath until he gets things his way.
Sounds promising.
I’d pay to watch that.
I double dog dare him.
I’ll see your double dog dare and raise you a double dog-faced-pony-soldier…😏
Yes, please, Engmoron, hold your breath, while we wait and count the minutes till your final demise.
We should be so lucky
And stomp his feet! 😂
A rogue judge – ?
I think we knew he was that from the beginning, joe…
And much else besides.
That’s true – running roughshod in his own courtroom is one thing – but this seems like different kettle of fish and his kettle seems to have started to stink –
in any event , the more crazy Judge E (and Latifa act ) the more it becomes ckear to non TDS types( the TDS types are now howling and perhaps egging Crazy Judge E on ) that PDJT is the victim in this charade – We know that of course
Maybe Judge E /Letifa will try to go to US SC to have their State’s highest court overruled in his favor ( being sarcastic , I think )
His female “assistant” was a bit dodgy as well. The one that was practically sitting in his lap during proceedings.
Not to be crass, but she certainly was having the time of her life, sitting in court with the same smug look on her face as Ms. James. I’m certain there will be an “accomplice to…” charge waiting in the wings with her name on it. They certainly seemed to be all in it together.
The mental picture of Engeron stomping around and being upset in NY makes me smile. The people of judiciary are a cancer on the nation.

Do you have a link or otherwise state the site where he said that? That is huge and i’m not finding it on any of my usual sites.
It was in a tweet by Benny Johnson, but President Trump has placed it on Truth Social, neither of which I am on.

It is Trump Tower, you see the Chrysler and Pan Am Building in the south east. He is on 5th. If you go to the uncropped-photo shopped picture you can see down 5th avenue. In the haze of the day, you see a beautiful twin towers finish out the island.

….came tumbling down…..
Well nobody on their side cares they just want his blood. Nobody on our side cares cause we support him through it all. So if there are any undecideds they are stupid and will stay home Nov 5th anyway. If they are pissed at all about rising prices world bs and rights being stolen will register and vote for PDJT… so we win!
I am curious to see what Sundance has to say about the hypothetical situation of the Republicans losing the House because of retirements and the Dems, who would then be in power, pushing a law to remove Trump off the Nov. 2024 ballot.
All a Democrat House has to do is “declare” PDJT an “insurrectionist”, since the SCOTUS just left it “up to Congress” with no rules. I hope I am wrong.
NO.
He has to be convicted in court of having engaged in insurrection.
Don’t do that.
I stand corrected, happily.
Absolutely BK and I believe SCOTUS also gave to Congress the charge to define insurrection. So, it would need to be defined, passed into law, POTUS Trump charged with insurrection (he was NEVER charged with insurrection), trial, and found convicted of insurrection before Dem Congress could act on removal from Nov ballots.
Ridiculous when put in context.
Anyone who seriously makes this claim is fear mongering.
There already is a federal criminal statute on the books, 18 USC 2383, but no one involved was ever indicted under it. If the Congress had convicted President Trump around Jan 6th, then there might have been an argument for disqualification. But they did not convict, and he was never indicted in criminal grand jury proceedings, so there is nothing Congress can do at this point under that disqualification clause in the 14th Amendment. Plus there is the argument that it does apply to the president, because the presidency is not an “officer of the United States”.
Thanks Fritz. Trying to clarify. Are you conflating the impeachment process, a political process with the criminal court proceedings? As you said, the ham sandwich grand jury did not find facts to charge insurrection which is why they could not charge Trump with insurrection. SCOTUS did dig down on the definition during oral arguments since it lacked clarify. Your point is noted that ‘there is the argument’, not that it was so clear from the statute that it was not subject to interpretation and vulnerable to bias. I believe it was Kavanaugh who resolved that discussion by saying DJT was not charged with insurrection.
We are in agreement that there is nothing a Dem Congress can do to keep DJT off the ballots in Nov even if they take control of the House from retirements.
Part of the definition of “insurrection” should be stealing a federal election. Let’s give it right back to them!
The House of Representatives already impeached him for “incitement of insurrection” in 2021, the Senate found him not guilty.
If they tried it again, wouldn’t that be double jeopardy, or would they just change the verbiage? Something to ponder.
Clearly a bill of attainder.
you are wrong
I doubt the House has that authority. Congress, as a whole, cannot add restrictions to elective office that are not in the Constitution or its Amendments. They DID try at one point to add a restriction at one point about twenty years or so ago and the SC declared the law unConstitutional.
Did the recent SCOTUS ruling change that at all?
That was before John Roberts, Sotomayor, Brown-Jackson, Kagan and Coney-Barrett got onto the court.
They would still need 60 votes in the senate to break the inevitable filibuster. I doubt there are 9 suicidal republican senators. I could be wrong, but I’m not losing any sleep over it.
You had me at “9 suicidal republican senators” and counting them as they jump off a high cliff, is how I get to sleep at night.
Only 9 ?
Too bad they weren’t all RINOS
Ok I LOL.
Complete with the Wilhelm Scream….
Thanks, Dutch – I’ll try that. I do have trouble sleeping and used to search the internet before bedtime to find some good news to sleep on. (Having a bit of trouble with that lately, though.)
I don’t think it matters. If they did that then patriots set the clock at 12 midnight
So, do you feel lucky, punk?
GO AHEAD,…MAKE MY DAY!
Waiting till the last possible moment – it should be dismissed! So sick of the LAWFARE against President Trump and MAGA. As my dad used to say “on and on it goes, first your money and then your clothes.”
We are in the middle of a war and we just won a battle of many battles to come.
We really don’t even know if we are in the beginning, middle or end, and won’t until its over.
We may lose a number of battles against the controlling fascists in power, but WE WILL NOT LOSE THE WAR.
God is never on the side of liars and evil-doers.
I guess this means in due time with the mass exodus of citizens NYS will lose many seats in Congress. Sooner rather than later, I hope. SPIT
MaineCoon: Thus, the massive invasion of NY. Need those warm bodies to keep congressional seats.
Yep those illegals come in handy in so many ways; electoral college, number of representatives, illegal ballots, Cloward-Piven destroying the welfare system, creating chaos of crime, and on and on it goes.
🎯
If Trump wins and deports illegals, NYS is SOL!
Wayne Root is now urging Florida & Texas to deliver illegals to DC & let House & Senate members deal with stepping over their bodies or camping them at the WH. Flood DC!!
I don’t think there’s a Democrat Official in New York State who gives a crap about losing business, residents, influence or seats on a bus!
Thank you for saying Democrat!
Thanks for saying “Democrat”!
Right, because they are THE ELITES. They all will retire with big financial fortunes, while the local citizens of NY are forced to give up their safety, security, and even their savings to finance the “elites'” plan. Unless of course, the typical citizenry opt out and move anywhere out of that Sh** hole knowing they are not respected citizens.
yup..They are content to rule over the ashes.
They already played that lost seat game; Census 2020 made them big mad, especially against those radical states that gained seats. California in the same hot seat – again. That’s the reason illegals should be turned around and dropped off back in their home country (the plane doesn’t have to land). Because busing them to already blue states helps enable their goal. Communists play the long game – this particular item isn’t about illegals voting in 2024. They already have people born in the 1800’s for that on the voter rolls. This is about Census 2030.
Who was the rude presstitute who addressed President Donald John Trump as “Mr. Trump”.
magan kelly?
Fascists interrupted.
Boy the drama from this weekend- Fake News getting ready for AG Latifa ( however she spells it ) to put the padlocks on Trump properties , all with CNN cameras rolling… some air went out of that balloon – – but they will now jump all over Braggs case -as the “Next Big One’ aimed to bring down PDJT …the narrative must be continued until morale improves …
She spells it ,Lucifer…
Good
Lucifer lives at the Dakota, Latifia could never get pas the co-op board.
“the “Next Big One’ aimed to bring down PDJT …the narrative must be continued until morale improves”
Their narrative is precisely why we must continue to pray that their arrows do not pierce President Trump.
Speaking of Lawfare…
I tried researching the specific New York State Statutes on Squatters Rights. You know the actual law that was passed by the State Legislature and signed by the Governor of New York probably years ago when it was a Republican run state. I couldn’t find a single citation of the specific statute in state law codification of squatters rights!
What does that mean?
Well, it would indicate that squatters rights is a creation of Lawfare. Using courts and judges to reach decisions that are binding via legal precedent rather than the actual legislative process.
NYC Code (Ordinance) 26-521.
The rest of the state requires 10 years adverse possession.
Obviously, it’s not a state law. A city code is like:
A: Not cutting your lawn.
B: Not clearing snow from sidewalk in front of your house.
C: Not keeping your dog on a leash.
So, a city code gives away possession of your house to criminals who broke in?
Correct.
It only applies to NYC.
The state law for everwhere is 10 years. Which means one would have to negligent forn10 years while someone lived there.
The thing is that the sqatter still is responsible for the property taxes. 10 years is a long time and a lot of taxes. 30 days – you get until the next tax is due and move out and start over again on someone else.
But, I agree that it is BS.
One could go on a vacation for 30 days in Europe or wherever, and someone moves in and stays 30 days and you come home to being dispossessed.
Freaking ridiculous.
Actually that code is to deter unlawful eviction. It doesn’t establish squatters rights.
My guess is that the presumption is that the squatter is there legally and that the property owner has to go through civil courts to PROVE that they are occupying the home illegally. Then the squatter will be forced out.
But by then they will have trashed the property.
When the sqatter takes possession, the owner is forced to go thru the legal system to remove them, which is lengthy and costly. In the meantime the occupants have become defacto “sqatters.”
It creates a ‘sqatters right’ by default because of the ridiculous ordinance.
Do you recall the recent article where the lady came home to occupants and the police arrested her? And then some good Samaritan vigilantes intervened to remove the ‘squatters.’
This is what this is about.
This is one in NYC…murdered a woman:
https://nypost.com/2024/03/22/us-news/teen-squatter-suspects-in-slaying-of-nyc-mom-found-in-duffel-bag-busted-in-pa-sources/
Exactly what I said initially. There is no statute in New York State or NY City that codified squatters rights.
It was manufactured via Lawfare perhaps an earlier version.
The snowbirds in FL might rethink leaving their NYC homes in the winter. Insanity!
You have to be a crazy fool to have a business in New York.
Any lawless DA and Judge can steal the Money & Assets
and destroy a business over politics or for any reason.
New York and California are lawless Banana Republics.
Corporate Businesses & people are fleeing New York and California.
State of New York has violated Trumps Constitutional Rights.
New York AG Letitia James ‘Abuse of Power’ will put her in prison.
From your lips to God’s ears.
It would make me happy to see Miss Letitia/letifa/leticia/gonna get Trump behind bars. She’s a sell out, unprofessional, craven, sad example of a professional woman. Where do they find these people??
DEI hire.
DEI = Didn’t Earn It
4A
With her running for the office saying she was after Trump and all the schtuff swirling around him now, I wish PDJT would just divest himself of all his NY properties and move either to Florida or another state and leave her to make up for the loss that would occur. NYC doesn’t deserve to have him or his family in their city.
The court-ordered moderator over the corporation is still there. He can’t sell any NY property until thus judgment is over–if it ever is.
We can only hope. Unfortunately, any prosecution against James would require an NYC jury. Just GUESS what their verdict would be.
Obviously, Letitia ans Ergeron were NOT confident they could get a NYC jury to go along with this crap, and they probably couldn’t.
That’s why they ran it as administrative law by that crazy statute.
No right to a jury.
I used to love NYC. Now I wish only for its ruination….I want businesses to leave by the droves and leave it desolate….it deserves nothing better….
As much as I believe NYC should be embargoed, boycotted, quarantined, and mocked, the real focal point of justice needs to be the “marxist clowns” James and Engoron.
Do they make prison garb that’s that big?
The very concept of “law fare” is in American and unconstitutional. Anyone who promotes or supports it should be disbarred.
There are some states that would not have a bar without it. Law fare is the only way they know how to practice. Many do so in collusion with the opposition.
Divorce being a popular practice for such. The two opposing council play it out in court like a ballet, to maximize the billing from their clients. Especially one’s that have a lot to divide.
If you are setting on the sidelines at the right venues, you get to see a pattern. The cocktails start flowing between the clients, lawyers, toss in the track records, it is not hard to understand.
There was one attorney, now dead, that was legendary. He would represent a client and the prettier she was the more money he would make sure to get her, through his brilliant maneuvering.
Knowing her windfall, he would leave his present wife, for his new wealthy pretty one. The lawyer representing the husband in these cases was always the same. He didn’t care, just as long as the poor sob paid his extraordinary bill. By the time the lawyer died he was on his 9th wife and working his way to the 10th. Right up until cocktail and the covid, caught up with him.
It has been suggested that opposing council in this story doesn’t like to do divorce anymore. Some say everyone who can afford a divorce has already got theirs. Others say he was heard saying it is just not as fun anymore, without his buddy on the other side racking up wives and settlements.
So did the Evil Ones get enough press coverage, pain and suffering, torture even, out of the Trumps to satisfy their morbid pursuits?
I’m just in shock at what’s going on. I keep repeating to myself that our government has gone rogue and I need to prepare myself to refuse to comply with unlawful laws… and prepare for the persecution… does anything make sense any more?
Question:
VSGDJT posts bond and a year from now the whole scam is tossed out should have never happened.
Does NY owe interest?
You have to ask? The IRS CHARGES interest, but they don’t PAY interest and I suspect that applies to the Gummint more broadly.
Don’t forget all the money our President is paying and will pay in legal fees, let alone the time lost.
Think of it this way, When the government owes you a refund at tax time , have you ever received penalties and interest from them? This is why I always owe each year. I prefer not to give the government an interest free loan. Because that is what you’re doing by over paying taxes. You’re helping the leviathan. Its best to starve them and pay what you owed immediately on tax day so you also do not give them interest.
The appellate courts always have to show their work by issuing an opinion that, of necessity, binds lower courts in the future when they are dealing with different parties and factual circumstances. Lawfare is all about the narrative, which can be most easily generated and manipulated in trial court pleadings before a judge who usually does not have to show his or her work because the ruling will not bind any other court, so the judge can take the attitude that he will make the ruling he wants to make (to continue the narrative in this case) and let the appellate courts sort things out. The appellate courts have to consider the law’s general application to all such parties, not just parties they don’t like. That’s why Lawfare usually blow up on appeal.
The real danger in these Lawfare cases, which we saw in the Colorado case, is that the appellate courts are generally bound by the findings of fact made by the trial court, and cannot substitute their assessment of the credibility and weight to give the testimony heard and evidence considered by the trial court, because the trial court is in the better position to assess the credibility, particularly of the witnesses. For example, a witness’s demeanor is not something that will normally show up on the transcript. If you read the transcript of Bradley’s testimony in Georgia, you might not get a complete picture of how he testified, which goes a long way to determining whether he was testifying truthfully. Because we were able to watch him hem and haw and obfuscate, we knew he was lying his ass off. But that might not show up on the transcript because the court reporter is taking down only the actual words and (possibly) the pauses.
So the appellate court is going to have to defer to Engeron’s fact finding concerning the proper valuation of President Trump’s properties unless it can find a way to legally discount the testimony that came from AG James’s expert witness. President Trump is most likely to prevail on legal arguments and not on the credibility of the evidence. But his attorneys know this.
That’s also why the Supreme Court did not address the credibility of the January 6 Committee Report because the rules did not permit it to substitute its judgment concerning that report’s credibility for the credibility the trial court gave it, which was considerable. That’s why the Colorado Supreme Court majority simply reversed the trial court’s legal ruling, not its factual determinations to reach its disqualification decision.
The case will be dismissed because there was no fraud committed, and no victim of fraud sought relief. The allegedly injured party Deutsche Bank testified that they performed their own due diligence, made the loan at an competitive interest rate, and that Trump fully satisfied the terms of their agreement. The difference in valuation assessment is irrelevant. There simply was no crime.
It’s time for President Trump to go on the offensive when he’s reelected, it’s not revenge. You know that the Democrats are guilty. We have the proof!!!
The first order of business after reelection is to elect Attorney General that will follow the law and prosecute all the Democrats that have broken the law. Someone that will apply the maximum amount of penalties to those Traitors starting The pedophile crime family, the Biden, Obozo the Kenyon, and all other democrats that broke the law.
“follow the law and prosecute all”
The main problem will be all the embedded “civil servants” in all levels of the executive branch since WJClinton tarnished the White House. They just refuse to carry out the orders.
A prime example is what happened to the millions of doses of Hydroxycholoroquin PDJT obtained from India during the Wuhan virus plandemic?
Sequested in a warehouse somewhere……..
I was thinking of that just today. I remember Navarro obtained 60 million doses (I thought it was from Taiwan) but then heard nothing else about it. Well, Rick Bright and Janet Woodcock tanked it by lying and that’s when I realized holy s–t they’re going to kill many Americans to get rid of Trump and usher in the evils
yep
Ain’t I been SAYIN it? And by far not the only one, I readily admit.
None of these cases were brought with the intention or belief of ever actually imprisoning PDJT, or of even ultimately prevailing i.e. “winning” in Court,…ALL will have PDJT winning on appeal.
They were to manipulate public opinion, the opinion of a sheeple that in large part no longer exists; one that used to unquestioningly “buy” whatever headline the MSM was pushing, too busy, distracted and emotionally triggered to use critical thinking and common sense, to sort out the truth of it.
And PDJT’s continued growth in support, his detractors collapse from RDS and Nikki, to Liz and Mitch, Kevin and Rhonna, are clear convincing evidence ITS NOT WORKING, or even is backfiring.
Perzactly
It is also being done to cost him money in legal fees, time, and stress. Except for the money he’s losing in legal fees, I almost think all this is making him stronger.
It’s also driving donations to his campaign higher.
Really interesting info (dirt) on that paragon of virtue public servant Letitia James. What a hypocrite pig she is.

You should not be surprised by this.
Why are we not calling for a ban on travel or doing business in New York?
Melinda: Rather than ask the question, just do it. Put NY on your $%& list and tell everyone you know to do the same.
Why don’t you do it instead of waiting for someone else to do it?
“The timing here is transparently political. The court could have intervened earlier with this decision but appears to have preferred to allow the Lawfare narrative the maximum amount of time to permeate the anti-Trump news cycle”
I think it backfired then, as it appears to have increased the Trump is being persecuted by stalking rabid dogs news coverage.
175 M is BS, Madoff bond was 10 M and he had victims
Bidenomics and its related inflation
The $175 million is a BOND, and he’ll get it back.
But, the $1.5 BILLION in free media advertising PDJT is getting from this?
,…..PRICELESS!
yep. Very few attacks on VSG PDJT fail to produce a counterpunch that the attacker regrets.
But the blood is in the water and the sharks and wolves are acting as if they are on a feeding frenzy when in reality, they are slowly beginning to starve. Millions of calm patriot observers who are clearly awakening are observing while they devour themselves.
But we must devote our attention to the powers behind the curtain…..
they are not done yet.
DJT cannot stop or let down his defenses.
LBJ was politically finished before Nov 22 and Life magazine was set for LBJ’s big crimes expose’ that weekend…
It’s almost like they want him to win…quite sadistic
Well, they have nothing else to use to keep their minions engaged emotionally.
Can’t say the leftists are terribly happy, giddy, thrilled with the economy, or peace in the ME.
They haven’t activated the sleeper cells yet – it will come, but the damn snowstorms screw up the mostly peaceful protests.
They have trained them to be rabid, unhappy (always), strident, fearful, uncivil hate filled nags, so that’s a win.
SEC was purposefully sticking their head in the sand. The courts had to do the same. Nothing to see here, move along.
Another government agency corrupt to the bone, guilty of gross and criminal maleficence, dereliction of duty.
Madoff stole billions – over $18 billiion, but count is fuzzy based on definitions.
I was talking to a few old liberals today and they were shocked that “the Supreme Court” has lowered Trumps bond. They get all of their news from NBC and CBS. One of them said they “want Trump killed.” And these are college educated people! They have no clue, no ability to think outside their box.
I tell them all of the time they need to read Conservative Treehouse/The Last Refuge, and get the facts.
You talk to folks like that?
You are a better individual than me, I simply smirk, shake my head and wander off.
Cheers!
Ignoring fools is an art. But it’s effective. Know-it-alls HATE being ignored.
I just avoid any association with liberals.
Haven’t seen some of my in-laws since shillary lost to DJT and I feel no loss 😉
The Court of Appeals is the highest court in NY. The lower courts are the Supreme Court-Trial Division, and Supreme Court-Appellate Division. It’s the New York way, I guess.
I would think that IF they did visit here & comment, it would be once again the battle between them & the ones who have been here a long time & with the resultant “cluttering up” of the comments.
Just a guess. ( I can just imagine the shatstorm though. 😉 )
I appreciate your efforts to try to get folks to open up their eyes & minds, though.
🙂
I try to do it often enough, but I tend to try to do so in a “subtle manner”, as to not get the leftie/libtards all discombobulated with “cognitive dissonance”.
They tend to get that “soap in the eyes” look & their eyes spin un-controllably if you give them too much info/facts at one time.
GOD Bless ya for your efforts!
🙂
And they laugh at us for believing that prayers can be answered. We’ll keep on praying, y’all just keep on laughing…
And PDJT is up another 5 points on JellyBrain.
So, he must be up to about 105%, by now,…right?
James and Engoron are committing judicial malicious prosecution…under color of law….
They will be prosecuted as such.
In time.
18 USC 241 & 242
Yes
Yes, but they are almost already dead. He is anyway. I think she was dead shortly after she was born
He does….
The truth of the matter is that this appellate court ruling shouldn’t even be news. As with all of the totally fraudulent lawfare bs, none of their attacks against PDT will withstand a full legal review. Such are the facts when the cases against him are all made up bs
When liberalism is given any position of responsibility or authority the result is ALWAYS corruption and decay. In religion when liberalism metastasizes you get name-it-and-claim-it charlatans. In government you get bribery, graft and tyranny. In society you get divorce, child sacrifice and homosexuality presented as reproductive “rights”. And in law you get trained expert criminals committing crimes perverting the law to get away with it.
And reportedly a new Harvard poll shows PDJT is up another 5 points on JellyBrain.
JellyBrain. Very good visual!
Too late for a walkback, the precedent had been established. Any property or business interests you own in NY state are now at risk of political seizure by the rogue state. Get out while you can.
Well, let’s see, Trump has been deprived of his 6th Amendment right to a jury trial and his 8th Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishments.
I look forward to the new Trump AG and Dept. of Justice convening a Federal Grand Jury to investigate whether there was conspiracy between Letitia James, Judge Engoron, and others to deprive Pres. Trump of his Constitutional Rights. Quoting Letitia James here, “We’re definitely going to sue his ass. He’ll know my name,” she said, using this promise to fundraise and run for office.
So, I think it’s good for us to get Pres. Trump elected and turn AG Ken Paxton loose to find the biggest A-hole prosecutor he can find and that person’s only reason for being is to empanel Federal Grand Jury and get to the bottom of this. And if it bankrupts New York State in the process, so be it.
If they refuse to appear, destroy records/emails/phones, etc. they go to prison for obstruction of justice.
Turnabout is fair play. This is one of many things I’m hopeful our next AG makes a priority. The nation will not be able to heal until Letitcia James, Judge Engoron, and their co-conspirators are in prison.
The are “acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States” which is illegal.
…and that smirking sum itch engoron is attempting to put the screws to the legitimate President of the United States of America…
Letitia;”Actin under COLORED law? Thas rassccciiiiist!”
Yeah….but not for much longer
Using the predatory lender law (albeit a gross inversion of the statute) enabled James to try PDJT under administrative law hence a bench trial.
Engoron is a disgrace…to “our democracy” ….the language of communists…but also to our Republic…our legitimate government…
James is a disgrace to all things good and civil…she…it…is simply a beast…as is Engoron…
Best joke about this outcome that I read today — thanks, Jimmy Failla:

Why these people have no fear, is stunning. They really believe there will be no grave danger.
Oh well, a few less corrupters riding free
Because ‘they’ currently control all aspects of government and think they always will; and they cannot afford to lose due to fear of losing control.
Finally MAGA has a good day. Truth Social /Digital World Acquisition Corp stock jumped to 54.34 a share and AG James does not get to fulfill her dream of seizing Trump’s ” overvalued ” properties. Now we just need SCOTUS to rule in our favor on the Trump immunity case.
The unicorn has landed ‼️

Lots of SAD faces on “No Body Cares” evening newspeak!!
LOL
The Court of Appeals ruling is kind of like SCOTUS granting cert. It isn’t saying Trump will win, but that he is going to get a hearing on the substantive legal issues. And that is a big win. It is also a little embarrassing for Letitia, Engeron and Little Miss Lawfare (his clerk). It’s not the public humiliation that reversal on the legal merits would have, but it is still a bit of a public slap down.
I think there were several reasons why the Court of Appeals did this.
Although the Court may be Dem-heavy, it does care about the overall credibility of the NY court system. It does not want to be known as a kangaroo court system. It probably is, but the international spotlight on this case is making that general knowledge.
(This NY judge was probably one of the worst. https://nypost.com/2019/09/09/judge-suspended-for-pooping-in-trash-can-dies-at-63/)
The Court of Appeals may have some genuine concern for the way Letitia twisted a consumer fraud statute to use in a case in which there was no victim. They may see a need to clarify how this law should be used or even to strike it down as unconstitutionally vague. More of these shake-down cases would also be bad for NY business, if Letitia decides to fill the public treasury with more big fines and settlements from corporate deep pockets.
The third reason is that the Court saw the possible devastating effects this case could have on real estate investment in NY, and on the NY economy in general, despite Gov. Hochul’s assurance to potential investors that Trump was a unique case and they needn’t be worried.
There may have been some discreet calls from business leaders to acquaintances on the Court of Appeals that they didn’t want NYC to go into a real estate doom loop like San Francisco. Given the commercial real estate vacancies in Manhattan, the crazy people pushing riders onto subway tracks, and the homeless pooping in the street, NYC isn’t an attractive choice for a business or tourists.
NY is a long, long, long, long way from any Constitutional home.
Boycott NY!
Thanks to Letitia, that’s what investors are probably doing.
“The Court of Appeals may have some genuine concern for the way Letitia twisted a consumer fraud statute to use in a case in which there was no victim. They may see a need to clarify how this law should be used or even to strike it down as unconstitutionally vague. ” Exactly ! and that the case should have been heard in commercial court.
Yes Wethal and lest we forget – Kathy Hochul is a well known liar, just like the rest of them!
I believe the only one hurt by those Marxist fines for a ZERO FRAUD case …was the democratic party
they are hemorrhaging voters over it, New york will be hemorrhaging business and constituents
I think Letitia and this Judge just put New York on a path of turning RED or very redish purple in 2024
Trump came out so on top that i think Trump could just sit back, put his feet up and still win 2024 in a landslide #Winning
Don’t forget Gov. Hochul’s role in this nonsense. She’s trying to reassure people that Trump is the only target and there’s nothing for anyone else to worry about. Hochul is a moron.
Hochul is a complete moron , she would have been much better off not saying anything at all very much like the alleged VP Harris.
NY has ZERO credibility until these two are in the worst prison for the rest of their crummy lives and numerous changes are made there. NY was bankrupt in the 60s stealing money from other(s) coffers and never really reformed.
Guilliani got his break when Goetz confessed to making NYC subways safer, but NYC was still sliding down the Roman spiral to ruin even then.
Horrible
This cretin looks like an old perv lurking on the streets of Portland for defenseless, drug addled kids. His shirtless pics must be a real treat.
I think the timing of the appeals court decision was perfect. The fringe left was all worked up with “we got him now” vibes only to be crushed at the last minute.
They are playing the game out, see we’re reasonable we lowered the bond to only $175m. They didn’t throw the case out which they would have if they were actually reasonable. In the end they’ll say President Trump got fair treatment. Of course he’ll lose and be hit with 100’s and who knows what else. The President will the have to appeal. The process is the punishment.
the President can turn a lot of pork OFF.
If only every time Trump makes one of his summary statement (short quips), in this case “Election Interference”, a detailed explanation by Sundance could be attached.
Arthur Engeron junior high school yearbook photo explains it all:
in a just world, the good guys put the bad guys to death
:
I’m so thankful the people are standing behind our REAL president. Why just reduce the bond amount! Why not just make it go away. There were no victims, for Pete’s sake. Ms. James is a millionaire on a salary around $150,000/year. Someone needs to check into her bank accounts.
Forgot to say – has anyone seen that PDJT’s pretty attorney said Engeron had taken a $10 million bribe? I don’t remember where I saw it today. I hope that is the truth.
