The New York appeals court has dealt another blow to Donald Trump’s legal team by rejecting his third attempt to delay the start of his hush money trial. The former president’s lawyers have been scrambling to postpone the trial, arguing that he should be out on the campaign trail rather than defending himself in court. It’s baffling to see the audacity with which Trump and his team continue to try and delay the inevitable.
Trump contends that he is immune from prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his time in office. However, his lawyers have not raised this as a defense in the hush-money case.… Continue reading
I find it truly appalling to read about the level of corruption that Jared Kushner has engaged in with foreign relations, a situation that seems to have been swept under the rug. The comparison to historical scandals like the Teapot Dome is stark, where a cabinet member ended up in prison for accepting bribes, while Kushner seems to have escaped any form of investigation. The fact that he was never even approved for security clearance and yet still managed to leech off his proximity to the President is mind-boggling.
The ease with which Kushner and his cohorts seem to have operated under the radar, engaging in sleazy deals worth billions with foreign entities like the Saudis, raises serious concerns about the state of our political system.… Continue reading
As I read about the recent developments regarding the $175 million bond that Trump is relying on, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The fact that the bonding company is not even licensed in New York is just mind-boggling. How can such a crucial financial aspect of this case be handled by a company that isn’t even operating within the state’s legal framework?
To add insult to injury, it turns out that the billionaire underwriting this bond is the chairman of a company that preys on individuals with low credit scores, offering them high-interest loans for purchasing cars.… Continue reading
Tesla settling with the family of the Apple engineer who tragically lost his life in a fatal crash while using Autopilot has sparked a myriad of opinions and reflections. The case highlights the complex intersection of personal responsibility and corporate accountability in the realm of autonomous driving technology. While some criticize the engineer for being distracted by a video game and not adhering to Tesla’s safety guidelines, others question the marketing tactics and claims made by Tesla regarding the capabilities of their Autopilot system.
The incident sheds light on the crucial need for transparency and clarity when it comes to labeling and promoting autonomous driving features.… Continue reading
It is truly mind-boggling how Donald Trump continues to evade consequences for his actions, using shady tactics and loopholes to delay the inevitable. The recent $175 million bond fiasco is a perfect example of how he manipulates the system to his advantage, with little regard for the law or ethics. The fact that the insurance company behind the bond is unlicensed and has not been properly vetted should raise red flags for anyone involved in this case.
What is even more concerning is the fine print of the legal document that shifts the burden of payment back to Trump himself, essentially rendering the insurance guarantee pointless.… Continue reading
In today’s society, the lines between justice and privilege have never been more blurred. The recent news of Jonathan Majors being sentenced to probation but no prison time for assaulting his ex-girlfriend has ignited a firestorm of controversy and debate. As a fan of his work and a follower of the entertainment industry, I can’t help but feel conflicted by the outcome of this case.
It’s disheartening to witness a talented actor like Majors potentially being let off the hook for a serious offense simply because of his fame and wealth. The fact that he was involved in a physical altercation with his ex-girlfriend should not be taken lightly, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the incident.… Continue reading
The recent news about Donald Trump being forced to reveal his finances in order to save his properties is not only entertaining but also clarifying. For so long, Trump has hidden behind excuses like being under audit to avoid disclosing his financial documents. But now, it seems like the legal system is finally catching up to him, holding him accountable to the same rules as everyone else. The court’s request for a current financial statement and a Power of Attorney is a step in the right direction to ensure transparency and accountability.
It’s amusing to see Trump’s usual bravado and deflection tactics being met with a firm request for necessary documentation.… Continue reading
As I sit here reading about Donald Trump’s failed attempt to delay the hush-money trial until the Supreme Court rules on immunity, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How can he possibly think that he is immune to facing consequences for his actions prior to becoming president? This man seems to believe that he is above the law, that the rules simply don’t apply to him.
It’s frustrating to watch him continuously try to manipulate the system, using every trick in the book to delay his conviction. His lawyers missing filing deadlines, raising immunity issues at the last minute, and failing to provide a valid reason for their delay is just the tip of the iceberg.… Continue reading
Johnson’s claim that the J6 rioters and insurrectionists were just “happening to be walking through the building” is not only ludicrous but dangerously misleading. The events of that day, January 6th, 2021, are seared into our collective memory. We witnessed a violent mob storm the Capitol, breach security barriers, break windows and doors, assault law enforcement officers, and vandalize government property. To dismiss these actions as simply a stroll through a building is to gaslight the entire nation.
The fact that some individuals resorted to smearing feces in the hallways of the U.S. Capitol only underscores the depravity and lawlessness that unfolded that day.… Continue reading
It’s frustrating to see the legal system being manipulated and delayed in a case as critical as the one involving Trump and his potential violations. The fact that Judge Cannon, who was appointed by the defendant himself, has been making questionable rulings that all seem to benefit Trump raises serious concerns about the integrity of the trial process. It’s alarming to think that a judge can make errors during a trial that could potentially lead to a not guilty verdict that cannot be appealed by prosecutors.
The delays and indecision in this case are concerning, especially when the implications are so significant.… Continue reading
