How can people not see the problem here?

Arthur F. Engoron.I’m very, very, confused about this whole Trump affair in New York.

The Judge found Trump Guilty of a crime for which there were no victims, in fact the supposed Victims testified in court they’d be pleased as punch for the Trump organization to victimize them some more.

The “Fraudulent” business dealings in question provided  the City and State of New York substantial tax revenue and Wall Street investors via their proxies (The Banks) profited.

I’m not seeing the criminality here.

Having worked in mortgage banking for a while during my career, I know that no bank takes at face value what the person or company applying for the loan claims the property is worth. Banks always review and independently verify the property value.

I’m not seeing where the fraud is,

If I have a penny that’s got some unique property and you want that penny. If you offer me $100 for that penny, then the penny has a current value of $100. If someone else offers $200 for the penny, The current value of the penny is $200. If you really want the penny and you go to a bank for a loan, The Bank and you may come to an agreement wherein the bank agrees to the value of the Penny and is willing to loan you $200.

Now you can pay me up to  $300 for the penny. I agree to sell you the penny for $300. I pay the income tax on the $300. You pay the Sales Tax on the $300. Nothing has changed about the penny but its value is now $300. You pay the Bank interest on the $200 they loaned you and the bank pays income tax on that interest. 

In addition, the bank pays its employees, You pay a guard to protect your Penny. The bank employees and your guard buy gas, and groceries, and lattes at Starbucks. Through it all the state and city derive tax revenue all from the sale of one unique  Penny.

Leticia James.This in a very simplistic fashion is what Donald Trump is “Guilty” of in New York.

I don’t see the crime Trump committed.

What I do see is an egregious miscarriage of Justice. I see breath taking corruption. I feel Shame, that our vaunted justice system has been degraded and dragged through the mud.

Lady justice lies naked, beaten, and bloodied. She’s been brutally raped by New York Attorney General Letitia James, and New York Judge Arthur Engoron.

(As an aside, I can’t think of too many things more horrible than being raped by Arthur Engoron. Damn! That visual is gonna give me nightmares.)

The miscarriage of justice doesn’t end there. The way Engoron wrote his order forces Trump to post into a New York Court system account 387 million dollars before Trump can appeal to a higher court. Further, Trump cannot leverage or sell  his real estate holdings in New York to obtain the cash bond to file the appeal, and  locks Trump out of using banks in New York to obtain a loan.

Honestly, this looks like the State of New York confiscating property to prevent the defendant from filing an appeal. In other words The City and State of New York is effectively denying a defendant their right to appeal. Leticia James is talking about taking Trumps Buildings. If she were to do this, then the State and City of New York will be committing outright THEFT! Not that the Democrats in New York give a shit. They won’t give a shit until their Condos and apartments are seized.

But it’s worse, it’s more disgusting.  The law requires that interest be charged on the unpaid bond daily until the bond is secured. So Trump must cough up something like 400 million dollars now, and that number keeps going up.

Kathy Hochul.This is an obscenity that is stomach turning. I don’t give a shit about Trump. I give a shit about the justice system being so corrupt that the accused never has a chance.

What is playing out before our eyes is the very Nazi, Communist, system that our grandfathers and fathers fought to stop in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War.

The heart break is that so many people are in a joyful tizzy that Trump is on the hook and completely missing that this shit could happen to them.

It gets even more disgusting when you realize that if Engoron’s ruling stands. Trump and his companies can’t do business in New York for 3 years. Meaning that they can’t liquidate their properties to exit New York and they must remain to be Financially Raped by the State of New York. Liquidation of assets is doing business. So they can’t move, they can’t conduct business, and they still have to pay the tax burden on the properties they can’t get rid of.

This is similar to some of the stuff I believe we fought a revolution against the King of England about.

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York went on television to assure other corporations and businesses that they had nothing to worry about. Trump was a special case.  Every businessman or corporation should be asking the question, “When do I become a special case?”

If any of these businesses have a lick of sense they’d better be looking for the door out of New York. I guarantee there will not be enough “Snake Pliskins” to help them escape from New York later.

The Truckers, while I’m glad to see them refusing to deliver to NYC, are unfortunately missing the point. Many of these Truckers are independent small business owners. They too get loans for trucks, and trailers. They also are likely to “Exaggerate” the worth of their business, property, or vehicles to secure a loan to advance their business. 

What New York has done is a direct threat to them all. Especially any of these truckers operating out of a state that thinks like New York. What happens if one of these guys makes a politician or a judge angry? 

Kathy Hochul’s reassurances notwithstanding to the people of New York… This new legal tool, and that’s exactly what it is, being successfully used on Trump, means it will be used again and again to drive anyone who questions authority into debtor’s prison. (Remember those? England under King George had a lot of them and emptied them onto boats to settle the colonies.)

Do you know anyone who could afford to pay even $500,000 to post a bond without being able to leverage their property or work with a bank in the state in which they reside? You realize that banks have rules imposed by the US Government that make opening an account in another state very difficult, much less depositing cash or getting a loan. 

These independent truckers shouldn’t be carrying water for Donald Trump.

They should be screaming bloody murder about the way the justice system has been perverted in New York and their platform should be to make sure nothing like this happens in any other state.

It’s not too far a step from having to buy an appeal, to just buying an appellate judge to rule in your favor.

I know, there are a lot of you reading this and saying “That Can’t Happen! WWDucat you’re out of your mind!”

Okay, over the past 4 years how much that “Couldn’t Happen” or “Couldn’t be True” has happened or been proven?

I never in my whole life imagined that I’d see a criminal case where the Defendant was found guilty with no Victims. I never believed that the Justice system could be weaponized with legislators of a state reconfiguring the statute of limitations to be able to try one man. I Never thought it was possible for a man to be tried for a sexual assault in a public place that didn’t happen, be found innocent, then be tried again and found guilty because he said he didn’t know the person and he believed she was clearly ill. 

Oh, and just to be clear, the woman in question has a history of false accusations of sexual assault. She couldn’t remember the exact date, she says she didn’t cry out in a public place with people not 20 feet away, she claimed she was too shocked to do anything but take it.

Uh huh, RIGHT! I’ve actually been the guy who opened the door to a female friend 1/2 hour after she’d been raped. I can’t in any way imagine any unimpaired woman just accepting being raped. That’s doubly true if the woman is in a freaking Macy’s. My friend was raped in her own apartment and the place looked like a bomb went off. She apparently fought like a demon and lost only because he beat her unconscious. So based on my knowledge of my friend, nah… Trump probably wasn’t ever in the same building with E Jean Carrol until the first bullshit trial.

Before I leave this particular aspect of Trumps NYC legal issues, I want to point something else out. Every single woman should be pissed as hell at E Jean Carrol and New York City, because now any woman claiming to have been raped by a well to do or wealthy man will be treated with suspicion and derision. “Oh don’t listen to her, she’s just trying to pull an E Jean Carrol on me because she’s mad at me for some reason or another. You know how women are…”

Trump spoke the truth and got fined 87 million dollars because the nut job had her feelings hurt.

So all of these “Can’t Happen” things have happened in the past 2 years who’s to say the “Can’t Happen” stuff won’t keep happening?

Trump might be the lightening rod. 

Trump is not the issue. The issue is the clear, persistent, and unchecked corruption evident in every single branch and level of our government.

If the people and I mean all the people of this country do not unite against this corruption regardless of their political party or personal hatred of Trump, the United States of America is done.

We The People must not be cowed into submission due to fear of our corrupt government.


Update:

Praise Jesus!

Not 10 minutes after I wrote this piece and scheduled it for publication, I flipped on the TV and there was an interview with a truck driver from Louisiana who gets it.

Thank God for us Southern Men!

He said and I’m paraphrasing,  Lets forget Trump, don’t matter if you call him President, Criminal, or what ever. If these people can do it to Trump, they can do it to any one of us.

DAMN! I’m not fucking alone! My People, crazy as some of us may be, aren’t stupid sheep! I’ve always been proud of my Southern Roots, but today my heart is bursting with Southern Pride.

The truckers are apparently going to boycott delivery of goods to NYC. 

That’s likely to be interesting. What happens when the criminals, the illegals, and the dumbass liberals all go hungry in a city where the police force has been decimated?

Good Golly, I’m gonna have to make sure I’ve got Popcorn and Beer. This is likely to be really fucking entertaining!

It’s time for the EPA to take a really hard look at New York City’s water.

I say this because when NYC produces people like AOC, Hakeem Jeffries, Eric Adams, George Santos, Chuck Schumer, & Dan Goldman to name a few. Something is seriously wrong somewhere.

I swear I really have to ask if there’s lead or mercury in the water. Add chemicals to really poor education and you get Hakeem Jefferies saying on CNN that the choice of  Special counsel Robert Hur not to pursue criminal charges against Biden is exoneration. It was not, it was Hur recognizing that by the time the mishandling of classified documents came to trial there wouldn’t be enough of Bidens memory left to question.

That’s not exoneration! That is Joe Biden getting away with YET ANOTHER CRIME!!!! 

Hakeem Jefferies is a moron!

Representative Dan Gold seems to think that Trump is guilty of some crime in the NY Fraud Trial, as does the Judge, When the “Victims” testified that they were not Victimized and they’d do business again with Trump.

The facts though, matter not one bit. Dan Gold loves crowing about how wrong and evil Trump was and how he deserves to pay 370 million dollars in restitution… For a CRIME THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.

George Santos thought he could get elected on a pack of lies… And he did! He was obviously smoking something with lead and mercury in it, or George Santos knew his constituency well enough to believe they were too stupid to care.

Schumer… I could fill a book with that scum bag.

AOC? I wouldn’t trust her to pour a glass of bourbon. She’d screw it up and claim I didn’t order right. It’s two things. A Glass, and Bourbon. I’m sure she’d forget one or the other.

People cannot be naturally this stupid! Even 20th generation inbred folks from the hollers of Appalachia aren’t as fucked up as people in NYC.

It’s got to be something in the water!

God, Please force them to speak the truth.

I’m tired of the gaslighting. I’m tired of the spin. I’m tired of the lies and half truths. I’m tired of the “Revelations” and “New Information” that is actually old stuff that we all knew, or suspected that was denied, or swept under the carpet.

I pray to God that for one week no one could lie.

It might get us into World War III but damn it would be so refreshing to hear nothing but truth.

For three years we’ve been told the Border is Secure. We all knew it wasn’t. Now suddenly Biden and Mayorkas say the border isn’t secure and it’s the Republicans or Trumps fault.

WHAT THE FUCK? So for the past three years while you assholes had control and Donald Fucking Trump didn’t have control of anything in the government, the border was secure? Well assholes, Trump still has no control over anything in the government so what’s changed? 

Nothing! You’re just admitting what the whole fucking country has known all along. You’re only admitting it now because it’s an election year and you see the handwriting on the wall.

A lot of the American public would probably be just fine with putting you all on trial for treason. If found guilty, the summary executions on the capital steps would probably make a fortune on pay per view.

But now, it’s too late. The damage is done the FBI is telling us that something akin to 9/11 isn’t just possible it’s probable. It’s only a matter of when some terrorist group or groups decide to start setting off bombs, or flying planes into building, or shooting up large gatherings, or blowing up school busses. 

Now, the only way to deal with the problem is to deport every single illegal immigrant without mercy. Oh and their anchor babies too. That necessity will degrade the quality of life for all Americans. We’ll have to have our papers, and present them on demand to every law enforcement officer we encounter. Talk about destruction of the American way of life!

No matter what happens in the upcoming election. Whoever or whatever was running the Biden Administration will have succeeded in destroying this country.

But remember… There wasn’t any border crisis for the past three years. Biden, Mayorkas, Jean-Pierre, and the talking heads on the news told us so. This crisis? Well Trump did it!

Joe Biden according to a Federal Prosecutor shouldn’t be tired for mishandling classified documents because he’s a kind old elderly man with memory issues.

Karine Jean-Pierre says the same week that Joe Biden is fit and does more in an hour than most people do in a day. So which is it?

I’ll choose to believe my lying eyes. Joe Biden is unfit for office. It’s obvious, it’s been obvious from the start and I’ll never understand how he got elected in the first place. I’m no fan of Donald Trump. But DAMN! I’ll take Donald Trump over an empty sock puppet, any day of the week.

The media telling us that everything is fine. The economy is doing well, prices are falling, and if you’re not seeing this golden age you’re obviously a MAGA White Supremacist.

Or that shoveling another trillion dollars into the burn pit called Ukraine and funding Hamas in the name of humanitarian aid while providing Israel weapon systems is right and just. Why do journalists never question that Egypt will not accept Palestinian refugees nor will any other middle eastern country. And how is it in any way Humane for us to be prolonging a war that Hamas started, by supporting both sides?

Typically if an arms dealer does that kind of thing, they’re killed or end up in international court for committing war crimes.

Blaring from outlets and protestors 24/7 is the accepted illogical “fact”; Men can become women, Woman can become men and subsequently “Birthing Persons” but they’re still men. Binary gender is wrong, gender fluid is right. If you go on a date, decide to hop in the sack and find that the entity you’ve brought home does not have expected equipment, you’re supposed to suck it up and make do. Even though you’re not going to be emotionally or sexually satisfied. It’s impolite to say you don’t like Bait and Switch.

It’s not just the politicians, or the media, or even the insanity of society at large.  It’s the SPAM inundating my email, and my mail box.

“Your account is locked… We’ve been trying to reach you.”
“Here is the information you requested from <Insert Name Here>”
“Your package delivery has been suspended…”

It’s the bullshit text messages

Hi Bob, hey I enjoyed our date last night
I’m not Bob, and we didn’t have a date last night
Oh I’m sorry to bother you. You seem kind, would you like to date me?
What about Bob? I’m a Bros before hoes kind of guy. You’re sure acting like a ho.
You’re very mean you should be reported to the police, I’ll say you raped me. Send me 5000.00 in bitcoin and I won’t report you…

And let’s not forget the phone calls.

Hello there you qualify for an electrical service discount.”
Oh really? Since the solar panels on my roof pay for my electrical service are you saying that if I sign up you’re going to pay me more every month based on the KWH I sell back the the electrical grid?”
Well someone in your household contacted us.”
Doubtful unless you’re using a Ouija Board

For someone like me, this kind of crap is literally painful. It’s like having a constant buzzing in your ear that you can’t get away from. It takes cycles out of my brain and sucks up time because I can’t believe what I’m hearing and l have to get to the bottom of it.

The Cognitive Dissonance all this causes is damaging. There have been some studies that suggest continued exposure to Cognitive Dissonance can in fact cause psychological damage.

You can’t turn it off. There is no escape. The constant crashing of lies, insanity, and stupidity is everywhere. From inside your home to screens blaring on top of the gas pump.

It’s no wonder people in this county are medicating themselves into numbness. With drugs(legal and illegal), alcohol, food, or staying in their parents basements looking for the next masturbatory VR thrill. Honestly, I’m not sure I blame them.

What I want is for truth to be normal again. I’m not sure it ever was. 

Failing that, I want to sue the Federal government for creating an unhealthy living environment for me and millions of other people due to their chronic lies.

Obviously I’d like a shit ton of money. But I’d settle for every member of our government having to wear shock pants that were lie detectors.

Shock Pants were created by Scott Adams in the Dilbert comic strip and also appeared in the Dilbert TV series. I’m not sure which appearance came first.

I’d love to watch Joe Biden or Mayorkas or Karine Jean-Pierre or Donald Trump, fry their private parts with Shock Pants or simply tell the truth.

Their choice.
