Today I learned, as most of you did also, that Trump will have to put up the over $450 million that Engoron fined him before he can appeal. That’s a ridiculous requirement which explains why the leftist judge set the fine at such a ridiculously high amount.

Remember this is under a statute that requires no wrongdoing. No one was defrauded or harmed in any way. The lenders all got paid back on time and said they would love to do more business with Trump. Also remember that the trial was just over damages for no damage. The unprofessional joke of a judge had unilaterally found Trump guilty of fraud although there was none which makes his finding all the more laughable.

Now what dawned on me today is that this was a well thought out approach to damage trump’s presidential campaign. A normal verdict would be appealed before payment. Thus Trump could appeal and get it reversed without putting up, essentially civil bail. However now Trump has to come up with a serious amount of money just to appeal and have the money returned but too late to stop the damage done. Thus this was the perfect statute to fuck with Trump. You could find him guilty without actually proving any fraud or that anyone was damaged. And then you could just impose a huge fine to interfere with his campaign.

I personally think that the statute will be declared unconstitutional if it ever gets out of NY and to the Supremes. I don’t think you can have a legitimate law that requires no proof of anyone being defrauded or injured in anyway and then just make up a fine out of thin air. Essentially it gives the state an unfettered right to arbitrarily take any amount of money from you.

I think the verdict will be overturned in New York because the obvious repercussions are already making public officials try to differentiate Trump from anyone else because people are pointing out that you’d be crazy to conduct business in NY, given what this case demonstrates.

First as if we don’t need more reminders that academia has gone over to the dark side, a few of them put out some completely bizarre paper ranking Magoo as I think the 14th best president of all time and Trump as the worst president of all time. Now I don’t know enough about all the presidents to offer my opinions but I can confidently say that Magoo wouldn’t make the top fifty, and Trump would be in my top ten or better. Certainly during my voting years, I would rank him as number one.

This group ranked Lincoln as number one and I don’t really have a problem with that, one of their criteria was unifying the country. Lincoln’s election led to the country breaking in half and engaging in civil war..

Magoo has attacked half the country and has now resulted in division in his own party between the antisemities and the sane folks. I don’t see how dissing 70% of the country is unifying.

Another thing that I find interesting is all the left’s excitement about the idiotic decision on Trump’s bank loans. Quite frankly the judge should be removed and then disbarred. His bias was evident to anyone with a brain and he’s clearly not very bright. Now the verdict will undoubtedly be reversed and even a large number of pundits on the left are questioning it. And I don’t believe that it will have any effect on the election because it is so outrageous. He evaluated Mar-a-Largo at $18 million and everyone has said it’s closer to a billion.

Lastly, the jury is still out on the now indicted whistleblower who said the Biden’s got a lot of money from I think China, I don’t remember and it really doesn’t matter. Listen. Christopher Steele never got indicted for the Russia hoax, nor anyone else providing false information about Trump. And there is a ton of other evidence about the Biden family criminal enterprise.

So I’m not going to make any decision on whether or not he’s guilty or this is just another Magoo action to cover his crimes.

I know I said presidential immunity would be next but it will wait — particularly if the Supreme Court decides to take it up. Then there will be plenty of time.

I am writing today about the Tushy trial. I managed to watch some of it and it wasn’t very enjoyable. As I have said previously. I find most litigation to be boring and not very competent. The one thing that came out is that Tushy is claiming she paid for her part of all the lavish trips in cash, and neither her nor her paramour can provide any evidence to support that. No withdrawal slips or bank statements to support the nonsense they are spouting.

I almost didn’t write this because although I had started before the Five came on, they covered everything pretty well.

With the obvious dementia of Magoo, I was surprised last night on Gutfeld when Kat said that he’s never been asked to take one and immediately thought that’s bs because I can think of at least one occasion when he was asked and responded that there was no need for one and he wouldn’t take one. He said just watch me and unfortunately we have.

Now that reminded me of my mental competency test. While I was in the hospital, nurses frequently asked me what year it was and who was the president. To the later I usually responded “your guess is as good as mine” which usually got a chuckle. But there was a neurologist who apparently decided to go a little further. He asked me to spell Dennis which I did and then he asked me to spell it backwards,and I wanted to say t-i but I resisted the impulse and immediately spelled sinned and he was flabbergasted at the speed of my response. He couldn’t believe that I could do it instantaneously without any pause. He looked perplexed so I explained that it’s sinned and a little quiz I give to people as a conversation starter. I’m sure that most of you that I know read my nonsense have had me ask the question. And I enjoyed his incredulity and suffice it to say I passed with flying colors.

My next rant will be on presidential immunity.

I was going to write something earlier today about the Special Counsel’s report but most everything I would have commented on was covered and if you followed anything you would have already heard, but now that Magoo has actually spoken, it behooves me to comment.

First let me comment on the special counsel report. It was as expected a supposed exoneration of Magoo’s actions with respect to classified documents. In reality, it was proof that Magoo willfully violated the law. He had classified documents from his time in the Senate. There is no way under any law and I’m well aware of the laws that a senator can take and keep classified documents in his home.. So those documents which he willfully retained actually and knowingly kept and in some cases wrote prove he’s guilty, and the most annoying thing about the special counsel report is that while he finds Magoo willfully violated the laws pertaining to classified documents, he says that now 20 or more years later that the fact that he is non compos mentis that he didn’t commit the crimes that he did. To me, this is the equivalent of saying that if I shot and killed someone 15 years ago, and now assuming the statute of limitations is longer than that, and in many jurisdictions there is none for murder., that I would be innocent of the killing.. Total BS! It certainly might results in a guilty finding but placement in a home for the senile rather than a jail.

Magoo said in his remarks that the special counsel cleared him all guilt. As I point out above, that’s just total nonsense. The special counsel found that he willfully retained classified material and as is always the case, Magoo was a liar. The special counsel did not exonerate him at all. He just gave him a pass as you would expect given the two tiered system of justice we have.

And something that really caught my attention during Magoo speech was when on national television talking about how great his memory is he could not remember the name of the school that his son Beau went to. He said that it was our lady of and then couldn’t remember. Having gone to Catholic school I can tell you that there are a lot of schools named our lady of mercy, our lady of of the immaculate conception, just our lady anything but he couldn’t remember while telling us how good his memory was. Personally. I attended our lady of S&M under the school sisters of the Marquis’s de Sade.

He also confused the head of Mexico with the head of Egypt. Not a real indication of his memory and mental acuity.

The Dems now have a clear opportunity to get Biden off the ticket using either a resignation or the 25th amendment, but they still have the problem of Kamala. They are going to have to figure out someway to get her out to let some other unqualified idiot in. Good luck with that.

One other thing, he said, that was total bullshit is that none of his documents were highly classified because they didn’t have that red thing on. Making them really secret. I can tell you from personal experience that every classified document has a cover on it even down to the confidential material, the lowest level of classification.

Amidst all the uproar over the bogus border bill and yes it’s even worse than expected, but you don’t need my input. It’s all now out in the open.

The reason for this rant is that I saw only one place mention a section of the bill that makes the rest of the bs even more objectionable. There is a provision that places exclusive jurisdiction for any litigation concerning the bill in the US District Court for DC — that’s right probably the most left court in the country. The group that is trying their best to screw Trump and is responsible for J6 trespassers to be held in solitary without bail for a year or more before their trials.

The end result is that the Dems can interpret it in any way they want to make up and they will get a very friendly forum for the litigation.

First let me say that I probably have as many observations as ever but I’m too lazy to put them up but I’m trying to get better.

Was just watching Levin and he had a segment on Claudine Gay, the now former president of Harvard whose claim to fame was that she basically plagiarized everything and has never had an original thought. She became president of what used to be a prestigious university because she checked two boxes. She’s black and a woman, although I I don’t know if she was asked about her gender.

Now the thing that popped into my mind was has anyone checked doctor Jill’s dissertation or whatever it is called to see if she plagiarized any of it, and the thought came to mind that no one would do that given her protected status.

And then it also came to mind, and remember as I ranted about previously I read about the first third of it and it was barely literate, if she did plagiarize any of it then she’s even dumber than I thought. If you’re going to cheat then at least copy someone intelligent. Whoever wrote it was dumb.

Next, contrary to what seems to be a popular position on the left, and even some on the right, Michelle Obama is not going to run for president. Why would she? Due to her husband selling out his office, she now lives better than she would as president and doesn’t have to put up with constant questions from the press She has all the perks and none of the problems. And don’t forget that she’s not that bright. (I’ve ranted about this previously.) What’s she ever done other than ruin school lunches? Her resume is completely absent of anything relevant, except sleeping with a president and that didn’t cut it for Hillary and she had at least been a senator and Secretary of State. (It’s open to debate if she actually slept with Bill during his presidency.)

I have a couple more things to comment on tomorrow.

Was watching Jesse and he was covering the hearings today with big tech officials on Capitol Hill about algorithms designed to hook children into pornography and other things that cause them to potentially commit suicide. At one point when Cruz was questioning Zuckerberg about I believe it was instagram there was an option to either go back or continue to material that may contain child abuse or maybe child sexual abuse, I don’t recall which, and Zuckerberg was talking about how they were trying to weed out such content and if that was true why Cruz didn’t ask the obvious question that he should have. Namely if you need to develop an algorithm to root out child sexual abuse content, why does option two exist? Obviously you already have the necessary algorithms

It just annoys the hell out of me, when supposedly bright lawmakers miss the glaring, flashing in red lights, question that would have destroyed the bullshit. I can’t be the only one who sees the obvious!!

.

What the hell are you doing? You came in third in Iowa and second in New Hampshire and although your speech sounded like you were claiming victory, second place in New Hampshire was last place. Coming in second place in a two person race is nothing to brag about. It’s the worst you could have done!

Now you know from reading my musings that I have never been enamored of her candidacy because she is just another neocon, globalist never met a war I didn’t like throwback to the Bush Cheney McCain RINO’s. Her wing of the Republican Party is 30% at best on a good day and that’s not going to change. Trump’s MAGA movement commands the vast majority of the GOP.

She never had a path to the nomination absent something happening to Trump and I don’t know if even a conviction on the phony charges brought against him would deter his victory at this point.

It’s now painfully clear that there is no way she can win and let me say Thank God! She would be barely better than the combined O’Bama Magoo disaster. So why is she staying in and not dropping out and endorsing Trump? I can think of only three reasons. First she was always looking to be number two and pun intended I think she got there

Second, she’s praying for lawfare to succeed. Unfortunately, I think that it’s clear that the odds of any of these trials occurring before the election as 50-50 at best and I’m not sure as I said before that a conviction would hurt Trump’s chances since the political nature of these cases is known by everyone.

Third, Nikki must be getting richer from the donations. Which begs the question, why are these billionaires still contributing her campaign. They have to know they’re wasting money. So what are they expecting to get? If you know let me know.

I wasn’t going to cover this because it should be obvious and it was just covered oh the Ingraham Angle but Murdaugh got screwed today. ICYMI at a hearing today on whether or not he should get a new trial because of the actions of the clerk who was very biased and conveyed her feelings to the jurors. One juror testified that her vote was influenced by the clerk. And the judge denied him a new trial.

Now I’m not going to argue about whether or not he’s guilty or not because as I said at the time, I didn’t follow it enough to have an informed opinion. But people this is a criminal trial and requires a unanimous decision in order to convict. One no vote or one yes vote based on improper influence leads to a not guilty verdict. The judge should have required a new trial!!
