Deranged online maga cultists like basilico loco never watch the rapist fascist trump's rally or town halls because they don't care and they don't vote.

Obrigardo. NY appeals court had some questions to Letitia and judge Engoron regarding new York AG lawfare case against Trump.

This is so good!

Kamala Talk
@kamalatalk
The case that led to Trump's $489 million civil "fraud" verdict was bogus. He took out a loan from major banks. He paid it back. They had no complaint. "No harm, no foul."

But the local District Attorney brought a case anyway, using an obscure law that had never been applied like this. A biased judge ruled against Trump.

The NY state Appellate Court is very skeptical. Here are clips from several different justices.

--transcript--
[Justice] Underneath all these questions, the question of mission creep, has 6312 morphed into something that it was not meant to do?

[Deputy Solicitor General, Judith Vale] All the defendants repeatedly violated...

[Justice] Ms. Vale, can you identify any previous case which the attorney general sued under Executive Law 6312 to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners?

[Vale] And it was using...

[Justice] I'm sorry, but what's being described sounds an awful lot like a potential commercial dispute between private actors.

[Justice] I mean, you've got two really sophisticated parties in which no one lost any money. ... The case that you cite involved where there was damage to consumers, damage to the marketplace. You've got a scheme to get unsophisticated consumers to take out home loans. You've got a collapse of Lehman Brothers. You don't have anything like that here.

[Justice] And that's something you must address, because there has to be some limitation on what the attorney general can do in interfering in these private transactions, as Justice Friedman said, that where people don't claim harm. So what is the limiting principle?

[Justice] The immense penalty in this case is troubling. So how do you tether the amount that was assessed by Supreme Court to the harm that was caused here where the parties left these transactions happy about how things went down?

[Justice] Historical backdrop to this law, how do we draw a line or at least put up some guardrails to know when the AG is operating well within her, admittedly, broad sphere of 6312, and when she is going into an area that wasn't intended for her jurisdiction?
As expected , case will likely be thrown out .. Letitia now wants to run for mayor. Those judges maybe don't want to look like idiots when Supreme Court throws out the case.
Trump will one day sue for damages, either New York will divert expenses towards the 157 hotels housing illegal immigrants Or they will surcharge Letitia and Engoron. Good thing. Trump org is not Trump. His children and the org can also sue for billions after which they never have to work for a single day..Maybe a court can rule that all New York revenues for several years should go to Trump family.

EDIT
Bret Baier is not overtly biased. He is. Kamala had refused to debate Trump on Fox , Now she wants to go face Bret ??
Someone must have told her that she is not being taken seriously after several incidents

We can t forget the ABC debate where the two moderators and her had practiced for a whole month on how to make her look good and cast Trump as a villain.

Came Dana Bash CNN softball questions to her in another interview which only aired 8.5678 minutes instead of the full 40 minutes plus unedited interview.

On a live radio interview it was clear she was shuffling papers .

In another radio interview a host came forward with revelations that her team sent 8 questions of which 4 were selected for live interview. The whistleblower was admonished.

In the other town hall She had a teleprompter that yes, was not on throughout , but it guided her when it came to policy questions
Those policy questions whose answer does not begin with " I come from a middle class family ' .

Trump had also demanded previously on the hosts at Fox news acceptable to him in a debate with her , Bret was.He was not.


X users roasted him.

I use nairaland to bookmark some sites .
In 2020 a whistleblower swore an affidavit about transporting hundreds of thousands of marked ballots from Michigan to Pennsylvania via USPS.
Todate the postal service has never revealed the details .



Case files ......
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63178307/della-rocca-v-united-states-postal-service/


Patrick Byrne has been trying to get the USPS to tell him who paid for the trucks that moved ballots around the country during the 2020 election. They had to match the number of ballots to the number of “votes”.

Guess who got corrupt judge Emmet Sullivan to direct where the ballots went.

Norm Eisen

No doubt one of Norm’s democracy dictator groups paid for it.

It is only in your right wing fever dream that Boeing's woes are being attributed to dei. Actual technical and business journals place the issues where they belong - short thinking corner cutting to please the shareholders. Making 'shareholder value' the company watchword. It makes one wonder exactly what appears in your daily feed.




Maybe you have also somehow missed all the articles about twitters current market value.

The less you cap about musk, the better.

Maybe it is dei hires that are led to a drop in value from 44 billion to under 10 billion
You think if Musk to sell X , the buying price would be 9 billion. The way the left would love to control it.
I would put it at $100 B.

Boeing has technical issues,emphasis on profits share prices, competition, govt contracts plus DEI.My guess is that they will utvdiem mostly non technical staff.

Boeing went dei? Do you live under a rock? Boeings story has been in the news for over a year. How they merged with mcdonnel Douglas in the 90s and allowed accountants rather than engineers lead the company and how they have been chasing shareholder value and enshittifying the company.

Boeing is a warning tale of late stage capitalism and the dangers of focusing solely on quarterly reports. You right wingers are really and truly something else with your willful ignorance.
I agree to a limited extent. They have accountants running the behemoth and ignoring seasoned engineers. We can't ignore they were big on DEI.

I guess most of those going will be DEI hires.
It's happened to a lot of companies.

Most of this is misinformation, a lack of understanding of economic policy and/or convoluted.

I already went through a lot of it in previous posts.
One that stood out is Trump and oil. He actually negotiated a deal to cut oil production. Which was the start of the increase in gas prices.
Oil production is actually higher now than ay time in history.

Another is the tariffs. You say you care about high prices but tariffs would be inflationary in the short term as companies would have to open up and hire to start producing those goods.
Another poster after a few exchanges with you has concluded you are a retard.

Article describes how Biden admin has caused the instability in the Middle East from Iran. Biden blames Trump but reality is that his appeasement is the real reason .

https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/11/how-the-biden-harris-admin-helped-iran-get-to-the-brink-of-a-nuclear-bomb/

To be fair to Biden his reaction to Iran is a continuation of Obama policies, what with John Kerry meeting Iranians in Paris during Trump admin, what with people like Susan Rice in WH. It boils down to incompetence on Bidens part. Iran is at 60% uranium enrichment level , just weeks away from 90% weapon grade level if they so desired.


Hamas secretly reached out to Iran to join in the October 7 attacks . Though they didn't, Iran however gave the training and weapons for that raid.

1.) I didn't understand this post at first. Then it made sense. You have such a little understanding of the US and Black civil rights you don't understand how racism or the struggle for quality relates to Black men historically voting for Democrats. Or why they will still vote for Democrats. Again, you have just enough information to make yourself sound uninformed. It's unfortunate that you decided to put that ignorance on display.

2.) I am black in the American context. Again, back to you not having an understanding of the US or racism as you've never really experienced it. It doesn't matter that I see myself as African or that I am an immigrant. Racist members of the majority white US population who have most of the power will see me as black as long as I have black skin. That's the nature of racism. The belief that black skinned people (doesn't matter the origin) are inferior.

3.) You should really be able to backup what you write without having to send up a coon flare to your fellow Cooning Association members. If you can't back it up, maybe don't write it.

So, I'm trying to understand what perspective you bring to this.
I don't like Obama..He screwed up the Middle East and empowered Iran.
He was partly responsible for genocide of Christians and Yazidis for his actions of arming ISIS while first arming moderates who were hardcore jihadists that joined ISIS later. He called ISIS a JV team in his arrogance.
That's just ISIS middle east, he totally fvcked it up. . He also did nothing for Africa whereas Bush started AGOA that has employed hundreds of thousands of Africans .
Days before he left office he was to send $300 million to Palestinians, part of the money pays families terrorists who murder Jews in Israel.

Kamala Harris got a very good review on Vogue.
Daily mail has the receipts her performance at Frisco below par.


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13947367/kamala-harris-performance-review-san-francisco-lawyer.html
Kamala Harris appeared on Vogue magazine. She got good reviews . Curiously the cover photo was taken on October 7 the day Israel was attacked by Hamas. Same day that she botched up Hurricane Helena and Hurricane Milton was bearing down on Florida. She was posing for cover shoots while rescuers were searching for bodies.

She also released her health report today. Democrats and media have been accusing Trump of giving rambling speeches. Was all choreographed. She will of course suggest Trump has not done likewise because he might be unfit for office.
Her medical report here.
https://apnews.com/article/harris-medical-records-trump-903d7c1654ca0236a4b08f9b59b4e2b8

Of course she in excellent health .
Lots of good things including
She works out daily and eats healthy; does not smoke and drinks only occasionally and in moderation.

They also said Joe was in excellent health, so I'll not believe the report . Including the drinking occasionally, I think she is permanently high on booze or weed..And was too drunk for four years to go visit the border.
I also believe her and beer are still very good buddies as I write this.

It was not Hamas that made the two state solution difficult, it was hardliners on both sides. In fact Hamas took advantage of the hardliners to get power from more moderate PLO, just like Benjamin Nathanyahu (a hardliners on the Israeli side) took advantage of the hardliners to gain power.
Hamas and Likud Party are two sides of the same coin - hardliners not ready to concede any concession to the other.
Yitzhak Rabin and Yassar Afafat were more moderate and were negotiating a permanent peaceful solution to the conflict under Bill Clinton's administration. They signed the Oslo 1 and 2 accords,(for which both were awarded the Nobel Peace Price). But hardliners in both countries rejected the Oslo accords. Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated and Yassar Afafat died (suspected assassination), since then the chance of any peaceful solution died.
Arafat was never a moderate He had blood on his hands , he is the guy who smiles at you while holding a knife behind his back
There are plenty of moderates not necessarily the minority. On the other hand a vocal minority can impose it's will on the majority.
Listen to this brilliant response from Bridgett Gabriel to a ' moderate' hijabi playing gotcha.
