This mickey mouse DA Alvin Bragg effort to prosecute vax deniers brought to a screeching halt. In his mind they must be Trump supporters. The defendants must have spent a lot of money paying laywers in a frivolous case brought by a DA who is also using an archaic law to target Drumph.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg attempted to charge two New York residents with felonies for having false vaccine passports while he has let off others charged with far worse crimes scot-free.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Brendan T. Lantry dismissed the felony charges against the rdecisionesidents, identified as J.O. and R.V. in the , who had bought the forged vax passports, usurping Bragg's decision. judge wrote in the opinion, "Clearly, Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree (Penal Law § 170.25) is not among the most serious crimes in the New York Penal Law, nor are the factual allegations against Defendants R.V. and J.O. particularly serious in nature."
"Moreover, the factual allegations — that the Defendants purchased fake COVID-19 vaccination cards so that they could provide same to their employer (R.V.) and school (J.O.) — do not rise to the level of the majority of the crimes adjudicated in Supreme Court, New York County, namely homicide, sexual assault, drug sale, robbery, burglary, and other violent and non-violent serious felony offenses," Lantry continued.

Let me help you, since it seems quite a complex calculation for you. 0. The answer would be 0. As they are inadmissible. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Liar. We have ran out liars here and you are still here.

IjeBos: Are you still having a hard time with the laws that Trump used and the stats that showed that he ended illegal immigration. Well, of course I already knew the answer. The stats don't show that. And the laws weren't there so he did some by Exectuvice Orders, some that were found illegal by courts. And he also used a Public Health Emergency action due to covid to shut down the border (Title 42). And some say that he used it not in the means it was intended. I thought of this post when I saw Crenshaw's tweet. As you know Crenshaw is a very conservative Republican House member. From my brainwashing sites vs yours. Title 42 was a covid law. Biden allowed it to lapse. No laws broken. Remain in Mexico policies. Biden revoked it. When Trump was POTUS massive caravan were organised by NGOs and non profits. This led to a surge of border interactions. The media blitz showed women and children mostly ignoring then military aged men fleeing persecution from nations never at war. They showed cages where children were held separated from their parents with AOC shedding tears peering into chicken wire fencing.A stage managed scene. They cried about cages ignoring Obama had built them

IjeBos: This is a more detailed synopsis of the bill. I initially posted the Fox News version as I assumed, their write up would be the most unfavorable to the bill. https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/emergency_national_security_supplemental_section-by-section.pdf
Below is the definition of encounters. It ecompasses both Apprehensions and Expulsions. So theoretically, the border agents could expel 5000 immigrants (none meet the qualifications for asylum) in a day and it would trigger the closure of t he border and also stop anyone from claiming asylum who is caught illegally entering the US not at the borders. That with the enhanced screening and new rules as to who is not permitted from claiming asylum (1 being if you could have claimed asylum in a country you crossed before coming into the US), again I think it's a tough bill. Very clever way of lying. It's not about expelling 5000 a day. It's about stopping the 5001th one from claiming assylum that day. The 5001th one and the rest wait outside the border till the following day 5000 granted entry with no repatriation a day means 1.5m illegals allowed in per year. |

The bill is a useless bill, it only encourages more people to the border. I've asked here why they need more people, ie why do democrats always push for more illegal immigrants? One congressman recently said that it's because census counts everyone, and congressional districts are based on whole total population, not just citizens. |

IjeBos: This is a Fox News Reporter's take on the new immigration bill that should be up for vote in the Senate soon. From this take it's a tough bill. I think it significantly changes how asylum has been done making it much harder to get, harder to claim and even when it is claimed reducing the processing time from years to 90 days. It makes it a less opportunistic way of entering the country and seems to get rid of some of the abuse we've been seeing. So 5000 new illegals every day are welcome. What's do good about that. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), expressed his opinion of the bill in a more colorful way, “This bill is the worst screwing in the Senate since that Dem staffer filmed his |

JessicaRabbit: LOL. I'm sorry, are you here for a debate or a remedial class? Had you bothered to acquaint yourself with even the most rudimentary legal terminology, perhaps your arguments wouldn't have resembled a toddler's first attempt at finger painting. Rape is a specific type of sexual abuse, but not the only one. Sexual abuse can include any unwanted sexual contact, such as groping, handling, kissing, or penetrating. The jury said Trump did that to Carroll, which means he violated her bodily autonomy and consent. Who cares if he raped her or not? That's not what they were asked to decide.
Questioning Carroll's credibility based on her personal life is a classic ad hominem fallacy -- attacking the person instead of the argument. Carroll's personal life has nothing to do with her argument. That's like saying you can't trust a chef because he likes pizza. Who cares if she hasn't slept with anyone else since Trump? Does that make her story less true? And why do you think women always get emotional about sex? Are you saying women are crazy and men are smart? That's a load of baloney, and you know it. And your allegations against Judge Kaplan remain unfounded. He has a reputation for being a fair and impartial jurist, who has handled many major cases such as:
(1) The trial of Osama bin Laden's son-in-law
(2) The extradition of a Mexican drug lord
(3) The fraud case against Exxon Mobil.
You have no credible evidence that he is a political hack, nor a Trump hater. The only thing we've continuously established in this discussion is that you have ZERO proof for your nonsense. You just fling shit constantly at the wall and hope that it sticks. Kaplan is a top-notch judge, who did his job by the book and the facts.
It's not my fault that you're wantonly ignorant of the law to the point where you don't even understand legal definitions and terms. You have no clue about the difference between criminal and civil cases, or the level of proof needed for each. You also have no idea what battery and defamation mean, or how they relate to Carroll's case. And you're the one who's dodging the evidence, trying to divert attention from the fact that Trump was busted for sexually abusing and slandering Carroll. Calling the Trump v Carroll case a sham is just you throwing irrelevant tantrums over the results. In the real world, it's a historic win for survivors of sexual abuse. Carroll is one of the many women who have courageously spoken up about being attacked by Trump. She is also one of the few who have taken him to court and won, and she has proven that no one is above the law, not even the ex-president.
You have failed to demonstrate any intellectual or political acumen, any wit or style, or any decency or civility. You have failed, miserably and completely. And that, my friend, is the true tea! Correct me on this and don't spring out your lies. She met Donald at the entrance She was happy to assist him buy lingerie for a woman. They walked into 6th floor section , picked out some kinky stuff. She asked him jokingly to try it on. All the same she walked into a changing room to try it on. Trump followed her, closed the door and inserted his fingers in her vagina. Then he dropped his pants and inserted his dick. She can't remember whether it went in half way or full. She walked out after the act and never told anyone.She never wore that dress again. She does not remember the year that happened. She said in court that Donald destroyed her love life And has never been with another man since 25 years later. Questions. The jury found he sexually violated her but did not rape her. The judge in the courtroom told Trump that he inserted his fingers in her vagina. How did the jury arrive at the conclusion that he was liable for sexual violation but NOT rape?They talked to a fly that was on the wall? |

basilico: "His Airness" six NBA teams title winning sneakers Sold for a record $8m in a Sotheby auction. Darn you Americans have cash to burn.
CNN ^ | Updated 9:46 AM EST, Sat February 3 2024 Basketball legend Michael Jordan won six NBA championships during his prolific sporting career – and a set of the six sneakers he worewhen clinching those titles has sold for a record-breaking $8 million at auction.
Friday’s winning bid for “The Dynasty Collection” reached $8,032,800, setting a new global auction record for game-worn sneakers, according to auction house Sotheby’s.
The set consisted of Air Jordan VI (1991), Air Jordan VII (1992), Air Jordan VIII (1993), Air Jordan XI (1996), Air Jordan XII (1997), and Air Jordan XIV (1998). Why I brought brought this up . Brand valuation. From the minute Letitia James brought up the inflating assets case vs Trump I have repeatedly stated that Trump name is a brand And one day will be priceless. Noone has given me the worth of the brand. I asked how much Eiffel Tower is valued, crickets I got because it's construction cost is in the €70-80m range but it's valued at over €300B. I think I also asked how much the $20 dollar gloves Michael Jackson wore were worth. I went on a tirade about valuation and I think Ibime hit out saying it's voodoo economics or something like that. Actually I asked which Bugatti would sell more , Samuel Eto's or Christian Ronaldo. Back to dish washer sized nipples owner Letitia ( I borrowed this quote from reddit) . One example Mar a Lago she put it at $18m whereas villas in that area can go 5 times higher. Mar a Lago can be priceless. In just this valuation Letitia failed, and the case should be thrown out. She used a brick $ mortar valuation and annual revenue to fool dimwits into thinking the case ha a there there. The brand-name associated with Mar a Lago gives it a value, not the site acquisition and construction cost. Ditto all property valuations owned by Trump that she listed in court. @jessicarabbit Letitia James case is just a witch-hunt . One of your many pathological lies debunked. That's why $3000 dollar sneakers were snapped up for $8m. It's the brand.Stupid. Note Trump does not own all properties branded with his names. He lenda out his name and gets paid. Trump as a name is a brand . |

JessicaRabbit: Phew! you really scraped the bottom of the barrel to find a source that backs up your fantasy that Carroll and Reade were plotting against Biden. The link you shared is from Townhall, a website that makes Fox News look like the BBC. The article you cited is based on a chopped-up video clip from a documentary called "The Hunting of Biden", which was made by a Trump fanboy who has already been busted for lying and twisting facts. The clip shows Carroll and Reade chatting like old pals, but it does not show any confession from Carroll that she only supported Blasey Ford to save abortion rights. Actually, Carroll has said that she trusts both Reade and Blasey Ford, and that she stands
with women who speak up about sexual assault. I get that you have a hard time accepting reality, but please, get a grip.
And don't you have any shame repeating a lie that Carroll was wearing a dress from the future when she was attacked? This lie was first cooked up by Trump's lawyer, Boris Epshteyn, who said that the dress was not made by Donna Karan until years after 1994, but it was busted by many sources, including Donna Karan herself, who said that the dress was from her 1993 collection. Carroll also showed a photo of herself in the dress in 1993, and a receipt from Bergdorf Goodman, the store where she got the dress and where the assault happened. Do you really think Carroll was celibate for decades because Trump supposedly raped her? That's a ridiculous and offensive assumption. Carroll never claimed that she stopped having sex or dating after the alleged attack, or that it ruined her love life. She said that she didn't tell anyone or report it to the cops, because she was scared of Trump's revenge and felt guilty for what happened. She also said that she finally spoke up in 2019, when she saw Trump lie about the other women who accused him of sexual abuse. As for Blasey Ford, did you skip the part where she swore under oath in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2018, and gave reliable and consistent details of her accusation? She also aced a lie detector test and had backup evidence from her therapist and her hubby. You have ABSOLUTELY ZERO proof that she was driven by politics rather than civic duty and personal trauma. She said that she had to come forward after finding out that Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court, and that she worried about the consequences of his confirmation for women and girls. She also said that she suffered from anxiety, depression, and PTSD because of the assault, and that she had to move and hire bodyguards because of the threats and harassment she faced after going public. Your arguments are as empty as a vacuum, and it shows. But please, don't let me stop your game of make-believe. I'm actually having fun exposing your silly claims.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/townhall/ You are such a liar. Everything above is a complete lie. Townhall is a reputable source that leftie fact checkers don't like and smears it at every opportunity. Your stories are complete lies. You can't post your sources because they are all Twitter . Nairaland removes Twitter amd *tt.co* short links ( omit the first t - To see the short link) hence you are unable to show your sources. Let's start with this and her attorney. Where was NYT fat checker mentioned here debunked if not in your mind orvtwitter links? ‘Monica Lewinsky-type’ dress.”
“She originally claimed that the ‘event’ happened in 1994, and that she wore the Donna Karan dress on that day. The problem is that New York Times Fact Checkers found the dress wasn’t even made by Donna Karan until long after 1994,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Lies upon lies from you. You said Trump refused to offer his DNA to Jean Carroll. I would also refuse because it's easy to plant DNA on another surface.. You can't have someone accuse you vaguely then demand your DNA as prrof. A strand has enough DNA . I will debunk your Twitter sourced lies in the course of the day. Starting with your DNA lies it's the Judge refused Trump's offer of DNA later , wonder why?

JessicaRabbit: You seem to be confused about the difference between criminal and civil cases.
In a criminal case, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed a crime. In a civil case, the plaintiff has to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant caused harm or violated a right. The burden of proof is lower in civil cases than in criminal cases.
E. Jean Carroll filed a civil lawsuit against Trump for battery and defamation. Battery is the intentional and harmful or offensive contact with another person without consent. Defamation is the false and injurious statement that damages someone's reputation. To prove battery, Carroll had to show that Trump sexually abused her, which the jury found that she did. To prove defamation, Carroll had to show that Trump made false and malicious statements about her, which the jury also found that he did.
The jury did not find that Trump raped Carroll, because that was not the question they had to answer. Rape is a criminal offense, not a civil one. Carroll did not sue Trump for rape, nor did she press criminal charges against him. She sued him for battery, which is a broader term that includes rape as well as other forms of sexual abuse. The jury verdict form clearly states that the jury had to decide whether Carroll proved that Trump sexually abused her, not whether he raped her.
Therefore, your argument is based on a false premise.
Trump denying her claim is defamation because he lied about what happened and harmed her reputation. He did not just say that he did not rape her, he called her a liar, a loser, and not his type. He also implied that she made up the story to sell her book and that she was working with the Democratic Party to smear him. These are not opinions or expressions of free speech, these are factual assertions that can be proven or disproven. And the jury found that they were false and malicious.
You should check the facts before you make such baseless claims. Otherwise, you might end up like Trump, who is now facing an $83 million bill for his defamation and battery of E. Jean Carroll. That's a lot of money for someone who is not his type 🤡. You are trying to lead me into a rabbit hole. Trump witch- hunt cases are not going as per plan. Chutkan DC case is off the court calender. Fani Willis extra maritals are a huge dent in the case ( by the way is she under blackmail eg FBI has her nudes?) . Alvin Bragg case is (mis)interpretation of the law and plain witch-hunt. Florida cases, that judge is not in the get Trump by all means train, Jackboot needs solid evidence and be free of bias. I think he implied Mar a Lago has secret rooms they didn't search.. Another raid? Who knows? My opinion . These cases are going nowhere and democrat options to stop Trump are running out. Enter Judge Kaplan, who let a paedo go, while listening to a crazy sex starved sicko. Judge Engoron, he may have their best and final chance of delivering the killer blow to Trump chances , he has moved the verdict to mid Feb possibly on revelations of some obscure Chicago loan Trump took out. |

budaatum: Fani Willis admits relationship with prosecutor on Trump Georgia case
https://wapo.st/3UqCHCl I don't read that rubbish lying crappy wapo. Come to my rescue on this? Has wapo included this info? relating to allegations that her office misused a $488,000 federal grant.
The subpoena on Friday follows a report this week by the Washington Free Beacon citing claims that Fani Willis fired a whistleblower who tried to stop an aide from misusing a grant targeted at youth empowerment and gang prevention.
Lawyers amuse me. She has filed a 176 page response to the Judge who wants an evidentiary hearing. Translation.She don't want to testify. It hit me that Trump and Co can demand her emails, texts, medicals, etc in oder to determine she is of sound mind and not under blackmail. |

bemeruca: You can't correct someone when you have no clue of what you are saying.
This is your words:
There is a reason you avoided my questions. Go back and answer them so you can expose yourself.
Legal Immigration: Definition: Legal immigration refers to the process of moving to another country with the right documentation and clearance. Status: Legal immigrants are foreign-born individuals legally admitted to the U.S. Authorization: They have obtained a valid visa, been granted asylum, or have been granted citizenship. Rights and Benefits: Legal immigrants can vote. They are eligible for social services from federally funded programs. They can receive social security benefits. They can hold United States passports. Process: Legal immigration involves following established procedures and meeting eligibility criteria.
Illegal Immigration: Definition: Illegal immigration occurs when someone enters a country without permission or overstays their visa. Status: Undocumented immigrants, also called illegal aliens, fall into this category. Authorization: They do not possess a valid visa or other immigration documentation. Rights and Benefits: Illegal immigrants cannot vote. They are ineligible for most social services from federally funded programs. They cannot receive social security benefits. They cannot hold United States passports. Consequences: Someone who enters the country illegally is subject to detainment and deportation at any time. Legal immigrants can also face removal if they commit and are convicted of a crime. However, unless an undocumented immigrant has committed a crime and been convicted, they may not be immediately detained or removed from the U.S. In summary, legal immigrants follow established procedures and have rights and benefits, while undocumented immigrants lack legal status and face limitations on their rights and access to service
If someone enters the U.S. either legally or illegally, they can apply for asylum affirmatively. Affirmative process involves submitting Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, directly to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS conducts a non-adversarial affirmative asylum interview with the applicant. If an individual is subject to expedited removal and found to have a credible fear of persecution or torture, the written record of this determination serves as their asylum application. If USCIS does not grant asylum during the affirmative process, the individual may be placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge. Result: Applying for asylum affirmatively does not automatically make someone a legal immigrant. Their status depends on the outcome of the asylum process. Defensive Asylum Process:
Defensive process comes into play when an individual is already in removal proceedings. Reasons for being in removal proceedings include: Not being granted asylum during the affirmative process. Being placed in removal proceedings by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for immigration violations. Being subject to expedited removal and issued a Notice to Appear. In defensive asylum, the case is heard by an immigration judge in the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). If an individual was referred to EOIR by USCIS, their asylum application on file with USCIS carries over to the immigration judge. If there is no asylum application on file with USCIS, the individual must submit Form I-589 to the immigration judge. Result: The outcome of the defensive process determines their legal status. Rejected Asylum Claim:
If an asylum claim is rejected, the individual does not automatically become a legal immigrant. They may be subject to removal orders if their asylum application is denied. However, some individuals may choose to disappear within the country, which can lead to undocumented status. Result: Rejected asylum does not confer legal immigration status, but it does impact their ability to remain in the U.S.
To summarize this part, applying for asylum does not automatically grant legal immigrant status. The outcome of the asylum process determines an individual’s legal standing in the U.S. Ijebos can't stand the fact that he is a Nigerian like us 'n that can't be changed. He can't stand that it's possible you could one day be eligible to vote in America like him . |

JessicaRabbit: You seem to be confused about the difference between criminal and civil cases.
In a criminal case, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed a crime. In a civil case, the plaintiff has to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant caused harm or violated a right. The burden of proof is lower in civil cases than in criminal cases.
E. Jean Carroll filed a civil lawsuit against Trump for battery and defamation. Battery is the intentional and harmful or offensive contact with another person without consent. Defamation is the false and injurious statement that damages someone's reputation. To prove battery, Carroll had to show that Trump sexually abused her, which the jury found that she did. To prove defamation, Carroll had to show that Trump made false and malicious statements about her, which the jury also found that he did.
The jury did not find that Trump raped Carroll, because that was not the question they had to answer. Rape is a criminal offense, not a civil one. Carroll did not sue Trump for rape, nor did she press criminal charges against him. She sued him for battery, which is a broader term that includes rape as well as other forms of sexual abuse. The jury verdict form clearly states that the jury had to decide whether Carroll proved that Trump sexually abused her, not whether he raped her.
Therefore, your argument is based on a false premise.
Trump denying her claim is defamation because he lied about what happened and harmed her reputation. He did not just say that he did not rape her, he called her a liar, a loser, and not his type. He also implied that she made up the story to sell her book and that she was working with the Democratic Party to smear him. These are not opinions or expressions of free speech, these are factual assertions that can be proven or disproven. And the jury found that they were false and malicious.
You should check the facts before you make such baseless claims. Otherwise, you might end up like Trump, who is now facing an $83 million bill for his defamation and battery of E. Jean Carroll. That's a lot of money for someone who is not his type 🤡. Circling round the proof . Caroll said she has never sleot with any other man since Donald raped her. I doubt one would forget the year you last got laid. And esp women who tend to insert feelings and emotions into romantic encounters. So how did jury find out she was NOT raped but was sexually violated? Same judge who oversaw the first biased trial was the same one who ruled Trump defamed her by denying he knew her. You waltzed in here from wherever with emotive SOB stories of how justice is fair,yet you have to twist legal definitions and terms to make this sham Trump case look solid. What an epic fail!!! |

IjeBos: You posted this example again like you are proud of it and as if it were somehow clever. I left you last time as it was so utterly stupid and so devoid of any understanding of how defamation works. So..
In your example who would be suing who for defamation? And what law would they be using to do so?
I find your continued arrogance in things you have 0 understanding of contemptible. I gave a hypothetical example, I clearly indicated that I had, you reminding me or what ? The ruling stinks to high heavens. Same judge let Prince Andrew walk but was all in to paint Trump in the worst light possible. If you are convinced the trial was not political and was fair, it's high tine you consult a shrink |

JessicaRabbit: Sorry child, but tax returns did not reveal that Hoffman and the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund were the major financial backers of E. Jean Carroll. They only showed that Hoffman's nonprofit, American Future Republic, gave a grant to the fund, which is one of the many donors who have contributed to the fund. The fund does not pay for Carroll's lawsuit, it only covers some of the expenses and fees that her lawyers incur while representing her pro bono. Carroll is not a beneficiary of the fund, she is a client of Roberta Kaplan, who is one of the many lawyers who have volunteered to take cases through the fund.
As for the video you linked to, it is a clip from an interview that Hoffman did with CNN in 2019, where he talks about his views on democracy, technology, and philanthropy. I've just skimmed through it and unless you can point it out for me, I don't see where he mentions Carroll or Trump at all, so I don't see how it is relevant to this debate. If you are trying to imply that Hoffman is somehow biased or dishonest, then you are barking up the wrong tree. Hoffman is a well-known and respected entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, who has supported various causes and organizations that promote social justice, civic engagement, and innovation. He is not a partisan hack or a puppet master, he is a good guy who cares about the future of this country and the world.
So, before you accuse me or anyone else of lying, maybe you should check your facts and sources. And maybe you should also focus on the real issue here, which is whether Trump raped Carroll in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, as she alleges in her book and her lawsuit. That is what the April 25 trial will be all about, not about who is funding whom or what Hoffman is saying in some random video. I hope you are ready to face the music, because I suspect it will be a long day for Trump and his supporters. Mr Molesters spokesperson. Here is a new one. Reid Hoffman wasi a buddy of Epstein He spent $2m on Joe Biden writein efforts in New Hampshire the other day. He is a major donor to democrats. Trump if he wins might have the Epstein cases scrutinized. This judge has handled a previous Epstein case, with more evidence than this sham Caroll case. He WAS ALSO the judge for the Virginia Giuffre v. Prince Andrew case that he DISMISSED with no jury trial!! That’s right… Andrew was accused of raping a 17 year old over and over and it goes away with a “settlement” But Trump gets slapped with an outlandish amount for saying the CRAZY BlTCH is lying!! Oh ya, and he was appointed by Bill Clinton You seriously can’t make this SHlT up!!!,’ said Salty Goat.
