However he's still a billionaire...

Still at stage 4 I see.

I'd have to be emotionally wrapped up in Trump, like you are, to be experiencing any stages.

May we dispense with the ad hominems now?

 

[ozso]

The depravity of Trump supporters knows no bounds.

Charming.

Good to know that you don't think any of the multiple charges against him are politically motivated.

Still making it about me eh?

The forum is all about us. And our opinions. If I'm discussing your position with you, who else might it be about?

And you've made excuses for Trumps behavior but it is genuinely a good thing you don't think his court cases are somehow politically motivated.

Likewise it's genuinely a good thing you don't think impeachment proceedings against Biden are somehow politically motivated.

I'll add that if it is politically motivated, it's backfiring stupendously.

I'm basing what your position appears to be on the comments that you've made. Where have I said anything that would bring you to that conclusion above?

The matter is whether you think it's politically motivated. And you obviously don't.

I'll grant you that. I'll also grant you that indicting Trump for any criminal charges won't actually prevent him from running for president, or serving if he's elected even while incarcerated.

So, that said...why would anyone think Trump's indictments are politically motivated?

-- A2SG, and why should we take anyone who thinks they are seriously?

It's a matter of you playing another tedious thread derailing game of cat and mouse.

Well, someone said that they'd have to be emotionally involved with Trump to experience any of the stages I mentioned. One of which was believing that the charges he's experiencing are politically motivated. I guess they were saying that they weren't. Emotionally involved that is. And yeah, it was you who said it. So therefore...

If you'd like to change your position, then...feel free.

That was a play on words as in the five stages of grief which went over your head, rather than that convoluted mishmash you came up with. I should have known better.

NYC Fraud @ 370 million (not yet final)
+ Carroll Defamation @ 83.3m
+ Carrol Defamation @ 5m

~ 460m in fines
Thanks to the beauty of leverage, this all may actually bury him.

Not really, I suspect it will be a great opportunity for him to file his 7th bankruptcy.

 

[Bradskii]

That was a play on words..

What was a play on words? Are you not emotionally attached to Trump? We could use some clarification.

 

[Bradskii]

I have been led to belive that if your assets are greater than, in this case your financial punishment, then you can't. Giuliani could. Trump can't.

I may be corrected on that by someone with more financial acuity than I have.

Except this is a suit against him personally, not his corporation.

NEW YORK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Donald Trump was handed a stinging defeat on Friday by a Manhattan jury that ordered him to pay $83.3 million to the writer E. Jean Carroll, who said he destroyed her reputation as a trustworthy journalist by denying he raped her.
Jurors needed less than three hours to reach a verdict in Manhattan federal court following a five-day trial. The sum that the former U.S. president was ordered to pay far exceeded the minimum $10 million that Carroll had sought.

Mr Trump could have saved $73 million by simply not continuing to defame a person he had been found guilty of defaming. Is someone with this poor insight lack of long term thinking fit to be in charge of the arsenal of the most powerful military on Earth?

No
