And did you hear what their defense was? "All the other real estate kids in New York lie about their values too!" hahaha I once tried that with a state cop who pulled me over for speeding, and it didn't work then, either.
I need a new word for the utter joy and elation I am feeling right now. "Uberschadenfreude" is a start, but barely touches my glee...
I'm hoping that Atty. James will strongly recommend taking the Chicago property. I am sick of seeing that jackass' name above the river. My hairdresser used to work in the building next door and whenever I would go for my appointments, I would give the one-finger salute to the building.
It’s a blight on the beautiful Chicago skyline, and it is in violation of environmental laws and national permits. Every time I’m on on the RiverWalk, I give it the finger.

minor point: there is no jury in this case. Trump opted for a bench trial. Really really dumb when in fact you did what you were accused of and there is evidence to show you did and NO evidence to show you didn't. That's when summary judgment happens, whether in jury trial or bench trial. But it's faster when the judge himself is the trier of fact.
Trump's "I paid it back" is irrelevant because he USED the loans to make money. That is what will be disgorged.
it wasn't until about five minutes AFTER I posted this that I learned that Trump had asked for a bench trial. oh my god, he's so fucking stupid. anyway, if I had known, I would have worked it into today's piece.
OH MY GOD, it's even worse than we thought. the reason Trump is getting a bench trial is because Alina Habba — the literal parking garage lawyer — FORGOT TO FILE PAPERWORK ASKING FOR A JURY TRIAL. holy shit. https://twitter.com/MeidasTouch/status/1708867062217720007
That is great!! So she gave Trump a box of nails and a hammer for the coffin she set up for him. And this judge has made clear as day what he thinks of this whole thing.
hey, but Alina Habba is probably either: a) willing to work for free (for the notoriety, haha), b) flattered him shamelessly, which is literally the way anyone can get him to do any fucking thing, if you tell him he's your hero and inspiration 🤢, or c) both.
If you have seen her talk about tfg on OAN, she is absolutely blinded with love and devotion. Thinks he is a very good person who cares about people. Just like the old ladies I overheard in the store the other day. Cult stuff.
To the lawyers out there: could this mistake by Habba set Trump up to later claim "ineffective assistance of counsel" and get a new trial? Asking for a friend.
OPPS! Just learned the "ineffective assistance of counsel" argument for a new trial only applies in criminal cases. This is a civil fraud suit. Trump has so many cases against him both civil and criminal, I need a spreadsheet to keep track. My bad.
Right. Was wondering if he already paid her off on the side to do this so he can later claim it was legal malpractice. And after that she'll be surprised when he throws her under the bus and/or sues her, as a last step before issuing thinly veiled death threats.
Yeah, she forgot to check a box. Dollar Store lawyers don't need to sweat details like that.
You could do a whole column on how a former president who even remotely might be maybe a little bit innocent would have decent, household-name lawyers stampeding to represent him, but instead they are staying away in droves. Maybe do a column on which mail order law schools and Bahama law schools all his lawyers went to.
"The proceedings paused for a lunch break shortly before 1 p.m. On his way out of the courtroom, Trump hovered right over James, who was still seated in the front row. Standing about a foot away from her, Trump leaned over and glared."
Can’t fix stupid! This fact is so fucking PERFECT I can’t stand it!!! The “genius” got played by his own counsel!! I bet you Michel Cohen would not have made that mistake…..just saying.
My fantasy: tfg can't keep his mouth shut in court today. As he is hollering 'Fake News!' the deputies are dragging him out of court. Am I a bad person?
Well, NO. But, if you are you are in good company and he did it to himself. We just had to endure and pray for this Justice day. “Let Freedom Ring”. Best to all. 🇺🇸 thank you Judge for doing your duty. Finally we can trust (you) and pray the others follow your leadership. Our Country has been in dire need of your commitment to TRUTH. 🇺🇸🙏🏻♥️
I just wonder, those deputies dragging him out, are they MAGA too? Or are they sane? Either way I hope they do their job and not give TFG ANY special treatment
MAGA doesn't understand that not all crimes are about violence and murder--we have regulations in place to safeguard the economy and what not. But these are the same folks who argue that trickle down economics works.
MAGA rubes are unreachable by facts, logic or proof. As Rick Wilson wrote today,
"You can’t change them. They aren’t conservatives. They’re not Republicans. They’re in a statist, authoritarian cult driven by racial animus, lurid conspiracy twaddle, and a corrupt media-entertainment outrage complex that has conditioned them to constant outrage with a steady drip of agitprop."
In a bench trial it’s probably not a good idea to attack the fucking judge...
“ Speaking to television cameras during the break, Mr. Trump calls for Justice Engoron to be disbarred. "This is a judge that should be out of office," he said.
"This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he's doing."
Something else I’m wondering about. I heard on the news this morning from a person who’s been following this Trump case, and has been in the courtroom every session.
The judge ruled in ONE count against him in this case. According to her, there are SIX (6) counts against Trump, his corporations, his sons and his daughter. And they’ve all been called as witnesses for the defense, AND prosecution.
She reported the judge still has to do the other five counts of fraud, and all against all of them.
There'll be another stick in his craw if he watched CNN's Jake Tapper show when Nancy Pelosi was interviewed. She said, "...It's such a fraud when they start the basis of this is spending. They gave a tax cut to the richest people in America, to the cost of 2 trillion dollars to our national debt when what's his name was president of the United States."
I live. You know that was on purpose, and I for one, am so here for it.
I hope he engorges masses amounts of ice cream, hamberders and aspartame loaded diet cokes, then disgorges all that shit while laying in a hospital bed paralyzed, but coherent, by a massive stroke.
He hasn't been coherent for years, so a stroke wouldn't help or hurt his coherence. But if he has one, he should remain sentient enough to contemplate how his chickens have come home to roost.
What I hope for is a single week during which we don't hear / read anything about their wretched name, see their crooked inbred pictures, or their treasonous activities before I croak.
When TFG said anyone who commits petty theft from a store “should be shot, SHOT!” to the cheering Magat crowd. They blindly don’t think of applying the same punishment to those that have stolen from banks, nonprofits, the government, subcontractors, lawyers, etc., through fraud or nonpayment. Will Magats cheer when their own children are shot dead for shoplifting? The just don’t think.
You can’t change them. They aren’t conservatives. They’re not Republicans. They’re in a statist, authoritarian cult driven by racial animus, lurid conspiracy twaddle, and a corrupt media-entertainment outrage complex that has conditioned them to constant outrage with a steady drip of agitprop.
I am delighted to think that Orange Pusball will come out of this with little left in his vast portfolio of garishness. Crime did pay for a while but Karma is coming to take it back. Boo fucking hoo indeed.
Ahhh....Letitia James is not fucking around...indeed! I'm giddy with your column today. And when he claims "no one was hurt", it points out what a fuck he really is. DAMN. I despise this nasty man and am looking forward to the prison bars clanging once and for all. THANK YOU JEFF!
That Rump will wear the barrel with leather straps to hold it up, for Tax invasion of IRS. Uncle Sam wants You to Pay your taxes Assine human. Does anyone recall the commercial? Ahahaha hahaha 🍻
Fuck, Yeah! How is Little Fuckface going to flee to Kaliningrad from his Scotland golf course without his 757? Putin might have to send a rubber raft of Spetsnaz to Maga Lardo to extricate him.
The SA-fucking-S would not put up with that. I'd love to see it happen, but it would totally take place without witnesses -- they'd just disappear, Spetznaz, raft, Trump & all.
Back in 2016, a few days after that horrible day when it was announced Donny Fuckface (Jeff...yet another perfect name) would be going to the Oval Office, my granddaughter and I arrived in Las Vegas to run the Rock ‘n Roll 1/2. As we were driving across the overpass near the Fuckface hotel I flipped it off and took a photo. My granddaugther said “way to go grandma”. That day I hoped like hell the day would come when DF’s name would be removed from every building bearing it and it looks like all these years later that might just become a reality. Hallelujah!
All one can do is smile after reading this piece. Hardly anything better than seeing the tangerine turd lose his ass for being a life long shyster. As much as this is great news, shouldn't there be real estate appraisers who also would've been part of this fraudulent shit show be held accountable as well?
What i also love about this is it disgorges his spawn of the money too-i really never want to deal with them in the future either. Now can they disgorge Jared of his ill-gotten Saudi money? Gotta hope there's an investigation on that. This is seeming to be a great day for once.
And did you hear what their defense was? "All the other real estate kids in New York lie about their values too!" hahaha I once tried that with a state cop who pulled me over for speeding, and it didn't work then, either.
I need a new word for the utter joy and elation I am feeling right now. "Uberschadenfreude" is a start, but barely touches my glee...
He's omnifucked.
maybe he can be Omnibused the hell out of the country.
LOL!!!
Omnifucked. So much cooler than uber or megafucked.
YS, I tried same in traffic court & the judge said he does not accept the lemming defense!! Uberschadenfreude is delicious...
I do like it.
Zippity Doo-Dah!
OMG, Yooper! I’m LMAO! If you only knew how many times I heard that in my 26 year career!
“Officer, everyone else speeds, I’m just trying to keep up!”
I font think so.....TICKET!!!
I know right, everyone else committing a crime is not a defense--its why whattaboutism can't and does not work.
I still remember:
ME: "But what about that guy who just apssed me before you pulled me over?"
COP: "Yeah, but you were speeding too, and you're the guy I pulled over."
Made sense. BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT GUY WHO JUST PASSED ME? (For all I know, I've been that guy 20 times over.)
I'm hoping that Atty. James will strongly recommend taking the Chicago property. I am sick of seeing that jackass' name above the river. My hairdresser used to work in the building next door and whenever I would go for my appointments, I would give the one-finger salute to the building.
It’s a blight on the beautiful Chicago skyline, and it is in violation of environmental laws and national permits. Every time I’m on on the RiverWalk, I give it the finger.
And oddly, it's not a bad looking building, unlike most of the rest of his crap.
Pretty sure there will be a parade and block party with champagne corks flying when those letters come down.
It just about ruined an otherwise enjoyable evening watching the light show by the river last summer.
I do wonder how far this will extend outside of New York's borders...

Excuse me while I die laughing.
I know, right?
Sublime!
Oh how we have waited for this!!!
And he looks like the junior moron he is in that photo!
Only the best people!!
Oh how this made my day!!
That is great!! So she gave Trump a box of nails and a hammer for the coffin she set up for him. And this judge has made clear as day what he thinks of this whole thing.
See? Maybe there is a god!
hey, but Alina Habba is probably either: a) willing to work for free (for the notoriety, haha), b) flattered him shamelessly, which is literally the way anyone can get him to do any fucking thing, if you tell him he's your hero and inspiration 🤢, or c) both.

Yeah, she forgot to check a box. Dollar Store lawyers don't need to sweat details like that.

I would’ve looked at him and just smiled. Knowing in the back of my mind that this jerk off is going to pay out his ass at the end of the day.
Can’t fix stupid! This fact is so fucking PERFECT I can’t stand it!!! The “genius” got played by his own counsel!! I bet you Michel Cohen would not have made that mistake…..just saying.
Alina Habba is incompetent?? No!
Yep--but hey, at least she's pretty!
Melania 2.0
Glad I am not the only one who noticed--she looks like a younger Melania.
-ish.
Pretty is, as pretty does.
Truth!
If it helps any, it will get worked into him even if you're not the one to do it. Guaranteed. ;)
It's like, "Your honor, yes I did rob the bank but they wouldn't give me the money so I left. No one was harmed so what's the big deal?"
My fantasy: tfg can't keep his mouth shut in court today. As he is hollering 'Fake News!' the deputies are dragging him out of court. Am I a bad person?
Nah, that fantasy has been endemic for a few years now! And I wanna see it live on video and getting millions of views on youtube.
Well, NO. But, if you are you are in good company and he did it to himself. We just had to endure and pray for this Justice day. “Let Freedom Ring”. Best to all. 🇺🇸 thank you Judge for doing your duty. Finally we can trust (you) and pray the others follow your leadership. Our Country has been in dire need of your commitment to TRUTH. 🇺🇸🙏🏻♥️
I just wonder, those deputies dragging him out, are they MAGA too? Or are they sane? Either way I hope they do their job and not give TFG ANY special treatment
Hell no! It’s good to have positive thoughts and dreams! Any psychologist will tell you that! Did you picture Frumpy
, 🍓💩🤡, eating a can of cold soup someone gave him while he, and his family were panhandling?
Bad to the bone. In the best way.
MAGA doesn't understand that not all crimes are about violence and murder--we have regulations in place to safeguard the economy and what not. But these are the same folks who argue that trickle down economics works.
Yellow liquid trickling down on their heads.
and we all know where "THAT" is coming from.
MAGA rubes are unreachable by facts, logic or proof. As Rick Wilson wrote today,

Perfectly stated!

"This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he's doing."
"Some people"?
The same "Some people" that Bill "$44 million to pay off sexual assault claims" O'Reilly was always talking about?
“Some people” and “many people” are all in the Trump lexicon of code talk
Indeed, this individual literally has your lifeblood in their hands. Trump lacks both impulse control and common sense.
Something else I’m wondering about. I heard on the news this morning from a person who’s been following this Trump case, and has been in the courtroom every session.

Daniel I am so here for it, I am so ready for Karma to bite that evil man and his cult in the tookus!
Oh, my, my, Alicia. When did we start calling that portion of the anatomy a “tookus”? That’s a new one on this old man!
Before 1960, that's for sure.
I missed that one, apparently. I was just getting into my teens early 60s.
Could be a southern thang, but I have heard it before and I always found it funny, lol!
There'll be another stick in his craw if he watched CNN's Jake Tapper show when Nancy Pelosi was interviewed. She said, "...It's such a fraud when they start the basis of this is spending.

Oh, damn. I missed that interview. I must find it. I love Nancy...she's one smart, fearless woman.
the part I quoted is at 9:47 in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20jM3Gjmk1g
Thank You! Officially changing TFG to WHN--:):):)
Thanks so much!!
I wish I could have seen that. She’s to the point she refuses to acknowledge the scum. Now it’s just “what’s his name.....”
He engorged now he will be forced to disgorge. Perfect words to described this greedy bastard-who-would-be-king.
When I think of "engorged", I think of ticks. Granted, this is still a parasite, sooooo...
You think of tics, I think of dicks. That says something about me but I don’t know what.
A lot of them are parasitic too!
RIP your inbox
Lesley, you better not let Frumpy know thus. He’s liable to think he can come grab you in your juice!
I hope he engorges masses amounts of ice cream, hamberders and aspartame loaded diet cokes, then disgorges all that shit while laying in a hospital bed paralyzed, but coherent, by a massive stroke.
He hasn't been coherent for years, so a stroke wouldn't help or hurt his coherence. But if he has one, he should remain sentient enough to contemplate how his chickens have come home to roost.
He better have Part C since there will be no money left for his private health insurance
Parts A, B, C, D, and Medicare. He’s going to be so broke he won’t be able to afford his cheap suits and ridiculous red tie hanging to his knees!
I want to see him, and every member of his family on the damn street panhandling! They deserve to see how our side of his nose lives!
What I hope for is a single week during which we don't hear / read anything about their wretched name, see their crooked inbred pictures, or their treasonous activities before I croak.
1 week, 7 days of normal.
I fully agree, Doc! But, I’m 71, and for the last 50+ years, I’ve been trying to define “normal”. I have yet to figure that out.
It seems we rid ourselves of one issue, and another just takes its place.
Better yet, laying in a steel bunk in a jail cell.

Disgorge beats the hell out of the meaningless little fines usually given to corporations.
I agree. Disgorgement has teeth in it, and does provide corporations reasons why not to commit crimes, where meaningless fines do not.
Yes!!!

Speaking of, where is IRS in this? Why has there been NOTHING during all these years?
Fuck, Yeah! How is Little Fuckface going to flee to Kaliningrad from his Scotland golf course without his 757? Putin might have to send a rubber raft of Spetsnaz to Maga Lardo to extricate him.
And if they take his plane how's he gonna get around to his stupid rallies, by bus? That I'd love to see.
GREYHOUND, and he can sit in the back next to the terlit.
Golf cart.
🤣
And has anybody checked his loan portfolio from Deutsche Bank?
Whatever happened to his Business Advisors ? Are they still alive? Just an afterthought, or are they now living in St Petersburg.
Hard to say, but some of the oligarchs recently have been thrown 0out of high rise windows and their money disgorged to Putin.
Some Some you say?
I have been following this Developing Story for a while now, like if the US had that many billionaires falling out of windows......
A portent of the future, lol
Uh huh SK
ROTFLMAO!!!
Ahahaha hahaha 🍻
Deutsche Bank is on the alternate /rebuttal witness list. Several people from there.
We shall see, time will tell
I'm guessing North Korea. Sometime in the next ten months.
Or a rubber raft from Scotland but that would put them up against the SAS.
The SA-fucking-S would not put up with that. I'd love to see it happen, but it would totally take place without witnesses -- they'd just disappear, Spetznaz, raft, Trump & all.
Fucking A!
I wonder if Saudi Arabia is a possibility?
I considered that but I don't think it is willing to completely alienate its strongest ally.
I woulda guessed Saudi Arabia...but I'd rather Putin take him just in case there's a cup of tea or a nearby window waiting.....
Yep. My guess is Saudi Arabia.
OMG! I love this!
"Maga Lardo ".
Instant classic!!! OMG that's first-rate ridicule right there.
Keep everybody smirking. You've certainly earned my continued support.
Damn, what a world.
I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.
Congratulations, you won the Internet post of the day!
woohoo! lol
I put your "disgorged to pukin" as my #1 for the day!
You're in good form today, Jeff. What a delightful read.
Back in 2016, a few days after that horrible day when it was announced Donny Fuckface (Jeff...yet another perfect name) would be going to the Oval Office, my granddaughter and I arrived in Las Vegas to run the Rock ‘n Roll 1/2. As we were driving across the overpass near the Fuckface hotel I flipped it off and took a photo. My granddaugther said “way to go grandma”. That day I hoped like hell the day would come when DF’s name would be removed from every building bearing it and it looks like all these years later that might just become a reality. Hallelujah!
This is the best news I’ve heard in a while! Karma’s a bitch bro. 💩🤡
