#NY #Judge found #Trump (& family) guilty of fraud and ordered the cancellation of Trump's businesses certificates
Damage will be established inOct. 2 trial
Judge also sanctioned the defendants' lawyers for making 'preposterous' legal arguments.
It was not difficult for the Judge to reach the conclusion
it wasn't a 'hidden' scam
Trump did often brag about it
everyone knew (banks too)
now
This is my question:
Why has the #IRS for years turned a blind eye ?
who was paid to 'not see' ?

"Judge rules Donald Trump defrauded banks, insurers while building real estate empire"
https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-letitia-james-fraud-lawsuit-1569245a9284427117b8d3ba5da74249
"Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, found that Trump and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans. Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded..."
Check out at least the 1st 6 minutes of the video, when the news broke. Per Judge Engoron, "Any certificate filed under any NY general business law of any entity of the defendant [Trump] is hereby cancelled."
[Per the Associated Press, this is "making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he [Engoron] would continue to have an independent monitor oversee Trump Organization operations."]

WOMP WOMP
How big of a womp?
After this Summary Judgment, on a planet called Tatooine in the Outer Rim Territories, 250 million womp rats were just conceived. They will be born and grow. Some of them will be used for target practice by a young Luke in Beggar's Canyon, honing his skills. And then someday, those skills will be used to destroy the Death Star.
That big.

Letitia James' case goes forward Monday but the issue of fraud is settled. He defrauded NY. He is a fraud. He ran for POTUS as a fraud. He sat in the White House as a fraud. All of the people interacting with him in business interact with a fraud. He is not a businessman. He is a conman. He is as fake as a three dollar bill. The entire Republican party backs a fraudster. His business empire begins to burn. How will he repay Russians he owes now? #MSNBC Donald Trump's #NY businesses are no more.
Woo Hoo!

One More Curtain Call for Daniel Murphy
By Jay Horwitz | Sep, 2023 | Mets Insider Blog https://metsinsider.mlblogs.com/one-more-curtain-call-for-daniel-murphy-4f1962a68db2
"Judge peppers lawyers in prelude to trial of New York’s business fraud lawsuit against Trump"
https://apnews.com/article/trump-james-new-york-investment-fraud-ff102cde324ca748ed83dd0e66de28a0
" A New York judge peppered Donald Trump’s lawyers with questions Friday — sometimes admonishing them — as they tried to persuade the court to throw out a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general accusing the former president and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by exaggerating his wealth."
The top prosecutors on the 4 #criminal cases against #Trump — 2 by the #DOJ & 1 each in #Georgia & #NY — now require round-the-clock #protection.
As the prosecutions… have accelerated, so too have #threats against #law enforcement, #judges, elected ofcls & others. The threats, in turn, are prompting…a #legal effort to curb his #angry & sometimes #incendiary public stmnts, & renewed concern about the potential for an election campaign in which Trump promised “#retribution” to produce #violence.

President #Biden randomly showed up for dinner w/ Dr. Jill Biden & daughter Ashley at a #NYC restaurant.
As #POTUS, #FLOTUS, & Ashley got up to leave, the restaurant’s patrons got up out of their seats & gave them a roaring standing ovation. The ovation even spilled out onto the street, & per reporters “people even cheered from apartment buildings.”
(#Trump is from #NY, but whenever he visits, justifiably angry #NewYorkers condemn him wherever he goes.)
The people of #NewYork know what’s what
Their ire was sharply directed at President #Biden, who is expected to arrive in #NY Sunday night for several fund-raisers this week & to speak before the #UnitedNations General Assembly session that begins Tues.
“Biden, you should be scared of us,” Emma Buretta, 17, a NYC HS student & an organizer w/the Fridays for Future movement, shouted at a rally ahead of the march. “If you want our #vote, if you don’t want the blood of our generations to be on your hands, end #FossilFuels.”

Had a wonderful outing in Manhattan with Jayden. We walked a lot, took a nap in Central Park, and visited & ate dinner at The Met. Pretty expensive drinks, but they were VERY strong.
Yesterday Jayden and I took a few moments to check out the Egyptian obelisk in Central Park. The contrast of a 3,500 y/o structure against the NY cityscape is striking and beautiful.

QUESTION for #FediMed #FediLaw here in #NY, #NYS or #USA:
what's the scam going on with in-hospital services?
my MD had me use a radiology group within my ins. network but outside of the hospital he is bound to. they have been great.
now that i have had to see a specialist within his hospital, it's been fucking hell. i personally have taken all the reports & CDs TWICE.
it's been almost 4 MONTHS of this delay tactic in what looks like they labs are trying to force a redo.

I've been working with her & a dog trainer and I am very optimistic she's going to get more comfortable and sure of herself. She's responded really well to clicker training, and she's very food motivated!
I am willing to drive ANYWHERE in New England to help find a good home for her (hey, I offered to drive 1/2-way across the US to get our other dog back to her old person in CA!).

She is a darling wire-haired terrier/dachshund cross. She's incredibly sweet with us and very attached and affectionate (really, she's like a cat sometimes), but she is quite nervous and anxious around new people, even ones she has met several times.

Here is a library guide to the individual entries, one for each state, and generally another for major metro areas (i.e. you'll see a #NY state and a #NYC entry).

It is incredible how much we are in all this already, and yet most people not directly affected are oblivious.

If you are in #NY or following flooding in #NYwx, follow @iembot_okx for all the latest flood warnings. Due to the birdsite API changes, the normal NWS bots are limited to only their weather graphics.
Speaking of whining: try asking a #yeshiva to meet basic standards for #teaching #math, #English, and #science.
They'll whine about "religious freedom". #ReligiousFreedom is not implicated here: teach whatever you want, as long as you also teach math, science, #history. (If anything, forbearance would offend religious freedom by privileging religion over all other compelling state interests, a violation of the #EstablishmentClause.)
They'll whine that those subjects are adequately addressed in their #Jewish studies. Nonsense. Kids graduating these "#schools" have been shown to be severely deficient in English and other subjects.
The schools and their supporters are lying; and what's more: they know it.
