You are a fountain of fascist knowledge Cliff, even without trying. Fascist. There. All better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Niederhut Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Is it possible to wait 24 hours before deleting salient memes and cartoons around here? 🤥 They use up a lot of digital storage space, but some pictures are worth a thousand words.

Chuck Schwartz Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Congressman Schiff said Trump could face criminal charges after he leaves the oval office. He has had problems with the law prior to his political career.... A federal judge in the Southern District of California on Monday finalized a $25 million settlement to be paid to attendees of the now-defunct real estate seminar called Trump University. Judge Gonzalo Curiel's decision came after an appeals court rejected arguments from a Florida woman who attended Trump University and said she wanted to pursue a separate lawsuit. New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman called the settlement a victory for Trump U. "victims." "Judge Curiel's order finalizing the $25 million Trump University settlement means that victims of Donald Trump's fraudulent university will finally receive the relief they deserve," he said in a statement, adding that the amount surpassed the initial number the class-action suit initially negotiated. "This settlement marked a stunning reversal by President Trump, who for years refused to compensate the victims of his sham university," the statement added. "My office won't hesitate to hold those who commit fraud accountable, no matter how rich or powerful they may be." Former employees and students of Trump University, Donald Trump's now-defunct, unaccredited clearinghouse for real estate courses, declared the business a scam in testimony released as part of a class-action lawsuit. In the sworn testimony recently unsealed by U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, two former employees described Trump University as a get-rich-quick scheme orchestrated by the reality TV star at the expense of the financially unsavvy. The testimony, along with newly released "sales playbooks," shows the aggressive sales tactics Trump's employees were trained to use on the unsuspecting. The pitch began with a free 90-minute seminar designed to coax customers into paying for more courses. The prices of these courses ranged from $1,495 for the "Profit From Real Estate Workshop" to $34,995 for the "Trump Gold Elite" package, a three-day retreat Federal appeals court rules $25M Trump University settlement can go forward Trump Defends His $25 Million Settlement of Trump University Lawsuits Trump Settles Trump University Suits for $25M Trump University was a for-profit series of courses about real estate and entrepreneurship that also pushed people to buy Trump's books.

Maybe one day someone here will look into who the Tugwell, in Tugwell Mueller Associates was, and a light bulb will go off. Mueller didn’t go after Trump’s kids. Or Trump’s finances. He didn’t press Trump for in-person questioning. He let Bill Barr mis-represent the Mueller Report before breaking his silence 2 months later. Perfect cover-up man for such brazen crimes.

Cliff Varnell Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Here’s the big lie Robert is promoting, from the linked article: .In other words, the United States, Europe and Poroshenko himself are satisfied with Shokin’s work. The only one who wants his resignation is a massive scheme team led by Biden. What a whopper that one is! Trump and his followers are pathological...

Douglas Caddy Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Didn't Trump go after Biden and his son charging them with a fake scandal in the Ukraine? Didn't it blowback against Trump so that he got impeached, an impeachment that will be in the history books forever? There is still time for impeachment 2.0.

Who didn’t see this coming a mile away? Let's harken back to those heady days when this rumor was floated about Mike Pence engineered to step in after a Trump step-down. This was before Pence stepped in it and made himself even less desirable than Trump. If Cuomo were rush-swapped for Biden before the election, it would be a no-win candidacy. Despite all his flailing press moves, Cuomo isn't known south and west of Ohio, and the party would just look weak(er).

Also Gov. Newsome. I just don't see his face as much as Cuomo and Murphy, but maybe the rest of the country can more easily pick him out of line-up than I can. Newsom.
