Alter-ego "Paycheck Superhero" is denied?
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2919986]All your bullshit and there is no denial of what I said. Even Tooms has someone admitting he is a monger. With you, there are crickets. In fact, there is not one post of yours that I could find that has anything to do with mongering at all. Is the only reason you are here is to talk politics?[/QUOTE]
(...kkkk!) Denial? What is there to deny, when the [b]"Paycheck Superhero"[/b], self image of yourself, lives in your own head?
Sure, what I wrote was bullshit...but in response to denounce, what a cockamamie bullshit [i]"Paycheck Superhero" story[/i], you [u]OFTEN[/u] love to weave about your self, in relation to me and several other left leaning ISGers, who you know little or squat about, as you continually try to [i]"fish"[/i] for information.
But hey, if you also want to play [i]"Paycheck Superhero",[/i] here in this forum, (and not just all up in that wasteland of a sad noggin of yours, naturally feel free...), all I'm asking, is that, if you're going to cast me and others as [b]"Gov't Paycheck Super Villains",[/b] then perhaps you could consider giving us equal billing?
Just saying, equal billing and a nice gov't $48 million dollar yacht for Spidy, would make for a better story in your alter-ego [b]"Paycheck Superhero"[/b] fantasy.
N'est-ce pas?
Yes, Elvis. Let's Do The Math
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2920428].....Let's do some math. Manhattan is 95% Democrat. Of the potential jurors, 5% then voted for Trump. Out of a pool of 100 jurors, the prosecution had 10 strikes from the jury pool. All they had to do was find the 5 likely Republicans and strike them which is easy. If you watch the TV show Bull, it is staggering how easy it is these days with social media to pick out party affiliation. On top of that, "Prospective jurors can be dismissed by the judge for cause if he finds they shouldn't serve on the panel." Got it? [/QUOTE]I love it when Elvis 2008 says [B]"Let's do some math."[/B]. I know he is going to distort his numbers or just flat out mistake the results.
No, Elvis. Manhattan (New York County) did [B]NOT[/B] vote for Biden at 95%. Biden collected something like 86.8% and Trump 12.3%. That would make it 7 out 8 voters went to Biden. Not the 95 out of a 100 that you claimed. What is the difference? 95% vs 87.5%. [URL]https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/new-york/[/URL].
BTW if the trial had been held in Dallas, Texas you would be complaining it wasn't fair? Dallas county voted for Biden over Trump at something like 2 out of 3.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2920428].......You made the stupid claim that there were many people who voted for Trump on that jury. You made that shit up! Once again, [B]you only believe the facts you want to and make shit up to convince you that you are right like all the douches on this forum do.[/B] [/QUOTE]Elvis you do this consistently. It is kind of laughable that you accuse others of doing the same.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2920428]What amazes me is you are too stupid to see how this could be done against YOU, and I showed you exactly how it could be. [B]You think this judge donating to Biden did not matter?[/B] [/QUOTE]Seriously Elvis?? Judge Merchan donated $15 to the Biden campaign. He also donated something like $20 to other Democratic fund raisers. He also received a caution after Trump's lawyers filed an ethics complaint. Odd that you see this as a big conflict. You might want to check out some of the gifts and trips that Clarence Thomas received. Just in case judicial conflicts really bother you.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2920428]But you do not want to believe that right? You know hookers. How often has one lied to you? Yeah, that was the star witness. A hooker and a convicted liar and thief. This was a bookkeeping entry that Trump did not even make. Think about that for a second. You could be put in jail for a bookkeeping error you did not even enter.
[/QUOTE]Why don't we admit to what really happened instead of making up a rationale. Trump was in the midst of his 2016 campain and the Access Hollywood tape came out. He excused it as "locker room talk" but his campaign was worried about another story breaking. Trump had his buddy at the National Enquirer "catch and kill" some other stories. I. e. A doorman at Trump Tower and Karen McDougal's story. Then came Stormy Daniels. But under campaign rules Trump couldn't just write the check himself without getting caught and exposed. So, he had his Attorney (fixer) pay Daniels off and he was paid back monthly by submitting invoices that amortized the payment and tax consequences. This wasn't just the testimony of Michael Cohen who doesn't have a reputation for honesty it was corroborated by the David Pecker from the National Enquirer and several others. Cohen who had known Trump for ages and knew of his inherent dishonesty taped their conversation so that he had proof that Trump agreed to repay him, just in case.
So yeah, Elvis. I see your point. This could happen to any of us.
Damn. These Trumpsters / Repubs are pathetic!
As I have always asked, why don't Repubs every now and then simply try to produce some results other than Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions, Massive Repub Job Destruction and whatever "Once in 100 Years Disaster" they scour the landscape for to embrace and exacerbate in order to again and again Crash the USA Economy and Wipe Out Millions Upon Millions of Jobs?
If they did, they wouldn't always have to lie, cheat and steal to "win" something that the American electorate has clearly demonstrated they DO NOT WANT a Repub to win since the presidential election of 1988.
I mean, my god, they already get $Billions in free unearned and undeserved positive election campaign spin and support from their eternal beloved benefactors in Mainstream Media, no holds barred free campaign speeches, talking points, strategies and system hacks from Putin, Xi and every other enemy of America and that beautifully tailor-made for Repubs already rigged undemocratic Electoral College System on their side.
Yet they still need to pull criminal shit like this every time:

Trumpsters / Repubs are truly pathetic.
GOP, the Party of Open Borders, Defund the Police and Outlaw Sex For Pleasure
I'm thinking these and other factors that many poll respondents are not yet educated about, including the full truth about the terrific, historic recovery from the global disaster of Trump's Pandemic thanks to Bidenomics, Trump taking away the Reproductive Rights of American Men and Women, Trump's plan to jack up Inflation and the cost of rent, gas and food even more than he did with his Trump's Pandemic and so on will more than narrow the far less than a normal +/-MoE Statistical Tie between Biden and Trump in the only 3 state EC races that matter as shown in the RCP and 538 Polling Services Consensus Polls.
Especially after any debate with Biden that Trump can't conjure up an excuse to hide from and both candidate's National Conventions.

[QUOTE]Michael Cohens testimony in the election interference trial of Donald Trump shall be corroborated by a simple bank statement, on which CFO Allan Weisselberg broke down the reimbursement scheme.
..........
"He (Trump) could deny that he ever had sex with Daniels, argue he paid her off because she was extorting him, maintain theres nothing wrong with the paperwork and that he wasnt even aware of what Cohen was doing, and call everyone else a liar.
But the prosecution has David Pecker, and his description of the ongoing catch-and-kill scheme.
The prosecution also has Dylan Howard, who assisted Pecker with the scheme.
They have Trumps gatekeeper, Madeleine Westerhout.
They have Hope Hicks, who was in on the negotiations with Daniels.
They have Stormy Daniels who had sex with Trump, and can even describe his 'mushroom'.
They have Stormy's lawyer, who accepted the payment from Cohen.
All of whom will corroborate Michael Cohens testimony. Making Cohens perceived veracity-problem much less crucial.
They have a habitually cheap Trump, who doesnt pay anybody, suddenly OVERPAYING Michael Cohen a lot of money.
They have Cohen mortgaging his own home, to get the money to pay Stormy.
[B]And they have the TrumpOrg CFOs handwritten notes, spelling out the financial details of the entire scheme.[/b][/QUOTE]None of the conspiritors of Trump's 34 felonies truthfully listed any of those 34 payments as "election / campaign expenses. " If they had claimed just one of them as such, Trump would have been convicted of only 33 Felonies. But they didn't.
And there is no subsequent business report that supercedes the earlier one where everyone found religion and truthfully reported those payments as "election / campaign" expenses rather than the criminal Falsification of them being "legal fees / legal expenses. ".
The timeline for when the payments were made or when the submission of campaign expenses could have been reported is irrelevant gobbledygook.
The fact of the conspirators' under oath and unchallenged testimony and the written, documented and unchallenged description of the scheme along with the unchallenged audio recording of the instigator, director and sole beneficiary of the scheme discussing why and how he was going to pay all that money without the words "election / campaign expenses" being anywhere in it (do Wingers in the bubble even know that exists?) was all the jurors needed in order to convict him of those 34 Felonies.
No additional conviction of the ultimate crime for which the Business Report Falsification was done in another trial is necessary under NY State Law as long as the conspirators knew why they were doing it. As an abundance of unchallenged testimony and documentation showed in this case with zero testimony and documentation presented suggesting anything else.

Trump fires up the Repub Reich, to a fever pitch of kabuki retribution, as dozens of Repubs, right-wing lawmakers and media pundits/conspiracists, conspire with criminals in retribution scheme, based on Trump's petty grievances.
The Repub Reich and clowns are kicking it up a notch and taking [b]Trump's "LOCK HER UP"[/b] campaign slogan rhetoric, on a national tour, to gin up retribution, wherever Repub and right-wing power exits, to shamefully spread lies, falsehoods, untruths and gin-up social and political attacks on Dems wherever possible. With the express goal of "LOCKING UP" and "PERSECUTING" as many fellow American Dems as possible.
This is what Trump's WANTS for America. Fascist politics and a dictator state, that translates to nothing more than REVENGE POLITICS for his crimes, insurrection and sedition! As he once again, projects his criminal pretenses on Dems.

Does sound eerie similar, to something like a American Holocaust?
Good video on the facts of the case. But not unbiased.
[QUOTE=Villainy;2920718]Seriously dude, your arrogance knows no bounds. We all know how to use Google. You want to understand the 34 counts? Here is an explanation to help you understand.
[URL]https://youtu.be/yRR6FYMs9zs?si=-snPaVq2PcOP01rg[/URL]
Your next comment belies your ignorance of the law. It doesn't matter when the crime was discovered it is relevant when it was committed. Trump falsified business records in order to hide his payment to Stormy. That was the predicate act. Watch the video you might understand the whole process better. Maybe.[/QUOTE]That is a good overview of the facts of the case. The first 11 minutes especially. Not that most Wingers' attention span and tolerance for exposure to facts would get him / her past the first 2 minutes.
But if he / she could manage it they will be rewarded by what imo is clear bias spin in favor of poor Trumpty-Dumpty. Based on several times when she tipped her hand.
Among them:
Around the 19 minute mark, in the section where she answers a question about accusations of the trial being corrupt, she cites among a few excuses the "jury instruction debacle, which I covered before", presumably referring to the precedent established in a federal case being applied to this state case.
WTF? She never characterized the jury instructions as a "debacle" earlier. Quite the contrary. She repeatedly said that the state case example was only "a little bit different and I could see it being argued either way. ".
For the sentencing question, she dismisses the possibility that poor Trumpty-Dumpty would get (not deserve? It sure sounded like it) jail time because, after all, nothing must interfere with him running for president and it would be such a bother for the Secret Service. Then she later practically guarantees that appeals and counter appeals will likely take years to come to a final conclusion of the case, all during which time Trump can continue happily waddling, lying and threatening violence his way through a Repub presidential campaign.
She suggests that the case will probably be taken to the Supreme Winger Court and oh gee let me think, she guesses that it has the best chance of being overturned there but does not mention the blatantly obvious reason why. Leaving it to her fellow Winger / Trump-leaners to conclude, well, I guess because those 6 learned, fair and impartial QAnons on that court will see the error of the NY State Court's methods and Make America Great Again.
States Rights! Lolol.
She blythly repeats wholly unsubstantiated Trump and Trump Cult claims like that "it would be impossible for him to get a fair jury in NY" with zero "unbiased" push back on that lie.
And a few other things.
