There is no dispute that Trump made a payment to a porn star via a non disclosure agreement. It is over how it was done. There is definitely a dispute over him ripping off a bank as there were no losses incurred by any parties involved and there is definitely a dispute over him sleeping with an underage girl. I did offer a link that pretty well discusses that case and there is no there, there.
This is about how low we can go in political disputes.
I may stand alone here with my views, but out in the real world, I hold and stand with the majority views over these things that we are discussing.
"There is definitely a dispute over him ripping off a bank as there were no losses incurred by any parties involved"
There should be no dispute of him ripping off a bank... even if the bank was made whole... as the bank (if it knew the true extent/value of his holdings), may not have taken the risk to lend him the money. But (even if they did), it's very likely they would not have lended to him at the rate at which at which they did.
Heck, why not just pass some laws to waive requiring disclosing any financial information (or waive requiring that supplied financial information be correct) when applying for personal/business loans? I would to have loved to overstate my worth to the bank that I had my first mortgage with as I probably could have shaved a point or two from the interest rate.
He is also a master at dragging out the clock, along with his sycophants. If at some point in the future the judge throws out the jury conviction, then he will no longer be a convicted felon. If at some point in the future, if a court overturns the conviction, then he will not be considered a felon legally. Personally, I think the judge should have sentenced him and let them sort it out on appeal since the trial is over.
But, yeah, the supreme court ruling against using anything he said in an official capacity, and his lack of putting a firewall between trump the president and trump the candidate, has effectively crowned him king of your failed democracy.
Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
There is no such thing as victimless financial crimes. Somewhere, someone down the line pays the price, even if it is when the government has to bail out the bank. The idea that no one gets hurt is exactly the same inane logic as Trump boasting of not paying tax... that is not actually anything to be proud of. All it means is you are a lousy (corporate) citizen.
In the case of Trump and the bank loan in question, it was a real estate construction loan. These are unique loans. There was no crime. A deal was made and the deal that was made was completed to the satisfaction of everyone involved. No government bail outs involved. Nor the risk of one. It was fully collateralized.
Can you or anyone else explain what a construction loan is and how it works without looking it up ? I bet islander can. He knows everything.
Do you really believe that Mar a Lago is worth only $18 million as the judge insisted ? You've got to be kidding. That is where the real fraud is.
This was another example of applying an unrelated law to go after Trump.
An old Stalinist tactic of show me a man and I'll find a crime.
Like Bezos and Amazon which pays no corporate taxes, last I looked.
Eck-tually, itâs about him committing fraud. Breaking the law.
If we are going to say that victimless crimes are not crimes, then we need a major rethinking of our justice system, and thatâs not whatâs happening here.

ewww.. leave me out of this.
I'm not the one supporting a guy who pays hush money to a porn star to fool his wife and the electorate, who defrauds a bank by consciously misstating the value of his assets and who frequents a smutty sex-island offering the services of possibly demonstrably underage girls to rich clients looking for .... what exactly? some kind of affirmation to relieve the vacuity in their souls?
The whole thing is smutty. Your man. Not mine.
(oh btw... having the majority behind you doesn't make it any better - just makes me think of that line from Crowded House: ..the excess of fat on your American bones will cushion the effect as you sink like a stone")

Have I got this right? No one is disputing whether Trump actually did these things, like pay-off a porn-star, rip-off the banks and sleep with an underage girl, they are just disputing how we call them? ffs. How low can you go. This is no longer about party politics. It's about self-respect.

Now tell me again that Trump is a convicted felon.

"Lawyer" happens to be Will Scharf who's working for Trump. His claim is that we shouldn't call Trump a convicted felon until Judge Merchan sentences him. I haven't seen or heard of other lawyers without skin in the game agree with Scharf.
I don't give a f%#k about Will Scharf's opinion. Trump's a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist. Deal with it.
Well when you look at the post below and watch the associated video you will find out that Trump is not a convicted felon.
Nor is he a convicted rapist as you allkeep insisting. Words do matter. To continue calling Trump a convicted felon would make you or anyone else who does the same, a liar. I will also no longer refer to Hunter as a convicted felon in light of this information as he has yet to be sentenced. Back to you and anyone else to whom this may apply.
Yes words matter and trump is a convicted felon. And I have never said he is a convicted rapist. He was found guilty in a civil case, which is pretty damning and he has been accused of rape by multiple women including his ex wife. No, that is not the same as a criminal conviction. But we all know that criminal convictions, particularly with older cases are hard to prosecute. He admitted to groping women against their will.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts by a jury of his peers in a criminal court. He is a convicted felon appealing his sentence.
If he were not a convicted felon, he would not be facing a sentencing hearing in September. He also would not have to report to a parole officer.
If a person is convicted of a felony—say, raping your cousin—he can be sentenced while he's appealing the decision. He's still regarded as a convicted felon—or perhaps you think that's still innocent and should be allowed to do whatever he likes during the appeal. So, theoretically, he could try to rape your cousin again or your wife while he's out on appeal.
The opinion of lawyers experienced in such matters is that Trump's chances of a successful appeal are slim, btw.
Yes, you can call Hunter Biden a convicted felon by following my logic.
Trump has also been judged a rapist by a jury of his peers. The statute of limitations for filing criminal charges against Trump had expired, so the matter was addressed in civil court through codified legal standards, protocols and practices.
Trump is an adjudicated rapist appealing that judgment.
Words do matter. So does facing facts even when you don't like them. You can't wish an alternate reality into existence, Kurt.

Kurt, Let's get back to the supreme court issues and your continued support for trump even though he is a convicted felon. You use every slippery move possible to avoid saying that, or any of the other crimes he is accused of disqualify him as president. Oh, his appeal hasn't gone through to get a ruling from the Supreme Court? Most other felons are sentenced and serve time and maybe, eventually their appeals wind through the process and maybe are taken up by the Supreme Court years later. Usually that won't happen. Sure, due process and all before they are convicted. But once someone is convicted of a crime, they are considered a criminal. You are willing to vote for a felon for president. No way around that. You will continue to turn a blind eye to his being a felon and all indications he is a creep, including his own wife saying he raped her. Your bar for his behaviour is set at it is ok until the Supreme Court rules against him. Oh, and the places like all his attempts to tamper with the election where the Supreme Court ruled against him don't count. And the many legal cases that he and his organisation have lost don't count if they were not criminal cases. So if you wonder why several people here treat your opinions with contempt, that's probably a lot of it.

WTF are you talking about ? What does this have to do with the topic which was the SCOTUS ? I don't recall making any such statements. Show me the quotes. You're channeling someone else, maybe veev ? Sounds like something he would say.
You're fascination with rape is beyond comprehension. Rape this, rape that, here a rape there a rape, everywhere a rape, rape ... old Mac kcar had a dream e, i, e, i, oh ....
.
Do you fantasize about it ? Did your mommy cut you off too soon ?
You have seriously gone off the reservation. You're too far gone to talk to at all anymore.
Geezus, you really need to get laid, stat !!
Or maybe canoeing ...

Trump's still a rapist and a convicted felon, pendejo. He still owes over half a billion dollars in civil damages. He cannot stop lying. He sucked as president.
Traci Lords is irrelevant to this "discussion."
I can understand why you support Trump. He's a clown and you're a clown. But still: GFY and wipe your ass while you're at it.
Good lord, you're the very model of an illogical and immature fool. Have you ever successfully argued a position, for real benefits/consequences in your life? I'd wager: never
Burden of proof is on you, dipshit. But do continue screaming at the clouds.

Except you still can't/won't provide your evidence. So once again, you're just a pointless mosquito. Find something better to do on the 4th of July, dipshit.
