Re - The Mary Trump Fraud Case Against Trump

Trump is trying to have the case dismissed but the judge is seemingly saying in the oral arguments that there are factual disputes that must go through the discovery process. So he is telegraphing that he will deny the motion.

Trump’s sister the disgraced judge who also hates Trump is a codefendant and her lawyer is making a statute of limitations argument saying she had beliefs of fraud at the time but did not follow up for 20 years.

Her lawyer was once used by my family in an inheritance matter.

The case is at the New York Supreme Court level.
In New York the highest court is The Superior Court and the Supreme Court is below it.

Covid - Brutal Truth

It isn’t that some of the ultimate statistics are suppressed or hidden but they are just not presented.

I have done the number crunching and at this time approximately 1 out of 68 people in the 65 and older age group have died from Covid.

If that does not startle and upset you I got no response to that.
The statistic is accurate and if anyone does not believe it I will show you some easy math to prove it.

Maybe they don't present the data that way because it is misleading. First of all, you appear to be using total deaths following a COVID diagnosis, which is not the same as best-estimate COVID-related deaths.

Also, about one in 13 people in that same age group have died from all other causes in the same period of time. I don't want to suggest that a 20% increase in the mortality rate isn't significant, but I do find that certain people seem determined to present the data in ways that imply that the change is much greater.

Other people try to present it in ways that imply that the change is insignificant. It's the same problem the general public has trying to get straight answers about the expected impact of climate change from the media.

I don't think it is based on estimates. It is based on covid confirmed deaths and cdc reported excluding anything probable but not yet confirmed.
I go by the more conservative of only confirmed numbers.

I absolutely believe that the these numbers are truly shocking. We live with normal consistent death rates from a myriad of causes in this group but these stats show a very very significant death rate from an unexpected and lethal and more difficult to protect against cause.

The numbers are not debatable nor a subject for debate or false equivalency.
The numbers are real.

Can't say I disagree on this one. It is nothing more than a political football, and a launching pad for the ladder climbers.. and who loses with these jerks? The athletes. I haven't followed the games since Sean O'Sullivan lost his fight to whoever that guy was. All the guy did was run for 3 rounds.. and didn't land one hard sho;. but he landed more powder puff shots than did Sean.

I am amazed that any free country would send anyone to that sleazy country

I hope NBC loses so much $$$$ that no "networks" will even bid on coverage of the Olympics no more.
They bug me and I haven't even turned on a TV in weeks.

Ive reached the conclusion that the non vaxxers like the thrill of trying to cheat death.
That is actually their thing.

Today’s New Trump Investigation

The National Archives is angry and has referred Trump’s handling of white house records including classified records to the DOJ.

First he regularly despite admonitions to stop ripped up and tore up documents and memos often into shreds. He was warned but he persisted. People hired for the sole purpose to make sure all such material was properly archived would have to collect the shreds and piece it together and many of the dalvaged documents were sent to the National Archives in that condition and then to the select committee.

Second, he stole 15 boxes of documents including the love letters from North Korea and took them to Mar a Lago. They were tracked down by the National Archives after investigation.

Now the National Archives has referred these matters to the Justice Department.

And they wanted to lock her up over literally 2 or 3 technically but practically harmless inadvertant e mails
and the technically classified ones were not classified when they were sent and recieved.
And nothing was even remotely intentional.

Such a dangerous double standard.
There is still a core of 33.34% of the Republican base that thinks the election was stolen and Trump is still God and democrats are evil.


These are the SO CALLED - because they are far from it - religious people who cant tell the difference between right and wrong and freedom vs illegal power and yes, good vs evil.

I don't watch much of the Olympics, but I wouldn't want them to stop holding them. Ask the athletes (isn't that who the games are supposed to be for?) how they feel. Most of them spend their lives training for the opportunity to be in the Olympics and most of them have little to no shot of winning anything. Would they prefer there were people in the stands cheering them on? No doubt. But ask the Olympians and I bet over 90% of them would say they'd rather be there with no crowds than not be there at all. Also, the athletes have no say in where the Olympics are held. Yes, I'd like to see the IOC not hold the Olympics in countries with horrible human rights history, but it doesn't look like that will ever happen.

Im not against the non doping athletes.
Never implied it.
In my opinion it is all about politics and doping and very little sportsmanship.

Im not calling for an end of the olympics and never said it or implied it.

I just stated my opinion as to why I dont enjoy them at all and have zero interest in them except for the basketball and otherwise don't watch a second of it on TV.
