The hammer finally came down this morning, when New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Donald Trump, his children, and company over his business practices, accusing him of running a ten year long fraud scheme that covered his entire time in office. (The only reason it’s not for his entire fraudulent life is due to the Statute of Limitations)
Ahhhh. What an airlock scene comes to mind. It feels like we have been Ripley in the metal exosuit cargo loader at the end of “Aliens” wrestling with the alien El Jefe del Merde a Loco. Tumbling around with the damn fool trying to protect the child Newt representing democracy. And then blowing him out the airlock. Bam!
Letitia is my Ripley today. And he can’t fire her. Or Frodo.
TC’s prose in THE GRIFTED AGE was as plain and stark as, the former president’s ‘… entire career is now revealed as based on fraud and deceit rivaling those of Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff.' (TC)
There was enough color in Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, which ’… runs through a detailed accounting of 200 instances of business, bank, and tax fraud from Trump, Ivanka Trump, Don Jr., Eric, and the Trump Organization… James said in a footnote in the lawsuit that her office is referring her findings to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The IRS will be very interested in this, and he should tremble at the thought of how they will come for him.’ (TC)
As much as the 220-page lawsuit, filed in New York State Supreme Court, may seem to spell doom for DJT, wait a minute.
‘…those crowds at his rallies will still raise their arms in Qanon salute to “the most persecuted man in America,” the man who suffers this persecution “because of all I do for you.” (TC)
Don’t dare think that our fight is over. Don’t predict and don’t relax your determination to defeat fascism. We have the life of America’s experiment with Democracy in our hands.
'In horror movies, the monster always has to be killed three times. This is Number One. Election Fraud in Georgia and theft of government documents could be Two and Three.'
This is one of your best columns about Trump. Grounded in the revelations of Trump’s muck of lies and deceit that we have known about for 40+ years (and wondered how could he get away with it (too big to fail?)…and transporting us with one word “airlock” to Ripley’s victory. What a dream come true that would be. I’m dreaming…🥰❤️🤍💙
Layer on Jean's rape lawsuit which launches as a Thanksgiving gift. You heard it here. This will not be the only woman to sue the putz now that NY law has changed. Beware the wrath of abused women.

Unita! 🗽
The law suit lays out hundreds of examples of fraud
The Red Hats will cry Witch Hunt
The rest of America will sigh, finally. “Hunt Over, Witch Found”
Leticia James, Fani Willis, and the National Archives. There couldn’t be a more satisfying group to take him down.
Holy Sh*t! All of the suspicions are true. Holy Sh*t.

I grinned the whole time I read this. Say what you will, the man has balls. I do hope they get nailed to a chair and the chair pushed over backwards

And yet his lackey attorneys promote the “political witch hunt” and “it’s all about James’ poll numbers”
At some point, even the less rabid MAGA hats will recognize their idol is a crook and that the rule of law has some need for validity
Sublime. Best so far. My favourite ending.
Finally all that grift is getting documented!!! Thanks for the guide. Good reading.

‘….Trump balloons floating in 2020..’ were probably filled with the foul air emanating from his oral orifice!
