The conman and fraudster buys his way out of paying the fines for the fraud he committed.

Visitard and --------- gloat and laugh while democracy burns.

Welcome to Trumplandia where justice today is defined by a tyrant (L'tat, c'est moi) and now just depends on how much money and lawyers you have.

Since he was unfairly targeted, he needs to sue for damages and lawyer fees.

Hey dumbass, he's still guilty of fraud.

The Fine is remanded. But being appealed.

The liability and injunction were not tossed.

#Sad

I was told ALL of it was going to be tossed by MAGA. What happened?

#9 | Posted by Sycophant at 2025-08-21 04:04 PM | Reply

The fine was thrown out as being excessive, but Pres Trump is still guilty, according to the Appeals Court.

#10 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-08-21 04:07 PM | Reply

Yup.

NEW YORK (AP) " A New York appeals court on Thursday threw out the massive financial penalty a state judge imposed on President Donald Trump, while narrowly upholding a finding he engaged in fraud by exaggerating his wealth for decades. The ruling spares Trump from a potential half-billion-dollar fine but bans him and his two eldest sons from serving in corporate leadership for a few years.

Trump, in a social media post, claimed "total victory."

MAGA sees this as a victory even though a panel of judges called him a fraud.

They said the fine was excessive after finding him guilty of 4 out of 5 counts... and it will now go on further Appeal:

"Aug 21, 2025 Legal AF Podcast

Don't believe the Headlines;

Trump is not the victor in the appeal of his $463 million dollar civil fraud judgment, although the lower level appellate court is sending it to the highest court in NY to decide whether any money should be "disgorged" from Trump and his family and executives, or if the injunction against his fraudulent business practices is enough.

Michael Popok, who has argued before this very same appeals court, breaks it all down for you and makes sense of it all."

At the end of the day the only thing that mattered was the fine. I don't give a ---- if the guilty verdict wasn't tossed as it doesn't matter. He won the election and won the war that Democrats waged against him. All the American public sees is Trump is getting his $$$ back.

Ah so, Bluftwaffer doesn't mind that his Cult Leader and Traitor in Chief was convicted by a Jury of his Peers on several more counts of Fraud... to add the the several dozen other convictions he has.

Loyalty to Trump is the most important factor, not that his, "President is NOT a crook!".

Admitting that you are more about thinking you might one day 'own you a lib!' than the travesty of Fraud, Rape, and Treason we have for a President is mighty big of you.

More self-concerned than patriotic, but hey, that's what freedom is all about; you can be as disloyal to America as you like, as long as you are enjoying being an idiot instead.

Anyone who thinks Trump will ever face any form of justice in this world is a deluded fool. No matter what the states do, his SCOTUS will always be there for him and the rest of the GOP.

Syco, if they "got him" he'd be sitting in either NY State Prison or if Dems truly had their way in Federal Prison. Instead, the American people chose to send him back for a second term. The guy will go down as one of the most infamous Presidents in history and I'm proud to support him.

So...

In addition to the conviction on 34 criminal counts, we now also have a Pres Trump in the Oval Office guilty of 4 counts of civil fraud?

So odd that the "law and order" GOP seems to worship him.

Yeah, but so far that current alias has 43 (going on 44) replies to the incorre3cnt headline.

Like the current bellringer alias seems to do, maybe the current bluewaffles alias is trolling for replies?

Or, might they be more than just similar in that regard?
