With Dopey Don, every accusation is a confession.

Shocking!

I mean, it would be shocking if he hadn't ever done this. Truly shocking.

@#2 ... I mean, it would be shocking if he hadn't ever done this. ...

I was surprised how long it took for something like this to surface.

Do you mean to tell me that a thirty-four times convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, serial deadbeat, half a dozen times bankrupt pathological liar who emerged from the swamp of the MYC real estate market committed mortgage fraud?

What a world, huh?

@#5 ... who emerged from the swamp of the MYC real estate market ...

From what I remember from back in the day, other NYC real estate developers seemed to want little to nothing to do with him.

If that crowd rejects you, well ...

Another prime example of a maga accusation being a confession.

Trumpers like him because he's a dumbass, too, but he's got a lot of money.

They want BE him, and they are already half-way there!

For MAGA, every accusation is a confession. Every day.

The complete lack of imagination among the MAGA crowd has been an issue with the Repubicans for a while now.

They think up all these weird conspiracy theories based on their own experiences.

Somewhere in MAGAland, there's a pizza parlor with a basement that the FBI needs to track down...

I mostly disagree.

My current thoughts are along the lines that MAGA loved Pres Trump for his campaign promises.

But now, that those promises seem to have been worth little more than the imaginary paper upon they were written, MAGA seems to be having issues with Pres Trump.

Case in point: Rep Taylor-Greene (soon to be fmr Rep...)

Stated differently, Pres Trump, in his alignment with billionaires, seems to have deserted his MAGA base and endorsed the very people that his MAGA base seems to despise.

For most other politicians, such corrupt hypocrisy would be fatal toward their staying in office. For Trump, it is just another day at the office, since his voters are perfectly ok with anything and everything he does, as long as he keeps on hating on women, poor people not named them, and of course, those with Black and Brown skin.

Good reporting, and easy work. All one has to do is listen to what this blabbermouth is saying about others, and start looking into/at the topic, in terms of Der Dotard's actions. Projectors gotta project, and he is just talking about himself, and his past actions...

This shouldn't be newsworthy because it was the safe assumption that this was the case.

It's probably the case for most of those in his inner circle as well.

Moving forward, we need to not be surprised that they will blatantly let brazenly illegal things slide while pinning minor s*&^ on anyone who displeases them.

"Tangentially related, why do rich people take mortgages?"

"Rich people" don't spend their own money.

Rich people get rich by leveraging other people's money.

Being in debt is only a problem if you are poor and living close to the margins. And even then it's not a problem if you manage your financial resources correctly.
