Judge orders Trump to pay $2m for misusing Trump Foundation funds


A New York judge has ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2m (£1.6m) for misusing funds from his charity to finance his 2016 political campaign.

The Donald J Trump Foundation closed down in 2018, after prosecutors accused it of working as

"little more than a chequebook" for Mr Trump's interests.
Charities such as the one Mr Trump and his three eldest children headed cannot engage in politics, the judge ruled.

She said the money must be paid by Mr Trump himself.

"I direct Mr Trump to pay the $2,000,000, which would have gone to the Foundation if it were still in existence," wrote Judge Saliann Scarpulla.

She said the money should go to eight charities Mr Trump has no relationship to.

Mr Trump "breached his fiduciary duty"

by allowing funds raised for US veterans to be used for the Iowa primary election in 2016, she said in the settlement.

Pelosi really was dumb to say impeaching Trash would get him re-elected

Senate Republicans discover their silver impeachment bullet is backfiring

voters did go to the polls in droves but, if there was a motivating factor, it seemed more about

sending Trump the signal that many, many Americans are damn sick and tired of watching him defile our republic.

There is simply no other way to read the results in

Virginia, where turnout surged from 29% in 2015 to nearly 40%

four years later and delivered control of both legislative chambers to Democrats.

Turnout also surged in Kentucky to 42%, 11 points above what the secretary of state had projected.

But Tuesday wasn’t just a one-hit wonder,

the suburbs have turned on Republicans almost entirely over the course of a mere three years since Trump was elected.

“We’ve seen this now in ’17, in ’18 and in ’19, so there’s no anomaly here,"

, not only is Trump not the Senate Republicans' silver bullet; impeachment or no impeachment,

he's the bullet they have to dodge in order to prevail in 2020.

Trash is weak in rural America —
and it could ‘spell bad news’ for his 2020 re-election

While rural counties went overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016,

he only has about half of their support currently.

Less than half of rural America (48 percent) approves of the job Trump is doing as president,

There are far more people of color in rural areas than most seem to believe

“About one-fifth — nearly 10.3 million people — are people of color,” the report said, citing federal data.

“And despite having many of the same — if not worse — challenges as white Americans in their communities, rural people of color often face the same challenges

when it comes to racism, xenophobia and other matters of discrimination as people of color in big cities.

And like people of color in major cities, these people tend to vote for liberal politicians.”

but I read that Trash could lose the popular vote by 10M votes and still take the anti-democratic show Electoral College

Matt Gaetz's 'real America' of guns and Bible-clingers is the American minority, and still shrinking

Florida Man Matt Gaetz mocked “kale and quinoa” eaters who look down upon

those that eat “fried foods” in “real America.”

“It’s a worldview where you eat nothing but kale and quinoa,

where those of us who cling to our Bibles
and our guns
and our fried foods
and real America

are looked down upon,”

he might literally be the dumbest man in Congress, and

that includes the likes of Iowa white-supremacist Steve King and Texas moron Louie Gohmert.

But he is representative of the Republican base.

Problem is, what they call

“real America” is really more like “dying America.”

Goetz is right down with Steve King and Louie Gohmert and Trash as the dumberest of the dumb

Doing more for blacks then 44 and 43,42,42,42 and so on

Like what?

I can think of one thing: the criminal justice reform bill, fairly modest as reform goes, but definitely a good move in the right direction.

Prolepsis: giving Trump credit for macroeconomic trends is akin to giving credit to roosters for causing the sun to rise.

[pgardn]

They got jobs.

Two more more per person because wages suck.
No health care reform, just destruction.
