    Conservation easements may be the quickest, cleanest kill in a federal tax fraud case against DT. It seems that the tax rights granted to people dedicating large tracts to conservation and then failing to adhere to the terms required to secure said tax breaks is a fat, ripe fruit waiting to be plucked by the IRS as DT isn't the only rich person to play this game. I hope the light shone here will spread to others that are doing the same thing.

    DT claimed the CE tax benefits at multiple projects while ignoring the restrictions imposed when self-valuing those same properties as basis for collateral.

    Old, but relevant, now that the taxes are about to be released that will reflect the tax claims for the CE's while his financials used for loans consistently value the properties as if the CE restrictions did not exist.

    In California, the area put under conservation could not be developed due to structural geological conditions. If you can't develop it, how does putting it under a CE add value? That decision was bought and paid for is the only logical answer. In other areas, development has happened in violation of the terms of the CE.

    Trump wanted to trademark the phrase "Rigged Election" in the days after he lost. What a clown you guys back, probably wanted to sell the suckers t-shirts...

    “Hey Jared! POTUS wants to trademark/own rights to below, I don’t know who to see – or ask…I don’t know who to take to,” the email from Scavino reads, according to a transcript of Kushner’s testimony to the committee, which was released by the panel on Friday.

    Two phrases were bolded in the email: “Save America PAC!” and “Rigged Election!”

    Saw that he reposted on Truth Social an opinion piece encouraging him to run independent if the GOP continues to turn its back on him. Basically, just for revenge……

    If that happens, I’ll volunteer to collect signatures for him… I know just the trailer parks to hit…

    Hope Hicks Text Message from Jan 6th… She is mostly feeling sorry for herself because she thinks Trump ruined her chances at a career in politics… I mean, forget the deaths and attempted end of democracy…. She can’t get a job… but hey, it’s not like there were 5 years of warning signs going back to 2016 when Trump said he’d only accept the results if he won…. Just thought it was interesting that she realized they looked like domestic terrorist in real time…

    “In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter,” Hicks wrote to Radford on January 6, 2021. “And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. I’m so mad and upset. We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

    That's an incredible quote. It's pretty clear who she holds responsible. But the obvious question: She just then realized he's a treasonous, selfish jerk?

    Yeah, they all deserve this. They rode what they knew to be the devils train right up until it raniff the tracks somewhere in Hades and then screamed because it was now too warm.

    And now there's this.
    Trump blames pro-life Republicans for midterm loss
    The irony is that it was Trump who outsourced the selection of his SCOTUS nominees to the Federalist Society virtually guaranteeing a Supreme Court majority likely to overturn Roe v. Wade. What Trump got wrong was that it wasn't low turnout by prolife voters that was responsible for the Republican disappointment in the midterms it was that the overturning of Roe changed the political landscape by replacing single issue prolifers with single issue pro-choice voters and that effect was especially pronounced in swing districts and in swing states.

    DT had refused to identify "investigators" who searched for records. Judge says produce the names and make them available for questioning. Another DT employee needing a lawyer. DOJ knows there are substantial amount of documents still missing. More search warrants pending?

    Santos probably has it on his resume by now

    If they fail to comply, cite them for contempt and lock them up. Instead, they will skate as usual.

    I think Trump may be afraid to leave Florida because it would be easier to arrest him nearly anywhere else. DeSantis may have told him that he would interfere with any attempts to do so at MAL.

    If it came to something like that, wouldn’t they issue an arrest warrant anyway?

    So, Trump would theoretically become a fugitive and those “shielding” from arrest would be committing their own crimes.

    I don’t think even our esteemed guv would go that route, esp not as he probably wants Trump out of his way.
