    Judge Tells Ivanka She Can Probably Afford a Babysitter

    And now, for the princess...
    Sorry, there's a pea in your bed...and you'll have to sleep there.

    It's absurd the lengths this family will go to not do court. (other than actually do the right thing, or not do bad things to get them there)

    Each stint on the stand, brings them further down the hole they've dug for themselves (or the bed they made, to keep to the pea story)

    And sorry princess, while you may be separate from daddy in your wealth, your prince will be likely taken down too.
    He's not so charming...and his armor is tarnished.
    Between his real estate dealings and the questionable activities with the Saudis, he'll be probably indicted too, sooner or later.
    The system has got some momentum, it's just forever.

    The NY AGs will likely go after him for the real estate dealings....and the Feds will go after him for the foreign activities.
    Then where will the princess sleep???
    Someplace more uncomfortable than a simple pea, I'm sure.

    It might be payback time for some inappropriate comments and perhaps some disturbing touching.

    I need to research how Ivanka has wealth not tied to daddy.

    Mostly it's by her hubby's business and she has some fashion, makeup brands and other investments. (which of course are shared in her marriage, resources are merged for them)
    The key is what she knows and what she was involved in, even before she pulled away.

    Trump waited until after he left office to disclose trademarks he owns in China and Russia

    Of course he did this, Chump has bent and broke rules to his convenience.
    Of course, he hid his ties to foreign nations.
    Of course, he hid money and what he made.

    It's not that he did it, it was obvious to anyone watching.
    It's that those that were supposed to address it allowed it...or lingered on it. And allowed any knowledge to be covered up.
    He's still showing all the holes in the system and the weakness of the caretakers.

    Now, is anything going to be DONE about it?
    Unlikely, if anything soon, considering the time and effort for those already brought on him. They're focused on that.
    Only IF he's found guilty on something, not running for prez again, perhaps in jail, will they bring this forward.

    They've got to stop treating him like he's dynamite, that they can't touch him because of politics.
    Saying it again, if you see something, say something, then DO something.
    It shouldn't matter that he's running or a politician.

    He'll push, bend and break where he can. He thinks the rules don't apply to him.
    And frankly, for the passive effort to stop him, why should he?

    He has no shame. He's hiding even more to this day...and the authorities are STILL playing catch up.
    Who else has got connections to him?
    What else is he lying about?

    Like a rotten onion. :confused::mad::eek::oops:

    NPD Trump has no ethics, and he was policed by people with flexible ethics.

    Where were the watchdogs? If the forms weren't provided why wasn't this mentioned?

    It's also a great example of how easy it is to manipulate bureaucratic red tape.

    Hold NPD Trump in contempt. Fine him enough to get his attention, or better yet let him spend a at least a few hours in jail.

    The big issue is making him seem like a martyr. I say it's worth it.

    She may be made up like a perfect Barbie doll, that's her image.
    but she's no doll nor dumb...and she's playing the same game her dad & brothers are.
    Denial....except hers is claiming ignorance.
    She keeps a mask on.
    But is still a fraud.
    Fake is fake.

    But reality is going to catch up soon.

    Android Ivanka definitely knows more the she's telling.

    All of this denial leads to a question: Where are the witnesses who can say the Trump Crime Family did know the books were being cooked? I doubt what they did together and individually was done in a vacuum.

    Trump Campaign Backtracks After Claiming Ex-President Bought A Gun—Which Could Be Illegal

    https://www.meidastouch.com/news/ex...a-lago-likely-violation-of-indictment-release

    This situation gets really twisted. First & foremost, it is extremely unlikely & highly improbable the gun store actually sold NPD Trump a gun. His comment about buying it was shut down almost immediately back when he was in the store.

    It seems that the handgun that was later auctioned off wasn't the same handgun as the one in store. But the question remains how did the gun end up at Mar-A-Lago, namely who provided it, & who received it.

    There should be documentation of the chain of ownership after it left the factory. The last party to officially own the gun should be easy to determine. It's possible the gun was passed on, without documentation, by a well meaning fan
    to someone at Mar-A-Lago who could legally own it.

    If NPD Trump took possession of the firearm, even as a gift, while under indictment he violated federal law, & so did the person who gave it to him.

    ******
    This situation illustrates my frustration as a firearms enthusiast who questions the extreme views of some (maybe many) members of the firearms community. I made an on-line purchase from the gun store in question, although it was before the store visit by NPD Trump. The NPD Trump visit can be seen on YouTube, & the comments on the video are interesting, to say the least.

    Yes, and he quickly went after the clerk again too.

    Trump and Aides Immediately Attack Clerk After Gag Order Is Paused

    He's like a rabid bulldog that bleeding hearts keep giving chances to.

    Uhh, that animal is unsafe and shouldn't be left alone.
    And that's an insult to animals, the man is lower than a slug. (more like Jabba the Hutt)

    Well, at least he's proving the case and orders against him.
    Hopefully the appellate court slams him, or allows the other judge to bring the hammer down.

    Quite frankly, it's pathetic what the system allows people of wealth and importance to do.

    I still don't understand why something hasn't been done. The logistics of jailing him can be worked out, & I'm sure the Secret Service has figured out some options (not that I trust the SS after 06-Jan-2021 phone records fiasco).

    If it's a matter of bad optics screw that. Jailing NPD Trump is what the US needs to recapture some of the respect we've lost.

    There's multiple factors here going on preventing it.
    1. an underlying respect (overly so) for the president (even past ones) - like they are royalty
    2. Secret service is conservative by nature so there's a bias and they set up their own rules for security too.
    3. there is no precedent for jailing a prez
    4. T's lawyers and cash influence things
    5. T's and the GOP's allies influence things
    6. for some damn reason, the T's opposition and the courts don't want to look "political" :rolleyes:
