    Losses At Trump's Scottish Golf Courses Top An Astonishing $75 Million

    I wonder how many countries and states will be going after him, once he's out of office.
    Just another scam, another front, another crime.

    It's going to be interesting to how it goes down, a House of Cards..
    He's burning bridges everywhere, for anyone that doesn't do what he wants.
    Why would they go back???

    My understanding is Conma Trump businesses are going to have some loan payments due, large this year and massive next year. And he doesn't have the money.

    His hospitality related businesses were in trouble before covid.

    How ironic that his downplaying and mishandling the covid-19 pandemic cost him reelection, and could play a large role in costing him some businesses.

    But...
    Conman Trump has been through this before. He'll likely just go through Chapter 11 and leave everyone else holding the empty bag.

    I think this time, there will be a price to pay.
    Not just Chapter 11
    Not just Chapter 7...and liquidation
    But charges and jail.

    It’s been going on too long
    It won’t be a house of cards...but a long line of dominoes

    There’s even going to be consequences for those who placed bets on him.

    T is one of the reasons there are laws created and regulations put in place. The abuse, pushing the boundaries, Ill intent and bad faith. Business will only take so much...

    I’m just sad it was ignored and allowed until the damage was done.

    I would love to see Conman Trump pay fiscally, physically, and mentally for his unethical and illegal activities.

    Will it actually happen? I'm doubtful.


    A scenario I consider very likely:

    Trump will be found guilty of some type of financial fraud.

    He will receive a financial penalty that will hurt him, but won't break him.

    If Conman should end up broke...A group of his extremely rich supporters will buy one or more of his properties, and allow Conman Trump to live there for the rest of his natural life.

    Frankly, I can’t keep up with all the news.

    But this are the highlights IMHO
    FB, Insta and Twitter have temporarily disabled T’s account.
    There are many resignations tonight including Elaine Chao...Secretary of Transportation and Mitch McConnells wife.

    And there’s notes being stated that the Cabinet is considering using the 25th Amendment.

    And for a fact, one of the House members are submitting Articles of Impeachment.

    Whether the last 2 go through, we’ll see.

    ...just 2 weeks before he’s supposed to be out
    At noon on Jan 20th

    Just surreal
    Hollywood can’t write this shit.

    While the 25th amendment is good in theory, I would be surprised if they could get it done. I think the cabinet members would be too scared for their lives and their families lives if they take that vote, since there are only 2 weeks left.

    What I would expect if they do anything is to hold the 25A vote, but make it only apply to the power to give military orders. That way he won't order the military to launch nuclear or conventional weapons on Iran.

    The people "resigning in protest" strikes me as false, at least partially. Many/Most/All of those people will be gone in two weeks. Pretty amazing that they didn't protest when future paychecks would've been at risk.

    ^ This reminds me of the Republican leaders "suddenly" acknowledging Biden's winning the election (AFTER they've exhausted every challenge to the election results).


    25th Amendment. It'll never happen...
    unless a plan is in place for
    Conman Trump to be pardoned by Pence.

    I don't see Conman's Narcissistic Personality Disorder allowing
    him to resign and admit to any wrongdoing.

    And again, he has two weeks left.


    I'm waiting to see what is going to happen with the security and law enforcement idiots who didn't prepare for the rioters. At the low level the LEOs posing for photos with the rioters should be fired immediately, and possibly be charged.


    The Conman buttsuckers on our local Favorable Conservative Republican News radio station have really been scrambling and stretching to deflect responsibility away from Conman.

    Counselori Giuliani needs to go to prison. The calls sound illegal. The fact that he's making them during and shortly after the riot and invasion is disgusting, worse than disgusting.

    That is the surprising part of the past 4 years is the number of people who have resigned or were fired.

    Conman Trump hired and appointed many people
    of questionable competency.

    He ended up replacing many of them with people
    of unquestionable incompetency.

    Steven Sund, Chief of US Capitol Police, resigned, effective 01-16-21. I'm sure other members of USCP will be losing their jobs.

    Please, no enactment of the 25th Admendment.
    Do NOT open the door for Pence to pardon Conman Trump.

    Impeachment will likely fail, again, but it would send a clear message to Conman (which his NPD would dismiss), and his enablers.

    The courts in all likelihood (hopefully!!) would not allow a Conman self pardon. A Pence pardon might stand.

    I view a pardon from existing legitimate charges as despicable.
    A pardon from future charges is completely unacceptable.
    That is the equivalent of allowing the President to do whatever he wants, with an agreement with the Vice-president.
