NYTimes:
"...the decision fell short of a full vindication. In denying Mr. Trump’s bid to throw out the case, the court kept in place the ruling that he had committed fraud, an ignominious distinction for a sitting American president.
Ms. James, in a statement, said that the court had “affirmed the well-supported finding of the trial court: Donald Trump, his company, and two of his children are liable for fraud.”

IOW... any statement by Trump or anyone else that this decision is "total vindication" is wrong, inaccurate or a lie.
All this did was say the punishment did not fit the crime Trump committed, and as such, was excessive.
No more, no less.
Trump will spin it as a vindication, just like he did with the Mueller Report, which concluded that Russia DID interfere in the 2016 election.
Trump is a liar. We must always remember that when anything comes out of his lying mouth. (Also, anything by his lackeys.)
Trump is still America's first convicted felon president who was also found liable for sexual assault (something he actually bragged about in the Access Hollywood video.) Trump told America that he liked to sexually assault women because he's a star. Think about that. America voted for that!
And now we know that Trump partied for 15+ years with convicted child traffickers & rapists. Are we supposed to believe that in those 15+ years Trump & Melania didn't know what went on with those teen girls in Epstein's NY mansion, Palm Beach mansion, New Mexico home, and Epstein's private island? Really?
Here's what James Dobson, who died today, had to say about Trump in 2016...
“If a man will lie to his wife and break his commitment to her, how could he be trusted to lead the free world?”
Great question...
Somehow Mr Focus on the Family, Mr Truth is Not Relative, Mr God's Truth Never Changes, Mr James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, changed his mind about truth and morality.
That's what getting in bed with someone like Trump, a serial adulterer like Newt Gingrich, will do to and your politics. Especially if you claim to love, believe in, respect, fear and desire to follow God.
Which is the only thing the democrats have. No leader, no acceptable platform, pro crime is not a great platform, Alfred e Newman job policy. Trump is disliked but not as much as the democrat party. Kinda sad to campaign on he is hated but we are hated more.
Trump’s approval numbers on ALL his policies are under water, that means a majority of the American people disapprove of him & his policies, even his handling of undocumented immigrants.
Americans don’t like or want the militarization of American cities. That is what dictators do to take control and intimidate people.
Putin is still bombing Ukraine, and Trump accomplished nothing with his hero- worshipping meeting with Russia’s bloody dictator, nor with the European meeting. Nothing got done.
It’s not just the Democrats who are fed up with Trumps failures; it’s the American people and our allies.
It’s the classic story of selling one’s soul to the Devil. One can never win when one gives support to a lifelong liar, cheat, and fraudster.
skud can't be as wilfully ignorant as he appears to be at times.
Discussion with MAGA trumpers (like skud and -fj and sock puppets) is like shouting or pissing in the wind. There's a lot of energy expended with no discernible movement.
Reified beliefs grounded in archaic and failed policies of conservatism will never allow folks mired in the MAGA con to ever look at situations and conditions as they really exist.
America is too far gone. Best to just tune in (to truth) and drop out I guess.
And vote. Not republican (trumpublican).
Keep pitching skud... it matter not who the Dems have, or do not have. None of that changes the fact that you, and millions like you, chose an adulterer, a felon, a man convicted of fraud, and man who closed his non profit rather than face additional fraud charges and a man who bankrupted multiple companies leaving thousands of ppl unpaid and without jobs, to be president.
In so doing, your tribe has forfeited any claim on what's good for America, morality in life and public office, and intellectual honesty.
You see, two things can be true at the same time. The Dems are unpopular right now, just as the GOP was after the 2008 and 2012 elections. But those fortunes always swing to the extremes and as they always do in politics. That means one day they will change and will swing the other way again.
But what won't change is this... Trump will never not be a felon, an adulterer, dishonest man, a fraud, a tax cheat and someone who, while making lots of money, bankrupted numerous companies to avoid paying his bills, vendors and employees.
And you voted for him.
The Brookings Institute sums it up perfectly: 👇👏
"The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition"
I guess Skud is taking credit for Trump's 'largesse'. He reaps a loss of 50% across Europe as those people realize the catastrophe of a sick man running a huge country. Begone to the mothership, where blind loyalty "Trumps" logic and sanity..
In short the GOP is a party now lacking integrity, compassion, and empathy. It is a cold hearted, unfeeling organization that really should shrivel up and just die the useless party it has become.
