Here is an excellent explainer from the PB local paper, cites actual tax policy and updated valuations used for calculating property taxes and why an appraiser gave the $18million figure (not the Judge or James who merely cited it) and funny how the amount wasn't contested for tax paying purposes.
This like the time the Beagle Boys drilled a hole in Uncle Scrooge's Money Vault #6 and pumped it dry while he watched. A tragedy to one; a comedy to everybody else.
"My Financial Statement is very conservative (the exact opposite of what the Attorney General said)." I believe what the AG said was you regularly lie, lying to suit your need at the time. I don't know if she cares which direction the lie goes. You're being inaccurate, a.k.a dishonest, a.k.a lying. Which you admit!
He could make a fortune selling those sweet sweet Trump Farts...if only he could get all those GQP pikers outta the way! You could run a nukular power plant on those bombs!
There's no coherence nor consistency, as there would be with German nouns or with honorifics. The bizarre capitalization must have more to do with what his pea brain thinks is a "hard word" -- or what he would yell more loudly if anyone were listening to his sorry whine.
They always fall. Corrupt, vile, unethical. One of the worst villains of American history was destined to one day reap what he’s sown. He will spend his last years in disgrace, with fewer and fewer opportunists coming to call. And never experiencing real love for who he is.
E. Jean Carroll said it all on Rachel Maddow tonight. Without the cameras, without the rallies, without the cheering mobs, he's nothing. He's just a guy.
I have a friend who joyously calls me after every big misfortune that Trump experiences.
I am sometimes taken aback by how much my more churchy-than-me catholic buddies really really want to see him in disgrace and suffering. But then I recall the months after 11/9 when none of us could sleep and we felt like we were living in a nightmare, and I think "screw it being nice" let him be the one to have to "offer it up".
Has her performance actually been worth money? She screwed him out of a jury trial by not filling out a form correctly, not to mention all her other shenanigans. She's not worth paying.
I think that one’s been debunked. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it that this trial was never eligible for a jury? Weren’t they just beating a dead herring with that nonsense about not being allowed to have a jury?
AFAIK, Trump as the defendant had the option of a jury or judge alone trial. Habba didn't request a jury trial, so it went to judge alone. Trump pretended he was unfairly cheated out of a jury trial (which probably would have been better for him), but it was 100% Habba's screw up.
I'm talking about the value of the world's lasting contempt, mockery, and disgust. That's worth something -- it's what has motivated Tiny Hands since his days at a reform school, upstate.
I had a long discussion with a trumper guy who couldn't understand this. You can sell your house for whatever price you want, right? Well, yes, you can, and if you can sell your dump for a bajillion dollars, more power to you. However, there's a massive difference between asking price and actual value, and trump knows that perfectly well. My trumper acquaintance didn't understand it, and only knew it was all BIGLY TROOF FRAUDZ LIBERALS BIDEN SATAN.
Especially if you think about getting a loan for the amount you’re buying it for (assuming someone wanted to buy the infested eyesore that is MAL for 18 beeeellion dollars). If the bank’s appraisal is way less than you’re asking for a mortgage for, you’re shit outta luck for that mortgage. I had to learn all this stuff just to buy a very modest house in the middle of nowhere small town USA (with state aid because I qualify as low enough income). To get that aid I had to take an online homebuyer financial literacy course, talk with a state-provided financial counselor, and agree in writing to a whole bunch of conditions. But none of this stuff is top-secret - I literally learned it all myself via google and YouTube, and aced the online class when I finally had to take it. The fact that so many regular Americans are so confused about this really indicts our public education system and the wealth disparities that lead an enormous proportion of our citizens to never be able to afford to buy a house.
Had a similar experience. We found a GORGEOUS house, good condition, checked off all our boxes, including a great price. But because of location - a nicer street in a grittier neighborhood - the bank wouldn't appraise. That was close to a year ago and I'm still looking.
It is not our public education system. I've been a teacher for decades, and have taught or subbed at literally every grade from kindergarten to college. Have you ever tried to teach something like financial literacy to a room full of willfully ignorant people? I have. It's a grinding, depressing thing, let me tell you. The guys like the one I spoke to are the ones who goofed around and harassed the teacher in financial literacy class. Now they're paying for it and they're too dumb to even know that.
Father in law managed to finagle a company that desperately wanted his 3 acres to complete a parcel to the tune of 600K. The house was worth maybe half of that (even in today's wacky housing market) but the company finally caved because they NEEDED those last 3 acres, desperately.
The difference is that my father in law strung them along for two years until they caved, because he knew he held all the cards.
If he'd needed 300K cash or Go To Jail, Go Directly To Jail, I think he'd have settled a lot earlier, and for a lot less.

Leave the brand. Take the cannoli.
No worries. He never pays anybody. He's the "king Deadbeat"
You can say that again!
No worries. He never pays anybody. He's the "king Deadbeat"
"Goodwill" He's one of the most hated people in teh country, world also too probably.
Doesn't he also have a balloon payment on a loan coming up this year that he personally guaranteed?
And Barron needs braces. It all comes at once.

Ta, Evan. When this is over, I hope that thing is in prison, but I doubt he'll live that long.

And no victims (except him).
It's an odd argument. It's okay to lie, cheat, and steal so long as nobody gets hurt.
He could make a fortune selling those sweet sweet Trump Farts...if only he could get all those GQP pikers outta the way! You could run a nukular power plant on those bombs!
Well if he's way wealthier than the courts insist he is, paying these fines should be no problem
Has anyone ever explained the Random CAPS ? It doesn't make his writing easier to follow.

LOLOLOL that anyone thinks he'll pay Habba
Has her performance actually been worth money? She screwed him out of a jury trial by not filling out a form correctly, not to mention all her other shenanigans. She's not worth paying.
Kaplan really should require some sort of serious CLE for Ms. Habba.
I think that one’s been debunked. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it that this trial was never eligible for a jury? Weren’t they just beating a dead herring with that nonsense about not being allowed to have a jury?

Oh, she'll get what's due her, won't she?
only if what you are talking about is NOT MONEY
I'm talking about the value of the world's lasting contempt, mockery, and disgust. That's worth something -- it's what has motivated Tiny Hands since his days at a reform school, upstate.
Boy, it's gonna take A LOT of digital trading cards to cover all that.
He couldn't sell pardons in a women's prison.
What an utterly Australian idiom...

Technically, the guy with a gun to your chest is only asking you to make a qualified assessment of how much you consider your life is worth.
