re: How serious are the crimes that Trump is being charged with in NY?
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 5/30/24 at 11:26 am
In the realm of criminal activities, mis-classifying an expense is about as minor as it's possible to get. For a business, a hush money payment is not tax deductible, but usually legal fees are. So there would be a charge of tax evasion added.
The real kicker in this case is that the state is tr...

The gag order in the NY case would not prevent Trump from testifying in his own defense
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 5/17/24 at 9:42 am

The general rule is for defendants not to testify, but in this case a forthright denial on the stand by Trump might sway a juror or two.
The defense team needs to huddle up and determine the best course of action over the weekend....
re: Rikers Is Prepared for Donald Trump to Be Sent to Jail

While Rikers is a horrible place, if Trump goes there at least it won't be as bad as the Tombs.

re: Merchan threatens Trump with jail time for next gag order violation
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 5/6/24 at 9:25 am
This would be a criminal contempt charge. As such, he would be violating his bail agreements in his other three cases meaning he could be locked up in pre-trial detention. It's risky on his part. Better for him if he doesn't get another violation. To be locked up until the Atlanta trial or, even w...

re: Joe Rogan Podcast with Bart Sibrel - who here believes the Moon Landing was a hoax?
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 4/26/24 at 8:37 am
The Apollo 1 Command Module did not "blow up" though a flash fire aided by a pure oxygen atmosphere might have seemed like an explosion.
The whole lunar landing thing was done as a competition with the USSR. There wasn't a whole lot of scientific benefit to the program as compared with other pote...

Sure I can. Putin invaded. Putin killed and is still killing thousands of civilians. Putin has been kidnapping Ukrainian children.
I agree there is a non-zero chance Putin, out of frustration, will use nukes. He would be very unwise to do so. I trust th...

re: Trump, Contempt and the Secret Service
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 4/19/24 at 12:32 pm
I'm guessing the judge will fine Trump $1,000 for each violation of the gag order. I believe the count is now at 7. $7,000 for Trump is chump change.
I know criminal contempt is at least a possibility, but I'd bet against it happening. ...
re: Can someone explain the pros and cons of gold?
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 4/19/24 at 9:00 am
Start out by thinking of gold as just another foreign currency. For economic functionally that's what it is.
Long term if you invest in a company whose assets are mostly denominated in a solid currency you get the benefit of appreciation against the US dollar and any dividends and stock price in...
re: The OJ trial solidified our societal demise
Posted by MilwaukeeKosherDills on 4/11/24 at 2:07 pm
I don't know if there would have been a conviction if Mark Fuhrman had simply admitted to using the N word, but lying under oath really hurt his credibility with the jury.
That said, OJ had some very sharp attorneys who might very well have gotten him off any way. ("If the glove doesn't fit . ...

Without reading this 11+ page thread, what about the idea of bonding companies forming a consortium like Lloyds of London to spread the risk? It seems to me that could be a very profitable venture for them if the bonding fees are as little as 5%. ($25 million)...

- Headline from 1947.
Since then we (Americans) have pretty much refuted all the arguments in favor of communism and have over and over again demonstrated the superiority of the capitalist economic system.
I'm not the least little bit worried....
