I’ll bring sage. Others will need to bring some too. It’ll take a lot of sage to cleanse it. ☮️

Hi Joan, exactly! We are thinking alike on this… I just posted (before reading what you have posted here) about needing a bale of sage and many hands to do a full cleansing 🩷 my first thought was “we need to do a cleansing.” Innfact, we should burn white sage, if any of us go to the women’s march in DC in August.

"I said some things about him — not nearly as bad as I could have said ... but I just talked about him not being a self-made man, having money from his father, and saying he went bankrupt — and it made him go berserk," she told The Daily Beast this week. "He went on a tirade for a good decade that hasn’t ended today."

Yes, Joy Behar on The View mentioned recently that she had never seen Trump so bezerk as when Rosie O’ Donnell said those things about him. Joy said he only loses it when someone suggests he’s not as rich as he says.

I've thought about Mar A Lago and the possibility he'd have to sell but never heard anyone talk about it. This would destroy him, it's his symbol of "success". His "proof", in his mind that he belongs among the extremely wealthy Palm Beach residents. Losing it means losing all of that. It means LOSER to him. The worst thing he could be.

Thanks Mary! Your amazing!

Jennifer, he transferred it to Don Junior, when Jack Smith filed charges against him in the Florida documents case (August 2023). However, there is a federal statute against hiding assets when you have a court case that could result in filing liens against those properties. So that transfer will be found to be not legal. Just thought I’d bring that up.

Surely, his attorneys advised him, but he doesn’t pay attention to his attorneys and it could’ve been when he was in a gap.: Before he paid the $3 million in advance to Kise.

I saw a post here on the stack that said the property hadn’t been sold and if that’s true no money changed hands. It was a change of title and someone pulled a copy of the deed transfer and posted it online. I believe it showed that there were some underlying mortgages. It could’ve been a fraudulent post but it certainly looked legitimate. There’s money owed on that property, according to tgat post. It’s a matter of doing a title search on the property record/address.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if that's true.

Well, if he has to sell he's going to be very disappointed since he thinks it's worth 10 times what it's truly worth. I think his "math" makes worth a billion dollars 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hum...don't you think that Donald's children will pay for everything? I am not in the court system, so I am not aware of how it works, but anyone can pay the fine? Is that right? His Saudi buddy has enough money to purchase New York, right? Well, didn't I read somewhere that Donald was a billionaire? Is that also a lie? What did he do with all the money the countries sent to all his businesses? Surely he has a savings account. Oh my goodness, I have forgotten about the Trumpers, they will send him the money.

Expand full comment

His oldest two sons are screwed due to the NY fraud case as well I believe. And it seems like Ivanka can't stay far enough away from him.

Yes, anyone can pay but we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars and not being able to do business in NY again. He'll have to start selling assets an he doesn't have has many as people think. In many cases Trump licensed his name to things...but he doesn't own the thing.

I think Trump was able to look like a billionaire by inflating assets, which he's been found guilty of and who knows what other underhanded tricks he pulled. He's a professional con man, a grifter and a liar so nothing he says can be believed.

His supporters will send money, money and more money to his campaign and whatever schemes he can come up with but his legal fees, fines etc will be astronomical. I also think Mar A Lago is not a money maker. If it breaks even I'd be surprised. If he goes to jail that's an entirely different set of problems.

Look Trump is never going to be poor but I do think his wealth will dwindle considerably. Enough that he won't be able to maintain the lifestyle he's accustomed to and I can only hope it's worse than that. He's scammed so many people he doesn't deserve to live like he does, he deserves to be bankrupt. Crossing my fingers 🤞

We've no way of knowing how many dollars are 'hidden' by various legal and / or illegal means - know what I mean ? What is likely is that his "reach" may diminish; especially if we make sure that broadcasters realize that "WE" know that OiD and the gop leadership are 'playing them like a free fiddle', deriving camera and microphone air time for their re-election for free - since the broadcasters are footing the bills for them, gratis. I spent some time in politics; it was a common ploy for candidates to say outrageous things, including total falsehoods, adopting nutty nick names, etc. Reason: people won't forget your name if their always talking about you, for good or bad. We used to call that a "whisper campaign.' It works.

Expand full comment

TY - and sorry… I tried to Google, but I am not familiar with the OiD. Could you please tell me what that means. Trump defines outrageous. He defines illegitimate, immoral, and many other things. I know we are all working so hard to expose his lies.

I just learned that the GOP in Nevada made quite a big mistake because they they informed Trump‘s campaign that they would not put him on the ballot if he was on the primary ballot. So they didn’t put him on the primary and had him on the caucus. Then the Democrat legislators went in and successfully pushed a new law through that abolished the caucus . by then, Trump was not on the primary ballot. Of course, there is no secret about this (part of the legislation session) but Trump‘s campaign missed it. Therefore, he is not on the primary ballot for Nevada. That ballot sans Trump, is being mailed out later this month and he won’t be on it. If they just keep shooting themselves in the foot…… Nevada is blue, regardless of what Trump says, Las Vegas and Reno are Blue and the rural areas are red, but the major population is in Reno and Las Vegas.

Thank you so much,

Lol ! "OiD" is my pet name for tfg (DJT, 'the former guy'. No doubt you've heard of Benito Mussolini ? Very charismatic, self assured, all the right 'airs' about himself, yet was a consummate people manipulator. As he rose to power, he adopted a nickname to further his heroic stature performance. He adopted "il Duce" - translated from Italian it means 'The Leader or The Boss'. From the ancient Roman, it was a Roman officer in command of 2 legions or more of soldiers. iL Duce flim flamed / swindled a large 'appearing' portion of the populace of Italy to 'follow him only' because he "knew" the way out of their miseries from post WW1 and the Great depression. Every time he gained a follower or two, his PR people made it seem like 'legions' and that folks best get on his growing bandwagon; and it grew and grew, based more on the "get on the bandwagon early" or get left behind - or worse. As you may know, those are all logic fallacies and tools of tyrants. Well, I dubbed tfg "The Orange iL Duce" - hence 'OiD'. There, you have it.

PS: Micki, but the interest on the 2 billion is not trivial.

Dems are making huge errors by not filing lawsuits vs obvious breaches of conduct, etc. - including "Obstruction" of government entities like the Postal Service, etc. For example, that nut case holdover that Biden needs to find cause to fire; he singlehandedly "knee-capped" the postal service that had just invested tons of money to make themselves more competitive - remember ?

He was a joke at the one and only G7 he attended in Canada. He crossed his arms and went into a snit over tariffs with Canada. Angela Merkel did a stare down with him and Trump left. He didn’t attend a single G7 after that. He attended one G20 in Germany in 2018, following which he then headed to Helsinki to meet with Putin (breaking established protocol by only allowing a translator to attend). In 2019, he attended a South American G20 where he intended to meet with Putin. His minders talked him out of it (because of optics). He golfed throughout the next G20 in Japan. And refused to attend a single session of the last one (held in Riyadh , Saudis Arabia but because it was online (COVID lockdown) he couldn’t grandstand and get his picture taken, so he went golfing at his own golf course for that last one in 2020. Biden had to repair all the international damage Trump did to us. By the way, Trump, very proudly said “I get along very well with the dictators.” Of course he does. But he shouldn’t wear that like a badge. Where is Madeline Albright when we need her?

Yes Kevin! I posted that on aJoyce Vance’s substract when he was indicted in June 2023 - and suggested it again tonight before reading your post.

Passing the law of Equal Rights is the first step. Who gave men the idea that we women are their property? I don't get it. I was in hell with a so called man who loved me. Love does not hurt, kill, or mentally abuse.

I see that in some movies they teach that it is okay to abuse women. Not okay.

I also heard that 4 men decide what will be on Television, Movies and such.

If that is true, who are they and who gave them this power? Making people of color look bad. Unacceptable. People watch a movie and believe as it is real.

Great idea! A Veteran's Home to get them healed and a way to start over. They can be taught how to play golf.

Let's go with that one. I remember seeing a photo of a veteran outside our Capitol in a wheel chair with no place to go in the snow. Heart breaking. Too many veterans were injured in the war and became addicted on the pain killers. Some ended up in prisons.

What in the world..... How can any of our veterans not be given free Rehabilitation to get them off the drugs before releasing them into society where they are vulnerable

Thank you Joyce Marie. I fully agree and poetic justice given that heel spurs had six deferments, so that he wouldn’t have to go to the military.

all of them, including Mar-a-Lago, have been put under receivership since the New York fraud trial. Period. They all get divided up according to what the receiver says.

Expand full comment

I did some research on receivership in New York. The goal of receivership is to safeguard the property while the trial is going on. When the trial is over the owner receives at least some control over the property's disposition. If a bankrupt person owes a million, and has property worth more than a million, it would be tyranny to dictate which of the property must be sold to satisfy a debt.

Expand full comment

Thank you Kathleen. Since I’m not an attorney, I may be using the wrong term for what the judge determined for the property. There is some kind of a word that they have determined what properties are to be on the list. I thought it was receiver ship, and I’ve only heard that used in bankruptcy. I may be incorrect about the word, but I think it’s a way to keep those properties from being sold while the court case is going on. Also, he has to report any financial s made, such as check writing over a certain amount. I was a little bit surprised to see the Scotland property on the list. But that is something I googled and found sometime ago. I was curious to see what he had for assets because the E. Jean Caroll trial was set for January 2024. I haven’t looked at that website since last November.

Expand full comment

All of the properties owned by the Trump Corporation would be on that list. Receivership can happen both in bankruptcy and in any kind of large-scale business lawsuit. The point is to prevent A business's assets from being sold, given away, or damaged before the bankruptcy or business lawsuit is concluded. The goal is to preserve the value of the business until the lawsuit is concluded— after that point, I am sure that trump will have to submit a plan to pay off the judgment against him.

It also seems obvious that he has more in assets than Letitia James is demanding. I think he will have to sell many properties, but not all. I will be shocked if Trump does not include Mar-a-Lago among the properties that he will hang on to.

Expand full comment

Thanks Kathleen. Indeed, I’m quite sure that the word is receivership. And there were properties listed such as one called seven Springs I think in New York, and of course, Trump Towers and Mara Largo. I don’t believe I saw the New Jersey golf course on there. But of course he owns that because he buried Ivana there.

Yep, And the laws cover also the case of having properties in other states. For example, the receiver in the New York fraud case has counted Mar-a-Largo as among all of his properties. One cannot hide assets when a court case is pending or due to be filed, because there is a federal statute that covers properties in other states as well. So transferring to Junior did not accomplish anything as far as saving Mara Largo.

He signed it to Don Junior, in June 2023. . However, it is still listed under the receivership from the New York fraud trial, because there is a federal statute that you cannot hide assets when you have a possible lien from a pending court case. So it begs the question whether his attorneys informed him of that or whether he was just between attorneys at the time, and he took his own advice as he usually does.
