@lionheart

I don't understand why they want yet more money.

It is such a peculiar mindset.

Because there is never enough for people like them.

It wouldn't surprise me if both of them are funneling cash separately to 'secret' (from each other) off shore accounts just in case the shit hits the fan and they have to get out of Dodge pronto, or their assets get frozen by the Feds, the IRS, or other tax authorities. Especially Melania. She probably has a 'fuck off fund' worth millions hidden somewhere. If not, she's stupid as well as greedy.

Duncin I was just about to post that. It looks like Old Trumpy is becoming a bit toxic and firms wanting to cut ties and distance themselves...

So his accountants have bailed off the sinking ship. Apart from Rudy and the Kraken, does he have lawyers any more? Ones who know what they're doing, I mean, not the ones who keep losing his attempts to sue people.

Talking about the Kraken
A federal judge has thrown out Sarah Palin's lawsuit against the New York Times because no reasonable jury could find that the paper and its editor acted with actual malice. The case involved an error in a 2017 editorial that was corrected 12 hours later.

Apparently this decision was made whilst the jury were still deliberating

Oops my mistake, Sidney Powell was the Kraken not Sarah Palin

Ah yes. The jury will carry on and then the case will be dismissed. Hmm

Almost certainly followed by an appeal, unless she doesn't have thot much money to burn.

The January 6 Committee says Giuliani will cooperate fully.

Not a very good week for Trump Grin

does the accounts thing mean the tax returns have not been filed?

Here:

'The accounting firm said the only work not completed was the filing of Trump and Melania Trump's tax returns.'

That mug baffles me: how have they managed to eliminate perspective from the design? Any mug I own makes the slogan on it look as if it were going round the mug (which it is) not flat-on to the viewer as if it were on a flat surface rather than a curved one. Josh Hawley's one looks seriously strange.

And it is hand-wash only. Not a mug worth having even if it didn't have the ugly mug on the side.

RIP PJ O'Rourke:

"the Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer and remove the crab grass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then get elected and prove it."

@purplesequins

does the accounts thing mean the tax returns have not been filed?
"Tax Day" here is 15 April. However, it is not unusual for 'high earners' to request an extension, although they do have to pay 'estimated' taxes before 15/4.

I found their 'wording' very interesting. Statements 'not to be depended upon' or whatever. Where do they get the information upon which to base their accounts? Duh...Doofus and his gang of financial card sharps. I guess they didn't want to come out and say "You fed us a pack of financial lies". Either that or they're wholly complicit. And considering the calibre of Doofus' associates, I'd say the latter is most likely AND Doofus has 'something' that makes it look like they suggested the shenanigans.

[quote lionheart]This is new.

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sandy-hook-families-reach-settlement-gunmaker-remington-rcna16274?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma[/quote]
This settlement is the first of its kind. Gun Manufacturers have faced lawsuits for faulty weapons, but this is the first time they have been held responsible for the marketing of a weapons, in this case that they 'targeted' at risk young men via 'product placement in video games.

It is important to note that the weapon itself (AR15) was NOT the focus of the lawsuit, but the marketing thereof. It doesn't provide legal grounds for banning them altogether. I just wish it did.

Hasn't Remington filed for bankruptcy? Or did I mishear that on the news a couple of days ago...

AcrossthePond55 · 17/02/2022 17:03

Again? They've filed for bankruptcy twice already (2018 and 2020). It 'restructured' in the 2018 bankruptcy and was actually sold off in pieces in the 2020 bankruptcy, but that didn't absolve the (former) company from liability based on the 2015 lawsuit.

What's interesting to me is that individuals normally have to wait between 4-6 years before filing bankruptcy again. Businesses have no such restrictions.
