A similar test with 3-5 questions put to the MAG@s on this thread has already been flunked multiple times. They seem to have no knowledge of the things they think they are against.
The cases were lawfare. I don't care that he labeled payments to a lawyer as "legal fees". Nor do I (nor the alleged "victim" - Deutsche Bank) care about the property valuation sham case.
The cases were not "lawfare." You and others have been asked repeatedly to explain or elaborate or to even make one intelligent, substantive comment as how the Indictments or court filings below constitute "lawfare" or are in any way bogus, sham, frivolous, fabricated, false or even erroneous. You have all failed.
Also, as an FYI aside, your comment above displays a large degree of self-important stupidity. It is irrelevant whether you care that Trump labeled payments from his business organization to his hookers as "legal fees." The voters of the state of New York, through their elected representatives, care about false business records so in 1986 they enacted a law making that a crime in various circumstances. I'd bet that a lot of states have such laws. NORMAL people think it's bad when other people fudge stuff up in business and commerce. Go pull a stunt like Trump did at your job if you don't believe me.

Stop being a primadonna. Nobody wanted anybody dead, and there was never a Republican dictate, nor cough, cough, mandate. A large majority of those people were extremely overweight with metabolic syndrome, making them sitting ducks as that was a known vulnerability to Covid. They should've been vaccinated, fatties with metabolic syndrome, you'll get no argument from me or anyone really. But, we still had effective therapies for those who couldn't or wouldn't.
Impressive that the only thing you could respond to was natural immunity. However, for those who did, in fact, cultivate it, like myself and family and friends, it should've been recognized by our Democratic leadership, instead of trotting out stupid and narrow studies like the one in Kentucky trying to suggest breakthrough infection was far more common in the unvaccinated. Just dumb.
you are moving the goalposts
the discussion is on covid and what was the right approach to saving lives.
clearly, indisputably, inarguably, the Dem approach of mass vaccinations was better than the R pushback against vaccinations.
We have the data.
Pre-vaccine, Rs and Ds died at similar rates.
Post-vaccine, after being told by their leaders they didn't have to get vaccinated, the Rs died at far higher rates than Ds.
You can't spin that. It's a long empirical experiment with actual lives at stake. And it's finished. The vaccination path was better.

So, what you seem to be saying is that, when it comes to 90% of Americans, their deaths not only don't matter, but their deaths simply don't count at all.
Interesting viewpoint
Yes. It's just like "gun violence". 54% are suicides, while 43% are murder - the vast majority of which is gang violence. If neither of those apply to you, the US is virtually as safe as any country in the world.

actually there's truth to what f'ck joe biden is saying here.
eliminate suicide and essentially urban african american gun violence...and the US isn't so different in terms of gun deaths than its peers. We're worse, but not a huge amount worse.
And part 2 is that it's almot all handguns. AR15s are not the problem...pistols are the major killer of Americans.

And somehow that's connected to the points of discussion that fjb was responding to?
agip: "ok I'll bite why not
covid killed 1.2 million people in the US and 1.3 million in Europe.
Let's hear your view of why COVID wasn't a widespread deadly disease. AND KEEP IN MIND ALWAYS THAT REPUBLICANS DIED IN FAR HIGHER PROPORTIONS THAN DEMOCRATS AFTER THE VACCINES CAME OUT. BECAUSE TRUMPIES ARE IDIOTS AND REFUSED TO GET VACCINATED.
I must be some kind of masochist to even talk to you about this. But's let's hear it."
fjb: "70% of Americans are obese / overweight. Of the remaining 30%, a TON are unhealthy as well. According to a BMI calculator I found, at my height of 5'11, 178 pounds is the upper edge of normal weight, and 214 is at the edge of obesity. But clearly 178 pounds for someone 5'11" is overweight. So maybe only 10% of Americans are actually healthy."
Real Obvi: "So, what you seem to be saying is that, when it comes to 90% of Americans, their deaths not only don't matter, but their deaths simply don't count at all.

Cohen did that. Not Trump
A case of mistaken identity, eh?
I suppose if you wanted to be a real fvcking idiot about it, you could say Deborah Tarasoff did it all. Fortunately, for all of us, American law doesn't operate according Catch-22 rules.
By the way, you are a prominent member of the group that I identified above. More than anyone else, you have displayed a complete inability to explain or elaborate or to even make one intelligent, substantive comment as how the Indictments or court filings I linked constitute "lawfare." You have a legacy of failures going back years now.
In 2004, Hegseth married his first wife, Meredith Schwarz, who was his high school girlfriend from Minnesota; they divorced in 2009 after he admitted to five affairs.[8][102] In 2010 he married his second wife, Samantha Deering; they have three sons. In August 2017, while still married to Samantha, Hegseth had his daughter Gwen[103][104] with Fox executive producer Jennifer Rauchet.[24] In September 2017, Samantha filed for divorce, which took ten months to finalize.[104][105]Hegseth and Rauchet, who has three young children from her first marriage,[106] married on August 16, 2019.[107]

You are quite uninformed.
Cohen was the CFO and was stealing from Trump and committing a myriad of crimes.
"In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign-finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud.
Cohen said he violated campaign-finance laws at Trump's direction."

False.
Death rates were higher among Democrats pre-vaccine because COVID primarily affected cities in the early pandemic. Post vaccine, death rates were higher among Republicans because many Democrats already had acquired immunity from their previous exposure. Old people should have taken the vaccine. Young people, not so much.

any way you spin it, the lack of vaccination among republicans caused them to die off at much higher rates than Dems. And somehow they maintain that they had the right idea. Degenerates.
it was a lack of vaccination that killed the Republicans at a much higher rate.
“The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available,” the study says.
"In counties where a large share of the population is getting vaccinated, we see a much smaller gap between Republicans and Democrats," said Jacob Wallace, an author of that study and an assistant professor of health policy at the Yale School of Public Health.

Maybe you’re not putting it clearly enough. Let me try: The dumbf*** Trumpers died a lot more. The adults died a lot less.

Total Nonsense. You've got false data if any at all. Many young athletes have died at alarming rates, you've got to be a moron to not except that.

Imagine all of the Trumpers who knew an unvaccinated person who died of Covid and STILL had a Trump sign in their yard last month.

This does NOT hold water for BY COUNTY data, as presented above.
And the data presented above is very consistent with what one might expect: High vaccination county with at least slightly more sane Republicans (picture affluent suburbs) has small R/D death delta. Rural county with the most embarrassing collection of Trumper Republicans, large delta.

Question: If you “flyover” a state that is largely filled with counties that went 70-90% for Trump (both times), is ok to mock it as a “flyover state”?
Answer: Yes. Of course it is.
Many of us used to love your countryside and nice little towns. Too bad you wrecked it (at least somewhat).
