Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Only banned for 3 years though...
And only banned from serving as an officer or director. Engoron cancelled the dissolution order, so he keeps his real estate holdings and his ownership interests.
That’s just wrong.
Yep, it's not like whoever works for his companies isn't going to take direction from him, regardless of whether he has a title or draws a salary.
Honestly, the whole ruling is utter bullshit based on both the amount of fraud and Trump and his lawyer's behavior in court.
Contempt charges should have been made.
Absolutely. And if this were someone who wasn't Trump, they probably would have.
He’ll either be dead, hiding out in Russia or Saudi Arabia, or president by then.
Maybe prison
Please and thank you.
I don't know if Russia or Saudi Arabia will protect him once he is no longer a useful idiot.
He's a cult leader. As long as he's alive and has a platform, he's useful for destabilizing the US.
Dead, he'll be a martyr to MAGA. I think the best hope is demographics, MAGA will age out.
Trump is too much of a narcissist to be grooming his eventual successor. Which means that when he finally shucks off his flabby mortal coil, there's going to be a power grab for control of the cult and they usually don't survive that. Everyone from his children to Marjie Traitor Greene is going to claim they're the heir to the MAGAt movement.
Sure, but it soon be reaching a bit when MAGAs are dying of old age faster than new MAGAs are created.
It really should be permanent based on the scope of fraud.
3 years might be long enough to let the big macs catch up to him
That’s close to lifetime for him.
But not for his kids. And they'll get to keep Trump Tower in the family.
but will they really? one, I can see A. LOT. more massive fines being applied here. he owes nearly a half BILLION in fines and penalties now.
two, he's no longer nominally in charge. if the monitor says assets need to be sold assets are getting sold.
and three, being banned by new york from being on or running/owning any corporation is not an insignificant matter. in fact, it would say quite a bit if a company did associate with them after the penalty has expired. "junior and eric trump defrauded new york out of millions of dollars five years ago. you want to hire them on? what if they do that to us?". were this in a state like wyoming or north dakota where no one lives and no one really cares it would be one thing. but this is in probably the financial capital of country, if not the world. being banned from doing business in a place where business is constantly happening is bad, and people will remember that.
