Democrats in New York changed the law to allow people to sue in civil court over matters of sexual assaults far outside the statute of limitations, and then found someone to sue Trump. Democrats in New York charged Trump with exaggerating the size and worth of his properties when applying for bank loans that he paid back. Courts have now levied civil fines on Trump of nearly half-a-billion dollars in all. And in New York, you have to post a bond of the entire judgment plus ten percent before the courts will even allow you to appeal the verdict. So whether guilty or innocent of the crimes in question, Trump has to pay over half-a-billion dollars before he can even ask for another day in court. This seems excessive to me.
The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of these United States of America
“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
In United States v. Bajakajian in 1998, the Supreme Court said “The touchstone of the constitutional inquiry under the Excessive Fines Clause is the principle of proportionality: The amount of the forfeiture must bear some relationship to the gravity of the offense that it is designed to punish.”
In Rhodes v. Chapman in 1981, the Supreme Court said “[c]onditions [in prison] must not involve the wanton and unnecessary infliction of pain, nor may they be grossly disproportionate to the severity of the crime warranting imprisonment.”
Today is Super Tuesday, the day where many State political parties traditionally vote for who they want to represent them in the Presidential race. Just remember that the campaign is probably going to be one of the biggest ever. The Democrats have already banked hundreds of millions of dollars in cash on hand and purchased ad buys. And at the same time they are seeking to confiscate hundreds of millions of dollars from the leading Republican candidate in the form of civil fines. And at the same time they are trying to put him in jail via criminal charges. This is going to be a very interesting campaign. Pick your candidates well, if you think you can.
It was my birthday over the weekend, and I had an amazing one. Friends came over to eat good and play games. And I really do have the best friends. They gave me coupons for dog grooming and free self-serve doggy baths, because they know I’m the hairiest being on my city block. They got me video games and Legos, both of which are absolutely relevant to my interests. And I had an amazing time all weekend with them all. It’s the best birthday bash I’ve had in years, and I absolutely loved it. A good time was had by all. I’d like to thank everybody who came over, and everybody who sent me birthday wishes. You really made my day.
When the Second Great Depression brought down the Western World, and their foreign aid programs, everyone expected South America to fall entirely under the influence of China and/or Russia. Brazil joined them in creating the old BRICS money system fighting the American dollar of the time for global supremacy after all. The final collapse of the American dollar should have set the stage for a new economic hegemony, but China and Russia focused on their dreams of empire in their own neighbors. That left Brazil and the other South American nations to fend for themselves. And since most of their economies were based on either getting aid from foreign nations or selling things to foreign nations, that did not go well for them for a time. South America fell hard.
