36. Who is this man of straw of whom you speak?

Sep 2023

Was there someone on DU somewhere who said the court had seized every last asset of Trump Org?

That would clearly be a silly thing, and thank god you are here to call it out (even for those of us who did not see this "every last asset" assertion)!

So if you're offering a corrective for some extremist position, well, bully!

But really. This is a major development. It is a major win for James. It really does dissolve the Trump business entities.

So what is it that compels you to pretend that this is no big deal?

Or to lecture the lesser mortals?
