I don't know enough about the author of this piece, since nowadays one often has to question the motivation of the author, but this article is very well written.

Is it a concern of the author along the lines of: "yeah, it was great fun taunting MAGA and fulfilling fever dream fantasies, but now confronted with the reality of what may happen we may have taken a bridge too far"?

Or...
A warning?

Thoughts? My only thought at the moment is that we may see a huge exodus of businesses out of New York State. Although I would love to see a response more like the Mel Gibson character from 'Ransom'......

It is more likely that President Trump will win and the judges and persecutors will be the big losers.

It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.

Let this sink in.

If that happens every real estate investor innNew York needs to close up shop and move to a red state because once those greedy Dems figure out they can confiscate someone’s assets like this no one is safe, even big shot Dems.

Im with you - I doubt Trump ever ends up paying for any of this.... but I think were living in dreamland if we expect the corrupt judiciary and prosecutors to be held accountable by anyone. Its a sad state of affairs.

in 1948 New York had 47 electoral votes (45 representatives and two senators.

It now has 28 electoral votes (26 representatives and two senators).

After the 2030 census, it will likely have about 20-22 electoral votes.

So let them keep this shit up. New York City is returning to the cesspool it was in the 1970’s, before people like Trump made it what it was in the 1980’s.

It’ll be a city that once was, with very tall empty buildings.

Exactly, I'd like Hunter's sugar daddy to pay this bill.

Trump may “win”, again, but I’d be shocked if he is ever allowed to be president again. Remember, leftists control the ballot volume and flow.

Here's the ugly truth, wealth (like money) is a social construct.

While tangible assets usually make up a sizable amount of one's wealth, the social rules which allow an individual to claim them are made up by the greater society through government.

So you are only wealthy when others let you be so, meaning you have to play by the rules that those who actually run things enforce.

The cardinal sin both Trump and Musk have committed are unorthodox thought, and they are paying dearly for it.

“After the 2030 census, it will likely have about 20-22 electoral votes.”

I don’t think the Marxists care ...

since I bet they don’t think that it will take that much longer for them to completely fulfill their agenda.

The ruling will be designed to generate headlines. Expect the worst.

How does the court have the right to do this in a private transaction where neither side of the transaction is the plaintiff? No lender that I’m aware of has filed suit against Trump. It seems to me the prosecutor, who is known to be anti-trump and ran on that platform, has the right to say: “I don’t like you so I’m taking you to court.” In what Universe is this acceptable?

“I don’t like you so I’m taking you to court.”

It's basically "I don't like you, so I'm taking everything you own."

The Soviet-style show trials should enrage everyone with half a clue.

This is more about the office of the POTUS than anything else.

This judge is an idiot.

I expect the worst possible outcome.

I also think it will be struck down, the judge and prosecutors to be disbarred.

Anyone filling out a Personal Financial Statement to present to the Bank for a loan could be guilty. Depends on your Social Credit Score whether you are credible.
