Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

So, if anybody thinks they might like to buy it on the cheap....

Just remember, you'll never get the smell out.

Bulldoze it, and turn it into a wetland preserve. He'd have a heart attack

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was thinking, homeless shelter. there's lots of ways to make him rot more inside. (he's already dead inside....heh)

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

He fancies himself a "real estate developer. This would be undoing all "development"

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm thinking a secured document storage facility

Is it possible to get orange makeup out of a white pillow case?

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but good luck getting all the Russian and Chinese listening devices out of MaL.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Why would I let his kids stay?

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

Don't forget to patch up the eyeholes also.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Might be easier to replace.

but you could try making a paste with baking soda, scrubbing that into the spots (the whole thing?), and then with a stiff brush scubbing vinegar in. Make sure to wear some form of gloves (I'd recommend the heavy latex gloves for scrubbing toilets.).

The two will break down, so don't mix them together before using. (as usual mixtures online... they tend to break down into a less-acidic version of vinegar.) as used here, the idea isn't to make a super-cleanser from two already-good cleansers- you use one to scrub in and get to stuff, and then use the other. The foaming action from the reaction helps lift greases and stains out of the fibers, though.

alternatively, just scrub with hydrogen peroxide, which as a heavy oxidizer is great at attacking organic stains.

That's pretty sound advice for cleaning a multitude of linen related oopsies.

[–] spaceghoti@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago

Fire is very effective at erasing a multitude of sins. Even without the gaudy buildings, the property itself is still worth a nice sum.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but u get free government classified documents in every bathroom!!!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They ended that deal. Now it’s just free Russian spies pretending to be hookers.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing gets the smell of cheetos out of the decor.

[–] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't forget the Russian perfume and cologne.

Yeah, we could go even darker but I didn't want to ruin anyone's night. It's a dark place.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 63 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ll believe it when I see it. And god damn do I hope to see it

[–] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm team sinkhole personally

I read this an hour ago but AI finally came through.

Lock him the fuck up. May he live another decade in unbearable shame. Abandoned by his kids, his whore. Pallid and bald, his bloated countenance contrasting sharply against his orange jumpsuit. Trump must be destroyed.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Orange is the new orange.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This fuck needs to lose everything...EVERYTHING!

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well he won’t take it with him. But I’d prefer he be alive to see it disappearing.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Use it to house refugees and asylum seekers

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What the fuck did they do to deserve that?

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Gotta agree. That's DeSantis's fiefdom, and he can sink into the Gulf, as far as I'm concerned.

He’s also likely lose his NY properties. I wonder where he’d end up.

Ya know, until he ends up in jail, hehe…

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

It's probably ruined by now, orange paint all over everything. McDonald's wrappers in the bushes. Top secret documents clogging the drains.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Donald Trump has placed himself at further risk of losing control of properties such as his Mar-a-Lago resort following his testimony in the New York civil fraud trial, according to an attorney.

Trump is accused by New York Attorney General Letitia James of filing fraudulent financial records for years which inflated the value of his properties and assets in order to obtain favorable bank loans and tax breaks.

Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the civil trial in New York, has already ruled that Trump had committed fraud by misrepresenting the value of his properties for years.

Trump faces being banned from doing business in New York state, having his properties removed from his control or being forced to pay a fine totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.

During the proceedings, Trump has frequently claimed the Mar-a-Lago resort is worth significantly more than the $18 million valuation given by appraisals based on its restricted use as a social club.

Reacting to the testimony, Gallina said that the New York attorney general office's lawyers managed to play into Trump's ego to get him to admit details which were key to their case.

Now there's an eviction notice I would love to see spreading across the internet lol

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol this piece of shit will serve no time, lose no assets and run for fucking president again because our country is a goddamn joke.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

That's not what's happening. His assets are already in the process of being sold off by the person who was appointed his Special Monitor, and it's going to take time to gather and sell it all.

His NY fraud trial is now purely to determine punitive damages, i.e. money he has to pay as punishment on top of that.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

My schadenfreude would be off the charts.

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

lol he’d be so incredibly salty
