Sarcasm doesn't suit you Merlot. This was an extremely tragic case of abuse and inequality. One of many. It's so easy to say "Black lives matter "when you are seeking re-election.Same as saying" keep the immigrants out "when you've actually employed them to build your so-called empire.

Well it seems that he can be paid for . Wake up Grand.Trump turns to his 'old cast' to raise millions for 2024 and the PAC paying his legal bills. Donald Trump is turning to a group of wealthy fundraisers who have been loyal to him for years to help raise money for his campaign and assist in paying his legal bills

In short: people rule was taken over by corporate rulethrough their army of lobbyists and needs to be reinstalled.
Almost every politician in America accepts money or other goodis.
Their vote is bought.
That is the system in place.
Enter Trump: can not be bought!
Et voila! Public enemy no.1 is created.
Swallow that you naive Europeans.

Really Merlot
Read post 19 about the treatment of a black 16 year old then talk about equal rights.RE: God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
I would say it like this Merlot: someone morphed what was once a solid systemgradually over time.
Over a long time too. Still I would claim the curve of destruction (Riz..)
got steeper sometime about 30 years ago or thereabout.
So here we are and something needs to be done and at the moment there is only one cure.
Not gonna mention his name... but he's sailing under the R flag as of right now.
The D's have none pro change as they diched the few good ones they had.
There is not a question of why: the donors wants Biden as he let them steer for him.
Thanks for being a voice of reason.

The Left have had their day oz and they went astray, but who can blame those folk who are trying to turn America into a Progressive, Liberal, Far Left, Social Democratic Country in order to push their preferred lifestyle.But it's time to get back to reality. It's time to get back to making America a great Republic again, which is how it was founded and is how the Constitution was designed.
It is also a Capitalist country. It was founded on Capitalism, not Socialism or Democracy. The land of opportunity. That last sentence is lacking one word though, Equal. The reason for that is because the Constitution was designed to exclude it. Ok that wasn't a great idea to begin with but the amendments have tried to address issues like that.
So what we have is a Republic with equal rights and opportunities for all, notwithstanding 'for the greater good'.
Have I left anything out?
Oh yes, unfortunately the People don’t get to elect the President or most Members of Parliament and Judges. They only get to select the Presidential candidate. That little piece of Democracy should be ammended into the Constitution, in my opinion.
Then America would have a pretty good workshop manual.

This says it all
"Kalief Browder allegedly stole a backpack, was unable to post a $3000 bond, spent 800 days in solitary confinement," wrote artist IrishRyGirl. "Donald Trump, ripped off the NY tax payers of millions of dollars, gets bond reduced and gets to walk free.. sounds about white wealthy privilege."
Look up Kalief Browder if you want to know about his short life before he hanged himself.

Judge Engoron's summary judgement was based on the maths (Mar-a-Largo valued at $18M in one set of official documents and $1B+ in another, for example.)

This is where the whole problem originates. They have singled out Trump and are going after him.
I already explained that he has done nothing that is not part of shrewd business practices and potential market opportunities.
In the interest of equality they now need to investigate every other developer in the USA.
Looking at two sets of figures tells you that they are different, nothing more.
You cannot invent your own conclusions, which indicates either childish behaviour or nefarious intent on the part of the prosecution and the court officials.
Then we have the bloodthirsty masses cheering on the crucifixion.
And no I am not pro-Trump.
That's it, I'm out.
RE: God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
How do you know they've gone after him unfairly if you never look into anything?Okay, so Trump over-inflated the value of his properties.
For example, he said Mar-a-Largo was a social venue, rather than a residential property. All these things made Mar-a-Largo less valuable ($18-27M) so he paid less property tax.
When it came to getting loans, all of a sudden Mar-a-Largo is not only valued as if it was a home, but it was valued as if he could develop the land and build lots more homes on it (hence his claims it's worth a billion, or more.)
The banks did a certain amount of due diligence, but didn't take his business apart like a fraud investigation. They missed much of the fraud and offered Trump loans at favourable rates because he appeared to have so much to sell if he couldn't pay back the loan.
Had the banks known the full extent of the truth, they perhaps wouldn't have loaned him as much as they did and it would have been at a much higher interest rate. The favourable loan terms received meant that Trump profited more than if he'd not committed fraud.
Also, having received these loans, Trump developed other properties from which he could profit. Had he not received the loans fraudulently, he wouldn't have been able to do that.
That's just one example of what Trump did fraudulently. Judge Engoron's summary judgement was based on the maths (Mar-a-Largo valued at $18M in one set of official documents and $1B+ in another, for example.) Letitia James put so much documentary evidence in front of him, he was able to say there was widespread fraud within the Trump Organisation over a 10-15 year period.
The $354.9M original amount is just the excess money Trump gained by lying. The extra $110M is interest accrued during and after the trial. Had he admitted the fraud before it went to trial and paid the bond immediately after he wouldn't have accrued all that interest.

I have not looked in to this properly(I never do when they go after him unfairly)
but was it not just a bankloan?
Basically he was granted a larger loan than he was entiteled to,
wasn't a cash hand out as such that you never have to repay.
A loan is how i understood it.
That is why this whole thing is insane.

But in order to receive that debt forgiveness, we have to acknowledge our sin debt. And if you've never done that, you're going to have a chance to do that in just a moment. And if you have done that already, then make sure that you use this coming time of worship as an opportunity to pray. Thank God. Take communion and rejoice over the fact that your sins are forgiven. Your debt has been paid in full.
Would you bow your head? Close your eyes. Pray with me.
Father. You're a good and loving father, and we confess that. You know what is best for us? And you want what is best for us and you do what is best for us. So, Father, help us to want the same things for ourselves that you want for us. Because your heart for us is what is best. Help us to live in agreement with you. Help us to not fight against you when you're only doing what is best for us.
You're a perfect father. And so we ask that you would just forgive us for the times when we've resisted you. When you've only been acting in love for us. Father, I pray for those who are struggling right now to trust you. Father, I pray not just for a change in behavior, Lord, but for the thing that causes a change in behavior.
Father, I pray for an encounter with your goodness, with your character. Father, I pray for anyone struggling with trust right now that they would have an encounter with you. With your love, with your heart and with your character. That would make trust easy, because the more we get to know you, the more of you we see, the easier trust becomes because you are simply wonderful. You're just wonderful, Lord, so reveal yourself to us.
If you've never given your life to Jesus, if you've never asked him. To take that sin debt of yours, if you've never acknowledged that sin debt, but you want to experience the forgiveness of God. You want to be born again. You can choose to do that right now by just saying, Lord, would you come into my life?
I want you to be my God. I want you to forgive me of my sins. And I'm ready to get off the throne of my life and have you step onto it. I'm ready to have you lead my life.
If you want to make that decision right now. I'm going to pray for you in just a moment. And I want to ask you to also go to our Web site, go to my new hope that seei slash gospel, watch the gospel video there, learn more about what God has done for you and fill out the form.
Let us know you've done that so that you don't slip through the cracks so that we can follow up with you and get you going in your new relationship with Jesus. It'll be the best decision you ever made. If you've just done that, let me pray for you. Father, I thank you for anyone who's just given their life to you right now. Father, I thank you that you are moving in them, that, Jesus, you are doing a good work already.
Right now.
You're bringing healing and wholeness into their life. And father, they are beginning a completely new trajectory in their life toward wholeness, toward fulfillment, toward joy, toward peace.
Father, I thank you that you have good things in store for them. And Father, I pray that even right now, they would be overwhelmed by your great and unfailing love for them, that they would already begin to experience your peace in a radical, tangible way. We love you, Jesus. Amen

During the pandemic, some cafés refused to accept reusable cups for fear of spreading Covid-19. The use of reusable coffee cups hasn't bounced back since.According to Hannah Blumhardt of Takeaway Throwaways, research suggests that Kiwis send more than 295 million SUCs to landfills annually.
Even compostable cups are not as environmentally friendly as you might think.
"To be composted, they need to get to a specialised composting facility, which hardly any of them do," Blumhardt said.
Compostable cups, like conventional SUCs, also contain a plastic lining.
"Research has found that single-use coffee cups release billions of microplastics into the hot drink they hold."

At least 17 people were killed when their passenger van collided with a cargo truck then burst into flames on Monday in the southern Philippines, police said.Three other people were injured by the midday collision in an accident-prone road in Antipas town in Cotabato province, Antipas police chief Capt Godofredo Tupas II said.
The 10-wheel cargo truck, which was loaded with sand and gravel, was negotiating a downhill road when its brakes apparently malfunctioned and caused it to slam into the passenger van.
All but one of the 18 people onboard the van, including the driver, were killed by the impact and the flames,
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
You're acting like God doesn't exist.You're acting as though you don't have a heavenly father who takes care of you.
For your heavenly father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. I love that Jesus says, "Instead of worrying about all those things. Seek God. Live for God. And He'll take care of all those things for you." What's the solution for coveting? It's gratitude. It's contentment. It's trust in the character of the father and his generosity. Why generosity?
Because, hey, when we give, we're being like God, we're being more like that, which we were created to be. And when we're generous, we're responding to what Jesus said, which is it's more blessed to give than to receive. And the blessing of generosity is that generosity comes from the belief that I don't have to hoard because I have a father who will provide for my needs. I don't have to have the best of everything because my value comes from God and not from my stuff.
That's why one of the solutions to covering is generosity. It's giving it away, saying, hey, I'm not defined by what I have. So if God wants me to give it away, that's no problem. I don't have to hoard. I've got a father who provides for me and my identity is found in him, not in my stuff. Here in the Final Commandment, I'm going to wrap up with this. We're prompted to ask the logical question.
But how do I deal with my internal sinful desires? How do I control them? The answer, I can't. I need new desires. And those are only available through God who gives me a new spirit, his spirit that brings with it new godly life giving desires.
My old spirit, my old nature cannot be rehabilitated. It is hopeless. It is irreparable. It is death. That's why the language that Jesus used is that we need to be born again. We don't need to be rehabilitated. We need to be born again. And thank God through Jesus. We can be. I've shared this before, but I think it bears repeating the concept of bankruptcy is that a person lays out their financial situation to the court with total transparency and acknowledges the reality that they are in a situation they cannot repair themselves.
They have incurred debts that they cannot repay. Bankruptcy is a remedy for a hopeless situation. But in order to receive the remedy, you have to acknowledge the hopelessness of your situation. You and I have incurred a moral debt, a sin debt to God that we cannot repay. Our situation is hopeless. But praise God, there's a remedy available. And his name is Jesus. He stepped up and took our place. He took on all of our debt and received the punishment for it.
That should have gone to us. And in so doing, he canceled our debt, freeing us from it completely. But in order to receive that forgiveness, we have to acknowledge the debt. We have to acknowledge our hopeless situation. And that is why the Ten Commandments were given to mankind. They reveal God's perfect standard of holiness, his perfect standard of moral goodness and the law.
The Ten Commandments serve as a mirror to show us our own sinfulness, to show us the truth that we've all fallen hopelessly short of God's standards.
We've all incurred a sin debt we cannot repay. The apostle Paul said it like this. The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. This is why we love Jesus so much. He saved us. He forgave us. He canceled our debt when as he died on the cross. He cried out in Greek to tell us stye meaning. Paid in full. Paid in full. Your debt and mine was paid by Jesus.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
And those who have lived their life under the control of covetousness will cry out. I have wasted my life. I've wasted my life. Would you write this down? The greatest remedy for coveting is learning the character of our heavenly father. The greatest remedy for coveting is learning the character of our Heavenly Father. The more you know, when the moral trust him and the more you trust him, the more accessible contentment becomes.I've said before that as we grow in maturity in the Lord, two things become more and more glaringly apparent. The first is the depths of my depravity. And the second is the grand of God's grace. The longer you live as a Christian, the deeper you grow in your relationship with the Lord, it becomes shockingly obvious the depths of your own depravity, but also, oh, the grand here and the greatness of God's grace. You know, our church exists in a very unusual situation.
We reach thousands of people every month who watch our videos and listen to the messages online.
And we have a few dozen adults in our live local church. And for the first few years, I thought, God, why? Why? And then one day it really hit me. It really hit me. The penny dropped that my heavenly father knows me better than I know myself. And he knows what's best for me. You see, here's the hard truth. I don't know what would happen if this church just exploded overnight locally or if it had exploded overnight five years ago.
Maybe I'd get a massive ego and I just turn into a giant jerk and then fall in love with the money. I mean, I don't think I would. I hope I wouldn't. But again, I also know that I'm a sinner. I'm a sinner, and I would never, never put it past me to sin. And here's what I do know. God is always doing good in my life. He's always doing what is best for me.
And here's where the understanding really changes for us. That means there's a reason for what is happening in my life right now. There's also a reason for what is not happening in my life right now. And as I've gotten to know my heavenly father in a greater and deeper way, I found it easier and easier to trust him because he is wonderful. He is good. And I know I know that he loves me. I know he's doing what's best for me.
And he loves you, too. And you can trust him to. There is a reason for what is happening in your life. And there's a reason for what is not happening in your life. And I think sometimes we really wouldn't want to know what the reason is for some of the things that aren't happening in our life yet. It might be hard to hear, hey, hey, maybe you're actually still single because you're not ready. And maybe if you got married right now, you'd be divorced within three years.
None of us wants to think that. But what if that's true? And the best thing God can do for you is say, "We're going to grow those parts of you that would destroy a relationship so that when you get into it, it's going to be a blessing. You're going to prosper because I'm going to do what's best for you." Maybe God is saying, "There's some things you've got to learn before I can answer this prayer because I'm going to do what's best for you."
Coveting is the result of God saying, "This is what I want for you. This is what is best for you." and me saying, "Well, that's not what I want for me." It's rejecting the idea that God knows what's best for me. It's me telling God to get off the throne in my life because I know what's best for me. Coveting is what drove the sin of Lucifer and heaven. He coveted God's throne and the position of God Almighty. Coveting is what drove Eve to eat the apple and eat. And she coveted being her own God, becoming her own God.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
You will discover, not fulfillment. But even deeper, emptiness and meaninglessness as the worthlessness of your life's pursuits are laid bare.And like Solomon, you too will cry out vanity of vanities. All is vanity. Mark Twain answered the question, what is civilization? By saying this, a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities, a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities. That's what our civilization is. Your heavenly father loves you. And he's good. And so he desires to spare us from that pain and vanity. So he invites us to give our entire heart and soul and mind and life to loving and pursuing the only thing that truly satisfies and never disappoints himself.
He's a good God, and he doesn't want you and I to waste our lives on the meaningless. Would you write this down if I allow God's word to define success? I will be satisfied if I allow the world to define success. I will covet and never be satisfied. Now, I want to pause here and put Jesus in his rightful place in our minds as we read this next test. This is not a really, really smart man offering commentary on the meaning of life.
This is not a philosopher pondering the purpose of true wealth. This is not a life coach offering tips on how to manage your finances.
This is God in the flesh, the one who stepped into space and time but has existed for eternity outside of it.
This is the son of God who has conversed with his Heavenly Father about how the world will end one day, about what will take place when every person is judged before the throne of God.
This is the only one who has ever set foot on the earth who actually knows how this thing called Earth and the human race and Eternity are going to play out.
The only one and that one that Jesus is telling us, his disciples, this is what really matters in life and what will matter for eternity. And I hope that, as I've shared, that we're we're lifting Jesus up to the highest place of honor in our minds and our hearts and that we've gotten our hearts and souls into a pasture before the word of God, where we're saying, oh, I'm listening, Lord, I'm going to hang on every word that you say next because you're about to tell me what matters most in life and in eternity.
And so, with that posture taken, what Jesus is saying, the first thing he wants us to know is this. Jesus says, take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. Then he spoke a parable to them, saying the ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do since I have no room to store my crops? So, we said, I will do this.
I will pull down my barns and build greater. And there I will store all my crops and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink and be merry. But God said to them, for this night, your soul will be required of you. Then whose will those things be which you have provided? So is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. This man who says, I got so much stuff, I don't know what to do with it.
I know I'll tear down my current house and storage sheds and build a bigger house and a bigger garage and a bigger storage shed for all my stuff.
But none of his wealth could give him control over the fact that he was going to die that night. Find himself standing before God, where all his wealth was worthless. He couldn't take it with him. And let me tell you, it sure doesn't impress God. The folly of covering the foolishness of living a life driven by covetousness will be obvious to all of us. One second after our earthly life ends in the blink of an eye. All that stuff will be worthless.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
Do you realize that the value of anything? Is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. And what did Jesus pay for you? What did you cost him? That is your value. That is your value. One's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.When I covered something for whatever reason. What I'm really expressing is the belief that Jesus is not enough. Would you write that down? I'm expressing the belief that Jesus is not enough. Lord, I know your words says that you supply all of my needs, that you know my needs before I even ask for them and that you know me better than I know myself. So you know how to give me what's excellent for me. But despite all that, I think you're wrong.
I think this is what I need. This is what I deserve right now. Your judgment, God, of what I need is wrong, or it's I know that your word promises joy and peace and fulfillment that comes from your Holy Spirit and has nothing to do with what I do or don't have. But that's not enough for me. However, if I had this thing, it would be enough. Then I'd be happy. However I phrase it, however I frame it.
The bottom line is that covetousness is me saying to God, you're not enough for me. I also need this thing. You see, that's how Satan works in the life of believers. He gets us to take the first step toward coveting by deceiving us into believing the lie that what we need to be satisfied in life is Jesus and fill in the blank.
Jesus. And if you believe that, you'll be happy when you have Jesus. And something else. Let me tell you the truth. You are coveting whatever gets filled in that blank space. Whatever comes after the word and you're covering it. Jesus was asked Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law. Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
You ever realize that that is one heck of a command from the Lord to love him with everything we have and above everything, and God only asks us to do that for one reason? Because he is enough. Because if we love him with all our heart, all our soul and all our mind, we will have everything we need and we will be more blessed than we would be loving anything else. That's why God calls us to do that. The liar says God's not enough.
The liar says, what you really need to be happy is Jesus. And but the Lord says, no, love me with everything you have, because I'm everything that you need to be happy, to be content, to be fulfilled. And if you love me with everything you have, you will be more satisfied than you will be loving anything else. God didn't give us the Ninth Commandment for his good. He gave it for our good as a loving father.
He doesn't want us to waste our lives pursuing things he knows are empty and will not satisfy us. He doesn't want to see that happen to us. Just ask the wealthiest man who ever lived, King Solomon, who summed up his lifelong pursuit of pleasure and riches and fame by saying this when he had exhausted everything the world had to offer.
This was his summary statement of his findings. Vanity of Vanities. All is vanity. Or as the new living translation puts it, everything is meaningless. Completely meaningless. If you don't believe him, John Rockefeller said the same thing in his own way when he was one of the richest men on the planet. He was asked how much money is enough for a man? With a wry smile, he replied. Just a little more, just a little more.
Converting creates an appetite that will never be satisfied, because if you believe what the world tells you, there will always be something greater to shoot for. There will always be someone who has more. There will always be someone undeserving who has what you believe you should have. And perhaps most cruel of all, even if you reach the pinnacle, and you get it all, you have it all.
