The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LurkerMom: What has Trump been found guilty of by a Court of Law other than the constant harping of what the left thinks he is guilty of?

bighairymike: Ouch! What a scathing and irrefutable rebuttal to conservative attempts to defend Trump by pointing out that Trump has not yet been convicted.

Say what, now?

A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House.

So, one trial: Trump was found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers.

When Trump tried to have the jury award reduced because he had not been found to have "raped" E. Jean Carroll, the judge explained that the definition of rape was "far narrower" than how rape is defined in common modern parlance, in some dictionaries, and in some federal and state criminal statutes and elsewhere.

In fact, the judge wrote, the verdict did not mean that Carroll "failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.' Indeed ... the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that."

Second trial: two Trump Organization companies were found guilty on multiple criminal tax fraud charges.

A Manhattan jury has found two Trump Organization companies guilty on multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records connected to a 15-year scheme to defraud tax authorities by failing to report and pay taxes on compensation for top executives.

The Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp. were found guilty on all charges they faced.

Trial three: The New York attorney general has accused Trump of lying to lenders and insurers by fraudulently overvaluing his assets by billions of dollars. The judge overseeing the case has ruled that the former president had persistently committed fraud and what remains is to determine "what penalty the former president must pay and whether he will be in essence evicted from the world of New York real estate that made him famous."
