This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I struggle with the New York Case by OrangeJubilee
I am not a Trump defender and think he is a terrible businessman and person in general, buuuut ...
The claim against him was for fraudulent business records, leading him to get better loans and insurance rates. But neither the lenders nor the insurers were suing him (and I think one big lender said they were doing the deal with or without his claims). Doesn't someone need to be defrauded in order for some to commit fraud? It does seem like the weird NY law they found really makes no sense.
Does NY prosecute every SEC registrant that has a restatement due to fraud?
It seems to me a case of once again hurting the overall narrative (things like the Georgia manipulation) by just throwing up marginal issues to take him to court.
