Judge orders Trump, DOJ to justify why president's $10B IRS lawsuit should proceed

“Narcissist? No, nicestist.”

Whatever cavity he is trying to fill, apparently no amount of money can ever satisfy it. I think he has pilfered $9 billion just this year alone. For what? Nothing can fix this dude.

Thats fascism for you! Simultaneously the strongest, smartest, best person ever, but also constantly under attack from lesser people, who arent a big deal. Except they are! They lie and cheat and they'll take over if you don't donate your life savings to the ~~lawyers fees~~ cause!"

Yeah what's his damages lol? He got elected president. This hardly harmed him.

“Nicest” has a more appropriate anagram. And by that standard he is also a “dope” guy.

They say to me, “Sir..” with tears in their eyes - and these are big tall strong men, American man, some of them strong military men who fought in illegal wars under Hussein Obama, terrible, illegal, and saw terrible illegal things, awful things, which, by the way, I ended, eight wars I ended they didn’t think it could be done but it cools and I did it, eight of them in a row, and they don’t give me the Nobel prize, and these men didn’t cry then at these awful terrible wars but now they say to me, and they’re crying and it’s beautiful big, American tears - and they say, “Sir, we haven’t seen a president as nice as you.” And I don’t know about you but, I’d agree with them on that one. Nobody loves or has done more for the American people in the history of this country. “Sir”, they say, “You really are the nicest.” And I don’t know but that’s what people are telling me. *MAGA: omg such a real man so brave so intelligent that’s my guy let’s gooooo Brandon I’m so tired of winning!!*

Non-existent audits

_technically_ the $1000 is the minimum per [26 U.S. Code § 7431 (c)(1)(a&b)](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/7431) >(c)Damages In any action brought under subsection (a), upon a finding of liability on the part of the defendant, the defendant shall be liable to the plaintiff in an amount equal to the sum of— >(1)the greater of— >(A)$1,000 for each act of unauthorized inspection or disclosure of a return or return information with respect to which such defendant is found liable, or >(B)the sum of— >(i)the actual damages sustained by the plaintiff as a result of such unauthorized inspection or disclosure, plus >(ii)in the case of a willful inspection or disclosure or an inspection or disclosure which is the result of gross negligence, punitive damages, plus >(2)the costs of the action, plus >(3)in the case of a plaintiff which is described in section 7430(c)(4)(A)(ii), reasonable attorneys fees, except that if the defendant is the United States, reasonable attorneys fees may be awarded only if the plaintiff is the prevailing party (as determined under section 7430(c)(4)). Now this also states the statute of limitations is 2 years _of the date of discovery by the plaintiff_ which is going to be hard to argue wasn't immediate.

The audacity of asking for $10 billion dollars as if he was even remotely harmed is sheer comedy, especially in the wake of many other Republican MAGA politicians ensuring that there are very tight legal limits to what you can sue for even when you are horrifically harmed (or outright killed).

>because this wouldn't get past any judge outside of a certain district in Florida While true, that isn't why he's settling. He's settling because he thinks its an infinite money glitch he's just "discovered". Plus a full lawsuit would mean discovery and he'd have to disclose personal info which would pull the curtain back on his lie of seeming successful

That he agreed with the City of Pslm Beach *couldn't* be used as a residence. On top of everything else, he is voting illegally in Florida...by mail.

That was something else. You’re talking about the falsification of business records case, that would be an example of another time he should’ve faced consequences and got away with it.

That judge should've sentenced him to prison with the sentence suspended until after his presidency. Had him report to prison at 3 PM on January 20th, 2029 (3 PM giving him enough time to be dragged out of the Oval Office and forced on a plane by the Secret Service)

He wasn't even sentenced to even a single day of jail, the judge gave him an unconditional discharge. He received no punishment at all.

The answer to “what’s next”is why we have procedures. We know that people with badges are supposed to show up and drag him to prison. Happens all the time. The illusion is that the situation is any different.

10 Billion is also how much he said he's going to sue the BBC for. It's probably just his latest favourite word/phrase that he repeats thinking the huge figure will make his opponents crumble, no matter how ridiculous he sounds.
