It just keeps the existing base riled up and according to recent polls it looks like he's gaining ground with the black and hispanic vote. Lawsuits like this one will backfire on the Dems in my opinion and I also think that it moves the needle for some of the undecided voters that are just sick of this stupidity.
How many times has a political party brought suits like this stinker against a candidate for POTUS? I'm glad you're thankful to Obama for encouraging this type of lawfare but we all know you wouldn't be so giddy if this was going the other direction. Anyone who celebrates this type of politics is just being short sighted and straight up partisan. This crap isn't good for any of us and it needs to stop.
New York Attorney General Letitia James’s use of lawfare to take down
Donald Trump is getting uglier by the day. She is now threatening to seize the former President’s assets after effectively denying him the ability to appeal the grossly inflated civil-fraud judgment against him.
Ms. James no doubt knows she has Mr. Trump in a bind. She and courts have opposed his requests to reduce the bond even though a court-appointed independent monitor overseeing his businesses eliminates the risk he could dispose of or transfer his assets to make the judgment harder for the state to enforce.
As we
wrote last month, the judgment is overkill. None of Mr. Trump’s business partners lost money lending to him or claimed to have been deceived by his erroneous financial statements. No witness during the trial said his alleged misrepresentations changed its loan terms or prices, and there was no evidence that he profited from his alleged deceptions.
Nonetheless, state trial judge Arthur Engoron ordered him to “disgorge” $355 million in “ill-gotten gains.” This sum was based on the interest-rate savings that a financial expert retained by Ms. James estimated Mr. Trump netted from his legerdemain. But this calculation seems dubious since banks said they didn’t alter their loan terms.
As for the crap show:
-The withdrawal from Afghanistan should be enough to disqualify Biden from ever holding public office
- The border situation should be enough to disqualify Biden from every holding public office
- The way Biden handled Covid should be enough to disqualify him from ever holding public office
-We are now firmly entrenched in two conflicts overseas which, in my opinion, never would have happened if Biden wasn't such a feckless inept leader and he is making both of those situations worse by the day
-As for the economy and your rosey outlook:
-We ran a $2T deficit last year and now have over $33T in debt and a 133% debt to GDP ratio. Do a little research and see how many countries have survived that ratio without defaulting. And Biden is doing stupid crap like forgiving $150B in student loans to buy votes.
-Saving rates are at an all time low and credit card and auto loan defaults are surging. Despite the BS inflation numbers that they put out (only to be revised at a later date) everyone that is paying attention knows that inflation isn't under control and consumers are starting to hurt so look for Biden to start cutting checks before November. And resteraunts are not doing well in spite of your ancedotal evidence.

- We have a looming CRE bubble that is going to pop at some point and some of our largest banks already have liquidity issues.
I obviously don't share your opinion of how great this economy is, mainly because you are just regurgitating DNC talking points, but I suppose it could be worse and some of it isn't even Biden's fault. If you think he's going to make it better you are going to be very disappointed.
