Left-Leaning Appeals Court Okays Emoluments Suit Against Trump
Unite against President Trump instead of uniting to support Americans. (r/The_Donald)
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against President Trump in an ideologically split decision. Maryland and D.C. can proceed with their emoluments lawsuit against him. The lawsuit claims that the President violated the Constitution. They’re accusing President Trump of accepting foreign government money via his Washington hotel.
President Trump and his team are preparing to appeal this before the U.S. Supreme Court. According to the article, the court arguments related to this case were heated. The conservative judges tied their Democrat counterparts to the Democrat opposition to President Trump.
From Politico:
The 4th Circuit’s full bench essentially split along ideological lines with the Democratic appointees turning down Trump’s attempt to halt discovery ordered by a federal district court judge in Maryland and the Republican-appointed ones siding with Trump.
Chief Judge Roger Gregory, who was recess appointed by President Bill Clinton and got a permanent appointment under President George W. Bush, joined those ruling against Trump.
An all GOP-appointed panel of the 4th Circuit had previously voted unanimously to shut down the suit the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general filed back in 2017.
The key majority opinion issued Thursday held that, because of the posture of the case, Trump needed extraordinarily strong arguments to prove that District Court Judge George Hazel erred by allowing the fact-finding discovery process to proceed.
Judge Diana Motz said that even if Hazel erred, the president had not shown he had an “indisputable” right to shut down the suit, which would be required for the appeals court to step in at this stage. Motz, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, also said the records D.C. and Maryland were seeking at this point in no way intruded on Trump’s official duties.

Category: Donald Trump, Liberals suck, Politics, Trump!
I’ll go ahead and get this out of the way up front.
Orange Man Bad.
you forgot to include Lars in 3….2….1….
Orange Man Winning!
Orange Man Victory!
MAGA!
U-S-A!
How about a button like the reply and report buttons in the comment field that automatically prints “ORANGE MAN BAD!!!” so we don’t have to waste the keystrokes to type it?
He is using his office for personal profit.
And the amount of money he and his family is accepting from foreign powers is obscene.
Not to mention the fact that his kids are bartering US policy for profit as well.
If some of you were not putting party loyalty over the interests of the country you would not be ok with it.
Hell, you all wouldn’t be ok with the nepotism alone.
But the cult sees no evil as long as their orange messiah “owns the libs”.
Hillary is a “he”?
I knew Michelle was but not Hillary. Thanks for the update.
What the fuck?
Why do you guys keep bringing up Hillary?
I thought she should have gone to jail.
Because unlike you I am loyal to the American people.
Not my political party.
You logic basically says it is ok for ANY republican politician to be a corrupt piece of shit just because Hillary was.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?
No… you totally missed my point with all your intelligencia. You overthunk it.
I didn’t say you supported Hillary. I was just pointing out that you kept calling her a “he” instead of her while talking about her actions and character.
Settle down.
Quick question, Lars: how many previous presidents left office millions (or billions) of dollars richer than they went in? How many senators? How many congressmen? Look it up. I’ll wait.
And if you’re so fired up about foreign money, why aren’t you calling for Clinton’s head?
The level of corruption is unprecedented.
Previous and ongoing corruption does not make it ok.
Unlike you I would never support a corrupt politician.
I think political corruption should be a capital offense.
You support lots of corrupt politicians, you lying sack of shit. Hell, half the time you even have the balls to call them honest patriots. You’re just putting on moral airs now because Orange Man Bad. You might have a shred of credibility if you applied that standard equally, but you don’t.
“The level of corruption is unprecedented.”
Lars, you’re the one always demanding empirical evidence, so just what is your empirical evidence for that broad claim?
I won’t be holding my breath…
He loses money every day he is in that job. He could be making millions, instead of working for the on dollar he kept from his annual $400k salary.
He will come out of his eight years much less wealthy than he could have been in his private life.
Now, you don’t seem to see any problems with Bernie’s mysterious wealth. Not too shabby for a guy Hippies kicked out as lazy, and who has never held a real job.
Hey now, he “work[s] in Washington, House 1, live in Burlington, House 2, and like thousands of other Vermonters I do have a summer camp.”
You can’t fault a guy for having his summer camp.
Nonsense. Every time he flies down to Mara Lago all his staff and security stay at his property and we foot the bill for them and probably not at the government rate. His generously donated $400k salary is a pittance compared to what he raked in when the secret service had to rent out apartments at Trump tower because Malaria couldn’t be assed to live in the shit hovel we call the White House. Add to this list every time foreign dignitaries just happen to stay at one of his properties to remain in his good graces, and it is very unlikely that he will come out of this worse than before. If you think this narcissist is in this out of the goodness of his heart and that he cares about the little guy, then I’m sure he has a fantastic bridge in Brooklyn for sale just for you.
Do you just copy and paste this every day or do you actually type out all the same drivel over and over again?
But you are just Ducky with the foreign funding of CPUSA, various other Prog/Green orgs, right?
I am not ok with any corruption whatsoever and any foreign money entering our politics whatsoever.
Hell, I am not even ok with money driving politics at all.
Aaaaaand………what about Slow Joe and Hunter Biden?
Any comments about them? Now? In the past?
Diane Feinstein?
John Conyers?
The Clinton Foundation?
Ojos-Locos?
California’s Bullet Train to Nowhere that’s making the Feinsteins, Pelosis, and Newsoms even more filthy rich at taxpayer expense?
That’s just off the top of my head as I’m changing my daughter’s diaper.
Just when you thought his last post emptied the bottom of the Left-Wing/Pinko/Commie conspiracy barrel, he digs even deeper. Trump became President…wait for it…to drive guests to his DC Hotel. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a new winner in the loser sweepstakes and its Lars lapping the field once again. I bet you think he was “pushing” HQC because he stock in the company that makes it, right? Except its a generic thats been on the market for something like 65 years. Try again…I’m sure you win (at beinbg a loser) for umpteenth time in a row.
He actually did try to push that conspiracy theory about HQC and when he got called out on it he did his usual and ignored it and moved on to different communist drivel.
all that without ever mentioning facts,, how do you do it?
Prove it Lars. But of course, you cannot, can you? Opinions are like assholes, Lars. Everyone has one, and many smell like shit. Yours is one of those. As much as you say we worship the Evil Orange One, you are diametrically the opposite in your mindless hatred of him and conservatives in general. You don’t really need your brain since you don’t use it.
Did they pay with a credit card? Then it isn’t foreign money. CASE CLOSED!
Oh, wait DONALD TRUMP is not in charge of the business it is held in “blind trust” like every Senator and Congressman’s stocks that just happen to trade on subjects the Congressman is privy to…just saying….”Wait for it”!!!!
What goes around, comes around.
Look into this.
You have no clue.
He is accepting foreign cash through his hotels and resorts.
They are renting rooms at several times the market rate and leaving them empty.
And his kids are selling US policy.
I’ll just leave this here;
“You have no clue.”
But that’s never stopped you from flapping your cock holster, has it, Lars? You often pretend to be an expert on things about which you know fuck-all.
“They are renting rooms at several times the market rate and leaving them empty.”
WHo is this “they”? PDJT & family associations?
If the rooms are empty. then they aren’t being rented, at ANY price. Therefore, no income.
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Hoooooooonnnnnnnnnnk!

Funny, seems to me the court thinks the burden of proof lies with the defendant.
The government has to prove its case rather than Trump showing there isn’t one–even in a civil matter. That and that whole can’t prove a negative bit.
He has claimed absolute immunity and absolute power as president.
Name a single god damn politician in America you would be ok with doing that.
Fucking cultists.
My Chinese classmate finally replied to an email I sent him with all of your opinions on China and their government.
“He talks like a fish with a paper asshole,” was his reply.
Never heard that one before. But I like it.
Another mindless, substance less non sequitur to deflect from Trump. At least it wasn’t another Hillary reference.
My opinions on China?
That they were lying about Covid 19?
That they have not been communist since the 1990s?
That they have focused their military technology development on asymmetrically neutralizing our 7th fleet of necessary?
That they would obliterate Taiwan rather than allow its independence?
Exactly which opinion does you random “Chinese friend” disagree with.
Hell, which one did you take issue with?
“……focused their military technology development…”
You mean whatever they can acquire by hacking, stealing and paying bribes for.
1. LCAC / Type 726
2. X-47B / Star Shadow
3. MQ-1 Predator / CH-4
4. Y-20 / C-17
5. UH-60 / Z-20
6. Arleigh-Burke / Type 052
The list goes on……..
“That they have not been communist since the 1990s?”
And yet the ruling party is called (by them) Chinese Communist Party.
No voluntary associations are permitted to function that are wholly independent of CCP and government leadership.
Hmmmmmm, cheer-leading much for Communist China?
What’s in a name? Is the DPRK a democracy or a republic? By definition China is not communist, as it is not a classless and/or equal society, with the higher ones being obscenely wealthy. I don’t know what you would call it, maybe dictatorship or oligarchy, but communist ain’t it.
It gets funnier every time I translate your claptrap into “Chef-Speak”!

I am SO borrowing that, Deckie! If your buddy has anything else like that, please let me know!
I think I speak for most here at TAH when I say that “Fucking cultists” is a term of great honor when bestowed upon us by a fucking idiot…
Poe, you are a priest in the cult.
I don’t expect to wake you the fuck up.
HAIL POE, HAIL POE…
You know, for a (presumed) advanced degree holder or candidate, you have an amazing inability to formulate a response without using the f-bomb. It really highlights how shallow your logic is. Fuck, fuck, fuck fuck… you really should learn some new words.
One would think the jizzlicking shitstain assmonkey could at least learn to diversify his goddamn profanity.
A degree from Califagia is nothing at all, and means less. The only thing Lars holds is his tiny little dick. Fucking brainless liberal shitmaggot.
How hilarious is it to be called “cultists” by a guy who buys Bernie Sanders‘s PR wholesale to the point that he wants to suck the old commie bastard off, and ignores anything and everything about his socialist messiah that doesn’t fit his chosen narrative?
And who loves Marxism, but will claim he was not a communist.
Lars is projecting again. He doesn’t see the irony of him calling others cultists when he himself is a cultist worshiping on the alre of leftism.
IMHO he’s brain damaged to hell and back from decades of guzzling the Kool-Aid!
He goes out of his way to beclown himself, and destroy any shred of credibility.
Then, he wonders at his lack of persuasion.
This is just noise. Democrats know that they are in trouble. All you needed to see was the split on the decision of the court.
WOW, as the old ditty goes:Trolling Trolling over the bounding maine. And I keep repeating, Obamas Shadow govt slow moving coup just keeps the demoRAT merry go round turning and as you used to grab the brass ring from the ring holder, they now try and catch the next impeachment papers from the impeachment holder.
This applies to SCOTUS, but it’s a good read. I think it’s an appropriate read considering the topic on hand and the ideological divide in the court ruling.

I’d wager an investigation into Congress would find similar results. There’s one side that is not accepting of differing opinions, and it ain’t our side.
