BREAKING: Jury in Trump trial begins deliberations in #BananaRepublic NYC clown court https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-jury-in-trump-trial-begins-deliberations-in-nyc-court

Judge Merchan’s jury instruction is absolutely insane.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden: "If I had vaccinated the 6000 patients I treated for C0VID, I would have made $1,500,000." https://x.com/MdBreathe/status/1795597706385338531 $250,000 per 1,000 patients. The incentives were perverse and insane.

From the start, everything about the Trump NY trial has been corrupt and rotten: - Alvin Bragg's predecessor declined to prosecute this case. - Alvin Bragg originally declined to prosecute this case. - The DOJ declined to prosecute this case. - Then suddenly, Matthew Colangelo, made a strange downward career move, hopping from #3 at the DOJ to just another prosecutor job at the Manhattan DA's office. A few months later, the case against Trump abruptly rematerialized, with Biden’s man as lead prosecutor. - The case hinges on an alleged federal election violation that has never been charged. - The Democrat judge, Juan Merchan, has donated to Joe Biden. - The Democrat judge's daughter, is a professional consultant for Democrats political campaigns, which have raised millions off this trial. - The judge has repeatedly overruled defense objections while allowing the prosecution to run wild. - The judge refused the testimony of an FEC official who would have testified that no federal election crime was committed. - The judge has instructed the jury that they don't even have to unanimously agree on the underlying "felony" the prosecution is alleging Trump tried to conceal with the hush money to reach a conviction - outrageous! - The prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen, is on record saying he wants Trump in jail, is a convicted liar, and and was caught lying about a critical phone call on the stand in cross-examination. - What's alleged to have happened, even if it was a crime, was all under the advice of counsel—Michael Cohen! - We still don't know what the crime is! This is another get-Trump, sham show trial in front of a biased judge and a biased NYC jury. Trump still might get a hung jury, but the fact we've gotten this far is a travesty of justice and stain on the country.

ZERO PERCENT DOWN MORTGAGES RETURN, WHAT CAN GO WRONG? It’s a perfect time to do something really stupid. Morningstar reports One of the Biggest U.S. Lenders is Offering 0%-Down-Payment Mortgages for First-Time Home Buyers. The program was launched by United Wholesale Mortgage, one of the largest U.S. mortgage lenders. The new program will be available to first-time home buyers and people earning at or below 80% of an area’s median income. UWM (UWMC) will give eligible buyers a second-lien loan of up to $15,000, in the form of down-payment assistance, for 3% of the home’s purchase price. The loan will not accrue interest or require a monthly payment. Biden also called on Congress to provide up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance to first-generation home buyers in his State of the Union Address. These blatant "vote buying" proposals are always at the expense of those who fall for the scheme. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/zero-percent-down-mortgages-return-what-can-go-wrong
