No, he's not "off the hook". Trump and his sons are still barred from leading New York-based companies and they have a court appointed watcher over the business. And all the court did was say it was excessive. It can be reinstated at a lower level.

They can fine away... good luck on it doing any good. Their court actions have ZERO authority in other nations. It is no different than a US court trying to impose their decisions on a person/company in another country. The only way that might work is if it is supported by a standing agreement...

Considering he did not "win" the case. The court finding of guilt was upheld. ALL that was done was that the monetary amount was deemed unreasonable. The guilty verdicts remain.... and the prosecuting agency will appeal that ruling on the fines. He can still be found liable for a lesser amount.

Far from an expert, but just have dealt with this due to my mother's prescription issues. Luckily for her all the kids got together and made sure she was able to get the medications she required without having to struggle with trying to get the "cheap stuff". But it's been that way for years...

It's just part of Texas and actually living in much of the deep south. Texas and Louisiana are probably the worst due to the humidity levels with the heat in much of the both states. At least if the humidity level is low you can use evaporative cooling that works really well. That doesn't...

It's all in what you get used to. Here in Texas there are still many homes that do not have AC, and that is in an area that averages 96° (36°C) to low 100's (38°C+) in the summer. You learn to make do with fans in the rooms (ceiling and also floor) along with consumption of ice water. At 63...

Last I time I checked (it's been a while) it is generally illegal for US citizens to import FDA approved drugs from other countries. There are a few exceptions, but they are few and far between. There was movement in the US government to allow States and the Indian Territories to import drugs...

You want to see the simple stupidity of Trump? I really can't see how the MAGA cult continues to support him. He continues to lie (and it is easily proven to so to be so) and yet they drool when they mention his name.

Apparently it's coming back in an updated/modernized display.

Yep.... Trump working overtime to get politics out of governmental agencies.... by firing those that offend him. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/justice-department-fired-official-whose-husband-operated-controversial-iceblock-app/...

So far the appeals court that heard the governments arguments did not seem to be buying it. From watching comments from a few that keep an eye on how those things trend based upon the oral arguments, the appeals court will be 9-2 at the lowest against the government. The next step would be the...

To circle back to this... there is a case pending with oral arguments scheduled for today (Thursday 07/31/2025) on appeal that deals with some of his action and the law he has based them on. This is the case that came out of the US Court of International Trade and is on appeal over his (mis)use...

Gerrymandering has always been a thing. It is done by both the Democrats and the Republicans. If the state does not legislate when the district lines are drawn then it is not "cheating". That's why there are several states that limit when and who can draw the redistricting maps. And the fact...

That's the issue.. currently Congress is under GOP control and they are all scared of Trump. It's going to take an influx of Democrats to get control sadly. And I say sadly because the GOP that I grew up with is not the GOP of today.
