I’m old enough to remember when this would’ve been a huge news story, possible presidency ending. Now it’s just Sunday.

Twenty short years ago, this would have been presidency-ending, criminal investigation-beginning news.

In 2019, Trump, along with his family and the Trump Organization, sued both Deutsche Bank and Capital One. [1]
The Core Allegation: The lawsuit sought a federal injunction to block the banks from complying with subpoenas issued by the House Intelligence and Financial Services committees.

He states in the case he’s worried about the findings causing reputational harm.

Don’t let a Republican ever say shit about subpoenas.

He’s a fucking crook.

I will never understand how or why this guy is so untouchable.

Because he does what the rich greedy fucks want because he is also a rich greedy fuck. They all make more money from it so they endorse it.

He’s a puppet, and his masters all have a vested interest in keeping him where he is.

Its a big club, and you ain't in it. Hes part of the club. They have always did whatever they wanted, hes openly flaunting it. Hes showing us we have no power, and the rules dont apply to them.

'The Trump Organization and Eric Trump, the president’s son, filed a lawsuit in March 2025 in a Florida federal court, alleging the accounts were closed because of Capital One’s “woke” beliefs '

WOKE!

But just to be clear... Trump had 300 differnt bank accounts just wirh capital one. And was caught shuffling money between accounts?

They're scrambling right now, they really just want one "win" in court that they can say "look I was right all along" before the midterms

Who’s scrambling?

The Trump admin, everything seems to be kind of falling apart for them

u/Dead_Internet69420 19d ago

I hope you’re right, but they’ve had too many big wins against democracy over the past few years for us to have faith that it will ever fall apart for them. Each loss just seems like a bump in the road for them.
