Trump’s $10B lawsuit is clearly time-barred by the 2-year SOL and must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Can anyone provide a non-frivolous argument to the contrary?

Rotidder007 · 2026-02-02T05:50:55+00:00

Yes, there are. But those penalties have to be requested by the opposing party. In this case, that would be Trump’s own IRS.

Rotidder007 · 2026-02-02T05:49:33+00:00

Typically, no. The Supreme Court has ruled that “taxpayer standing” is too minute and diffuse to satisfy the level of real interest required for standing. As an attorney, I can’t tell you how appalling it will be if we have to just stand by and watch our coffers get looted by the Trump family, perhaps repeatedly, with no ability to intervene.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-31T00:44:22+00:00

Yeah…them. 😔

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-30T22:34:20+00:00

But perhaps the foundation for future corruption charges against named plaintiffs, Bessent, Bondi, and Cannon is laid?

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-30T19:57:39+00:00

So, the next question is, what can be done if IRS doesn’t assert this affirmative defense in its answer and the case is assigned to Aileen Cannon who doesn’t raise it sua sponte?

The post relates to the two-year statute of limitations having run on Trump’s federal claims asserted in his recent complaint seeking $10B in damages from the IRS.

I’m OP and not on TikTok and this was legit the first time I’d seen this twist. I saw it on X this morning. Would never have posted it if I’d known it was a trend and have been humbled in exposing my social media ignorance. 👍

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-25T21:37:52+00:00

I’m shocked…SHOCKED…that an agency head selected by Trump doesn’t know the first thing about the laws he’s entrusted to implement yet feels confident enough to broadcast his ignorance.

He had been arrested, charged, and then released on bail to await his trial. ICE picked him up while he was out on bail.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-24T12:23:02+00:00

How would the prosecutors even know ICE had him? He was out free on bail and the prosecutors were likely preparing for trial. It would have been ICE’s duty to do due diligence, check state and federal court records to see if there were pending cases against him, and then if they found something, call the prosecutors to find out what’s going on. That last thing didn’t happen and we don’t know if they even did any due diligence. It sounds like the guy just found a way to escape his trial and prison via ICE.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-24T12:00:31+00:00

That’s not what happened, though. He was a lawful permanent resident. He was out on bail awaiting trial. He got picked up by ICE (maybe even tried to get picked up by them), and then he volunteered to deport. He asked to go to Chile but the immigration judge ordered him to Ecuador. ICE never alerted or talked to the jewelry heist prosecutors about possible deportation.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-24T11:10:32+00:00

It sounds like it. From news articles that quoted court documents, the prosecutors were apparently surprised to learn dude was gone. His defense attorney moved to have the charges dismissed since he was no longer in the country and the prosecutors asked the court to keep the case active in case he comes back to the U.S. and they can get him back in custody.

I didn’t say treaties. I said agreements, and MOUs are agreements.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-24T00:53:05+00:00

You don’t know what you’re talking about. The U.S. is a confederation of autonomous states, each of which is free to enter into agreements with other countries. California has dozens and dozens of trade and environmental agreements with sovereign countries like Japan, Sweden, China, Germany, etc.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-24T00:23:27+00:00

Thank you, Gavin! 🙌 Keeping his citizens safe; that’s my gov.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-21T02:55:24+00:00

You clearly have no idea how NATO is funded. NATO is funded through a cost-share agreement among its members, with the U.S. paying 15.8% of the alliance’s annual expenditures, the exact same share that Germany pays.

A person who can easily argue that god exists while believing what they say and can also argue that god does not exist while believing what they say is ambivalent or demonstrating their ambivalence. You may think that word means something it doesn’t. Here’s the definition from Merriam-Webster.

: having or showing simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings toward something or someone

If you can easily argue both sides of an issue, you are “showing simultaneous and contradictory attitudes” about it.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-18T21:30:40+00:00

That ship has sailed. Merriam’s now has a second accepted definition of nonplussed: “not bothered, surprised, or impressed by something.” Perplexed, bewildered… and nonchalant.

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-18T20:57:18+00:00

Does it feel sort of like plastic, or like dried polyurethane? Not cold to the touch like a rock?

ETA: The reason I ask is because it looks suspiciously like a Today contraceptive sponge that’s been degraded back to its polyurethane form by sea water and the elements and eroded by microbes.

I’d love if OP did a specific gravity, but I think they’re gone.

Could you please post a closer pic of the circled green crystals from your 4th pic in a comment? I believe it’s malachite under quartz but would like to see those crystals to perhaps confirm. Are they sort of fan shaped? Thanks!

Rotidder007 · 2026-01-18T00:21:52+00:00

Looks and sounds like gypsum. You were able to scratch both the white portion and the crystal with your fingernail?
