Someone is explaining the word penury to someone right now.
No idea how anyone can argue he's a great business man now. He's effectively decimated and can't operate a business. 😂
And Alina still cant understand it.
While Boebert suddenly feels extra handsy.
its amazing how all the law suits are at the same time - it reeks of political persecution from a mile away
So, he's on the hook now for close to a half a billion dollars in fines between this and the Carroll verdict.
I guess being a hateful rapist fraudulent scumbag does have a price tag.
Multiple different states, federal, state and civil cases that were always going to kick off post presidency. They're more concluding over a year long period. Have you or anyone else actually pointed to legal issues in cases etc?
Those 2 passages are excoriating and tbh, I think the financial burden in even lodging the appeal, both to the Fraud case and the E Jean Carroll case, are beyond Donnie's means without either wholesale liquidations or finding a Deutsche Bank exec with a Russian money slush fund 😉
Surely, not all of those people who voted for Trump in the recent primaries still believe in him after this landslide civil judgement against him, do they?
It's almost as if he used the presidency as a shield, to prevent court cases, and then when he was no longer president, all the cases came home to roost????
Wonderful news
Anyone who didnt get off the Trump Express Train to MAGA-land after the insurrection ain't ever abandoning their leader now.
You go on a crime spree, commit fraud and rape and defamation. What do you expect?
Notice how you dont even try to defend Trump of any of the charges. Reeks of someone who knows he is guilty as sin.
The bottom of the barrel called. You already drilled through it.
So for his appeals to this and E Jean Carroll he has to put $447.4m into secure bond accounts.
Should be no problem for a billionaire.
You can go help him out at his fundraiser tonight...
$100k for a Made in China signed Trump hat.
Fools and their money.
Cry harder
I’m still absolutely gobsmacked that the mighty U.S. democracy is down to Biden (a clearly washed-up) has-been and Trump, who seems to be never out the new related to crime. wtf happened to America?
Effectively the Tea party happened.
They had a great POTUS in Obama, regardless of his policies, but such was the hatred that they were willing to torch anything and everything to stop America changing.
HC was demonised, when she was almost infinitely better suited to the role than Trump.
But American voters let their own hatred and concerns overtake the need for effective leaders and government.
The recent refusal to pass a bill to help the border situation, not because it wasn't good but simply because it wasn't their team that did it, sums it all up.
Trump also recently said he hoped for a recession as it would make Biden look bad.
Nobody on either Trump or the wider GOP side has any concern about America. Its purely selfish.
Once those at the top are not only allowed get away with it, but actually supported by the voters, the path is only going one way.
Is it confirmed that he has to pony up the full amount to allow an appeal because if that's the case he's in big trouble!?
Regardless, I hope he keeps the sudocreme in the fridge after that judgement.
If he refuses to pay what would be the first assest they would go after?
I'd go after Trump Tower first that's his pride and joy in New York and that would just about cover the fraud fine.
Then I'd go after his golf courses.
But the US was supposed to have been a more liberal place by the time of the 2008 presidential election. Surely, racism was already regarded by most people in the US as not acceptable anymore, wasn't it? The reason I say that is that I'm struggling to comprehend the Tea Party's hatred towards a black president.
"All the cases are subject to appeal! The desperate claim of the guilty."
i think that's all we need to hear.
Yes. When no actual genuine legal grounds can be cited for the appeal it is the last refuge of the guilty to shout that.
We await his appeal if he puts the funds into escrow, funds which then can be properly used to compensate and account for his offences.
Until then... Trump has no valid legal defence to being called a rapist and a fraudster because a rapist and a fraudster is what he is.
Impressive analysis.
Obviously, Hillary didn't help herself with her "deplorables" reference.
She was 100% right though....
As often has to be pointed out, land doesn't elect Presidents, people do.
And the majority of US residents are not "conservative" is the current meaning of the term in the US.
Rampant gerrymandering and the anachronistic shambles that is the Electoral college give those "Conservatives" a far louder voice than their support level warrants.
The Christian Nationalists that are currently taking hold of the Republican party are an ever dwindling minority in the US and no amount of thrashing around and shouting will change that demographic reality.
If Trump loses in November that's their last chance at power.
Time is running out the them and they know it.
Not necessarily. She should have tried to address their concerns instead of mocking them.
Usually, in a western country, irrationality is harboured only by a small minority of the population. There has to be a limit to the loyalty of many Trump supporters. If Trump said that Earth is flat, would they believe him? Is Trump to those people what the Horizon computer system was to the bigwigs of the UK Post Office?
Do the crimes committed under the guise of MAGA subsequent to that comment just goes to show she was correct?
I'm not saying she should have said it aloud.
I'm saying she was right about Trump supporters.
Btw - "she should have tried to address their concerns"? Is that in-between their chants of "lock her up"!
Address their concerns? Like what? Everything they claimed to hate about her they have not only accepted but applauded in Trump.
There was nothing she could ever say, or do, that would appease them. At the time it did look like a mistake, but since then Trump supporters have shown themselves to be deplorable on so many occasions.
The only mistake she made was pointing it out way before most people had the guts to do so.
