I won’t get my hopes up until after the seizure/liquidation order is executed, and he’s got to start selling shit, everything about and around Trump shows the rich in the United States live by different rules when it comes to the courts, and there’s always another delay or stay or appeal, that the normal citizen wouldn’t be granted or have access to, especially Trump since he and the Republican party control over half the sitting judges which decide these things
It’s a little fun watching him squirm, but only so much, because then there’s the inevitable let down of the stay, or appeal, or case falling apart, or supreme court review, or prosecutor disqualification, or some other fucking infuriating bullshit
Justice delayed is justice denied
I won’t get my hopes up until after
Even if it all goes as it should, and he sees at least some consequence, it’s a travesty that it took so long. Even if he was behind bars today, the damage to what passes for justice in the US is done.
Rich people are above the law.
This is at least a case his Supreme Court can’t interfere in.

I’m glad his supporters have given him all their money at this point. Nowhere for these fuckers to go to beg for money except the very obvious and illegal sources which will land his ass in even more hot water. Agents of the court are all up in his banking business, and he can’t work his way out of this one without getting caught red handed doing something…hopefully.
Shortly before 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, Trump took those grievances public, posting on his social media platform eight times within two hours about the deadline, arguing that he shouldn’t have to put up the money and worrying that he “would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone.”
“Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” the former president wrote.
I was really hoping for the Chewbacca Defense to make an appearance towards the end there.
"They made Han Solo sell the Millennium Falcon too, yeah, that’s right! He got sued by some tentacle-haired flunky and he had to sell it to that woke “Ray” kid for peanuts. What kind of name is “Ray” for a girl, anyway? It’s way too butch, if you ask me. They won’t like me saying that, but it’s true…
How does a civil suit by a state, NOT federal, against your company that has been conducting fraud in said state for YEARS, being held accountable [finally] somehow equal election interference?
Unless you were going to use those properties to either gain some kind of advantage in the election, or to enrich yourself with foreign influence dollars post election. 🤔
He thinks it’s election interference because anything that makes him look bad is election interference. Any narrative that he doesn’t personally control is unfair.

Leticia James isn’t buying it. “There is nothing unusual about even billion-dollar judgments being fully bonded on appeal.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump is in panic mode as the deadline approaches to secure a half-billion-dollar bond to appeal his civil fraud case in New York, according to multiple sources familiar with his thinking.
Privately, Trump had been counting on Chubb, which underwrote his $91.6 million bond to cover the E. Jean Carroll judgment, to come through, but the insurance giant informed his attorneys in the last several days that that option was off the table.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee himself has become increasingly concerned about the optics the March 25 deadline could present – especially the prospect that someone whose identity has long been tied to his wealth would confront financial crisis.
Shortly before 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, Trump took those grievances public, posting on his social media platform eight times within two hours about the deadline, arguing that he shouldn’t have to put up the money and worrying that he “would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone.”
“President Trump has filed a motion to stay the unjust, unconstitutional, un-American judgment from New York Judge Arthur Engoron in a political Witch Hunt brought by a corrupt Attorney General.
But his lawyers told the New York appeals court on Monday that he has approached 30 underwriters to back the bond, and the former president himself said on Truth Social he thought it was “practically impossible” for him to post the amount.
The original article contains 638 words, the summary contains 249 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Nothing is going to happen. Some court/judge will step in just before the deadline, says this needs a stay despite the lack of an official appeal request from the defendent. It will need a close examination due to “the historical nature of the case” or some such bullshit. Schedule a review date in October 2024, which will get rescheduled to 2025 because reasons. Then Trump will go spouting everywhere that he beat the courts and “won” his case.
This guy is part of the protected class, for whatever reason.
I hope I’m wrong. But I know, deep down in my plums I’m right.
