I’m inclined to believe that.
If he doesn’t, it’ll be because Trump Org. can’t be scrapped for more than a fraction of what he’d like us all to believe it’s worth.

There are likely a few Senators more hated within their institution than Rand Paul. Very few.

I agree on most of what you say, but my impression from all this is the wording about immunity for ‘official actions taken as president,’ and SCOTUS doesn’t seem to be able to grasp that trying to overturn an election (with false electors, false accusations of voter fraud, pressuring the VP to lie when counting votes) is not an official action of ANY citizen, and especially not the president.
Considering all the other characters involved who have not so far had to answer for their participation in the above is as confounding to me as the rest of it. I’m beginning to think we need to toss out everything and start all over. But as things are now it would be a major fiasco with no one equal to the Founding Fathers even with their inability to imagine airplanes, AR 16s, and even the venality of TFG.
Shooting someone deliberately in a duel? It isn’t in the same ball park IMO.
I’m going with this one. The filing this week where he tried to get the judge to accept $100 million, I think that’s the “tell” that that’s all the couch-cushion change they can scrape together.
So it’s onto selling things, and the question of just how much (if any) equity is actually sitting out there.
Oh, and his DWAC buddies are suing him for trying to dilute the “value” of their shares, so his whole house of cards could come crashing down really soon.

Low population density in that area of the state means it was just a “grass fire”. No biggie.

Can Rand Paul be held in lower esteem than Ted Cruz?
Is that even possible?

Tish James et al can begin the process to start seizing property to satisfy the judgment.
…but … no doubt, this would be met with waves and waves of Trump flying legal monkeys ( that he will eventually refuse to pay) all filing appeals & extensions & pulling fire alarms & presenting petitions for dismissal… all designed to constipated the legal process into a coma!

There’s an amazing TV or podcast series to be made about the sins of the business media.

To date, nothing qualifies for that idea? I have to wonder what WOULD qualify.
I suggest we prepare the word ‘Navalny’d’ if TIFBG wins in November.
There will be plenty of that going on, bet on it.

A further wrinkle in wresting wealth from Trump, discussed last night on one MSNBC or another:
“[Trump’s] legal team also told the court [on Feb. 28, 2024] that several of the addresses for Trump in James’ proposed judgment were incorrect and included “proper address” for those entities, all of which were in Florida. The addresses listed included the Mar-a-Lago estate, the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter and the Trump National Doral Miami.”
This is the only print source I’ve found on a quick google search. I think MSNBC was relying on another news source. Nobody discussing this on MSNBC seemed to know what Trump might be up to here, esp. since, many months ago, he was ordered by the court not to move any of his NY businesses out of the state. He can’t moved his buildings to Florida, of course, but nevertheless he needs cash-in-hand.

I’m istening to just the music part of the video and it doesn’t amount to anything musically speaking, in that there’s nothing of real substance. No real instruments other than synth and a computerized drum track. It’s similar in style to a lot of 80s pop crap. The melody is pretty uninspired and doesn’t go anywhere interesting.
The video itself is entertaining if you’re into dance moves, but Michael Jackson did it way better and with actual musicians and pretty salty writing for the most part.

I’m not AS worried that Obama and Biden would be prosecuted under the current rules of the judicial system that requires a grand jury indictment, etc, as I am that DT will just ignore the system and go straight to the Putin method. It has already been determined that DT’s alleged (Ha!) criminal actions were not official acts, so I still don’t understand why his federal trial shouldn’t be allowed to continue under the appeals court ruling.
In fact, isn’t the SC putting the cart before the horse? Since there is currently no case in which a former president is being accused of a crime through an official presidential action, shouldn’t the question of whether official acts are covered involve an entirely new case? I get that we might want to save Obama and Biden the pain of a prosecution like that, but shouldn’t we still have to go through that process? I didn’t think the SC was supposed to resolve issues for which there is no case before them.
