Same here. Like many, I believe Trump is functionally broke. I believe his so-called "empire" is leveraged to the hilt, such that a forced liquidation would cause his house of cards to fall. Now we wait to see if such a collapse will be brought on by the upcoming bond he must post to cover a...

Yep. He did it. Where the money came from to pay the bonding company fees, and how Trump convinced a bonding company to accept him as a credit risk, is anyone's guess. We may learn more later, but I don't think Trump is required to disclose his funding sources in this instance. The EXCELLENT...

Unclear Deadline I've been saying the deadline for Trump to post cash or bond in an appeal of the Carroll judgement is Saturday. That's 30 days after the judgement was entered on the record. Some media outlets are reporting that date. Others are saying Monday is the date. That may be because...

Kaplan; A No-BS Judge From today's ruling:

More Bad News for Trump RE $83.3 Million Judgement Judge Kaplan ruled tonight that he won’t grant even a “temporary administrative stay” because Trump’s “current situation is a result of his own dilatory action.” In response to another motion on which he has not yet ruled, it is possible he...

Interesting News Trump has always said he will appeal the E. Jean Carroll judgement. This is evidence he is following through. The question remains, while he can appeal without posting cash or bond, can he post the cash or bond so judgement-enforcement actions can be forestalled until the...

Trump Charged More Money for Yet Another Frivolous Lawsuit "Donald Trump has been ordered to pay at least $382,000 (£300,000) in costs after losing a UK court case against the former MI6 agent behind the 'Steele dossier.'”...

Reading a bit more about asset seizures to satisfy court judgements, the process for seizing a commercial building, like one of Trump's hotels or Trump Tower, is similar to that described above for a plane. The judge issues a seizure order and the owner thereby loses control of the building. Law...

Ramaswamy Checkbook Closed to Trump "Biotech entrepreneur and former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t seem too interested Wednesday in helping out Donald Trump’s campaign by writing a check, ..." https://www.yahoo.com/news/awkward-moment-vivek-ramaswamy-suggests-022044276.html

Ownership of planes like these is registered with the FAA and the info is public record. Trump's 757 is owned by one of Trump's companies; DJT Operations I LLC, a Delaware LLC. No additional owners are listed. If the court issues a seizure order, Trump instantly loses use of his plane. Court...

I'm with you! Seize the plane!

Trump Keeps Begging While Offering Nothing This evening, Trump's lawyers begged Judge Kaplan once again to postpone a rapidly approaching deadline. At midnight tonight, Trump will have just 72 hours remaining in which he can forestall enforcement of the $83.3 million judgement a jury awarded...

This is the candidate North Carolina MAGA people advanced for governor. While that may make perfect sense to a strident MAGA party follower, it makes little sense to anyone wanting to win the general election. I was thinking abortion rights would be important in the NC race. It seems women's...

Did Musk Have This in Mind? When Trump asked Musk for money last weekend, Musk gave none. I wonder if Trump's previous statement about Musk might have something to do with it? On July 11, 2022, Trump said this on Truth Social: “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all...

Sorry, Donnie. No Denaro for You. Trump recently met with prospective large donors, including Elon Musk. Musk's net worth is close to $200 billion, and he could presumably underwrite Trump's entire campaign and cover all his legal expenses, and pay all his multi-million-dollar judgements...

Sign of Trump Panic? It's now just days until E. Jean Carroll can take court action to seize $83.3 million of Trump's assets. Yesterday, Trump's attorneys filed a document with the court which asks for a new trial. That request has zero chance of success. Trump has asked this judge for new...

Abortion Rights in North Carolina This thread is titled "The Defining Issue of 2024." Last night was Super Tuesday and the presidential primary elections dominated the news. In elections in 16 states, where mostly party members vote for candidates of their own parties to help determine their...

New Filing by Fani Willis In a new filing, filed 4:48pm 3/5/24, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis argues that Trump and his co-defendants have not met their burden of showing a disqualifying conflict of interest. (Source) As the judge gets close to making his ruling, I feel no pity...

He may yet pull a rabbit out of the hat to somehow post cash or bond, or otherwise avoid judgement enforcement. But time is short and getting shorter.

Who Will Get Trump's Plane First? Carroll or James? With the appeal windows soon closing in the NY fraud and Carroll defamation cases, and Trump unable to post cash or bond so far, and him begging the courts for a better deal but not getting them, lawyers for James and Carroll are poised to...
