Only just past the mid-point in January, and it's been a daily dose of tRump thingies, with NO END in sight...rapidly coming close to the realization that one simply is exhausted commenting on the man's usurpation of the news cycle. I find myself increasingly skipping over tRump-"news" links that formerly I would relish opening...Basta! Genug!
" We need to get the hell out of the way. Cut the best deals we can get and then get on with the political year."
The angry leprechaun is correct and if Johnson has any sense he will listen to him. The CR proved democrats would help and a majority of republicans agreed. Johnson's next step in a show of good faith with democrats, should be bringing the Ukraine/border deal to the floor. Democrats should help to do that and this will cement the relationship, as it will pass again with a bipartisan majority. Tying H. R. 2 on it is a major non-starter, McCarthy only got that piece of trash through the first time by promising a considerable number in his caucus it would not become law.
The huge mystery there is no one knows what his wealth actually is.
To my knowledge, the defendant received a NYS STARR payment some years ago. The weird part is that STARR was limited to people with earning under $50,000/year. Which, you know, is hard to make that little if one’s multi-billionaire as the serial liar claims at every opportunity. Subject to contradiction from some one who can work with this stuff more than I, I think his maximum wealth is maybe the mid-9 figures?
Another fun fact: at some TV roast thing, the rule was jokes were allowed as to every subject of mockery but one thing -- the only thing -- off limit was the issue of his wealth. That is, of course, a confession by him considering his actual, not claimed, wealth hurts his fee-fees.
That said, whatever his wealth is is irrelevant to assessing damages. And May Engoron and the Carroll II jury award the plaintiffs magnitudes of Giuliani sums.
If an award survives appeal, some money if not the entire amount should be available albeit with a lot of work.
Bigger hurdles: the ages of the parties’ in the defendant’s case, if he passes away first, the estate is likely going to be a black hole of bullshit financials and bad actions. I anticipate the three oldest children doing all they can to screw over their half sibs and widow (if any 😉). So, you know, that will not be resolved quickly.
I would say Melania has negotiated an air tight prenup that makes sure she and Baron are well taken care of. I think this money would come off the top in any kind of bankruptcy.
Nothing’s ever going to happen to Donald Trump. He will never spend a day in a jail cell nor will he ever pay a penny to E. Jean Carroll or anyone. In America, the justice system is designed to protect the rich and punish us. All this; all these procedural delays, all these motions and filings... it’s a farce played on the main stage of a parody of a justice system put in place to give us the impression that we’re all equal under the law.
On a positive note, that was one helluva video!

"Freedom" via "legislative terrorism" is not freedom for most of America. People need to quit sleepwalking and wake tf up.
Re potential damages in Carroll II:

He will have to put the amount of the award into escrow if he wants to appeal, just as he to do to appeal the award in Carroll I.
I forgot the bond!
I gues he’ll delay things by making an application for some poor person release from the need to post a bond.
But will she ever actually see the money regardless?

Didn’t the three oldest would have any legit basis but just that the three oldest would pull all the shit they can.
As for the widow and her (allegedly autistic) son, I really don’t care, do you? And if so, why?
Right. But there is a legal process to force him to pay?
Yes.
The double dick dance is my favorite of them all 🤣😂🤣

TRUMP: "The Disqualification Clause doesn’t prevent an insurrectionist from running for office, only from holding office."
SCOTUS: Done.
