His company is going to be put in receivership and dismantled to pay these bills, it’s not up to him. But of course he will probably file every possible appeal to delay this, there is no way he can come up with that much cash without liquidating anything that matters to him.

According to his own sworn testimony he has $400 million, liquid, cash.

If the Deep State can go after the former president's sprawling criminal empire of shell corporations and fraudulent businesses for $350 million, imagine what they could do to you...wake up liberals…

I mean yeah, hopefully they lose winnable races because their state parties are insolvent. Major financial problems are already being reported in Colorado, Minnesota, and Michigan is especially a mess.

One of the reasons the Republican Party is going without is the megadonors are giving to superPACs and other alternative campaign coordinator orgs instead. Unfortunately those don't seem to be any less effective at winning elections, given the right-wing media preparing the playing field ahead of time in their favor.

They seem to have a different issue now : competency. It seems that purging all of your party cynics and apparachtiks in favor of zealots is bad for the long-term functionality of your political party. No clue whether they'll manage to collapse the entire country before they run out of gas, though.

I was guessing more that some of those people that loaned him the money wanted access to all the DMs.

And he wanted access to Grimes’ DMs, besides that.

I expect that’s true but I don’t totally understand why. Seems there are plenty of elderly far right figures with billions who could write a check for his fees & have it be a rounding error on their balance sheets. Like Sheldon Adelson‘s widow has $30 billion and has already given trump like $50 million, seems like a figure like that would get a lot for their money.

Well obviously I'm only going to target people who want to give money to veterans who are outraged, OUTRAGED, by the Deep State's treatment of 45 (the implication being that we need money to do something about it, the unacknowledged thing being is that something is paying our bills and poo poo).
