Specifically by a war on the plains of Geddo as described in the Bible. They view him in the same vein as King David. It's "god's will" a pants making GBS threads morally and now financially bankrupt man was running the country and will go out for him. It would be fascinating if it wasn't so awful. They will literally excuse just about anything he does. As a snipe soother, here's Mr. Biggs from almost 20 years ago.

My question is probably unanswerable, but how much *equity* does Trump actually have? He tells us constantly about the property he owns, and lies about its value, but if he's already mortgaged them to the tits to fund his lifestyle, he may legitimately not be able to come up with the fine amount at all.

So far he’s just told the Carroll judge that he shouldn’t have to pony up because it’s a pittance to a man of his wealth and thus worthless as surety and also that the fees on the bond would be too much burden for him beyond the judgement. Seems to be suggesting that Carroll pay the bond fees? He also asked both judges to stay the bonds out of the kindness of their hearts but they both scoffed at the idea. Engoron almost literally. Finally he asked the Fraud case appeals court to do the stay but they responded that night with a big fat, “LOL, No”.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say he's leveraged to his nostrils; he's not simply broke, he couldn't reach a zero balance in his lifetime. When you own the company and you have no board, or public filings, you can say dumb poo poo like, "my name is worth $3-billion!!!" I am stealing a quote. I wish was mine, and can't remember the author; I'm paraphrasing it to say: TRump is trapped in a lake of poo poo up to his nostrils, with debtors and lawyers running around him in motorboats, making waves.

Remembering that he ran for president as the first candidate in decades to not release his tax returns because "they were under audit" so I have to think that his wealth is mostly smoke and mirrors and I'd bet his net value, if we had to settle the entire score, probably wouldn't look great.

Eh, Rachael Maddow got his tax returns and made a big deal out of them showing Trump didn’t pay taxes, and nothing about how little he was worth, so I can’t see that as evidence. Doesn’t mean he’s not; hopefully we’ll find out in less than thirty days. Edit: the only thing more innately evil than Lolth is autocorrrect

Even if he was to see any of it -I still think it's pretty doubtful, no real salvation there. I can only think they already got what they wanted and the money was just the payoff. Whatever they wanted may not be directly evident ... like looking the other way while something was happening with the Saudi's.

That said, there needs to be a full investigation of whatever happened at the IRS during that audit. There’s no way they didn’t see the same stuff James saw in NY.

So even if he makes an appeal, is the appeal even going to take that long? It was my understanding that his crappy lawyers closed most avenues of appeal off, and I assume who is the judge for the appeal will make sure it seen pretty quickly, and I can imagine if they relying on pretty shoddy for appeal it's going to be pretty quick to deny. Be amusing if some how he does get someone to pay his bond and has to pay the fees associated with that only for the appeal to be pretty much immediately rejected.

He can't appeal if he can't post the penalty. All he can do is make noises. Whatever power his lawyers had was spent in the courtroom. They can't do anything substantive outside of one. Either he has the money or he doesn't. He doesn't. He knows it, and he knows that, no matter what he says, how loudly he screams, or how often: people, possibly a lot of people, will know that he is short on cash. Unable to remedy his woes because he is (get this) broke. I think that this is why he has been glitching out and sundowning harder & faster than usual: the stress of this realization is literally killing him.

I don't understand where this confidence in the Republicans comes from. These last polls favoring Trump, and previous polls, showing that Americans think Republicans would do a better job with the economy is bonkers. The Republicans always make a mess and then the Democrats have to fix it. The Democrats are always blamed for it, though.

Polls seem to have decoupled from results the last few cycles. My favorite theory is that because you only get answers from people who talk to unknown phone numbers, polls are now selecting for the extremely credulous.

I thought he was free to appeal because as hosed as our legal system is it realizes "unable to appeal a ruling unless you pay" is bullshit and paying the penalty just puts a stay on having everything he owns sold. So he can appeal, but the government's still going to be liquidating every single asset he has while it happens, and if he happens to win the government will just hand him a check and say "LOL, sorry."

It’s this. He’s totally free to appeal within the relevant deadlines and only would have to pay various court fees. The bond is necessary not to appeal, but to stay the execution of the judgment during the pendency of the appeal.

The Republicans always make a mess and then the Democrats have to fix it. The Democrats are always blamed for it, though. Most Americans are stupid and uninterested in paying any attention to politics, and therefore easy marks for pundits and media who spread those ideas. The economy is because of business and business likes Republicans (because Republicans cut taxes and reduce regulations) and therefore businesses and media businesses talk all the time about how Republicans are better for the economy and that just gets absorbed as Conventional Wisdom. For those same reasons - Americans being stupid and uninterested in paying attention to politics - most Americans believe that Republicans are the same as they were in 1958 and don't see the disconnect between the outright racist fascist kleptocrats running things and the only subtly racist, subtly fascist politicians of their youth like Eisenhower and Reagan.
