I don’t think you can award a property in respect to civil litigation payments, but I think it’s possible for the plaintiff to be rewarded monetary damages, then if the defendant doesn’t pay, they can place liens on owned property until they’re compensated. I have no idea if a lien would prioritize them for compensation if the defendant declares bankruptcy versus mortgage holders and stuff, so who knows.

There is an entire rigmarole about court debts that can, or cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Generally speaking, if somebody did something maliciously unintentionally, it is not dischargeable. Regardless, we are talking about Trump declaring bankruptcy in that case.

And that would be hilarious.

She's already juiced like $2.5M out of this, which makes me wonder if it's even worth to do that for a shot at more money. Just take your millions and go be a cable news star.

He had to put up a bond in order to even have this case, so he has already paid out a large part of any settlement. Obviously, punitive damages can be higher, and it will probably be a chore to make him pay. However, like others have pointed out, the idea of him simply not paying is not an option.
That's not quite right, this isn't an appeal. The bond is paid because Trump wanted to appeal the original trial verdict. This is a quasi-separate action that would have occurred regardless because he can't shut his loving mouth. Even if this trial didn't take place, he'd have had to remit the judgment to the plaintiff or to the court.

redshirt posted:

Is anything truly "settled law" when the SC can just say "nah" if they want?
If SCOTUS doesn't take up the case then it's absolutely and definitively done. I'll readily take the toxx that SCOTUS has zero interest in touching this matter once the CA2 is done with the appeals on the first trial and the only potentially novel matter (re: civil immunity) is not something they've expressed any interest discussing.

JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT
Let’s look at the positives of any multi-millions that Trump will have to pay:

1.) He either actually has that money or he doesn’t, which can shatter his “I’m a rich businessman” image.
2.) If he doesn’t have the money, he’ll have to sell assets, which is most likely going to be any of his few remaining properties that he loves more than his own family.
3.) He will definitely try and steal money to pay these fines, from the GOP, from foundations, from GOP-led states (remember how Florida wants to give him 5 million to fight in court). He will be taking money that is desperately needed by the GOP to do ads, outreach, support, etc. It’ll most likely hurt their chances for election this year.
4.) Trump has millions of supporters, they’re going to donate their hard-earned money to him to help him, and in turn that will affect their personal finances and family relationships. I can totally see a father of a struggling family sending their savings to Trump instead of paying for the mortgage or medical emergency. This will split and cause divides in families.
5.) Trump being declared a “loser” will energize more of the Democratic base to go out and vote, because lets face, it is loving hilarious to see this beach bag of a human being whine like a baby over every loss he gets.

Regardless of whatever damages are awarded, I’m predicting at least one more defamation case, possibly two, before this saga comes to a close. Trump will absolutely lay the groundwork for another trial this very afternoon; he can’t help himself.

Also, no matter what the number is, he's still going to continue defaming her 100%. Because Trump is someone who just can absolutely not shut the gently caress up about personal slights and insults and other imagined injuries.

So like, round 3 when? It's definitely going to happen.

Neat, we samebrained that.

It's loving astounding how the courts tip-toe around Trump and his sycophants like they're royalty and criticizing them would be an affront to God, or some poo poo. These people routinely break rules and norms, sometimes blatantly violating laws, and the court system just silently sits by, maybe uttering a "please don't do that again" every so often.

Throw the book at the gently caress, Jesus.

"In the matter of the 72nd trial for defamation, we find that Donald Trump is now the legal property of the Ms. Carroll. This unprecedented ruling follows after Mr. Trump has continued to defame her even after the previous judgments of "All his money" "His fingers are cut off so he can't tweet" "His tongue is removed so he can't speak" and the first ever case of someone being banned from the human omniconsciousness."

IIRC he has to put the money up in escrow in order to appeal, so he still has to come up with the cash even if Carroll doesn't get it immediately.

The first case is already under appeal right? If, theoretically, he managed to get that overturned, wouldn't that immediately make this one moot as well?

We have been extremely lucky that the judges in his cases thus far have not been full fledged maga chuds. Imagine if each of these cases had been put into the hands of someone like Eileen Cannon? The documents case is basically dead in the water and has been neatly shuffled to “maybe we will get to this after the election”.

They are trying to make sure there is less ability for cannon to gently caress with everything down the road but waiting for this poo poo to wrap up suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

Yes, in theory. In practice there's very little that's novel here and jury decisions are very hard to overturn. He's already gotten some matters in front of the appellate court and they've been less than impressed when asked to rule on them.

Complete dipshittery, like pulling out the "but other people were speeding too!" defense after you got ticketed for going 80 in a 65. Lady, if someone defames you, you are in fact allowed to go after them. That has no relevance to anything.

Even if it were the same Habba's point would seem to be that associating with Trump gets you harassed and defamed. Mistrial! The internet is just a bad place and sometimes you get defamed by a former president after he sexually assaults you.
