why do people who seem to have no empathy for anyone else in the world get so angry when just this one single guy loses a court case

some actually behave like it's hurting them personally, but wouldn't care at all when it happens to anybody else

is it all a fake display to demonstrate loyalty, or have they made him into an extension of themselves

Neat!

Trump is the icon of their nouveau religion. As long as they keep believing Trump is the only source of the real truth, then they are still right. And being proven so wrong at this point, so fooled, would be worse than death. Humiliation. So anything that damages the icon, is a personal attack on themselves, and they react with pain and anger as if they were attacked, in self defense of protecting the lie that they are still right.

This is really good news, we have know for awhile now that if someone is adherent to their anti-retrovirals, either HAART for people living with HIV or PrEP for people not, there is zero chance of transmitting HIV or seroconverting. Basically the primary policy in the US and abroad has been getting people at risk for HIV tested and either on HAART or PrEP and the biggest obstacle to that has been stigma on all sides. Testing and the refusal of people to admit that they are at risk or that they are living with HIV.

This bullshit profoundly harms our most important tool in eliminating HIV. It's ignorant and evil.

I'm completely ignorant on the subject, but because it's a retrovirus we can't immunize against it, right? Or is that the next miracle that mRNA vaccines are going to give us?

I remember being just old enough to understand what was going on when AIDS first became a mainstream thing, and holy cow, people were scared. And now it's,. what, two pills a day with no barely any side effects and you're free and clear?

poo poo on Big Pharma all you want, but when they're not producing hyper-addictive pain-killers, they're producing stuff that would be considered miracles even 50 years ago.

WTF?!
$300 million+ fine is a lot but he can probably raid the RNC + have his cultists donate enough to cover that in about 6-8 months so I wouldn't get too hopeful that this will be enough to cause him to face any real consequences.

Any appeal attempts are going to be bullshit but I don't doubt that even with his mediocre lawyers he'll be able to avoid paying out on that for years given how far they were able to stretch things with basically NOTHING factual or sensible.

Supposedly he got over $700 million in 2020 for his campaign for reference.

So this will probably make a dent in his and the ability of the RNC to campaign effectively, which is good, but I really doubt its sufficient on its own to be a game changer there either.

Would love to be wrong on this of course but the guilty verdicts for the criminal cases against him are what I'm really jonesing for.

Does GoFundMe have any guard rails in place to stop people from creating official-looking email addresses and verification when poo poo like this happens? Because grifters looking to make money off of the Trump grievance crowd are looking to strike now (more than usual....maybe he'll have a WITCH HUNT-themed NFT coming out soon. If there isn't one of Engoron shirtless and jacked I'll be disappointed).

IIRC correctly, per NYC law, Trump can't appeal without putting up at least the total (if not more, counting interest) of the $355 million judgement as bond. Even if he drains the RNC's coffers, and gets a shitload of donations, he still has other legal cases pending and at some point the people he owes money to are going to start seizing his poo poo. And short of filing for personal bankruptcy, there's nothing he can do about it (and potentially not even then, since bankruptcy courts tend to frown on people using bankruptcy to stiff their creditors, and that's not even considering that the judgement from a fraud case is likely to be ineligible to be discharged in bankruptcy proceedings anyways). And that's not even counting the $83 million he still owes from the defamation lawsuit.

To put it bluntly: Trump is hosed.

Yeah I saw.

Still if the dent that and this makes isn't big enough to lose them a seat in the Senate and/or some seats in the HoR that they should've won otherwise then I'd say its not a game changer.

Big donors might not be giving much to the RNC because they're worried Trump will steal it but they're still plenty of capable of dumping truck loads of cash to various PAC's at will.

Exactly! For example: even if Trump gets enough money from the RNC (which, IIRC, is having their own fundraising woes at the moment) to pay off hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees and judgements and penalties, that's also money he no longer has available to spend on his presidential campaign. If someone can't see just how hosed he is from that alone, well I dunno what to tell 'em.

There are a looooot of buildings in downtown SF that have been charging premium rent for at least the last two decades and deferring any kind of real maintenance or modernization and surprise, surprise, ain’t no one going to pay market rate for bad office space with ancient hvac/power and 40-yo finishes when vacancy rate is like 20%

I hate how "it'll get overturned on appeal" is such a meaningless, nebulous claim that it's everyone's first and last thought. It's "we'll take this all the way to the supreme court!" applied to someone who thinks the supreme court applies to everything ever, and also that they owe him a solid so it's a done deal.

Agree with this sentiment alot but I wasn't trying to turn this into terrible news either here.

Just tamping down on expectations on how hosed Trump is here or what this would mean for the RNC.

Sydney Bottocks posted:

I'm not doomering at all. I think this will hurt him and potentially the RNC some but its more psychological in that terms than real. I want to see some real suffering for this rear end in a top hat not just a hit to his wallet.

His FL estate. Its way overvalued (I think Engoron even mentioned this) but he can still live in luxury if he keeps that.
