About that - the company and that billionaire is already on a whole bunch of radars: https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1775842084252959136?t=Cz9gHLXTdhVjSaMsA7DZMQ&s=19 I believe there's also poo poo set up so that a defendant can't just have a shady bond company cover a judgement, then have the bond company go "whoopsie I declare bankruptcy" when the appeal fails. The quote of "hmm we thought he was going to be pledging bonds to us and it was all cash! He's so rich!" was pretty suspect from this dude too. Entirely possible this bond company won't work because legally, there would be too much risk that the state wouldn't get their money if/when the appeal crashes and burns.

The Eyes Have It posted:The saddest one has got to be the guy I read about a few years ago. Joined up, fairly new ... Dang. When I worked retail a guy came in for an interview & on his way out must have thought he did poorly as but to make the trip worthwhile grabbed an Xbox from the shelf & ran out the door. Minor flaw in his plan, he had given all his real contact info to the store so wasn’t much of a whodunnit. Also it was an empty display box. Don’t think we hired him.

The Eyes Have It posted:The saddest one has got to be the guy I read about a few years ago. Joined up, fairly new ... Yeah that’s chump change and wouldn’t even fill up one bank ATM. I once moved a truck stacked with so much money I was forced to put it in the cab up front breaking every rule imaginable from insurance to policy due to my management team telling me to “just get it done.” Click. (Second truck had broke down and chase driver called off). My driver was brand new first day didn’t even have a gun and I deadbolted his side of the truck and he asked why. “Company policy and I just want to be sure you won’t take off on me” He quit at the end of the shift. He was shaking so badly he could barely drive. The industry is hosed. However it’s mostly all insured. Insurance is cheaper than doing safely or securely. Until it isn’t.

Secret's out! https://twitter.com/frankrunyeon/status/1775938862189101263?t=60Igb_hUPkdtEAE5B0Fu2Q&s=19 So to wriggle out of Donnie's new jam (which will happen), the bond company needs to somehow become licensed by New York, or open a subsidiary in New York, or somehow prove they'll be able to directly pay the judgment (not just be a flow-through for Donnie's fake collateral). The corrected bond submission an hour ago doesn't fix any of that. Or, Donnie has to find another bond company. And so a new 10-day clock has started - if this isn't resolved by then, NYAG can start collecting on the judgment.

Donnie submitted a legal thing, NY AG said LEGAL THING BAD, now Donnie/bond company need to legally respond. That new clock allows the company to put together their legal argument that their shittery isn't bullshittery. AreWeDrunkYet posted:Because privilege means you get as many tries as you need. This is an important case about serious people, you aren’t seriously going to hold him to the same standards as all the rabble who have to follow a judge’s instructions the first time. I've always thought that two-tiered justice both refers to rich/poor and white collar / blue collar. Donnie's a special rich white collar boy, so these systemic stall-points are tailor-made for him.

If this stuff pisses you off more than it makes you laugh, I’m sorry but you might be doing it wrong. I mean this poo poo is hilarious. He’s never gonna be president again, he will do jail time, and he’ll be destitute. All within the next 48 months. Even if only 1 of those happens it’s a huge lol for me dawg. If the mcstroke doesn’t get him first. Laugh and enjoy watching Rome burn, I say.

for me it's one of those sad chuckles because yeah it's funny that he steps on rakes constantly, but somehow they always stop before actually smacking him in the nose. and it's hard not to look at it as a broader pattern of the same poo poo, where awful people like him may not be ultimately successful in 100% of the poo poo they do, but they still manage to get 80% of it done and we're all meaningfully worse off for it. alternatively: LtCol J.

For as slow as the feds have been, it's absurdly fast compared to some of the states: https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1775958049204650186?t=6xQDB6Rvvcw12VCn-eXKhQ&s=19 A few weeks ago legal observers were wondering if this particular investigation was getting close to charging decisions, so this one's fun!

Trump will never be president again The destitute and in jail is a reach, I fully admit, but he’s never getting the reigns of power again.

thanks for the responses, everyone. so he can potentially wriggle his way out of the j6/classified stuff, but not so much the ny/georgia voter fraud stuff. is he looking at any jail time for the state level stuff or is it mostly fines/forfeiture? if he is, then for comedy's sake and not actually, i hope he gets elected because it would be really funny to see him running the country and doing press statements in an orange jumpsuit and holding cabinet meetings on the bleachers in the yard, appointing aryan brotherhood members to high level government positions

Mandatory minimum of 5 years in Georgia under their RICO statute, I believe. Edit- yes, it’s a 5-20 year sentence, with 5 being the mandatory minimum. If he loses that case, which I doubt he does, he’s definitely dying in prison.
