Look, no one more deserves to be mistreated, and no one more deserves a system rigged against him, than Trump.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, politics played a large part of this, and you'll see it as the BS hits the the light in the courts

He will be condemned in the Courts, and he deserves it.

I'm sorry, we've been in the "2024 Election Cycle" since 2021.

The problem he knows the minute he gets in front of a jury, he's done. And then Americans will have to ask themselves if they want to elect a convicted felon.

As the polls clearly show, WE DO.

The mistake you make is thinking that there still is any legitimacy to the term "convicted felon".

 

[excalibur]

No one is denying Trump's day in court.

The problem here is that Trump isn't as rich as he claims he is. This is what got him in trouble to start with. He lied to banks about the value of his properties.

And after a lifetime of bankruptcies, frauds, stiffing his lawyers, cheating his employees, surprise, surprise, no one wants to loan him the money even with collateral on buildings that aren't worth what he claims they are.

That isn't what the thread is about.

However, much of Trump's wealth is in real estate. Duh.

To get the ~$500 million he needs a consortium of lenders, and many don't want to fall afoul of the Marxist AG Letitia James.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Nah, most don't trust Trump anymore than they trust excalibur.

Deep down I suspect you wish you had found different wording . That sentence is badly wrong .
I also suspect it is very hard to accept that you will lose in a landslide with your own candidate being such a travesty . Something which you dare not publicly admit.

However , you know that you never ever change a system undemocratically if you follow the Rule of Law . Let alone when the only motive for doing it would be self advantage

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Even when trying to be a bit sympathetic to Trump, the left speaks the quiet part out loud. Trump has no rights as they see it.

The quiet part being that Trump deserves to have the system rigged against him and deserves mistreatment.

How evil is that?!?

And how many leftoids feel the same way?

How un-American they indeed are.

Look, no one more deserves to be mistreated, and no one more deserves a system rigged against him, than Trump.​

​

The essence of Trump’s argument on appeal is that the supposed harm he caused was minimal at best — all his lenders were repaid — and that the penalty levied against him was therefore wildly excessive. The conundrum is that the very size of the judgment, and the consequent size of the bond that Trump is required to post, might make him unable to appeal. Trump could pursue his case, but in the meantime, James would be entitled to seize and sell off the former president’s assets.​

​

That can’t be right. It would mean that the more outrageous and disproportionate a damages award is, the harder it is to appeal.​

​

As Trump’s lawyers argued to the state appeals court: “A bond requirement of this enormous magnitude, effectively requiring cash reserves approaching $1 billion, is unprecedented for a private company. Even when it comes to publicly traded companies, courts routinely waive or reduce the bond amount. Enforcing an impossible bond requirement as a condition of appeal would inflict manifest irreparable injury” on Trump.​

​

On the other side of the equation, Trump’s lawyers argue, “waiving the bond requirement will impose no cognizable harm on the Attorney General. The case involves no actual victims and no award of restitution, and she is fully protected by [Trump’s] real-estate holdings.” They have offered to post a $100 million bond.​

​

For her part, James contends that the court lacks the flexibility to modify the bond requirement. And doing so, she says, “would severely harm [the Office of Attorney General] and the public interest by undermining … the fundamental purpose of an appeal bond — i.e., to ensure that prevailing plaintiffs have their monetary award fully secured to guarantee prompt execution if it is affirmed on appeal.”​

​

I’m not convinced. You won’t find me shedding any tears for Trump if the damages award is eventually upheld and he needs to sell properties or liquidate other assets to satisfy it. Couldn’t happen to a shadier guy. But even Trump deserves his day in appeals court. In the end, the rule of law will be on a steadier footing if he has it.​

[DudleySmith]

Because his wealth is invested?
Wow, you sure do believe a lot of the yarns that your ilk has fed you

He doesn't believe any of that, he just likes the railroad job and fake charges attempting to bankrupt a political enemy of the Democratic Party's criminal syndicate and kiddie raper club.

Trump said he had $400M in cash. Now his lawyers say ...​

The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com › Politics › The Fix
Feb 28, 2024 — Trump said in a deposition last year that he had $400 million in cash. His lawyer said he would post bond in the full amount.


In an April 2023 deposition, Trump volunteered that he had “substantially in excess of 400 million in cash.”
“Developers usually don’t have cash. They have assets, not cash,” Trump said. “We have, I believe, 400 plus and going up very substantially every month.”

Trump added later that, despite the legal fees he was facing, “I have over 400 — fairly substantially over $400 million in cash. That’s just cash. That’s just cash.”

Appearing on Fox News, Trump lawyer Alina Habba noted that a bond including the full amount would have to be posted and added that “we will be prepared to do that.”

“Unfortunately, they picked the wrong guy to pick on, in my opinion, because he’s strong, he’s resilient, and he happens to have a lot of cash,” Habba added.

Trump’s court dates are a result of the politico-religious Jihad being waged by the Dems / Socialists. No one expects you to be honest but the persecution of Trump is a coordinated effort on the part of the Dems / Socialists. They have called out their DIE hire flunkies in New York and Georgia to use their best Stalinist tactics to destroy Trump.

You totalitarians are lessers and you only understand lies and intimidation.

 

[DudleySmith]

He will be condemned in the Courts, and he deserves it.

He was condemned by crooked banana republic hacks. Quit lying.

 

[JoeB131]

I seriously don't know whether to laugh or cry at your responses.

I asked if bezos or bloomburg had that kind of cash on hand, and you deflect.

early I questioned, in another thread about why the M1911, a handgun made specifically for military use, wasn't on the chopping block, and you deflect to a rant on genocide.

can you give a straight answer to a question, at least ONCE?

Just because you don't like the answers doesn't mean you didn't get an answer.

Rich guys can come up with the money they want if they need to.

Trump isn't rich. His wealth has always been a lie of shady book keeping. Now he's got a 500 million dollar fine he can't pay and his CFO is going to the big house. (Where I'm sure his memory is going to start getting better.)

 

[JoeB131]

As the polls clearly show, WE DO.

The mistake you make is thinking that there still is any legitimacy to the term "convicted felon".

the polls don't show your boy doing any better than he did in 2020.

Once he has a conviction under his belt, it's going to get real for the undecideds.

 

[22lcidw]

Could you once, just once, actually address the issues in the posts you are responding to?

This has nothing to do with Trump and whether or not it's unfair that he has to follow the law like the rest of us.

You are slowly destroying your areas which seems to be on purpose or chronic stupidity. It is time to slowly move out of these areas in their winter years to newer ones on the rise and in the spring of growth.

[martybegan]

Musk was able to come up with 44 Billion to complete his sale of Twitter, which wasn't worth anything near that value.

If Trump is worth 10 billion, he should have no problem coming up with this money.

The problem is, his wealth was always a fraud.

The Truth has finally caught up with him.

He was gaining an asset in that case, not brokering an appeal for a fine.

Joe doesn't care. He's an atheist, a nihilist, and a sociopath. Once he ends he doesn't give a rat's ass what happens to the country after.

Where do get this nonsense from?

There is no $500 million dollar fine. Trump is required to post a bond of $464 Million prior to his appeal of the Civil case.

The vulture pretending to be the New York AG Is threatening to seize Trump's assets. Letitia James is behaving like the obedient DIE hire as she's perched on a tree waiting to swoop down.

It's a display of the sleaziest, most unethical Dem / Socialist behavior. Just more of the same.

 

[JoeB131]

Actually, quite the contrary, he REALLY didn't want to buy Twitter, the owners of Twitter forced him to make good on his offer.

And he was able to come up with the money because he really is rich.

Trump isn't. That's the point. He's been lying about his wealth for years, living in a gaudy hotel he has to sell memberships to maintain.

 

[SweetTea]

He claims he's worth 10 Billion. Coming up with 500 MM shouldn't be a problem.

Why would he have that much uninvested money? That aside, do you think that everyone that has a net worth of $500k has $25k cash on hand?

That is yours and of course you are not hands on in your spouted beliefs. Most progs leave their lily-white areas as soon as the first person of color moves in. For those who stay it is so much fun seeing the violence. So much fun.
