      If I had to deal with the same smooth-brain at work every day while they insist to make my job more difficult for no other reason than they can, I’d lose a fuck or two along the line as well.

    Every judge who isn’t corrupt should know what the playbook is by now and deny that shit.

      Of all the judges this engoron guy is the only one that seems able to deal with them as you would any other scum bag. Everyone else is so busy trying to act impartial they’re paralysed by inaction.

        Only possible explanation I can come up with is that it’s an alt and he posted from the wrong account.

        There’s really no other way; I mean, squid doesn’t even have it bookmarked, how could someone else get it

      Last I heard he’s grifting his gullible supporters for about $100k/day, but it’s still unsustainable.

        The NY judgement alone is $78k in interest per day until Trump pays it.

        I read the other day that Trump had about $550 million in liquid cash & he can’t touch $50M of it without other loans coming due. Loans he can’t pay & pay the judgement at the same time.

        E. Jean Carroll is about to sue him again.

        Yeah, I imagine his non rich maga acolytes would be out of money soon, and his donors are sick of paying his legal bills. 🤔

          There has to be some atrophy there surely.

          Like imagine you’ve been working hard all these months and donating whatever you can afford… surely there’s a non-zero number of people each week that think “you know what, there’s better ways I could spend this money”.

      His current move is a pressure campaign to get the RNC to pay off his legal debts. Those spineless fucks might just do it.

      The funny part is that he is about to get $4 billion in shares from the truth social stock, so he will be doing pretty well.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The judge overseeing the $355 million civil fraud case has denied Donald Trump’s request to delay the judgment for a month.

    Judge Arthur Engoron told lawyers for Trump and the New York attorney general of his intentions in an email sent Thursday.

    Once the judgment is officially entered, it will start the 30-day clock for Trump to file an appeal.

    In the email, Engoron rejected Trump’s request for an additional 30 days, writing, “You have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay.”

    “The proposed judgment accurately reflects the spirit and letter of the February 16 Decision and Order,” the judge wrote.

    The judge directed the monitor to recommend a person to serve as an independent compliance director for the Trump Organization.

      I’m wondering if the next line is “Proud Mary keep on burning” or “Carry me home to see my kin”
