    The only thing Trump ever does is contort his reality to protect his ego, so this statement could have been anticipated

    The meat:

    “Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”

    Only problem with that is that it’s not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.

          Oh, shit! This article is about the cheap fine!?!?

          Donny is in deep shit then.

          (I don’t think this one is a “fine”, bit they other is and I don’t know the right words.)

            The legal term for Engoron’s ruling (New York state civil fraud judgment) is “undertaking.” In the Carroll case (Kaplan, federal defamation), it’s “damages,” a large portion of which are punitive damages.

      What bullshit mental gymnastics of an argument. “I am above the law” is how it reads.

      What would you expect after paying 230K for a fucking blowjob? How many times do you think he did that?

        What’s your opinion on the slut who received $230k for a blowjob? Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?

          Man did you miss the point. Here let me reword the statement to see if you get it this way:

          “What would you expect after paying $230K for a fucking hamburger? How many times do you think he did that?”

          Would you consider spending $230k on a single hamburger a savvy financial decision? Now imagine what you look like when you reply with:

          “What’s your opinion on the restaurant who received $230k for a hamburger. Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?”

          The hell are you even talking about? Neither giving, receiving, paying for, nor being paid for a blowjob are the problem. Paying $230k for a momentary indulgence while simultaneously defaulting on other obligations is the problem.

          She seems very fiscally responsible and leveraged her skills into being overpaid for what she’s good at. Sounds like she did good. I’m proud of her.

          Sure, criticize the woman for charging people for sex rather than the absolute chump who paid a quarter of a million dollars to get his pee-pee sucked and tried to cover it up so his fans wouldn’t find out about it. That sure sounds like the type of smooth brain deflection a trump supporters would try, but the rest of us ain’t stupid or bigoted enough to believe it.

            My point is that neither should be punished. But if one is, then why isn’t the other? As far as I know prostitution is illegal in this country, both for the Johns and those providing services.

              The issue has nothing to do with sex work. Trump wasn’t being prosecuted for buying sex. He was indicted for using political donations to bribe someone, and you think that should somehow be legal? Just stop with this ridiculous exercise in whataboutism. Your head is way too far up your ass to make any sense.

            Ohhhh, I thought for a moment he literally paid $230k for a hooker. Like, that’s what it would take to get someone to suck him off. You’re talking about the bribe after.

            It says a lot that the first thing is still kinda believable, though.

          Jesus fucking christ. Is this a real opinion? Like, not only is this the thought that came to your mind, but after going through the cognitive filter, you decided this is both an accurate and acceptable thing to say?

          Reconsider your values and the harm/benefits they bring. You need help.

          No, using money stolen from your campaign to pay for it. And that besides the fact Trump is a sex offender as a matter of fact (eg Carrol). But even if it was not completely consensual, Ms Daniels would have no credibility in the US. So taking a payout was the best she could hope for.

          The coverup is what gets them usually. And also here. Look at the hush money charges.

          I think I’m in the wrong business. How long does a BJ take? Like max 15 minutes, probably less once I get some more experience. I would just have to work one afternoon then be set for the year.

          Oh my sweet summer child.

          There’s actually fairly few people who wouldn’t blow someone for $230k given the opportunity. There are however very few people who have been paid $230k for a blow.

          I have mad respect for someone who can secure that kind of money for someone everyone else does for free.

          You can call her a slut if that makes you feel better about yourself but I suspect that you’re really just envious of someone who is that desirable - I know I am.

          My opinion is she was the smartest person in the room while giving said blow job. $230k for 30 seconds of work. You’d clearance do the same thing for 1% of that amount

          She got paid $230k to suck him off, while you would do it for free. I respect her more than I would respect you.

          he’s a sad sack and she got a quarter million dollars for 2 minutes’ work, 5 if you count how long it took to find it underneath his hamberder belly. this isn’t a moral judgment, it’s just about his utter grossness.

    You mean the judgement that he has to start paying this week? The one which I’m pretty sure he hasn’t even filled a boneless appeal in.

    Not to mention he already posted the 5M+ bond to appeal the other Carroll defamation ruling. If he’s too rich to have to secure his judgement, why’d he do that?

    This waste gets up and complains about the 2 tiered justice system and says he’s a victim of it, yet he’s trying to create a tier just for himself.

    So basically what he is saying is that he wants social security (as in GoFundMe, sponsors and such). So we should call him what he is. A socialist. I bet his clan will love that.

    If he wants to be a part of the gang then he needs to pay up. He needs to pay his dues.
