It seems to me that the imminent filing of a judgment in the Leticia James Civil Fraud Trial will start a 30-day clock running during which Trump will have to either put up something like $500 million (the entire judgment amount, including accrued interest) in cash, or secure a bond in excess of that amount, in order to appeal Judge Engoron's judment and stay enforcement of the judgment, or pay the judgment in full in the amount of about $500 million.
It also seems to me that Trump does not have $500 million in cash and that he will not be able to obtain a bond in the amount required as bonding agents do not want real estate assets as collateral, and besides, bonding agents know Trump's nature and will not want to do business with him.
So it may be that enforcement of Judge Engoron's order may force Trump into bankruptcy or otherwise Trump will face seizure and liquidation of enough of his assets to satisfy the judgment.
I'm no lawyer, but this is what I gather from readings on the internet.
TL;DR - Judge Engoron's judgment, if enforced, will ruin Trump financially.
Anybody see things working otherwise?

WTF is wrong with people in this state?
Texans want to see more police, razor wire at US-Mexico border, new UT poll shows
QuoteA majority of Texans want to see more enforcement at the state's southern border with Mexico to deter migrants from crossing into the U.S. illegally and support Gov. Greg Abbott's border security initiatives, such as building border barriers and installing razor wire along the Rio Grande, a new polling says.
Just under two-thirds of those surveyed said they strongly support or somewhat support the allocation of additional state police and military resources to secure the border. It nearly mirrored the 57% of respondents who said they strongly support or somewhat support the installation of buoys and barbed wire along the Texas banks of the Rio Grande, an area where unauthorized crossings have surged in recent years.
The poll was conducted by the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas from Feb. 2 to Feb. 12. It asked 1,200 self-declared registered voters about their opinions on a variety of topics, including gun rights, immigration, abortion and their choice candidate for the 2024 presidential election. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 2.83 percentage points.
Unsurprisingly, plans to further militarize the U.S.-Mexico border were popular among Republican and independent respondents, with 75% and 45%, respectively, strongly supporting the idea. Only 15% of Democrats surveyed showed strong support for border militarization; however, 44% of Democratic respondents showed at least some support for an increased military presence at the border, according to the poll.
The governor announced Friday that Texas will build a permanent military installation along its border with Mexico, signaling that the Texas National Guard deployment there, which is part of Abbott's $11 billion Operation Lone Star, is not likely to end any time soon. The facility will be able to handle up to 1,800 Guard troops with the capacity to expand to accommodate 2,300 troops, Abbott said.
"This will increase the ability for a larger number of Texas military department personnel in Eagle Pass to operate more effectively and more efficiently," Abbott said.
Though an overwhelming majority of respondents signaled support for measures to curb unauthorized border crossings, just under half (48%) of the poll's respondents went so far as to call it a crisis. Nearly 1 in 4 respondents said they would opt to call illegal border crossings "a very serious problem" instead.
Additionally, 49% of respondents argued there is too much legal immigration in the U.S.
Abbott's push for a greater police presence at the border, paired with the installation of buoys in the Rio Grande and razor wire along its shores in Texas, has for months sparked intense public discourse and litigation between the federal and state governments.
The U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling last month sided with the Biden administration, allowing federal agents to cut through state-installed razor wire so that Border Patrol agents can patrol the border, deploy surveillance equipment and reach officers or migrants in distress.
In Eagle Pass in July, USA TODAY reported that several migrants, including children, required hospital treatment for deep cuts and lacerations from the razor wire. The report also cited an internal email from a state trooper obtained by the newspaper stating that the state's efforts had become "inhumane."
Abbott in December also signed a controversial law that allows state law enforcement officers to arrest, detain, and deport individuals suspected of illegally crossing the Texas-Mexico border.
Senate Bill 4, which is set to go into effect in March, allows local and state law enforcement to arrest anyone suspected of crossing the border unlawfully and charge them with a crime ranging from a class A misdemeanor to a second-degree felony. Those found to have violated the law can be jailed or ordered by a magistrate to be returned to Mexico.
Opponents of the law say Texas has no standing to regulate immigration, which is a federal power, and the bill could result in racial profiling of residents by law enforcement. Sixty percent of respondents to the recent Texas Politics Project survey, however, support making it state crime for most undocumented immigrants to be in Texas, with only 33% opposed.

I did not and do not specialize in dildo law.
But I AM the reason that there is a strip club at the location of The Landing Strip (now called "Maximus," I think). As a young law clerk, I worked part-time at a firm that was looking into where the Red Rose (displaced by Ben White expansion) could move. I had to prepare an analysis of the regulatory overlay of three potential locations. The one by the airport had the best mix of regulations (or non-regulations). I recommended it, they took my advice and opened a scrip club there.
You're welcome.
@NeverMarryAStripper thanks you.

Joe Biden is on record saying he wouldn't have run either time if Trump wasn't running. That's not some insane fantasy, he knows he's the best shot to keep DJT out of office.
Back to Jon Stewart, it's like some of you forgot what made him so great. He points out ALL of the absurdity and doesn't care what party it's from or what the "spin" is or how the votes will change because he reports it. He is there to shine a light on the absurdity of the truth of our situation. It's real journalism, unlike what you see from the major networks.
One need only listen to the Crossfire interview for this. He commented that he didn't care who won (between GWB and Kerry) since his material is based on the absurdity of the system.

Well 'Slorch'd' just means you dared reply to the cabal with a dissenting opinion, while the cabal insists it does not exist within its own self-anointed objectivity. Hell, here lately, it just means you might have replied at all in their playground, even with a post that most of them agree with. Abortion thread, I'm looking at you. I call out an idiot politician for being wildly inconsistent and most of the posters get it. The illiterate one just saw my name and did their usual seizure though.
Slorch’d!

Yeah, I'm trying to get my "he's too old" friends/family to look at it from a position of voting for the best cabinet/administration, not individual President (not that that choice should be difficult either). Biden surrounds himself with smart, capable people and has to humility to delegate more to them if/when his faculties begin to fail. Trump surrounds himself with literal swamp creatures.
Just send them this.

Sigh. I see what you did there.
Anytime anyone ever says “nobody knows more about X than me,” that’s a 100% chance you’re dealing with an abject idiot who doesn’t know shit about fuck.
A leader gathers, listens to, and filters I for action. He does so efficiently by relying on whip smart and trustworthy team members.
TFG is the opposite of that.- 1
