  1. I was fine on it for a year and a half, until I wasn't. Oh well.
  2. Who is the jackass off camera laughing at that stale-ass "peekaboo" line? Does Trump have his version of a racist Ed McMahon?
  3. Thank you, internet.
  4. They just slow-rolled the trial on Trump. Damn you, Garcetti! Much like a water bottle.
  5. I'd be willing to bet that if OJ had any regrets in his life, it was taking that and other pictures with Trump. What a moral low point for him.
  6. Looks like he had a bit too much McDonald's for lunch.
  7. Username sort of checks out.
  8. The best dilution. Most people don't know that, but it's true.
  9. Anyone with skills want to modify the aggy roller coaster shamepaint with Trump's head on the aggy body? I'm assuming you meant 36 million shares, in that they eventually will be trading at around $1 per share.
  10. Good luck with that strategy. Of course, when it doesn't work, I fully expect to see this next:
  11. If I may quote another illustrated character: "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women."
  12. This. Mostly likely, it was a terrible, tactical miscalculation rather than misguided, wishful thinking.
  13. I thought the District Court (Panel) in Citizens United upheld the constitutionality of BCRA?
  14. Looks like perjury has consequences after all. I suspect he has money too. https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-organization-cfo-allen-weisselberg-sentenced-5-months/story?id=109083135&utm
  15. It's like people other than Trump try to hide their fraudulent intent.
  16. Have we figured out the D2F ratio in this scenario?
  17. I don't think they mean all-caps rants on Truth Social. The clock ticks on. My only regret is that there are so few shares available to short.
  18. Yes, the bond, when properly made, stays execution on the judgment. He does not need a bond to appeal, but if he doesn't file one, he is exposed to execution on the judgment. As others have mentioned, the bond is more for the judgment creditor in this case since Trump's chances of success on appeal are slim. But it seems to me that if he played paperwork games with this bond and the deadline has passed, he is exposed to execution on the judgment at the judgment creditor's discretion. But to the extent NY and Texas are similarly situated in the law, he did not need it to file an appeal. He wanted it, albeit in a smaller amount. Whether he/his lawyers are playing stupid games, the logical outcome, to me, would be that there is no bond at present and he slow rolls correcting this at his financial peril (which I know is a hypothetical to most and my analyzing it like it's normal leaves this open to dismissive retorts on that basis; but speculation is not what I do).
  19. That's pretty fast. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-gag-order-hush-money-juan-merchan-0a10c7ee0236f760ce50c05cafb163ef?utm
  20. I'm not a bankruptcy specialist (although I am married to one). I also can't predict the future. I'll hang onto the hope, and as you suggest, I'll let you know. But you're not wrong about his past and your assessment of him as a person. The fact remains that he needs a Chapter 11 plan to be approved. If he can't get the plan confirmed, the options are either that the bankruptcy is dismissed or converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation (if I understand the basics correctly). My impression of bankruptcy judges, particularly from what I've heard about the Southern District, is that their tolerance for bullshit isn't terribly high. That said, 11s are complicated and I realize they don't move swift enough for Surly justice.
