I’m not familiar with NY law but most states do not require a bond or deposit  to appeal. That just prevents post judgment collection efforts on appeal. 

If you think Trump has respected his corporate structures and government and not co-mingled funds I don't know what to tell you. I would bet good money piercing the corporate veil would be about as easy as trump eating a big Mac.

Oof.  That's what you get Habba Dabba.  Most predictable response of all time.

He probably pounded that out as he was giving her a cum shot to the eye.

"Maybe next time I'll choose a lawyer with experience".

Good call, former President of the United States. Probably just slipped his mind. Totally not because no one else would represent him.

tl;dr Trump thought she was a Habba Dabba Do, but she's a Habba Dabba Don't.

More nuanced. She’s a Habba Dabba Do blow jobs - but she's a Habba Dabba Don't let her cross examine a witness or try to get exhibits into evidence.

From the article:

Erickson’s recommendation was that the courts should decide whether the 14th Amendment bars Trump’s candidacy. But he also delivered a scathing assessment of Trump’s involvement in the insurrection, writing the former president “fanned the flames” that led to the breach of the Capitol and attempts to fraudulently undo the 2020 presidential election.

“[Trump] does not dispute that he knew violence was occurring at the capitol.. He understood that people were there to support him,” Erickson wrote. “Which makes one single piece of evidence, in this context, absolutely damning to his denial of his participation: the tweet regarding [Vice President] Mike Pence’s lack of courage while [Trump] knew the attacks were going on is inexplicable,” Erickson continued.

“[Trump] knew the attacks were occurring because the attackers believed the election was stolen, and this tweet could not possibly have had any other intended purpose besides to fan the flames,” Erickson wrote.

Gosh, those dots are so hard to connect, too.  Finally, someone did it.

Oddly, he still soft pedals it by saying "inexplicable."  Inexplicable other than his desire that the violence continue.

And, people have been connecting those dots for quite a while now.

This excellent piece by my old friend Ben Weiser notes that it could take years to collect the $88.3 million in judgments against Trump. That is true, except in the following sense:  Carroll could sell the right to collect the judgments to someone else, who would acquire the rights to the proceeds and assume the obligation of managing both the appellate proceedings and the efforts to attach Trump’s property. ...

At last, the obvious counts for something!

Whoever started this campaign found a brilliant move.

Trump is arguably still mounting an insurrection through his authoritarian/totalitarian utterances about misuse of the justice department and military should he gain power. The next obvious thing would be for people to describe Trump as he describes himself: an authoritarian dictator.

Infuriating? Get over yourself.

When I posted the tweet, it had only just begun to circulate, and hadn't yet been debunked in any posts or replies that I could find at the time. As I don't have an account on Truth to verify the source, I went with it.  

Infuriating... What the fuck ever.

I'm not trying to speak on his behalf, however, I think I may get his general idea.  You'd have to believe that from Trump's perspective, he was well aware he was likely lose the case (I'm not sure I agree, but ok).  By making it a grandstanding thing, look at me I'm being persecuted/witch hunt/whatever, he's able to circle the wagons (I'm not sure this was necessary, in my mind, the people that supported him prior are still the same people and vice versa).   If his thought was to gain sympathy from independent voters, I'd argue that this didn't work at all.  However, if his plan all along was to attempt to gain sympathy from independent voters by making it a show of grandstanding I suppose he got the attention (didn't work in my opinion, but he certainly did get attention).  

At certain point, we have to all concede that we are attempting to understand the thoughts a diseased mind.  In the past, my opinion only, it was easier to perhaps attempt to guess the narcissistic logic; however now we have to mix that (which is fundamental to who he is and everything he does) along with rapid onset dementia and all that comes with it.  To people with ordinary functioning brains, just him at a narcissistic level was difficult to comprehend.  Now it's like we've graduated to boss level crazy.  

The funny thing is, no where else on earth will you ever hear someone lose an $80 million plus judgment and in their own mind be of the opinion that somehow they won by doing so.  The narcissistic side of who he is manifest in this thought process.  The dementia side to me is manifest in his baffling belief that somehow this was going to gain him some level of sympathy beyond the usual maga circle.  Basically, he spiked the football on E. Jean Carroll's behalf multiple times for seemingly no apparent reason, and in turn racked up higher damages.

He only listens to his echo chamber and those people tell him that it’s a brilliant strategy.

Not only is this hypothesis contradicting known facts, it fails against Occam's Razor for the facts it does attempt to explain.

Trump thought he'd win. He thought he'd get away with it, yet again. He doesn't know a good attorney from a bad one, except that they're willing to do whatever he wants them to. He failed.

I really don't understand why so many of you are determined to give this idiot more credit than he's earned. He's not going to regain power because of his brilliant scheming; if he regains power, it will be because of the stupidity of those who give it to him.

I'm not trying to tell you any of what he did was smart, quite the contrary.  I am trying to say that in his feeble mind how he perceives this as some sort of victory.  He's wrong.  His pattern is increasingly clear, complete narcissism (nothing new there), compounded now with delusion with (again my opinion) a strong assist to cognitive decline.  He isn't going to do any better in any of the criminal trials either, we will see the same pattern repeated; absolute implosion.  In his mind though, he thinks he's somehow winning, he isn't.

He doesn't see this as a victory, though. Based on every comment I've seen from him since... and comments he made in earshot of reporters...

That, right there, is THE fact that you hypothesis ignores. Not the only one, but it's a doozy.

Here's what I think is going on with Trump.  When confronted with a new factual or legal situation, I think he looks at it pretty much like anyone else in terms of this is good for me or this is bad for me.

As things turn bad for him in an objective way, his genius/madness is the ability to turn that negative into a positive by his relentless flood of bullshit.  At the outset, I think he knows it's bullshit, too.

Where it starts to get weird is that he, like his followers, begins to believe the bullshit.  And probably also that things that are actually bad for him are maybe actually good for him.

The thing is, the stuff that's happening to him now is worse than anything that's happened to him to date.  He can't escape the possibility of conviction and jail time, or liquidation of his NY entities.  In his prior legal entanglements, in the end it was always just money, and, no matter how stiff the judgment, thought he could negotiate and settle for less and then brag about it if anyone questioned him.  Not so much now.

I'm guessing the stress of it is cooking his brain and helps account for his apparently accelerating dementia.

No you go fuck yourself. You don’t need an account. “I don’t have time to do that 5 second thing when I’m on the internet”

By the numbers: Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group, generated a total of $3.38 million in revenue for the first nine months of 2023.

  • It reports a $49 million net loss during the same period, including around $26 million in Q3.

There are some bots on twitter or X or whatever Elon's wet dream is to call it that just reposts Trumps 'Truths' so you don't have to.

Pretty good explanation of it. He grew up I think in the Unitarian Church with all that power of positive thinking crap that he just takes to the extreme. 
What I don’t understand is how his flock thinks of him as a strong man when he is constantly portraying himself as a victim of others who are logically stronger and more powerful than him.  Have you ever seen a public figure who is more victimized than him according to his own response to every situation?  Everything is always “unfair”.
