An on-going thread of Trump's Legal woes

I can’t decide which cult has the most brainwashed adherents: the cult of Trumpism or the cult of Capitalism.

Here’s a Venn diagram to understand those two groups:

In some ways I wish that was the case but there are a fuck-ton of people who worship at the altar of capitalism even if they don’t get along with the Trump crowd. Take Bob Iger, for example: he’s near the top of the MAGA enemies list but he’s all-in for capitalism.

Well this is a pretty damn misleading headline.

“Cash payments revealed” sounds like some sort of under-the-table bribery scheme rather than the mundane revelation that Willis and Wade often paid for things like wine tastings with cash instead of credit cards.

In Newsweek?! No surprise detected.

Although opinion pages in ostensibly nonpartisan, mainstream publications promote political opinions, sometimes controversial ones, Newsweek stands alone among such brands in its willingness to elevate such figures as Jack Posobiec, known for promoting the Pizzagate disinformation campaign, and Dinesh D’Souza, whose film 2000 Mules researchers roundly debunked for spreading conspiracies about the 2020 election. Under Hammer’s leadership, Newsweek has also aired bigoted views, like appearing to call for the state to deny adults access to trans-affirming medical care and supporting a ban on all legal immigration into the U.S. They have also spread baseless conspiracies about COVID-19, with one of Hammer’s collaborators describing vaccines designed to fight the virus as a “bioweapon.”

Yeah, it’s fucking newsweek, so what did you expect.

There really is NO there, there. She didn’t do anything wrong, and the defense lawyers are just trying to drag this trial out to after November.

He’s just like Navalny.

Of course he still can’t bring himself to explicitly condemn Putin for literally doing what he did to Navalny.

That rich dude that started the Gofundme for him.

Why are big business people worried about states that have laws? Are they planning to or already breaking those laws?

Sorry about the source.

“We invest for 14,000 investors at Cardone Capital that depend on cash flow. And if I can’t predict the cash flow because of some ruling, or because of the migrants, or because I can’t evict people, New York City just keeps doing every single thing they can to sell real estate in Florida, not sell real estate in New York,” the fund manager explained.

Of course the article contains no fact checking against his absurd claims.

This is kind of a shitshow for the defense…

[ETA] An overview…

From the little bit I listened to, the judge did not sound too impressed by what the defense “dug” up from Bradley… seems like a nothing burger, just like I suspected it would be.

But did he pay it? Wouldn’t E Jean Carrol have dibs on that money?

The NYT case was dismissed in May of last year and he’s still appealing the E. Jean Carrol case so I think that puts them ahead in line.

If he ends up declaring bankruptcy then the race for his creditors to get paid is going to get much uglier. Until then I don’t think the various cases really have any bearing on each other. If he has anywhere near as much as he says he has then he should be able to pay everyone. And if he doesn’t then they can carve up his properties.
