Funkified Trump.
Frankly I prefer listening to William Shatner’s The Transformed Man!

Just a fun thought-experiment: if Mitch McConnell would actually resign from the Senate, I’d love to see the fireworks if Gov. Andy Beshear would decide to test the constitutionality of Kentucky’s Senate-replacement law*, designate his own candidate, and let the Senate (and courts) fight it out….
*Gov has to choose from a list of three provided by the former incumbent’s Party org.

RE: Trump lawyers handing Engoron a phone book sized motion to look through:

The motion isn’t to alter the judgment. They want the judge to allow him to front “only” $100M as a security deposit, to stay the judgment while the appeals take place. Their argument basically boils down to, “My client is too poor to afford fronting the whole judgment, and if you force him to do this, the entirety of the New York real estate market will explode in hellfire and brimstone.” Which is bullshit on its face, of course, but it’s an attempt to delay the inevitable.
re: #383 Semper Fi
Trump’s lawyers file a nearly 1800 page motion to stay the 464m ruling. Obvious delay, delay, delay attempt.
That’s gotta be against local rules.
re: #7 BeenHereAwhile
That’s gotta be against local rules.
It is, but they probably also filed alongside it a motion for the judge to let them go overlength, which is usually granted if they can come up with any halfway legitimate reason.

Hes offering to put up $100M bond instead of $454M because, “ban on obtaining loans from NY banks makes it impossible to cover the full amount.”
That’s like getting sentenced to prison and asking if you could serve your sentence at a hotel instead, because you have a hard time sleeping in a prison cell.

It would likely be held constitutional. Arizona has a similar law - vacancies must be filled by a member of the same party. Definitely within the scope of the 17th Amendment:
When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.
The crux of his argument here is, “I can’t get a loan to cover the amount, and if you make me sell my buildings, I can’t just get those back if I win on appeal.” Which is, surprisingly, not a terrible argument on its face. I don’t think he wins that argument, especially the whole “I can’t get a loan to cover the amount” part (that’s, erm, part of the punishment for fraud, jackass), but it’s not a terrible argument to make.

He also has a decent argument that there is a court appointed monitor/receiver in place that would be able to deal with any transactions that might be necessary to satisfy the judgment post-appeal. I think the courts will not be inclined to force sales of real estate until after the appeals are resolved anyway.
re: #8 Nerdy Fish

Assumes facts not in evidence. Fact at issue: competency.
I have been looking for the motion, but I’d guess that the total length is due to the attachments and exhibits, not the motion proper.
1800 pages is egregious, regardless of the issue. That shows a stunning lack of ability to narrow the issue to the one at hand. This is just a grievance motion that woe is me, despite fact he’s been touting his billions and ability to pay, but when push comes to shove, it turns out that no one is truly willing to risk putting up a bond for him on the total amount, and he doesn’t have the funds available to cover it out of cash (which is due to his wealth locked up in debt and real estate holdings, where one sale causes a domino of other financial liabilities all across his businesses).

Or he could just, you know, appeal without the stay. If he’s as confident in his appeal as he says he is, then his assets are safe during the whole process, right? Surely the appeals court will overturn his conviction before the automatic stay of judgment expires.

Also true. I still don’t see this going Trump’s way, but for him, it’s worth a shot. The only risk is the time it takes for this to settle out, and he may not be able to get enough liquid capital in hand in time if it goes against him.

Just got some sad news. My friend, Carlottia Scott, died yesterday.
I had just posted about her last month.
A bit about her from democrats.org
Carlottia A. W. Scott, an organizer, advocate, and strategist, served for almost thirty-five years on Capitol Hill as Chief of Staff to Congresswoman Barbara Lee and former Congressman Ronald V. Dellums of California. She also served as the former Political Director for the Democratic National Committee.
She is a former advisor to the Smithsonian Institution, the Global Fund for Women, the Mandela Freedom Fund, the Women’s Information Network (WIN), the Women’s Campaign Research Fund, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the International Foundation on Election Systems (IFES).
More here:
history.house.gov
Before becoming the chief of staff for California Representatives Ronald V. Dellums and Barbara Lee, she worked for the Committee on the District of Columbia, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and Congresswoman Cardiss Collins of Illinois. Throughout her career, she advocated for diverse perspectives in the legislative process.
She was a true force of nature.

re: #19 lawhawk
Found the motion. It’s essentially 13 pages, with nearly 2,000 pages of exhibits of Trump whining and ignoring the law that explicitly requires the prescribed amounts.
Moreover, the AG’s office indicates in its reply that Trump can still seek a surety to cover the bond as that’s not part of the judge’s ruling against financial dealings.
If he doesn’t get shivved in six years, he’ll have picked up the social skills to get him through the rest of his life in prison.
Sam Bankman-Fried Calls for Shorter Prison Sentence, Citing Autism
am Bankman-Fried’s attorneys suggested a sentence of five to six years in prison, sharply lower than the roughly 100 years that he faces for stealing billions of dollars from FTX customers.
In a nearly hundred-page sentencing memo filed late Tuesday, lawyers for Bankman-Fried argued for 63 to 78 months in jail, citing autism spectrum disorder and his intentions to better the world with his now-fallen crypto exchange.
A New York jury found Bankman-Fried guilty on all seven counts he faced last year. Prosecutors called the case one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history. Bankman-Fried’s sentencing is scheduled for March 28.
A lengthy prison sentence would pose a risk to Bankman-Fried’s safety, due to his autism spectrum disorder, his lawyers said. Because people with the disorder may struggle with social cues and norms, they may be more likely to fail to respond in an expected way to other inmates and prison guards, they wrote.

Fox continues fearmongering about migrant crime, and putting mug shots of various migrants on TV as proof of crime being out of control.
Crime remains at or near multidecade lows. Crime is down from when Trump was in office. It’s down from 10 years ago, let alone 20 or 30 years.
Migrant crime is a fraction of all crime in the nation, and most of that crime is white on white (if you get into the demographics of who commits the crime and who the victims are).
But if we want to talk about crime sprees and the need to enforce the law, let’s start with Trump. 91 fucking indicted charges across multiple states with multiple coconspirators some of whom have already cut plea deals. You’ve had multiple GOP officials involved in child porn and other similar criminal conduct - many connected to the Trump campaign no less.
Then there’s Lauren Boebert’s son, who was indicted on more than 20 charges in a wide range of crimes.
The entire GOP is lawless, and don’t want the laws applying to them. It’s all projecting like IMAX all the time.

And good luck making that argument in good faith and expecting it to stick. Morons. If he’s good for the money, then front the damn cash like the court told you to. You’ll get it back with interest once everything dies down, if you’re not actually guilty, of course.

re: #49 lawhawk
Supreme Court further compounds its error by awarding unprecedented disgorgement. Supreme Court’s ignorance of corporate realities and the corporate form is nowhere more evident than in the disgorgement awards, where single-purpose entities that entered into discrete loan agreements with respect to one property have been made jointly and severally liable for purported “ill-gotten gains” arising from loan agreements with respect to an entirely different entity and property, with different employees and managers, in a different state

Exactly - Trump purposefully set up these small business corporations (LLCs, LLPs, and S corps) to hide assets, misallocate income, generate income, and hide revenue from tax authorities.
He’s bristling over the fact that someone from the outside is looking hard at every business decision and finding that every last one of his decisions was in furtherance of a fraud.

There’s also some undefined sinus thing going around as well, we are masking everywhere because catching anything at this point in her treatment would probably kill my wife.

Covid, flu, rsv, there are certainly a bunch of viruses and other nasty stuff floating around out there.

re: #102 No Malarkey!
Mississippi expands Medicaid! Seven years after failing to repeal it, the GOP is gradually accepting Obamacare, state by state. Millions are still being denied coverage in Texas and Florida though.

And the MAGAt cult continues to vote against their best interests.

OOPs. Make that half a million tons. (Same principle.)
The US achieved a minor miracle last year, finally completing the disposal of all of its stockpile of chemical and nerve agent weapons dating from the 1960s. The program to carry out the destruction of the warheads and their contents was about fifteen years late and several billion dollars over budget.

I’m dealing with it now.
It began with lots of sneezing about 10 days ago. Best to see the Doc as it is nasty.
A belated response to a discussion from last evening: IANAD and have no background in epidemiology — but there has been alarm raised about the potential spread of measles throughout this country due to the influence of anti-vaxxers. We are still talking about only 35 cases nationwide to date — and there is a highly effective vaccine at preventing the disease. Most Americans have immunity either because (like me) they had the disease before vaccines were available or they are vaccinated. I don’t think we are close to facing a crisis or an epidemic. In 2019, there were 1275 cases reported nationwide. We are nowhere near that level now (obviously this can change quickly). Yes — let’s warn people that they should protect themselves and castigate those attempting to weaken protections, but it’s not time to panic over this.

In his heart he has inexhaustible wealth
In his heart, he thinks he has nothing. So he must always seek more Something to fill that hole.

A few friends have experienced knee replacement surgery. A couple of them needed both knees. They had one replaced then the following year the other.
I was in Hastings, ND in the 2000 and a friends wife had both knees replaced at the same time. Tough little gal.
re: #159 Semper Fi
Hopefully, I’ll have the other one done later this year. Depends on when the wife gets her second rotator cuff surgery. We’re a mess over here.

Thankfully there is a medical system that can handle so many of our needs as we age.
re: #65 Mike Lamb
I have to admit that I haven’t followed the SBF stuff closely, but, at my very superficial level, 100 years seems like a pretty stiff sentence for this type of crime.
Doesn’t seem much different than Bernie Madoff and he got 150 years.

Since Trump as mob boss has a bit of traction.
