A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

If the courts don't provide justice, eventually some other means will.

I'm not allowed to say what I hope the other means are. But it sure would be nice if he pissed off Boeing's board...

I was expecting further bullshit and a "justice" system that enables the same but I am still somehow disappointed.

[-] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

So the only hope for any real justice is a heart attack while he's on the john?

FfS AG James should appeal.

The money lets him appeal - it sets the bond for the appeal.

It does not reduce the disgorgement.

Burn it all down

[-] blazera@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

The fuck do they mean an appeals court ruled on this, the 454 million was the appeal, the bond required to be posted to appeal the ruling. No other courts have jurisdiction over this shit, ignore that illegitimate court.

I think this is signaling that they intend to reduce the fine on appeal.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

Of course they intend to reduce the fine on appeal. Donnie owns the purse strings for the RNC. Conservatives cannot afford him going broke.

I’m numb. I care but I don’t. Nothing surprises me anymore. Fuck this guy and all his toadies.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Someone just needs to end this already by any means necessary. If the justice system won't provide justice, someone else will.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago

US is an oligarchy.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Is anyone still buying into these theatrics? They clearly aren't going to do anything to their both sides parties.
