Trump fears he may have to "sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices"
Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the judge who imposed a $450+ million penalty in his New York fraud case after his lawyers admitted he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the case.
Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked a New York appeals court to stay the enforcement of the judgment in his fraud case, saying it has been impossible to secure a bond necessary to appeal the judgment after approaching 30 different underwriters.
The former president lashed out at the judge on Truth Social after the filing.
“Engoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling - A first!” Trump falsely wrote. New York law requires a defendant to put up the full judgment amount with interest in order to appeal a civil judgment.
It's more than just not commiting crimes. These are civil judgements, after all, and technically not criminal matters. But at their heart, we will find lots and lots of lying. Lying about his interaction with Carroll, lying about the values of his properties, all very public lies. Lying to the point where, when his lies are exposed, he keeps lying. His dishonesty has no limits.
It's a Catch -22. He's rich, therefore he must be smart. The people who vote for him think it's their fault they haven't got money. They love him because he acts the way they would if they were rich.
I like to read old comics. Pretty much every Superman cover from the 1950s shows Supes doing something that looks stupid or evil. "Why Is Superman Throwing Lois Into a Volcano?" And of course there's always a great reason, because Superman can never be a bad guy.
Yeah, but the comment you replied to said he was an asshole pre-68.
Edit: Oh okay, they said from 1950 on, you said the change was 1968 - he was an asshole after then. You were just saying it happened later, I thought it was maybe the other way around or something.
It's a good question, we'd need to talk to someone involved with DC editorial from back then.
But taking a primary symbol of America and portraying him in a negative light just after the Vietnam war turned really ugly sure seems to have been intentional.
It's important to note that the CONTENT of the book never really changed, just the covers.
It really is wild to me how people equate wealth with intelligence. So many people think the biggest dumbasses in the world are literal geniuses just because they got tons of money lol it's crazy.
The misogyny and sexism unfortunately are also on the other side of that, for more than half the people who follow him. Since some of the women are also conditioned to see that as a good thing. And most of the men, of course.
Did you know that no cats were in any of those films? I think it should be a requirement that every film created has at least one cat in it. Space cats. Meow.
