The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

This fight is for everything.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

    Favorite meme today:

    Stormy says “Dotard likes to be spanked!”

    Joe Biden in the next frame, laughing: “I know!  I spanked him once and he just won’t shut up about it!”

    This centuries-old landmark will host Olympics after $500m makeover

    So what Olympic event can they have in Notre Dame? Processional cross polevaulting?

    … Actually the Notre Dame rebuild was Billions, so its something else.

    Are they talking about Sleepy Joe Brandon? I hear that he’s old. In fact, he’s even older today than he was yesterday!

    Situation Room?  It hardly matters if he’s awake or asleep – his mind is not up to the job.  Never has been.

    Quite possibly, asleep would be best.

    Keep up the snarky comments and reposting the memes, these thin skinned pricks hate being made fun of, especially the chief prick!  Derision is our weapon and there’s so much opportunity.

    Why the frak do we care that Trump glared at his sycophant Maggie Haberman.  It just shows you how out of touch the so-called mainstream media is.

    Trump says he’s got the cash, really.  In his Schwab account, really. So there’s no need for a hearing, really!

    In court filings Monday night, Trump said the bond secured by Knight Specialty Insurance Company is backed by Trump’s Charles Schwab account with more than $175 million in cash. Knight Specialty can take control of the Schwab account and is fully backed by its parent company to assume any risk, one of Trump’s filings said.

    “The DJT Trust granted KSIC a security interest in a Schwab brokerage account, in which the DJT Trust is obligated to maintain no less than $175 million in cash or cash equivalents at all times,” according to an affirmation filed in support of the bond by Gregory Serio, a former superintendent of insurance for New York state and partner of Park Strategies, a government consulting firm.

    . . .

    “The documentary evidence in support of justification is overwhelming and obviates any need for a hearing to set aside the exception or to justify KSIC as surety,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in a court filing.

    it’s an ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE.

     

    Armando (@ArmandoNDK) posted at 7:43 AM on Tue, Apr 16, 2024:
    Lol wut? This case isn’t about a campaign “misfiling.” It’s about a falsification of a business record to conceal a crime. If you want to refer to it as a “campaign finance crime” instead of election interference, fine, who cares?

    This is trying entirely too hard.

    @Scout211: There’s some speculation that the reason he didn’t just post the bond himself to avoid the bond fees, if he really has $175 million in the bank, is that the cash is already obligated in some other way, and he’s basically trying to use it as collateral twice at the same time. This is something the court monitor should be able to discover.

    Don Snorleone is not going away as a meme or even as a news report.   The media is watching  for the snores. This from the NBC live updates just now:

    Trump is  periodically leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes, only to shift his weight moments later.

    It is difficult to say whether he has fallen asleep or is resting his eyes.

    It looks like the supreme court justices are dancing on the head of a pin about whether you need a physical document to have obstruction in the case that’s being argued before the court today.

    @Scout211: if the account is required to keep a minimum of 175 million in the account at all times, doesn’t that mean that he wouldn’t be able to use that money for his obligations, if the ruling isn’t overturned?

    A new study out is highlighting that since roe was overturned demand for permanent sterilization for women under age 30 has increased significantly.

    Many women are choosing sterilization as the best option to protect themselves in a political climate where misogynistic lawmakers seek to control women’s reproductive healthcare access.

    Prosecutors file motion for contempt against Donald Trump

    In the motion filed on Tuesday, prosecutors argue that Trump “wilfully violated this court’s [gag] order by publishing several social media posts attacking two known witnesses – Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.”

    In one of Trump’s social media posts, he called his former lawyer Michael Cohen a “disgraced attorney and felon” before going on to call judge Juan Merchan and prosecutors “thugs.”

    @WaterGirl: My guess is he can still use it to guarantee the bond but he defaults on whatever loans the $175 million is required for if he has to use the money to satisfy the judgment.

    Well whadaya know…contrary to Fascist/TERF talking points, the vast majority of Transgender People are happier after transitioning:

    Despite those negative experiences, the vast majority of adult respondents, 79%, who lived at least some of the time in different genders from the ones they were assigned at birth reported that they were “a lot more satisfied” with their lives. An additional 15% reported they were “a little more satisfied.”

    @rikyrah: That’s very sad.

    Cue the controlling assholes (Republicans) who tell women under 30 that they aren’t capable of making a permanent choice like that.

    Maybe not until they are 2 years older than whatever age they happen to be at any age.  Gotta make those white babies and adoption slaves.

    smith

    @Smiling Happy Guy (aka boatboy_srq): Yes, he could be double-committing that cash for the two bonds, which I assume is criminal fraud. Another possibility, given that filing says the account holds, or may hold “cash equivalents” is that he’s planning to replace the cash with DJT stock (now down more than 12% today).

    @WaterGirl: Since they seem ready to outlaw IVF, birth control, and surrogacy, there’s no reason to think they won’t outlaw sterilization as well, at least for women.

    @smith: is that he’s planning to replace the cash with DJT stock

     

    1. His company could release him from the stock lockup requirements.
    2. If NOT, then the lockup probably has terms that prohibit lending or promising said stock, which is what he would be doing.  Lots of people will be watching this.

    @rikyrah: I watched the GMA story about this. He had been called multiple times by a scammer trying to get money out of him by saying he had a relative locked up. On that day, the man was told by a scammer that a driver would come by to pick up a package. The scammer then called Uber to send a driver to pick up a package from the guy. The old man thought she was working for the scammer. No, he shouldn’t have shot her, but this story is way more complicated than this simple analysis.
