Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

4 cases, 91 individual indictments.

I know, it’s a lot to keep track of. (And those are just the criminal cases!) There’s also the fraud case in NYC, and the E Jean Carroll case, both of which he’s appealing (and will lose), and Carroll might just sue him again for a hat trick!

There’s also the fraud case in NYC

which he can't afford to pay..... sucka be broke.

It's ok, he is so broke they just reduced the amount because why ever actually do something that negatively impacts him?

I fully expect that he is getting a cut of the ridiculously high lawyer fees.

They only reduced the bond amount he has to pay during appeal, not the judgement amount. And he still can’t seem to come up with an adequate bond— the bond he got came from a shady-ass company that’s not only not licensed to issue bonds in NY, the company itself doesn’t even have the cash to cover the bond it issued, so the court rejected it, lol.

Trump will still lose the appeal and have to fork over the full amount. The bond was just to halt asset seizure during the appeal process.

Will sometime in the future maybe, whatever. He is getting a free pass every step of the way.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Considering he’s supposed to be the one paying them?

Naw. He might take a percentage from the RNCs contributions….
