msukiwi:

Great quote from a YT chat covering "The State of the Nation" Biden speech.

"if everyone gets education then trump will loose his supporters"

Unfortunately, many MAGA supporters believe that "education" = "Fake News". 🙄

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/08/politics/trump-carroll-83-million-defamation-bond-appeal/index.html >> well, he's found something from somewhere.

Mind you, with this happening: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/08/politics/trump-republican-national-committee/index.html they'll probably just write him as many blank cheques as he wants, if they can afford it.

Trump responds to Judge: "Woah! It's like I'm being punished here! What's up with this guy?" ;)

"former president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump to serve as the new chair of The Republican Party, also known as the GOP (Grand Old Party)".

In future news, GOP declares bankruptcy

Also in future several board members awaiting charges of accounting fraud, intentional manipulation of financial statements to hide corporate and foreign nation transactions, misleading legal and regulatory authorities and the public.

Trump has posted a bond in the defamation case.

Wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if he was telling the truth and had never met Carroll and ends up having to pay nearly $100 million to somebody who is lying.

Of course in reality I actually believe she is telling the truth.

It would be easier for Trump to win his defamation case in the UK than in the US, because the UK has a lower bar for defamation.

Also noteworthy the magazine "The New Republic" is a conservative magazine.

The New Republic: Stable Genius Trump Hit With Massive Fine in Steele Dossier Lawsuit

Donald Trump must have gotten tired of winning, because he just added a six-figure legal bill to his ever-growing pile of lawsuit fines.

A London judge has ordered Trump to pay £300,000 (or $382,000) in legal fees for Orbis Business Intelligence, court documents released Thursday showed. Orbis is a consulting firm founded by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele.

During his career in British intelligence, Steele ran the Russia desk. In 2016, he compiled a dossier that alleged Trump and members of his inner circle had been “compromised” by Russia’s security service. Documents in the dossier, which have not been verified, claimed Russia had been grooming Trump for collaboration for years. Two memos also said that Trump had participated in “sex parties” in St. Petersburg and received “golden showers” from sex workers in Moscow.

Trump sued Orbis, claiming he had “suffered personal and reputational damage and distress,” particularly from the sex-related claims. He has denied all the allegations in the dossier, which was leaked to and then published by Buzzfeed in 2017.

But presiding Judge Karen Steyn threw the case out last month, saying it was “bound to fail.” And now, she has ordered Trump to reimburse Orbis for the company’s legal fees incurred during the daylong hearing.

Why would a (self-declared/so-called) billionaire need to get a bond from a bond company? I would imagine that getting this sort of money together would be no problem for someone like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. They're billionaires too, aren't they? 😃

Several reasons. 1. Trump doesn't have liquid assets. 2.Trump will try to stiff that bond company any way he can to avoid actually paying when the time comes and probably be already has or thinks he can.

@quickymart:

It's not a "bond company". It's a subsidiary of Chubb, whose CEO Evan Greenberg is a friend and was appointed in 2018 to an advisory role in a committee for trade policy and negotiations inside Trump's White House.
