Do you see me cursing? Read my posts. I'm agreeing with Carroll that this is a good thing for her. It takes Trump out of the game when he loses his appeal. Carroll will receive the judgement award not from Trump but from the bonding company that guaranteed she will quickly get the full amount...

Bannon is Right: "Trump is Bought" "Steve Bannon, the one-time adviser to Donald Trump, suggested on Saturday that the former president was paid off after a shift in stance on TikTok." Bannon is talking about TikTok. Trump did the same flip-flop with Bud Light. When Budwiser held a fundraiser...

What's Wrong With the Republican Party? That's the title of this thread. What's wrong with Republican Party now is it is not a party any more. The party's leadership organization, the Republican National Committee, has become a de facto subsidiary of the Trump campaign...

The Latest on the Carroll Defamation Case Bond The actual terms of the bond are hard to come by at this early stage. We'll have to wait until documents are filed and then reported by the media to see the bond itself. That said, it now appears the terms of the bond have been agreed to by Trump...

Carroll's attorney responds: "Carroll’s attorney quickly responded that they are closely monitoring Trump’s latest remarks about her — and suggested that a third defamation lawsuit could be in store for the former president."...

Carroll's Attorneys ask Judge to OK Trump's $91.6M Bond "Lawyers for former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll have requested that the judge in her defamation case against Donald Trump approve the $91,630,000 bond secured by the former president, subject to a small change in one of the...

If the bond was posted, we'd see that in the court record, along with the terms of the bond. The bond is not yet posted. In any transaction Trump is involved with, especially one this large, the risk of him haggling and engaging in shady tactics is high. That's how he rolls. Even if the...

Yikes! Did Trump Defame Carroll Again? These are not the actions of a rational man. They seem more like the actions of a man who hates his money and want's Carroll to have it. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-insults-e-jean-carroll-allegations-1877618

Trump can move ahead with his appeal with or without a bond. The bond forestalls enforcement of the judgement until Trump's appeals are exhausted. The bond, backed by the Chubb insurance company is not in doubt, as you say. It exists. It is a real instrument. What is in doubt is whether or not...

Wording Correction Notwithstanding the widespread inaccurate reporting, Trump has not "posted" bond. He has "proposed" a bond deal and it seems the parties will be talking that over in court on Monday. Unless there is a specific reason to keep things under wraps, like in cases where certain...

Things are Different for DeSantis Now “A big difference between this legislative session and the last two is that we didn’t have Gov. DeSantis’ thumbs on the scale as much,” said Rep. Fentrice Driskell, the House Democratic leader. “I think he was trying to recover from his failed presidential...

There has been a development. The bond trump posted is not yet approved. The judge wants to hear from Carroll first. See his ruling here. Like many interested citizens, I suppose, I'm learning about this as we go. I never heard of an appeal bond before Trump's troubles became news. Now we're...

Same here. Like many, I believe Trump is functionally broke. I believe his so-called "empire" is leveraged to the hilt, such that a forced liquidation would cause his house of cards to fall. Now we wait to see if such a collapse will be brought on by the upcoming bond he must post to cover a...

Yep. He did it. Where the money came from to pay the bonding company fees, and how Trump convinced a bonding company to accept him as a credit risk, is anyone's guess. We may learn more later, but I don't think Trump is required to disclose his funding sources in this instance. The EXCELLENT...

Unclear Deadline I've been saying the deadline for Trump to post cash or bond in an appeal of the Carroll judgement is Saturday. That's 30 days after the judgement was entered on the record. Some media outlets are reporting that date. Others are saying Monday is the date. That may be because...

Kaplan; A No-BS Judge From today's ruling:

More Bad News for Trump RE $83.3 Million Judgement Judge Kaplan ruled tonight that he won’t grant even a “temporary administrative stay” because Trump’s “current situation is a result of his own dilatory action.” In response to another motion on which he has not yet ruled, it is possible he...

Interesting News Trump has always said he will appeal the E. Jean Carroll judgement. This is evidence he is following through. The question remains, while he can appeal without posting cash or bond, can he post the cash or bond so judgement-enforcement actions can be forestalled until the...

Trump Charged More Money for Yet Another Frivolous Lawsuit "Donald Trump has been ordered to pay at least $382,000 (£300,000) in costs after losing a UK court case against the former MI6 agent behind the 'Steele dossier.'”...
