  1. > The former president used a brokerage account as collateral for that bond.

    Would that be the one with the TruthSocial stock in it? What happens when the value drops below $200 million?

  2. > Trump secured the bond through Knight Specialty Insurance Company.

    I wonder if he gave shares of his new company as collateral.

  3. I’m so tired of the special treatment of this snowflake.

  4. He finally found the dumbest insurance company to bail him out. They’re going to lose that money and Trump never pays his bills. He just keeps finding more schmucks willing to give or “loan” him money.

  6. > If their appeal fails, the former president and his co-defendants will be on the hook for the entire $464 million judgment.

    Trump has a history of losing. This needs to happen.

  7. How this guy keeps getting 11th hour lifelines, I don’t know.

  8. Keep this man out of the White House. Join our efforts at /r/VoteDEM!

  12. So realistically, when will the appeal actually start and how long will it take?

  14. Is it sad that this guy has so much going on with him that I completely forgot that it was due this week? Literally forgot all about it.

  15. As someone who was raised to hold doors for others, say please and thank you, treat others how I would like to be treated, and all the other appropriate social interactions….I am at a loss for words. How can we teach our children to respect these values when our potential leaders do not. I hold in hope that “karma” finds those who respect societal rules and takes those who don’t. We can’t change others, but can instill the change we hope the world can be. Be better. Love more. Understand difference and except other for who they are. Vote better. A vote for a Trump means that these ideals will be lost. So sad! I would love my kids to understand that personal substance is more important that being a billionaire. Money comes and goes, but being a good person is forever. Bless all!

  16. Ugh. So sick of this BOIL on America. Seriously. Want to see it drained and go away already!

  17. The only great equalizer in this guy’s saga is TIME. It spares no one

  18. I don’t know why I keep getting my hopes up. He is coated in Teflon.

  19. Knight’s vp of risk looks like he just graduated

  20. Seems like there were some back office conversations between lawyers letting the court know just how much he could secure a bond for and who would be securing it _before_ the decision was handed down last week. This was all wrapped up too nicely in a short time; he was too pleased with the accomodation and came up with the bond without issue.

    Just another example of the courts letting us down.

  23. Let’s just vote him into a distant memory and then he can fail fabulously.

  24. He got the money from a guy named Mr. Hankey? What a piece of shit.

  25. Was there ever any fucking doubt? Someone always bails him out, gives him a break or lets him off the hook. Really want to Make America Great Again? Start with the damn judicial system and hold scum bags like him accountable.

  26. Who cares. Let’s just make sure he loses in nov. fucking vote everyone

  27. He will never suffer any significant punishment.

    Ever.

    The past 4 years has shown us that.

    The only way to make America great again is if he gets a pickle stuck in his throat and chokes.

  28. People need to be less optimistic about “powerful” people facing consequences.

  29. To everyone asking how he keeps getting second chances, that’s the power institutional racists have in this country. It’s stronger than ever.
