Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Can you explain what you mean by the 2nd paragraph? Could that put him in legal trouble for the motion his lawyers filed to the court that claimed it was "impossible" for him to secure enough cash to cover bond?
If he’s saying he has it and he actually has it: he shot himself in the foot, because now the courts will put his finances under a microscope to find it. And they’ll probably find it.
If he’s saying he has it and he doesn’t actually have it: he still shot himself in the foot, because the courts are still gonna put his finances under a microscope, except it will last way longer because they’ll find out he’s actually broke, and also perhaps misrepresented his assets and income outside of the context of the NY civil case, which might yield some new charges involving criminal tax evasion, depending on what they find.
So he's essentially inviting the state of New York to perform a super mega audit of his finances. Got it.
More or less, yeah. And, depending on what they find, they might tell the IRS that they should have a look, too.
The way I'm reading it (and I could absolutely be wrong here) but it sounds like he might be saying he has the money now thru hard work and tan lotion or whatever the hell. Not that he always had it. That would still cause problems but not nearly as much as if he is saying he always had it. Cause then he basically lied in court under oath which is obviously a no no.
But if he's saying he like hit the ground and made some shrewd genius business moves to raise the money quickly or something I don't think that would cause a ton of problems. And I could easily see some moron rich people getting together and just giving him the money or something
It’s that, or he’s getting ready to have the RNC bankroll his financial losses. Which I’m sure will trigger tons of lawsuits from people who are very not ok with that.
This is all just a smokescreen. The objective is to create chaos and confusion. Delays here help trump.
