President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Putin has turned the Twitter bots up to 11 this morning to go after Cavuto for cutting off and fact checking Cheeto Jesus.
I know they are bots because the population of the Earth is 7.9 billion, and they're aren't enough people to post all that stupidity.

 

O.J. didn't have much in liquid assets after paying for his defense in the criminal trial and he moved to Florida before the civil trial. Florida has some very friendly laws that shielded his home there from being forceably sold to satisfy the judgment.

He also lives largely off his NFL pension and federal law prevents the attachment or garnishment of a pension. He's also done other things, like trying to assign the rights to his book to his children, to try to avoid the judgment, but the Goldmans have been diligent and largely successful at piercing those shields and gaining control over them.

There are two big differences here: First, New York requires Trump to post the judgment (or a bond) if he wants to appeal. I don't believe Simpson ever appealed. Second, even though Trump lives in Florida, he has significant assets in New York that can be attached to enforce the judgment, the largetof which is The Trump Organization, which is the owner of his real estate in New York, Florida and elsewhere. So he won't get the benefit of Florida's homestead protections on Mar-a-Lago the way that Simpson did in order to avoid the judgment. And The Trump Organization now has a court-appointed special master who will have to approve any transfers, which will prevent some of the Simpson-style shadiness (and Alex Jones-style shadiness) of hiding assets to avoid the judgment.

Trump is in a vice on this. He could win on appeal. I think the odds are low, but it is possible. But he has to post the judgment in order to appeal, most of his wealth is not liquid, and he is running out of time to do it.

 

In a vise, not a vice, though I appreciate the sentiment.

 

I’ve been amazed at how little caterwauling I’ve seen from the Right about this. I guess Trump grifting is OK, but LaPierre doing it was a bridge too far.

 

Homelander shoes.

 

So three people beat the living daylights out of this kid in a bathroom and they died shortly thereafter and the beating had nothing to do with it?

Oklahoma police say nonbinary teen's death was not result of injuries from high school fight

 

I've always struggled with homonyms.

 

I worry this is going to be a suicide.

 

Is this something they have to do after the Dominion suit?

 

Probably on the line between “have to do” and “prudent thing to do.”

 

Civil War II. Indefensible. Also not gonna happen. SCOTUS will opine on this in Trump’s favor.
