    Nothing is going to happen. Some court/judge will step in just before the deadline, says this needs a stay despite the lack of an official appeal request from the defendent. It will need a close examination due to “the historical nature of the case” or some such bullshit. Schedule a review date in October 2024, which will get rescheduled to 2025 because reasons. Then Trump will go spouting everywhere that he beat the courts and “won” his case.

    This guy is part of the protected class, for whatever reason.

    I hope I’m wrong. But I know, deep down in my plums I’m right.

      I’m saving this comment since I’m afraid you’re right, downvotes be damned.

      It’s headed to appeal, it’s not over.

      LOL, that’s not how any of this works. Judges don’t get out of bed in the morning and go looking for cases to fuck with. And this case is over, it is no longer in front of any court.

      Even if you somehow don’t believe that, Trump sure does. Why do you think he lashing out and shitting his pants?

    Shortly before 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, Trump took those grievances public, posting on his social media platform eight times within two hours about the deadline, arguing that he shouldn’t have to put up the money and worrying that he “would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone.”

    “Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” the former president wrote.

    I was really hoping for the Chewbacca Defense to make an appearance towards the end there.

      How does a civil suit by a state, NOT federal, against your company that has been conducting fraud in said state for YEARS, being held accountable [finally] somehow equal election interference?

      Unless you were going to use those properties to either gain some kind of advantage in the election, or to enrich yourself with foreign influence dollars post election. 🤔

        He thinks it’s election interference because anything that makes him look bad is election interference. Any narrative that he doesn’t personally control is unfair.

          Yeah I get his “thinking”, I just don’t see why it gets regurgitated by the media and everyone else without a follow up, “How?”. Or if you are going to post/print his insane rants it should be right next to the charges he is guilty of and WHY it isn’t interference at all.

    I won’t get my hopes up until after the seizure/liquidation order is executed, and he’s got to start selling shit, everything about and around Trump shows the rich in the United States live by different rules when it comes to the courts, and there’s always another delay or stay or appeal, that the normal citizen wouldn’t be granted or have access to, especially Trump since he and the Republican party control over half the sitting judges which decide these things

    It’s a little fun watching him squirm, but only so much, because then there’s the inevitable let down of the stay, or appeal, or case falling apart, or supreme court review, or prosecutor disqualification, or some other fucking infuriating bullshit

    Justice delayed is justice denied
