US Politics: Losing Appeals

English doesn't work like German. You can't just smash words together. But back to the topic, it was interesting hearing a brief breakdown of more Trump properties. As I assumed, he doesn't own 100% of much a number of his main assets. For example he only owns the public facing parts of Trump Tower and then his residence and a few other condos. If that's accurate then it's not worth nearly enough to cover the costs. They also said that because a lot of his properties have people paying dues/memberships he can't just sell them off without a nightmare amount of paperwork. Their speculation was that because of this and that he couldn't secure a third party bond is why he has little chance of paying the cost to appeal. -

The reporting I was just listening to suggested her office can start seizing assets at the end of the month and there's not much recourse for Trump. The fun part is the government gets to make the evaluations of the value of said properties and leans and loans will probably be held against them. There's also rules about how Trump can raise the money. My understanding is some rich foreign party can't just come in and cover the bill. And as I've mentioned before, he likely doesn't and large percentage of the assets he claims to, so he can't just sell them quickly. It wouldn't surprise me if all he really owns is the Trump towers in NY and Chicago, M-A-L and a few golf courses, the latter which are terrible investments. -
A). Go fuck yourself. B). At least we didn't do that last year. I can't ever remember the guy's name (Looks it up, Hooker), but the Vikes were linked with a QB in the first round everyone though he was likely a round three guy and lifelong backup (Went in the third). There's nothing wrong with taking a flyer on a QB in the middle of the draft, just don't do it in the middle of the first. It almost always fails. C). I hope you're saving up to send your kid to UW. D). Go fuck yourself again. That one is from Jace.

Look, fair is fair. Recreate one of the last scenes from Point Break. Pense jumps out of the plane with the parachute. Trump then has to jump out without one a track him down. Whatever happens is justice. -

Idk about that. The long legal battle isn't going to happen though unless Trump gets an appeal which is iffy. There really isn't much to convince a higher court so it would have to be purely partisan. The ruling and outcome are sound. -

I guess the most basic difference is the government has a greater ability to seize assets than a bank does. And the latter is what you cited. When you owe the bank a little, they own you, when you owe them a lot, you own the bank. It's not exactly the same with the government and they can just straight up take things in a way banks can't to pay off your debts. This will likely happen sooner than not if Trump doesn't starting selling properties (which he will probably get pennies on the dollar for) in part because it takes a long time to negotiate a good deal and who knows what percentage of the stuff he really owns. That he wasn't already able to move stuff around to pay for the bond is telling. -

Works differently when you're just in debt verse having a court ruling against you. -
It's pretty interesting looking at the standings. Did not expect the Thunder to be that high or the Spurs to be dead last in the West. And the East is flat out fascinating.

Fuck, did she try to steal Maggie and things went sideways? Maybe while also telling him she's in love with Starmer? Ed in Shaun of the Dead could still play video games, so maybe? -

So what's the better bet, Kate was bitten by a zombie or a vampire and that's why they're hiding her? -
