  1. You don't say. This wasn't about the made up numbers, but about the mechanism, and how the value would be determined/calculated. I have not looked up how any of those things are valued. And neither do the Trumpkins. So it would be kinda funny to keep my random numbers in mind to compare them to their made up numbers and see who was closer to market value. And US politics have been silly for the past 8 years+ Just sayin'
  2. We don't know how many liens/mortages are there. I don't think he is underwater (but not free and clear either). With the 5m in the first Carroll case, didn't he end up posting the entire sum himself in cash, instead f going through a bond company? At least that's how I recall the chain of events there. He then claimed he did, because of the interest rate of the bond company. Which didn't make sense. So more likely explanation was, that he didn't want them to have a look into his finances. Which might look terrible, or it was a strategic decission to hide it as much as possible with the NYAG trial pending. So I am sorta neutral on that one. My understanding is, if stuff gets auctioned off. Valuation being the sales price (minus liens, taxes etc.) Let's say Trump Tower goes for 300m (no idea, I am just naming a random number). Hypothetically there's lien on it which in combination with taxes etc. makes up 250m. 300m - 250m = 50m 450m - 50m = 400m. Next stop 40 Wall Street. That goes for 500m let's say liens taxes etc, is 300m. 500m -300m = 200m 400m - 200m = 200m Next stop his NYC appartment (aka the triplex). Next stop seven springs Trump Tower Chicago, the Golf club/family cemetary in NJ. NAR-A-Lago will presumably go last, as that is his private residence, where he lives. Fun note, if I am not mistaken Donk jr.'s (and/or Eric's) homes are also company properties (for tax reasons). So a black woman evicting members of the Trump family would be one of those actually funny little ironies. Let's go Tish!
  3. Depends on your definition of rich. If we take accounting and estimations at face value, then he could take that hit. It would hurt. But his assets are supposedly above the 1 billion threshold (to call him a billionaire)*. Which is more than 500m. Would he still be a billionaire afterwards? that is a better question. In addition, this nonsense anti-social is about to go public, so there he might get a very big cash infusion down the line (his shares are estimated to be worth another 2-3 bn, which he can't sell/access now for legal reasons. That's finance law/SEC stuff, so something zabz could probably say a thing or two in general terms, which is far better founded than what I could recall having read/heard. And I am not sure how to evaluate/factor in those JaVanka middle East business deals. Fair assumption they wouldn't exist without her daddy's Presidency. As that's pretty blatant pay-to-play get into the ear of the GOP nominee. But would she actually bail out diaper Don? *I've seen his assets (real estate mainly) to be worth in the region $ 1.5bn+. If that gets seized and acutioned off piece by piece, bits by bits. It might get sold at a knock off price/Trump name discount. Even if that market (bidders) will take a 30% discount rate, that would still be $ 1bn+. But for the sake of the argument, let's say 1bn. 1bn - 500m = 500m. By my standard, I'd still call that filthy rich.
  4. Nah, I still maintain, that we are at the critical juncture of British history with spocky's imminent rise to power as the most bloodthirsty autocrat in history. He gets dark money from EU funds, and enters high society by means of Kate. Basically this is an alternative history, in which one of the Krays married into the Royal family. Which is a great concept btw. As for the security apparatus. He skipped the minion levels, and went straight to mid-management. Isn't that right future Home Secretary BFC? I'm not sure how anybody else will fit in, since this is history in progress with a lot of moving parts.
  5. My understanding is, that the Supremes have zero standing and no dog in this fight. They can't jump in. Could they invent something, yeah. But that's a very remote possibility. E. Jean Carroll will get her money. Trump posted a bond underwritten by an insurance company. So the insurance company is on the hook for Carroll, and they will have to go asset seizing after one round of a losing appeal (I am so proud of that title). The 450m is something NYS/James wants. When it comes to chasing assets, I'd put my money on NY. This is not a private claimant, who might run out of breath/energy/money tracking the money. On top of that, there's still the issue of Barbara Jones being appointed monitor over his business (this time with actual teeth) by Engoron. His companies are NY registered - despite his last ditch efforts to move it to, sigh, Florida. NY OAG and Engoron didn't fall for that.
  6. And again. Kate is very clearly in Spain with spocky. We clearly established that much. I assume she is still alive at this point... Spocky?!
  7. In Bundesliga news. Christian Streich will step down as headcoach at Freiburg at the end of the season. He has held this position for over 12 years. Before that he worked as a coach in their academy/youth department. He first joined the club in 1995, so he's spent the last 29 years at Freiburg in some form. Now that's longevity. Only two coaches in Bundesliga history will have been in charge of a club for more games than him at one club. Schaaf and Rehagel (both for Bremen).
  8. The problem there is the FDP. They are basically playing opposition in goverment. Their stance on Ukraine is pretty much their only saving grace.
  9. Yep, that was apparently reason, Klopp said as much (with the instruction to Salah, that he wouldn't need to trackback/defend for the rest of the Prague game). Plan was by all accounts to sub Salah off, when Clark suddenly sat down in front of him.
  10. Without a doubt. But then he would need to project his non-existent authority within his party to get sceptics like Wiefelspütz (I'd like to hear our English speakers trying to pronounce his name likesay three times in a row), instead of pretending to have authority within his goverment. If he truely wanted to deliver Taurus without losing too much within his party he could allow a free vote on it. But like I said before, he has now committed himself to that idiot position. With the Leopard drama, he could hide behind the US/Biden delivering tanks and spin his reversal as him forcing Biden to deliver tanks in exchange for the German Leos. So that the hesistant chickenshit drama was infact him playing a blinder on the diplomatic stage. Strong and stable leadership etc. (yes, that's how it was spun domestically). This is not gonna work this time. I want to reiterate, I voted for the lady with the poor campaign performance in that election (well not her personally (different district), but for her party).
  11. See, that's why you shouldn't mess with a horse. :') And I accept your concession, gracefully. Anyway like I said, thread title is play on Drumpf's legal issues and losing of appeal to the electorate. Anyway, back to today's English instead of that pseudo-middle English, before theda or anybody else who studied English will point out how I butchered the grammar.
  12. Eald thread past page 20. That was the thread title I had yn mynd bifore. And yes, it's a playyng on the orange doofus legal yssues and eek on the losyng of appeal to the electorate.
  13. Musiala is a proper baller btw. In more important news. One step closer to Bundesliga promotion.
  14. New round in the Taurus saga. There was a meeting of the Defense comittee of the Bundestag (parliament), which are secret as a matter of principle. The topic under discussion was Taurus and whether it could potentially be delivered to Ukraine, so they had Breuer (Inspector General of the Armed Forces) there. He was basically saying, if Germany delivered Taurus to Ukraine, they also need to deliver the technical equipment for analyzing and storing targeting data. And there's only a fairly limited number of those. So if Ukraine gets those, it impacts Germany defense capabalities (I admit I had to chuckle at German defense capabalities). Did I mention that those defense committee meetings are secret? So the next scandal is now, that somebody leaked information of a secret meeting to the press. I am not saying the SPD leaked it, but it most definitely supports Scholz position to not deliver Taurus to Ukraine. There's also some pushback from people on the committee (without going into details for obvious reasons), basically saying that the leaked version is not entirely accurate (again no details/corrected versions to be had as those meetings are (supposed to be) secret). Strack-Zimmermann, who is the chairperson is also not too impressed with the leak.
  15. A few things here. 1. It would be Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften. Nouns start with a capital letter in German. 2. It would only be Versicherungsgesellschaften, or short Versicherungen. Rechtsschutzversicherung is something a lot of people don't really need. If you don't go to court, you don't have that many legal bills. As a Doctor, or a therapist you might want to buy one for job related reasons (malpractice in plain speak), as a landlord you might want one, too. Now I have the urge to slap you around with a Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmütze.
  16. You can't spell Florida without O. No joke. You can't. That would be Flrida. See, you need an O there.
  17. So you want Spocky to raise a working class BoJo. I must say, I have some reservations about this plan of yours, but YOLO. Ah spocky, how is Catherine enjoying Spain?
  18. I am not saying that City will bang them harder than you... But Guardiola teams can do really terrible things to weaker teams.
  19. Amateurs. They should have been redirected to a website playing a video loop of Trump reading bible verses, regardless of age.
  20. In better news. We didn't lose Fani. Just a lot of lost time gone down the drain (annoyingly).
  21. My theory is Catherine ran off to Spain with Spocky. From Prince of Wales to the Weed King of England. His claims about using tinder in Spain (yeah right) was just a ruse. Spocky ofc has to deny it to keep the Spooks of his trail. I know you are all eagerly waiting for the Mail reports on how the next generation of English royal have turned into a bunch of stoners in Spain. Spocky's way of bringing an end to the Royal Family is way less bloody then Copper manufacturing evidence in murder trial only to be undone by cover ups and him going slowly insane in the process, but (almost) equally entertaining. But spocky, between us. Don't you think the Queensize bed was a bit too much on the nose?
  22. Learnt this after school. Helped my best friend and his (now ex-)wife moving places, and her brother (had) studied math (or was it computer science? Can't remember, nevermind). Not sure how smalltalk arrived at point, but I was also more in the camp of isn't 1 a prime number? He said, could be viewed as such, but isn't for practical reasons. On second thought, I think we arrived there by a discussion over cryptography for which prime numbers are not that unimportant.
  23. Not just phoned it in, they still have problems with the unbalanced squad Salihamidzic left behind. CL is the last remaining title Bayern could win on their own. For the league they would need a Leverkusen implosion. Their players also still want to play the Euros at home. Nagelsmann has announced his squad for the final games before the Euros. He called up six rookies + Leverkusen's Andrich and Stuttgart's Führich (who have one cap). Bayern omissions. Sane (who is suspended after getting sent off during their loss against Austria), Gnabry (just back after an injury lay off) and Goretzka. Goretzka was dropped purely because he has been playing poorly this season. So Nagelsmann has sorta put his old players on notice. He also cut Dortmund's number of players down to one call up (Füllkrug). Uncapped players he called up include Bayern's youngster Pavlovic (the DM Tuchel promoted), Heidenheim's Beste, Stuttgart's Mittelstädt, Anton and Undav (on loan from Brighton), and Hoffenheim's Beier. It looks like Nagelsmann sent a warning with this selection, that he has enlarged his scope and that he is prepared to drop out of form players (even if that means calling up players with limited to no experience).
