my condolences to the rnc operating budget
Add the Carroll verdict and we are North of $440 million in about 3 weeks.
Edit: Also need to calculate statutory interest on top of this. Appeal bond is going to be brutal.
I understand that’s at 9%
Oh, shoot. I thought this was the Carroll verdict (or rather, the appeal to it). Getting hard to keep track lol.

Iowa caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

That’s true but it literally doesn’t matter what you do the Trumpists will cry foul regardless and facts and reason don’t apply to them. I’m just glad the US still has people in positions of power that are willing to go against Trump and actually follow their rule of law. I’m also not American, but as a Canadian I feel dangerously close to what goes on just south of the border and we have our own cadre of ultra right-wingers who are trying to upset Canadian ways in the model of what Trump does. So I’m glad there are judgements against him when warranted even if he’ll never pay up and even if the amount he’s penalized is a pittance to what he should be penalized and even if his followers cry about it.
Trumpism is a cult. Plain and simple. This is cult behavior.
I realize that’s very dismissive, but in this case I think that’s a good thing. You could spend years debunking their every claim, anti-fact, and bad faith argument–and there’s a time and a place for those discussions–but there’s no need to burden your mind with the mountain of their nonsense. You don’t have to read the whole Time Cube page to determine that its author isn’t worth listening to for astrophysical insights.

They know he won’t pay, but banning his business is the awwwww part.
Ps. I don’t hold my breath.
Read it last night. What I think is notable (besides the awesome-in-the-original-sense sum of money) is that Judge Engoron has retracted his previous order to lump-dissolve the Trump businesses. Because the Trump entities are going to be under supervision by not one, but two independent monitors, Engoron has decided to decide those on a case-by-case basis. Given how widespread the fraud in the Trump ecosystem appears to be, I expect this judgment to be the gift that keeps on giving.
In any case, massive props to Engoron for a) taking this important step into the societal dark, and b) keeping a cool head in the face of the defense’s shenanigans.
There was a point I was convinced he would never be charged for anything. It’s not enough, but it’s still much better than the worst case scenario, so I’ll take it.
Trump will never be able to pay it off, but Jared’s Saudi buddies can.
