I think interest continues until fully paid. It’s why they ask for 120% or something down.
I think he will eventually put up a bond. There are enough actual super rich scumbags like Phil Ruffin or the Adelsons or whoever, one of them will put up the money. It’s a near lock he doesn’t have $500 million in cash.
Aren’t most of the super rich scumbags also the type that hate the instability of Trump, and desperately wish he’d go away so they can get the establishment types back in charge of the GOP, though?
I feel like the true believers that would actually want to help him are the Mike Lindell types that don’t actually have two nickels to rub together.
No. We all thought that would be the case and but turns out the rich guys will put up with anything to pay less tax. There are also just genuine fucking freaks like this guy:

Why would it stop?
If he wins there are no payments. If he loses appeal. He still hasn’t paid.
That’s what I was trying to understand, some articles kinda made it sound like you have to completely pay up to start the appeal so then I figured Trump would get a “refund” if he won appeal and would be no reason to keep being charged interest while that was litigated as he already paid. But that seems not to be the case and court is just holding onto to the cash for him
lol, SCOTUS is taking up Trump’s immunity question with arguments set for April 22. This DC case has zero chance of getting wrapped up by the election, it is cooked
And it was the only one with a good judge.
A liberal commie judge (appointed by lefty George H.W. Bush) breaks it down:

Lol law. RIP to all those dipshits who assured us the courts would move at warp speed to handle this.

So, there were at least four votes to hear the case. So Trump probably has at least four votes, and maybe has the five he needs.
If SCOTUS rules that presidents are immune to prosecution for anything they do as president, I think my wife and I have to leave the country if he takes power. I would assume recent immigrants end up in camps, whether they came here legally or not, green card or not, citizenship or not.
I’d guess he has tops 3 votes for his actual argument, and more likely 2. The other ones just want to run the clock for him as much as they can and then come out looking “reasonable” when they inevitably rule against him. And the media will fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
Does it effectively matter? He can’t be charged while president, anyway. So if he wins, what stops him from doing whatever the fuck he wants?
Yeah it doesn’t matter. The only case going to trial maybe is the NY case in March, which is the weakest of all of them. I think he probably gets convicted in the NY case nevertheless because he’s facing a Manhattan jury, but that won’t move the needle one bit. He was found liable for sexually assaulting someone in a trial and nobody cared, none of his supporters are going to care if he’s convicted of a felony for paying off a porn star.
Oh I’m extremely aware that it doesn’t matter and it’s over. I’m just saying they aren’t actually going to come out and make a ruling that presidents have absolute immunity.

So at this point, for sure, he’s either dictator for life or in jail (or house arrest) for life. Right?
Not seeing how he ends up in jail at this point. He’ll just kill the federal cases when he’s elected, the GA case is going to get killed when it gets reassigned, and the NY case isn’t going to do jack to him.
Only if he loses.
I mean, if Trump wins Biden could legally have him assasinated. Even these idiots know how absurd the claim is, they’re just running clock.
I mean, we’re drawing pretty thin to every single poll being systemically wrong including both the head to head polls, the swing state polls, and the issue polls (which show that immigration is like the top issue along with the economy and that abortion is something everybody forgot about), but sure I guess there’s always a chance.
