Trump The Penniless Rapist’s new
repudiation of the constitutional right to life will effectively put his Fed Soc judges on the spot to sort out war among the various states.
It’s inevitable that some grandiose hillbilly Republican state legislature will empower itself to execute doctors who perform abortion in other states.
Modern day “fugitive slave laws” will result in armed bounty hunters from filthy rural backwaters roaming the streets in educated, wealthy, progressive states.
Just because Trump has betrayed them does not mean that Republicans won’t continue with crazy.

Much of “the world” has been against Israel since biblical days, asshole.
Absurd? Absolutely. And really, no different from the way the UN has treated Israel even before it responded to Hamas’ most recent violation of a cease-fire agreement.

There is nothing different about the present than there was previously, other than the betrayal of the only democracy in the Middle East by my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president.
For a libbie who claims to fear the false threats to democracy domestically, you seem to have little fear for the very real threat to Israel’s democracy. Asshole.
I’m gonna sue every Judge who ever ruled against me! It’s quite simple. If you don’t let me do whatever the hell I say is the law then you are unfair and partial and I deserve to be let go.

Which other country is currently openly committing genocide and other war crimes?
Fifty-one United Nations member countries have issued a joint declaration condemning the Chinese government’s crimes against humanity committed against Uyghurs and other Turkic communities, and calling on Beijing to end its systematic human rights abuses in the Xinjiang region.
Which other contry is murdering civilians in an attempt to annex land?
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has again condemned Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, calling for Moscow’s immediate withdrawal and an end to the fighting.
Those poor misunderstood Israelis. If we just let them kill ALL the Arabs and seize the land this will all be over.

…appears to not have $175m in liquidity…
There’s plenty of liquidity. See page 8. $513 million in unassigned surplus.
You’re looking only at cash. You need to look at the Tier 1 assets, which corporations like JP Morgan Chase include when calculating their liquidity. Stocks and bonds are quickly converted into cash and are therefore “liquid”.

You mean the document they submitted without any supporting financial disclosures that the court has already ruled insufficient?

A member of Daughters of the Confederacy was struck by a vehicle shortly after attending a gathering of the group in Putnam County, WV. She was treated at the scene for non-serious injuries.
This happened on April 4th which is also “Putnam County Distracted Driver Awareness day.” Witnesses say the driver appeared to be looking at a cell phone.
There’s a whole lotta wrong place wrong time involved here.
@ 9
You mean the document they submitted without any supporting financial disclosures that the court has already ruled insufficient?
The court has scheduled a hearing for April 22. As yet the court has said nothing about this surety bond. You must mean the NY AG, not the court. They are not the same.
The insurer is regulated plenty. Just not by NY state.
The judge is not about to force Trump to sell his properties because a federally qualified insurer does not do business in New York state. For one thing, it’s an in-kind donation to the Trump campaign for the taking of his property to be forced in an election year. So GLWT.
Remember way back in ’94-’95 when RIAA was suing internet users for $150,000 per song shared on Napster and Limewire and Bearshare.
Weird how utterly unconcerned they are about the rights and royalties of musicians whose entire copyrighted catalogues were fed into the AI creating platforms to teach them to write songs. It’s almost like the RIAA exists solely to maximize profits for corporations and don’t give a fuck if artists get paid.
Granted the RIAA ended up settling most of those suits for $5k or less but ‘stealing music is a crime.’ Stealing every single piece of music ever uploaded to Facebook, Spottify, Amazon Music….eh…no biggie.
The dumbfuck Nazi coward won’t waste his time looking for something he may have posted before this current conflict in which he showed his support for Jews.
That’s because the dumbfuck Nazi coward knows that there is no such post.
Not if they are issued by embargoed companies and individuals.
Not at all.
True. Justice grinds slowly.
But in the few business days since the surety first filed the court has leaned that the lawyers for the appellant have either lied to or misled the court in previous bofilings concerning the appeal bond. They moved for the bond to be lowered on the basis of their claim that fully bonding the judgement was “impossible” and “unavailable” from any source. But the court has since learned that this same surety was perfectly willing to bond the full judgement. So the purpose of the motion was not to preserve the appelant’s right to appeal, but to lower the appelant’s premim expense for the bond.
I’m sure the court is still grappling to understand the enormity of this judgement in its proper context and thus was disposed to show some deference to the appelant in his effort to preserve his right to appeal it. But that was before the appelant lied to the court. They don’t get paid much. They don’t get to watch the Manhattan skyline from 80th floor corner windows. They don’t get their own executive washroom with shower and humidor. About the only thing judges do get is the power to crush and humiliate cocky lawyers when they fuck around.
@15
That and the court, very unlike what dumbfuck said about the AG, rejected the bond filing due to the missing financial disclosure for ‘correction’. That was not the AG but the court. So dumbfuck is either dumbfucking or knowingly lying about the sequence of events.
@1 “It’s inevitable that some grandiose hillbilly Republican state legislature will empower itself to execute doctors who perform abortion in other states.”
If that happens Doctor Dumbfuck will be in danger even though he’s not practicing anymore, because we know innocent people end up on death row as a result of mistaken identity, unreliable witnesses, and police misconduct. He should’ve voted Democrat for his own good.
@4 “The UN General Assembly rebuked Israel on Tuesday in three separate resolutions, concluding the world body’s 2023 legislation with a total of 14 resolutions that single out the Jewish state, and seven on the rest of the world combined.”
Yes, that seems unfair; Russia should get 14, too, because they’re also bombing hospitals, shooting up ambulances, and killing children and infants.
So, are you arguing that
Israel’sBibi’s treatment of Palestinians is justified? That a Palestinian farmer who’s never committed an act of terrorism or violence deserves to have his land stolen and his family displaced just for being a Palestinian?@6 “Which other country is currently openly committing genocide and other war crimes?”

That might give you a clue to who the reply @14 refers to.

While it’s nice to see the dipshit lying idiot admitting that Trump is propped up by embargoed overseas investors, that wasn’t my comment.
Knight has not disclosed how it is funded and capitalized. Nobody knows anything at all about where the money came from to underwrite a giant empire of lending and insurance products. Could be it’s all crypto.
Note that page 8 lists the financial statement of one of the companies owned/controlled by Mr. Hankey, the Knight Insurance Company, which operates as the Knight Insurance Group. Knight Insurance Group operates multiple companies in finance and insurance offering various lines of professional liability insurance, commercial auto insurance, performance bonding, property and casualty insurance, private auto insurance, renters insurance, and general liability insurance.
Page 7 lists the financial statement of Knight Specialty Insurance Company, which is the specialty bonding company within Knight Insurance Group that is offering to bond Trump The Penniliess Rapist’s judgement pending appeal. It’s a much smaller company with absolutely nothing like the assets the lying idiot troll claims.
It’s undercapitalized for the size of this bond. And the court has no ability to assess the liquidity of any of it because Knight and Trump’s strip mall lawyers continue to stall and dodge.
The hearing will be in front of Engororn. It will go badly I’m sure.
25,
Don’t go to page 8. That’s the wrong statement for the wrong company.
Go to page 7. Unaudited statement showing inadequate reserves of the company actually listed in the bond.
26,
That would also be where Trump’s pledge this morning to uphold the rights of individual states to continue the “slaughter of the unborn” came from.
Billionaires like Paulson see “culture wars” the same way the see “racism”, as merely useful ways to dupe the prols into fighting against their own interests. Abortion has been a massively successful distraction that kept millions of American voters willing to abandon every other ideology in order to “save the babies”.
But now they are seeing that Dobbs is destroying them. Dobbs has empowered the crazed hillbilly bible clutching shaman to take over the issue and the party. And it’s costing them majorities the ultra wealthy must have to protect their private space ships and mega yachts. So they paid Trump $50 million to shut the fuck up and abandon the fundie pro-life base.
Trump is off the pro-life train. He’s no longer willing to advance the fight. He’s content to let “the states decide”.
At least until November.
Last month Emerson surveyed Montana on a hypothetical Tester-Sheehy matchup and it was very close with Tester only coming out two points ahead within the margin.
But that was before it was discovered that Sheehy constantly lies about his military record in campaign speeches, in emergency rooms, and in the back of police patrol cars.
@31 “Trump is off the pro-life train.”
What makes you think he isn’t lying about that? He lies about everything else.

33,
My point is that quite obviously for a very long time he has been lying to his base voters about his “support” for getting rid of abortion.
Dobbs was supposed to get pro-life conservatives out of court and into signing laws. But one by one major “Red” states like Ohio have passed voter approved protections putting pro-lifers right back into court again. They demand a national standard to settle questions and place limits and allow them as state lawmakers to defy their own voters.

DJT shareholders not only have to worry about the falling share price, but also dilution:
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/08/trump-media-how-much-truth-social-app-executives-make.html
Now, to be fair, I reckon it unlikely Trump will get those 36 million shares; but if he does, the existing shareholders will be diluted by over 26% by those shares alone, apart from any that management gets. Offsetting buybacks of shares currently worth $1.33 billion by a company with revenue of $4 million a year seem unlikely.
By the way, non-management shareholders rarely — if ever — get stock deals like that. It’s odd, to say the least.

Doubts Creep In About a Fed Rate Cut This Year
Traders started the year predicting up to seven rate cuts. Now, many are betting on one or two—or none.
HA’s biggest loser is Queen YLB, who
• gave birth to two increasingly fucked kids, both of whom are experiencing reignition of Bidenflation, living at home, and have fewer and fewer options of ever moving out.
• put on her best sweater set at the beginning of the year to cheerlead the 7 Fed rate cuts in 2024 that were supposed to enable my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president to sail to re-election.
Because Democrats are desperate to avoid a Republican in the White House next year. So shut up and pay up. Dems have voters to buy.
A Palestinian murderer recently died while imprisoned by Israel.
Some 40+ years ago he kidnapped a 19 year-old Israeli man, gouged out his eyes, cut off his cock and balls, continued to torture him, and eventually shot him to death and dumped his body in a grove of olive trees in the West Bank.
How did Amnesty International mark his passing?

Down ballot Republican challengers are waking up this morning to embrace the new Republican orthodoxy and announcing that they Stand With Trump by standing for nothing when it comes to abortion.
It’s tough. And it’s only going to get tougher. For quite some time now Democrats have had a fairly simple, very clear message they could campaign on that aligned with the views of most voters.
Women have rights.
This is a private matter.
Government should stay the fuck out of it
And for fifty years Republicans and especially their fundie base have had an equally simple, clear message they could campaign on.
Abortion is “murder”.
Now thanks to their Howling Orange Rape-Baboon their message is completely fucked.
“Murder” depends on your zip code.

It’s usefulness to society. Choosing to obtain a degree in a useless field is preference.
Just wondering.
Do any voters like me in say Michigan or Wisconsin or Arizona know the price of gas in Fife?
Probably not but they’re hearing about the Arizona Supreme Court.
Dobbs…the gift to Joe Biden that keeps on giving.
What is the “usefulness to society” of making abortion a crime equivalent to murder depending on the zip code?
Republicans are way too fucking far out on their Darwinian tree limb of moral hazard to begin offering pragmatism and societal benefit as underpinning their arguments for cursory police sport execution and compulsory trans- vaginal ultrasound for ten-year-old rape victims.
And if I’m being honest, angry, shouty freak ponies like Trump can’t carry them across the finish line in November with appeals to communitarianism. As if.

Voters like you still can’t believe that #CrookedHillary lost, my man.
Gas prices nationally are up 21 cents over the last 30 days. Worse in WA but bad enough everywhere else.
Did I mention that the CPI number for March comes out tomorrow mid-day? And that it takes about three months for inflation at the producer end to be felt by the consumer?

I’d call it a change of topic, QoS McHillbilly. Something you found less useful about the one we were discussing?
Queen YLB changes topic in her desperate effort to take the L on the one under discussion, too.
Arizona Supreme Court rules a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/arizona-supreme-court-ruling-abortion-ban-rcna146915
Sounds “pragmatic”
Arizona goes all the way blue.
And I’d call it a complete abandonment and reversal of “conservative” governing political principles since the 1960s.
But not for nothing, there’s very little that would be pragmatic or utilitarian about placing BIG GOVERNMENT bureaucracy in DC in the role of deciding what each and every student in America is allowed to study.
Leftists, your best and brightist:
Notably, this is not Jackson Lee’s first instance of cosmic confusion. As a Texas Monthly report from 1997 explained, the congresswoman once asked scientists whether our rover on Mars managed to photograph the American flag planted there by Neil Armstrong:
It’s just barely noon, and already this morning out lying idiot troll has lost a stupid argument about funding workforce education, a US Senate seat, 11 electoral votes, and a few thousand dollars on DJT.
With first Montana and now Arizona moved into the safe column for Senate Democrats thanks to the usual profound Republican stupidity, it looks like it comes down to Nevada, and Ohio.

Mike Rogers makes a repeat appearance.
Yeah, yeah, I bought a house here but I totally have been living with my sister and not in Florida while the home is being renovated and THAT’s why I haven’t changed my voters registration.
Today is the 100th day of the year. Mike, you’re going to need some proof that you have spent at least 51 nights in that house in Michigan and you’re gonna need it fast.
Curt, You’re an asshole and no one likes you. You stole $75M in Taxpayer funds for a video game company that never existed. You’ve become an absolute trash human on Twitter AND you leaked Tim Wakefiled’s medical condition in the days leading up to his death against the wishes of Tim and his family. So no, we don’t really want you at this 20th Celebration for a variety of reasons.

@50 Yay for higher interest rates! It’s about time savers caught a break. Interest rates were suppressed for 15 years at the expense of senior citizens and retirees forced to subsidize free-spending consumers and corporate borrowers, while not helping student borrowers being gouged at pawn-shop interest rates.
@51 For reasons very similar to why they foot the bill for PPP borrowers and defaulters. Why should taxpayer handouts only go to employers and thieves? Workers, who pay higher tax rates than anybody, get damned little from the government — and you’re complaining they get too much?
@52 “Some 40 years ago he kidnapped a 19 year-old Israeli man, gouged out his eyes, cut off his cock and balls, continued to torture him, and eventually shot him to death and dumped his body in a grove of olive trees in the West Bank.”
Are you sure?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walid_Daqqa
Even the Israelis didn’t think he abducted or murdered the soldier, or deserved life without parole. But mere accusation is always good enough for you. And, of course, you never miss an opportunity to celebrate someone’s death. (Why wasn’t this wasn’t a red flag to whichever authorities gave you a license to practice medicine?)
Now do Israeli settlers who murder innocent Palestinians. How much time in lockup should they get? Currently, they serve none.
@54 “The Lincoln Project exists to absorb money from stupid supporters. That’s all it does.”

@55 Wherein the dumbfuck fantasizes the USA as a collection of states with no central government. The Articles of Confederation were such a roaring success he wants to bring them back.
@56 What identifies that as a Lincoln Project ad? And Youngkin’s election was the result of falsely selling himself as a moderate, which he most certainly is not, and McAuliffe’s fumbles.
@59 I’m all for giving YLB’s kids some relief from burdensome taxes and public debt by collecting the money owed to Uncle Sam by PPP deadbeats and thieves. There’s no reason why crooks who created paper companies with no employees should keep a dime of the taxpayer money they spent on houses for their kids.
@62 “The GOP may learn a very painful lesson.”
Seems to me they already have in 2018, 2020, 2022, and this year’s special elections.
Going out of your way to make yourself unpopular isn’t a strategy.
@67 “dishonesty is what gave you President Donald Trump the first time”
Yeah, but not our dishonesty. It’s not the so-called “liberal media” who paid a $787 million judgment for lying, with more pending liabilities in the pipeline.
Plus, free house!
@68 “Because you need to eat.. So that you can grow up strong and learn new things like 98 plus 3 = 101, not 100.”
Thanks for explaining why we need to subsidize the education of teachers, engineers, and other people who do math.
Good post.
Feed me.
@68 Now would you please explain why farming isn’t a viable business without government subsidies? Are farmers lousy businessmen? Does their product lack a market? C’mon now. They get those freebies because of their politically powerful lobby. Students don’t have a lobby, only us. And Biden.
Subsidizing corn ethanol production is one of the dumber things Congress does. Whatever little sense it made when the U.S. was a net importer of oil disappeared when the U.S. became a net exporter of oil. This continues to be done solely to appease, and line the pockets of, midwestern farmers.
Even food stamps were created to send taxpayer money to farmers. That’s why the program is administered by the Department of Agriculture, not HHS.
@73 Historically, for thousands of years up to the present time, one of the most common ways people have fulfilled their need to eat is by raiding neighboring villages, enslaving growers, or invading countries with agricultural lands.
But not us. Instead of taking food, we give growers money to buy new pickup trucks with, in the professed belief that capitalism and a free market can’t sufficiently incentivize food production.
@75 At least shark repellent is useful for something. Downed aviators over the Java Sea, for example. And Maui surfboarders.
I’m gonna need money for some gas. Can you help me?
Happy Confederate Surrender Day for all who celebrate the defeat of slavery and treason!
@77 Get an EV or a horse if you don’t like it.
Oh, and by the way … my oil stocks are doing great. Thanks for your business. I appreciate it. Really, I do!
@78 The idiot troll wants you to believe universities and colleges only produce graduates with degrees in dance or gender studies, and farmboys are designing and building airplanes, industrial equipment and farm machinery, ships and bridges; designing computer chips and creating software; sending satellites into space; running corporations and banks, and so on.
I’d wager colleges produce far more agricultural and farm management degrees than dance and music degrees. But what the hell is wrong with having a few dance teachers?
https://www.threads.net/@bearbear310/post/C5hH0TOrDbJ/?xmt=AQGzmwx9rgkdsYp1IMP0LAOu_pZn-qJ7xrOmFtAeXT5mMg
@81 Are you arguing we don’t need ERs, medical schools, doctors, or student loans for medical students?
@82 “STEM degree is more valuable than Dance Studies degree = trope.”
It sure looks to me like you’re against student debt relief for all students, including STEM graduates.
@85 “It’s preference.”
I have massive gains in Generac. DJT investors have massive losses.
You’re right, it’s about preferences.
@85 It should not be overlooked that one of the most highly coveted and lucrative degrees of all is a major in Football Studies.
The fact a football degree is usually accompanied by a few academic credits on the side is window-dressing to make them look like actual students. NFL players don’t need history or social studies any more than they need modern dance classes.
@88 I’m not sure a degree in science as taught by Republican-run colleges is all that valuable. The 6,000-year-old earth doesn’t fly well in most research labs.

“That Emmett Till negro should never have flirted with that nice white lady….”

You’re accusing him of being an election denier? Where’s your proof?
@93 “I’d call it a change of topic,” which you never do, amirite? Pot, meet kettle.
@96 I can think of several Republican Yale graduates who sound equally stupid. I’m pretty sure they didn’t get away with that in their undergraduate classes. Either law school did it to them, or being in politics did.
@100 So, as I understand it, he can’t vote for himself.
@101 What it amounts to is the asshole didn’t have the guts to show his face to his former teammates after what he did to their dead teammate and his dead wife.

The thief who stole and sold Ashley Biden’s diary is going to prison.

Even the Trump campaign wasn’t stupid enough to pay a thief for stolen goods. But Project Veritas was. I hope Ashley sues the shit out of both. They wouldn’t want me on the jury.
If one good thing comes out of the Arizona abortion ruling, it’s that it places a millstone around Kari Lake’s neck. She’s backpedaling and rewriting her own history as furiously as she can.

121,
All my farmer friends went to college. Just like nearly any other small business entrepreneur. Agronomy, ag-econ, plant path, accounting, mechanical engineering, etc. Here’s one for you: one of them for sure has a degree in ethnic studies from a pretty swell school.

Four Years Ago Today: Trump Touts Zinc As COVID Remedy
143,

Why wouldn’t it work on respiratory viruses too?
Why are we still listening to Jaime Dimon? The guy who decided it was a great idea to buy out a liquidating Bear Sterns, for a reported loss of $19B. The Guy who has been predicting the Biden Recession and getting quoted by our dumbfuck since March of 2020. His insistence that returning to in office work would drive diversity with zero evidence at all in fact evidence that WFH actually does just that. Dimon saying “(Trump) is kinda right on Nato”, His insistence that the Bush and Trump era corporate tax cuts would ‘pay for themselves’ even though 30 years of attempts to make that economic theory work flat out haven’t. Let’s circle back to the ‘BAD recession ahead” predicted in 2020. And 2021. And again in 2022….
And finally he’s now claiming that Central Banks were dead wrong and he was also fooled by the cautions of economic downturn over the last three years as if he himself was not the major driver of those cautions.
Yeah, fuck that guy.
