He has turned to selling bibles to fund his bail

A New York judge placed Donald Trump under a gag order ahead of his criminal hush money case that begins 15 April.

He is barred from making public statements about court staff, jurors, witnesses and lawyers in the district attorney's office - or their families.

The gag order does not apply to the district attorney.

April 15th... 👀 is it actually going to happen this time?
Well, April 15th will certainly happen but will Don Porleone finally face a jury of peers for this particular crime?
Can you imagine turning up for jury service and getting Doofus? 😱

From Washington Post
NEW YORK — Donald Trump will begin his first criminal trial on April 15, a judge ruled Monday, at the end of a contentious hearing in which he repeatedly bludgeoned the former president’s legal team for claims of prosecutorial misconduct that the judge said were unfounded.


New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan rejected Trump’s assertion that the Manhattan district attorney’s office acted improperly with regard to newly available evidence. He also insisted the trial over reimbursement of an alleged hush money payment was back on track after a delay he imposed earlier this month.

^^
Yet even as the judge signaled there was no stopping the case from moving forward on the new schedule, Trump’s lawyers said they aimed to file at least one additional motion, this time over pretrial publicity, that they hoped might push the trial back. The judge sounded very skeptical of such a motion.

^^
The case had been set to go to trial in late March until defense lawyers said prosecutors had wrongfully withheld, until the final days of trial preparation, some 100,000 pages of potential evidence — records from a past federal investigation into Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer and a key prosecution witness.

BTW, came across this today from November last year. I hadn't realised he's been actually bragging that he terminated Roe v Wade.

This isn't a one-off or a misspeak: it's a repeated part of his patter on his own greatness.Envy <-vomit

“Well I did something that nobody thought was possible. I got rid of Roe v. Wade"
[...]
“What I did, by killing Roe v. Wade, which everyone said was impossible…”

just announced - he 'only' needs to put up 100km today and the rest incl interest in 10 days

Ugh. It's always about kicking it down the road for him, staying half a step ahead of consequences.

10 more days to find the money, bond amount reduced to $175mil. Also can run businesses in NY for those 10 days. Sort of a Sword of Damocles, no?

Per Leticia James:

“Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud. The court has already found that he engaged in years of fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization. The $464 million judgment – plus interest – against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands.”

He should expect it, and ,maybe quit whining so much.

He can't stop whining, it's the same as breathing to him.

In which case he risks the Next Donald Trump riding in on a wave of "look at that whiny loser. Don't you hate whiny losers".

Never a good idea to arm your enemy. You'd have thought Americans of all people would know that after Iraq and Afghanistan.

Countdown to the $464 million bond, tick tock

More than that. $468,133,498.11 and counting. But what's four million dollars between friends? (The bond needs to be 110% of the debt, and that's the debt including interest, as of five minutes ago or so.)

So presumably he'll be announcing the winners, then presenting himself with the awards that he "paid for". 🙄 (I bet he won all the games at his birthday parties too.)

"DonPoorleone"

I'd say I spat my tea on my keyboard but it's such a MN cliché. So I'll just say I guffawed heartily and shared with the family.

Einstein's remark on insanity is beginning to seem apropos to their regurgitating arguments already thrown out in other trials. But when you have nothing solid to use, you use what you can find floating 'out there'.

Seems to me that as the current lawfully elected POTUS, Biden could have Trump done away with now, at least based on Trump's assertions.
