Judge Engoron just responded to Donald Trump’s attempt to pause having to pay off more than $350 million, saying, “You have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay.”

The internet is a funny place, where merely thinking out loud can sometimes result in reality - like the idea that Alina Habba is a deep Democrat plant. It's almost like magic.

I wonder when - or if - any of the MAGA geniuses will twig that the "Donald Trump" that has been fined is really a Democrat plant designed to suck money from them and deny the REAL DONALD TRUMP victory when he emerges to denounce the imposter ?

Some fool paid $9000 for a signed pair

Trump would have to be assassinated on camera by Putin at a Taylor Swift concert in the Vatican to make them hold their value.

He was met with loud boos as well as cheers, Associated Press reported, adding that as he spoke, the smell of weed occasionally wafted through the room.

I wonder how his fragile ego coped with being booed?

Presumably aimed at "British seniors" ?

Trump sneakers, that is hillarious.

Snake oil next?

To remind myself I wasn't hallucinating about it. (I think the Guardian is claiming this article btw although it's dated today which is Observer publication day, hence my muddlement.)

It's amusing that by donating $5 to the gofundme, people get a chance to add their own thoughts about Trump. And they are not all as positive as he may have hoped ....

There are some donors, however, who seem to be giving minuscule amounts to make a statement.
For example, one person who gave $5, wrote, “I paid $5 for the privilege of saying that Donald Trump is a conman, a serial sexual abuser and an insurrectionist scumbag. All of you who seriously contribute money to this man are brainwashed cult members. Trump is a danger to democracy and this country.”

$5 seems a bargain to be able to write that on Trump's gofundme page. Lovin' it!

TRIGGER WARNING: photograph of the Young Donald ahoy

Fascinating article in the Guardian (for once) yesterday about Fred Trump, Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. It's by Sidney Blumenthal, a Guardian US columnist, former senior adviser to President Bill & Hillary Clinton and political writer. Looks like no more casino chip buying for Donald to bail him out of his latest messes. (He's going into the gold high-top shoe business instead, according to today's Observer.)

Even the fortune Trump inherited from his father did not stop him from steering the family’s dynasty on to the rocks

This got community noted with:

GoFundMe does not allow campaigns for "the legal defense of alleged financial and violent crimes."

Since President Trump is accused of financial crimes, this campaign is in violation of GoFundMe's terms of service and any funds collected will not reach him.

I guess Putin will have to stump up then.

Along with Trump perfume and cologne...I wonder what it smells of....

Apart from GonFunundMe's terms of service, don't they have to be honest? "Unjust Judgement"?
