The grand piano of Fate has been pushed off the roof of Trump Tower, directly over El Gordo, standing in front of the dump. SQUASHO! When that big bug gets smashed it's going to squirt all over!

Has the fundraising blast gone out yet? Wonder if any of his supporters will ever get tired of financing him.

Yup. I've already gotten one, asking a million people to donate. I won't be among them.

Can’t help but believe these civil trials are just the warmup.

Chris, I can't believe you put something this insightful together so quickly! So glad that "I will be here to update you on it all."

Interesting comment from Andrew Weissmann - A Judge has now ruled Trump is not capable of managing his own New York businesses without oversight from two independent monitors - yet, this same man is asking voters to “hire” him to run the country? (Recall many former executives in the Trump Administration have already said he could not serve as President previously without a great deal of supervision).

If highlighted by either Biden or Haley, could this fact be an eye opener for some of the MAGA faithful?

Don’t understand how people can think he should run the country

Probably not Mike. It's a cult thing. But the Independents and Surburbanites are talking notes

Yes, they should definitely campaign on that!

Chris ---

You so NAILED IT.

Trump is about money and he thinks that money = prestige. (Unfortunately, too many other Americans think the same).

That said --- we need to know where can the vermin-hating, and tax and military aversion champion turn?

I understand that his "court of last resort" is the NYS Supreme Court.

The fact that the Trump Mafia is only stripped of doing business for three years is a mockery of looking out for the "little guy."

I will take this as a huge win but think it should have been more money and no longer ever to do business in NY

He has to come up with $580 million as a bond in order to appeal.

Yay, that’s substantial!

Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy! The pace of big news stories this week has been crazy, but I'm guessing it's only going to pick up speed.

Wow. I was waiting for this today and wonder how much ketchup is hitting the walls. Waiting to see how he will spiral even more off the rails.

I am happy to see some accountability and can’t wait for more. We need to keep him out of the White House for the sake of democracy, most importantly. However, it will be good that he can’t pardon himself or squash the criminal trials.

With interest on some proerty deals going back to 2021 - and NY Court interest being 9%/year,

Trump right now owes $480 million according to Lisa Rubin's 'corporate lawyer husband." And for him to appeal means he has to put up 120% of that as bond, so its $570 million or so. And if he's going to appeal E.Jean Carrol, there's another $100+ million bond. He claims he'll fight these on appeal "for years" but , somehow, I think that's just more El Gordo Del Mar A Lardo BS.

Bad news for El Gordo = good news for America.

I hope that Judge Engoron has a great security detail.

Yes, I am very worried about what one of the Cult members might do.

I’m concerned about his safety also....

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Maybe it will give all those construction workers he cheated a bit of a smile.
