Trump is a narcissist. Exactly so. And narcissism with onsetting dementia is not a foundation for any successful defense or mitigation of outcome. I spend enough hours with mildly or severely demented patients, some distressed, some contented, that I don't wish it on anybody. But Trump deserves and...

Trump really isn't that stupid — at least he wasn't back before he was so orangely obnoxious. Anybody, everybody, makes occasional slips or has "duhhh!" moments. But this chronic pattern is surely dementia rotting his brainlet, perhaps exacerbated by stress about his court cases and his no...

It has people who are really dogmatic and attack you if you bring up a fact that threatens their world view. If Atheism is not a religion it's doing a very good job of prete...

INDICTED (INDICATED) #3 USA v Donald Trump - Judge Tanya Chutkan - #J6 Election Interference, Fake Electors - Jack Smith

I like the opening sentence of the introduction: From 1789 to 2023, no former, or current, President faced criminal charges for his official acts— for good reason. Yes, "for good reason"—because they were not career criminals! The Orange Shitgibbon's argument seems to be "how could an...

State of New York vs Trump, et al - the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization

Thanks for the clarification/reminder that the bond is for stay of execution, not for permission to appeal. So that negates any complaint that "unfair! we can't appeal!" which would seem unjust. We read in the affidavits that sureties rarely offer bonds over $100M. But I don't recall readi...

I agree. I don’t mean to be insensitive, but the plural/singular thing really bothers me. IOW do you say “they is” when talking about one person?

State of New York vs Trump, et al - the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization

The affidavits (thx chancery :thumbsup: I hope you enjoy all 4919 pages of that document!) indicate sureties (the companies that might issue bonds) only accept cash, cash equivalents, or marketable financial assets as collateral security for the bond. In particular, that means they don't accept real...
