Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He just got fined $350+ million and banned from running his own company for 3 years. He just got hit with an $83 million judgement against him for sexually assaulting a woman.
The consequences have begun.
Once he has to actually pay them vs appealing, I’ll believe it.
There’s no appeal here. He has nothing to point to for procedural errors or unconstitutional laws. Plus he has to put up the money before he can do anything.
He can't appeal without bonding the full amount and nobody was willing to bond the 5 million he got hit with last year. Looks a lot like he just has to put up the cash.
I can't see him doing this... he's going move money his money to somewhere he thinks the government can't get it and declare bankruptcy.
He's gonna go full Alex Jones.
He's already had to put up $5.5 mil that he couldn't weasel out of.

Yeah $5M for the publicity of an appeal which he'll likely lose, that he'll pay. When it's hundreds of millions, which he may not even have the full amount? He's gonna Alex Jones that shit.
He has a monitor overseeing him. Too late for any shenanigans.
Right... forgot about that. But I feel like that just limits his shenanigans and hes got a lifetime of experience at shenanigans. I dunno really, but I'm not betting against Trump's crook skills.
Regardless. He cannot appeal without putting up the money or a collateralized bond.
