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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In the civil fraud case, which is in New York state court, if Trump can’t post the funds or get a bond, then the judgment would take effect immediately and a sheriff could begin seizing Trump’s assets.
Headline is misleading. Article doesn't say what happens if he doesn't pay.
Which is his most favoured strategy.
So I'd really like to know.
The article clearly states:

I really don’t want a president, any president, with that sort of debt that they owe because I don’t trust them to not do unethical things to get rid of the debt.
Being in debt can make it very difficult (if not impossible) to get national security clearance for that very reason.
Unfortunately, the President's clearance is automatic and absolute...
I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis pay his bills. Especially if they think that by helping out he might be able to win the election. In fact, owning the president of the US for only 500m USD seems like it could be worth it to many nefarious characters. The Saudis didn't seem to have a problem doing a billion dollar deal with his son in law.
The RNC is going to pay. Why else did he put a Trump in charge of it? It sucks for all the other Republicans who want RNC money, but they all have their PACs now anyway.
Jones hasn't paid
Rudy hasn't paid
What makes Trump different?
It truly feels like there are zero repercussions for simply ignoring court orders
Which then makes me wonder why any of these guys ever even bothered for showing up to court since they all seemed to know the outcome would be irrelevant in practice.
Who cares? I hope he ends up in prison. Being penniless would just be icing.
I want him to a penniless, too. In a typical state prison, prisoners have to pay for even basic shit like hygiene supplies and snacks. It's barbaric and I want Trump to experience it.
He'd go on the news and talk about how nobody knew that's how prisoners were treated, and that he's the first person in history to understand how bad prison is.
After spending an overnight stay in county jail.
... And that's why I'm proud today to announce a newer, better solution; Trump private prisons. The biggest, best prisons, big beautiful prisons the likes of which, frankly... D'y'know we never had a prison like this before? It's unfathomable! It's really disgusting frankly, the way they claim this and that about the best prisons. That's why we've got to get rid of all this stuff standing in the way of doing what I think we... And we all know who I'm talking about here, don't we folks? It's a gigantic fraud and we've got to do something about it before it's too late, cause they're coming for the private prisons, and they're coming for your freedom, and we're not gonna let them, are we? Beautiful. Beautiful.
I care. I don't want this weasel to con his way into a way to be president again and somehow pardon himself. It seems like for politicians there is always a way.
