Good.

Does he get to declare himself bankrupt at some point and stiff all the people he's hurt? Finding a doctor willing to give a dementia diagnosis might be another possible way out, and I don't think many would be surprised.

Declaring bankruptcy whilst trying to hide existing wealth and future earnings would provide a lot of potential comic relief.

There’s also a lot of coverage today about how drunk/pissed/intoxicated he was whilst advising Trump about the election results and the fact that Trump was advised about his lack of sobriety.

I think the only way he has any future earnings potential is if your man Wagner snuffs it and he manages to get into the ‘tell rival Scottish football fans their team’s pish for £25 a go on Cameo’ market.

Thought he had died in an air crash a couple of days ago, or am I getting mixed up?

Maybe. It’d be a decent enough disguise.

I may be underestimating Rudy and/or the amount of marks per future earnings anyway tho. As of yesterday, Kari Lake’s still going

If he runs out of cash they should lock him up. The article sets out how dangerous these c***s are/were when they were hurling these accusations about. Kudos too for the use of "concomitant". It's been a while.

Trump’s deposition in the NY Tax Case. Sounds like they just let him talk…Eric runs the company, I was busy saving NY from nuclear war, and I can’t believe I’m having to justify myself here after all,I’ve done for this city. Warning, 479 pages:

Interesting analysis following the default judgement against Giuliani in the case brought by Freeman and Moss.  The default judgement was made because Giuliani repeatedly failed to turn over records demanded by the court.

Giuliani has claimed that he no longer has access to the information required however the judge has suggested that he is willing to take the, likely significant, financial hit in the civil case rather than turn over the evidence because such evidence would be damning in the subsequent criminal case.

Better pay a huge amount of money, which of course he will take all steps he can to not pay, than increase the risk of going to jail.

His problem will be that the records in question are, to a great extent, not just his. Others involved via email or other communications may elect to turnover their side of the exact records he seeks to withhold…might get amusing. It’s a nice version of the prisoners dilemma.

African and American politics in sync.

"The plausible explanation is that Bongo  Trump  lost the election but, instead of leaving office with dignity, tried to hang on to power by manipulating the results with the complicity of officials beholden to his family."

The Orange Arsehole suffering yet another legal defeat today.  The second E Jean Carrol defamation case will go to court but not to determine the merits of the claim, which has been ruled by the judge as having been proven, only to determine the amount of damages.

Fani Willis responds to Jim Jordan, destroying his arguments over seven pages, and then offers advice over the next two.

Wonder why Fani Willis didn’t charge Lindsey Graham even tho the grand jury recommended the DA’s office should? Maybe he has a lovely singing voice?

There are several possibilities:

1) She didn’t feel there was enough evidence to convict.

2) She felt their action could mostly or completely fall under some of the protected activities.

3) They are perhaps cooperating with authorities.

4) They may have reached a deal.

5) Adding them now might have significantly lengthened the trial, and they decided to press the stronger cases first.

 

Regardless, this actually devastates the witch hunt allegations, as not pressing charges on half the named parties is clearly not a witch hunt.

A federal judge has rejected Mark Meadows’ attempt to move his Georgia case to federal court claiming that what he was doing was not in his capacity as a federal employee.  This is bad news for the others arguing g the same position - and good news for accountability.

Noted Trump supporter Boebert asked to leave a show in Denver due to vaping, using a cell phone and causing a disturbance/singing loudly. She looks rather tipsy in the video, and her public statements are, for her, very muted, which suggests she’s playing this one down. She filed for divorce in May of this year, and appears to have moved on quickly.
