I was listening to The Rachel Maddow Show and she interviewed a guest about Trump’s inability to find a surety willing to pay his upcoming bond nearly half billion dollar bond in his New York civil fraud case. As a quick aside, does anyone believe he’s not going to stiff the Federal Insurance Company and Chubby Insurance Company for his $91 million dollar debt to E. Jean Carroll? I guess PT Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute. Man, in the words of Bugs Bunny, What a bunch of maroons!
Apparently, the incredibly growing fraud penalty — interest ratchets that baby up pretty quickly, amirite? — was something that Chubby could neither achieve nor sustain with unlike their willingness to hold Trump’s $91 million dollar limp dick.
Anywho, Susanne Craig, NY Times Pulitzer Prize investigative reporter was her guest, and she suggested that Trump had other options than some company willing to back a bond for the judgment against him in New York. He could rely on, say Iwanka and Jar-Jar Binks to use part of their $2 billion dollar pay off from the Saudis to do it.
After I quit literally rolling on the ground and laughing my fucking ass off, Maddow suggested that something other than his ass might be for sale, like national security secrets since he’s getting briefed on our national security secrets again. I guess that means, Saudi, Putin, Iran, or some other rich person who wants the secrets — weren’t there missing papers from the horde of secret documents he stole from the government? — he still has might could pay the bond and essentially own his fat flabby hairless lily-white ass.
My question to y’all is, what do you think, which is more likely Iwanka and Jar-Jar part with a quarter of their greasy sleazy Saudi dollars or Putin or some Putin-esque person puts up the money? Comment on that, y’all!


I have no idea, and it nauseates me to conjecture (not counting that I read earlier today that some merger with his social medium co. and one of his shell corps could net him 500 bill, so there’s that) from whom or how he’ll come up with the money. That being said, I am still marveling that none of the bonding companies suggested that he acquire sureties he can afford with each/all of them, adding up to the amount he needs to post. It’s a very sensible thing to do, sort of like when I was young, and split up a purchase between my cash on hand and some money I had in my checking. I mean, I know rich people don’t do such things or even think about them, but we rarely hear of rich people being in the amount of trouble tfg is in.
What will be, will be.

My apologies for my late reply. It was a busier than anticipated weekend.
I’ve heard several people advance the several company bonding thing as a potential solution. I’d be surprised if it didn’t occur to the companies and to Trump and his people. The problem is that if you don’t have 454 million to pay one lump sum, you probably don’t have the assets to satisfy each company for a portion of it, either. At any rate, the courts have proven themselves feckless again and are allowing him to delay by ten days and being able to post 174 million. One wonders if he has that much even.
Trump has the feculent touch. Even if something he’s involved with now flourishes, like this merger that only took them three or four years to do, it will all turn to shit soon enough and many people will have lost lots of money. Trump, however, will have benefited. He will find a way to grab as much of that money as he can just like his “deal” with the RNC.
PT Barnum was right, there’s one born every minute. Fleece ’em while they’ve still got money to be fleeced, amirite?
Huzzah!

Ah, yes. Every morning when I read the paper I find myself looking to make sure I didn’t end up on the wrong website and slid over to The Onion or The Weekly World News (one of today’s headlines over in WWN is 11 signs to tell if you’re descended from aliens) accidentally.
So far he hasn’t managed to find anyone stupid enough to cover his ass for the half billion in fines he’s racked up. I suspect his habit of turning on his friends and throwing then to the wolves may have something to do with that.

Well, that’s something I’ve always secretly wondered, am I a descendent of aliens. My inquiring mind wants to know. You can tell it is spoof, though, because it is 11, you know, like in Spinal Tap.
You know Trump is going to try to leave Chubb Insurance holding the bag for his $91 million tab to E. Jean Carroll. You just know it. And, there’s no immunity defense in the civil suit when they inevitably have to sue him to try and recover the money. Why anyone would be so foolish as to hand him money in any form or way, I’ll never figure out. Anyone with any connection to Chubb should be getting out now while there is still something salvageable in the situation.
Huzzah!

oh he’ll be selling secrets again…now if the Secret Service were intelligent, they’d feed him nothing but false information in a sting…but we’re talking men in black maroons here.

Wouldn’t that be fun, if they set up a sting with a false briefing. One of the most concerning things coming out of Trump’s tenure was how corruptible the Secret Service was.

Corruption runs down deep in the, Republican Party, and the voters who support the party are, too, blind to see the truth about just how corrupt it is, and, they will, continue to, follow their leader, down that, cliff. Nothing can wake them up, unfortunately…and, seeing how Trump knows how to, incite anger in the masses, chances are, he’s going to get, elected again, and God won’t be able to help America…

I don’t think Trump is going to win, in part because corruption so clearly does run so deep in the Republican Party. MAGA makes up only about a 20% of the total American population, and about a third of the electorate. Trump is not expanding the number of people willing to vote for him despite what polls say.
Huzzah!

I suspect that some smart, even if thoroughly corrupt, people are not believing the polls that have Trump with good odds of winning the election and being able to make all his charges and penalties go away, and who can read his numerous indictments and figure he is going to be spending the rest of his life in court if not in jail, and broke. As Ivanka and Jared, they are focused on keeping their winnings out of the fall of the family grift machine, and perfectly willing to let the old man go under the bus. Putin and the others have to calculate whether Donald still has any secrets to sell that are worth half a billion dollars that they won’t get back when his appeals fail and the bill has to be paid, and he does not become President again.
From all those points of view, there’s a word for the conclusion: LOOSER
