One line buried in the agreement may be cause for concern for James, according to a new report from The Daily Beast, which described the contact as “bizarre” and “shadier than it looks.”
The contract includes a line that if the judgment is “affirmed” or the “appeal is dismissed,” the defendants in the case “shall pay to Plaintiff…the sum directed to be paid by the Judgment plus interests and costs or any part of it as to which said Judgment is affirmed,” without a guarantee the insurance company would pay.
This essentially means that Trump will be required to pay the judgment if he loses the appeal but leaves questions about whether the insurance would pay if he is unable, essentially leaving James in the same position as before Trump secured the bond, according to the report.
Have his assets been seized? Is he in prison? Is he not the GOP frontrunner and leading Biden in electoral college polling?
In the time between comments, he just had a third attempt to delay his criminal trial: Link
Things may not move as fast as you want, but they’re moving.
That’s also good news, but he’s still not in prison, he’s still the frontrunner to be President again, and he still has his empire.
His ability to manipulate and stall the legal system, the same system that grinds poor people up and turns them into slaves and recidivists, is horrifying.
His criminal trial is proceeding April 15th. He hasn’t been able to delay that.
He has been able to delay it, he just wasn’t successful in his latest attempt to delay the trial. He will try again. The trial is for crimes he committed before he was elected President more than 8 years ago, crimes for which his conspirator, Michael Cohen, has already been convicted and served his full sentence.
It’s good that the trial is about to start, in the same way that it’s good when a serial killer stops stabbing their latest victim.
This is definitely a moment to show some chill my dude.
Fuck chill. Chill is how we end up electing fascists. They will apply constant, unyielding pressure to achieve political dominance, and it requires equal devotion and vigilance to prevent it.
And yelling at people on Lemmy will totally fix it. This has nothing to do with politics, this is all about your emotional disregulation.

I don’t care about your comment. Your attitude is unfortunate.
What a strange reply, but really I should’ve expected this. You’re not above us, buddy, you’re one of us. Have some fun down in the pit.

Might as well reciprocate. I hope you find people who use this platform like you do, so that you may have a good time talking to them instead of us.
