ha ha ha ha Donald Trump can’t pay for his appeal and the judge told him tough shit

and SCOTUS reminds us who they are

Little Donny Fuckface is good at exactly one thing: bullshitting.

it’s his whole business model: conning the rubes into believing he’s the savviest honcho who ever lived. it’s how he got banks to lend him money — by tricking them into believing his shitty properties were worth billions.

it’s how he got investors to finance his failing casinos — by filling their heads with nonsense about how he was going to make them rich.

and it’s how he became president — by conning low-information voters into believing he was going to personally buy each of them a pony.

which is why it’s super fucking hilarious that yesterday, the bullshitting bullshitter who claimed in 2015 to be worth TEN BILLION DOLLARS had to admit to a judge that he can’t come up with the money he needs to appeal the Big Trump Family Business Fraud Fuckery judgment.

In asking for the stay earlier on Wednesday, Trump’s lawyers said he is unable to post a bond for the full amount of the judgment while he appeals and wants instead to secure a $100 million bond. A bonding company would be on the hook for any payout if Trump loses his appeal and proves unable to pay.

“please let me off the hook, judge” he whined, offering to pay less than 25 cents on the dollar — a classic slumlord move — but Associate Justice Anil Singh was all no, fuck straight off with that nonsense.

Former President Donald Trump must come up with the full amount to cover the $454 million verdict in the civil fraud trial, an appeals court judge ruled Wednesday.

and so the clock continues to tick, and Donny — who apparently can’t get Bone Saw Arabia to return his calls these days — is going to have to make some very unpleasant decisions about how he’s going to come up with — wait, let’s check the Trump Debt Tracker for the exact amount —

as of 9:15 this morning, Donny owes $465,256,089.66 to New York State.

boo fucking hoo.

if Broke-Ass Donny can’t come up with that ever-increasing amount by March 25th, it’ll be time to call the repo men.

here’s an idea: how about a TV show where Letitia James and E. Jean Carroll spin a big wheel to see who gets which Trump properties. they could call it Wheel of Consequences. I’d watch the shit out of that. so would you.

now comes the part where we throw our heads back in laughter.

but then, later in the day, the Supreme Fucking Court reminded us who owns them.

Donald Trump, of course, believes that laws are bullshit and I shouldn’t have to obey them and — up until yesterday — every judge and court in the land has been are you fucking insane?

but not the Supreme Court. oh no, those corrupt bought-and-paid-for Federalist Society hacks were all hey, we really should look into this laws are bullshit thing.

The Supreme Court will review Donald Trump’s unprecedented claim that he is shielded from prosecution for actions taken while in office, further delaying the former president’s federal trial in the nation’s capital on charges of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss to remain in power.

this decision to take up the case comes after weeks of dithering — and they’re not expediting the case at all. oral arguments are April 22 — almost two months from now — and there’s no guarantee that a ruling will come soon enough to get the Big DC Insurrection Fuckery Trial started before the election.

that trial remains on hold indefinitely, and the Big Stolen Document Fuckery Trial could very likely end up on hold, too, because Trump is now making the same bullshit immunity claim there, too.

oh, come the fuck on. this should have been a no-brainer. a president is not a king. the Supremes should have thrown Trump’s case back in his face and told him to his nasty criminal ass back to the defendant’s table where it belongs.

why is this lifelong criminal fuck being granted so much deference? anyone else who committed one-tenth of this guy’s crimes would be rotting in jail.

just ask Reality Winner. she stole one classified document and was immediatly arrested and imprisoned.

one document — four year in prison. no polite requests to pretty please give it back. no second chances. no months-long negotiations. she didn’t get to claim immunity and she didn’t get a fangirl judge willing to derail the trial — and she sure as fuck didn’t get to appeal laws are bullshit all the way to the Supreme Court.

justice delayed is justice denied. the American people have a right to know before the election whether or not Donny is a convicted insurrectionist.

and lord help us if King Fuckface regains power. all of these trials are going straight into the shitter if he does — along with democracy.

we must get out the vote in November — and we must give the House back to the Democrats, so that Republicans have no chance to pull any we’re not certifying this election bullshit. because you know they will if they’re given half the chance.

well, that was a bummer. let’s go out with some good news: Glitch McConnell is stepping down as Senate Minority Leader.

good. fuck that frogface asshole. we can’t be rid of him soon enough.

Joan McCarter has a piece up at Daily Kos called the 17 worst things Mitch McConnell did to destroy democracy.

what an evil piece of shit. buh bye, Mitch. fuck off back to your terrarium.
