"Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either 'CRAZY,' or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT," Trump wrote
It's not often Trump writes something I agree with, but I have to admit, they are certainly one of those two things.
Yeah but he screwed up the quotes again. Should be:
Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either CRAZY, or a ‘TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT’
The true American patriots are the ones who take the case on the side of the prosecution.

It's New York, he has to post the 83M before he can appeal in a civil case. They don't let deadbeats waste their court time.
So glad there's finally stakes for this fucker and also its unfalsifiable. She gettin' paid no matter wat
Pardon me if I don't hold my breath that Trump is actually going to pay. If Carroll gets her money, it will be from some PAC or friendly billionaire who wants to be able to pull the president's strings.

It is this kind of news that has allowed me to catch my breath. I no longer see a turnip dictatorship as an inevitability; a real and immediate danger, but one that feels less and less likely.
Likewise, but don't get complacent. The threat isn't over yet.
Agreed, 100%. Why it’s still real and immediate, feels like there is some hope. We gotta work for it though.
It just has to get through the Supreme Court, not overturning a fundamental building block of the entire US justice system. Or more likely, stating that the reward "was too much."
And 3 of them seem to be on his side hell or high water; with a fourth being apparently really quite cheap to buy the loyalty of.
It's still a very real and persistent threat. Recent polls put him dangerously close, and he did alarmingly well in 2020.
Do not get complacent. We can win, but it is certainly not guaranteed. Stay active, and even contribute (time, money, etc) if possible.
I live in one of the handful of "states that matter" in the electoral college and in 2022 we broke so blue it's amazing. The GOP here is dead broke and has fallen to infighting. I'm not even sure they've worked out who's in charge after the former leader refused to accept the validity of the vote kicking her out. We are prosecuting fake electors.
It's almost ridiculous how hard Trump is going to lose Michigan. That's not the whole election, but it's a big piece.
It's certainly looking positive up there. But those Trump voters are still there, and will still go vote for his fascism. You may not see them until then, but they are there. They also tend to not be involved in the rest of the GOP.
All that he needs to do to win Michigan is convince enough people that he can't/won't win.
100% true. I just am feeling more like the efforts will pay off than usual. Might just be the good day I’m having :)

I'm sure all the best lawyers are on truth social
That's the funniest part of all this. I heard his lawyer talk once, and I could instantly tell she was chosen because she was MAGA, not on legal merits.
Literally the best he can get now are all on truth social lmao
Calling something a "Trump case" should become an informal description among lawyers for a hopeless defense of an idiot loudmouth client.
Funny how "Trump card", having been a been used as something that is a sure absolute win, will turn into the exact opposite. I see people saying it throughout media of the last 30 years. Kids that watch that old stuff in the future will have no fucking idea why they would say that.
Trump Card is going to end up being all the incriminating evidence you left behind.
Bill Clinton left a Trump card all over that dress... :-P
Why is this the second Monical Lewinsky joke I've seen on Lemmy today? Did I fall into a time warp?
Slick Willy strikes again.

Trump is being told repeatedly that shutting up is free, and yet he still keeps flapping his jaws.

Yes, it is ahem the "lawyer's fault", right...
"I can say the person I raped is not my type and didn't rape. The only reason I gotta pay 83 million is because I got fucked by my lawyer! - trump
Ofc not, he prefers ~~his daughter~~ younger girls.
Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either 'CRAZY,' or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT," Trump wrote
Oh boy, I know the answer to this one!
TIL "true American patriot" is the legal hiring term for "must be passionate about your job" and "we're all a family here".
"Doing it for ~~exposure~~ patriotism."
Calling all 'patriots!' Who wants to be stiffed of payment by the conman next?!
You mean the man with a reputation for not paying his lawyers is having trouble finding competent legal council?
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

"... and it appears that a better lawyer is worth at least seventy eight million dollars" - LegalEagle is not impressed with this representation!
So a loser wants to hire another loser after their last loser lost.
