Reuters [did a study](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/how-reuters-calculated-trump-organizations-financial-situation-2024-08-21/) about likely Trump business income, using published information including stuff that came out of his trials, plus expert estimates. The purpose was to see how he might be doing considering the $500 million-plus legal judgments outstanding against him. Their conclusion was, roughly, $80 million net in 2024, with most of that coming from his resort-type properties. That’s disappointingly large, but probably not as much as he brags about. ---

Trump and his supporters are really good at whining, “we weren’t actually meant to be taken seriously!” when someone from the other side actually does, or when the shoe is on the other foot. ---

Hillary mishandled some emails. It wasn’t a big deal. Trump is a **convicted felon**. He was found guilty of 34 felonies and is awaiting sentencing. People who don’t understand that are fucking dipshits. ---

In November 2023, she reported to a federal Bureau of Prisons facility for treatment. Last month, Mehta ruled that SoRelle had recovered to an extent that she could understand the nature of her charges and could assist in her defense. ---
