DeSantis: “Just look at all those polling places with presumably democratic voters. It would be a shame if anything happened to them wouldn’t it? Oh look I have this private police force here that I’m not doing anything with…”
“That black guy look suspicious. Better question him.”
Yet Florida doesn’t matter. It will go for DJT no matter what. Same for Texas.
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina are the potential swing states this year. Biden doesn’t need them all but he does need several in order to win. I will be shocked if his campaign doesn’t focus on them.
Sorry, dropping the hijack.
Moderating:
Yes, thank you. I was wondering why you all are discussing this in t his thread. Please drop it now and if you wish to carry on the discussion, there are several other threads better suited.
Deleted per mod note.
Trump says the reason he can’t get a bond is because bonds of this size don’t exist. Ah, yes, a bigly bond, the biggest bond in the history of bonds. I’m sure they would love to help him but they just can’t.
I’m disappointed he didn’t say “unpossible”.
If the state grabs Trump Tower, does Trump get time to move all of his gaudy stuff out? I’d be deeply amused if it turns out he had more documents there.
That’s exactly what I thought when I read that! 
Actually the largest supersedeas bond in US history was the one that Texaco had to put up in the Pennzoil-Texaco case: $13 billion.
Drove Texaco into bankruptcy.
Supreme Court declined to review the alleged constitutional issue
So, Trump’s measly little half billion bond doesn’t even make the running of biglyest ever. What a piker!
[Ninja’d, dammit]
Trumps twuth snipped for brevity (I hated doing that, it is such a piece).
But, the size of the judgement (and, therefore bond) is precedented. …
Yes, but it might lead to un-presidenting… 
Or to put it anohter way -
“The bond companies will no longer take me at my word when it comes to how much money i have or what my properties are worth”
Is there anything that would prevent getting five separate bonds for under $100m each from different insurers?
Set aside the question of how he would secure each bond. I’m only asking about the statement that it’s impossible because insurers won’t issue bonds that large.
I think I read that in his whimper to the court, he said he tried that, and the insurers were like, “naw dog we’re good.”
It’s not impossible. I’ve seen 300 to 400 million bonds in cases I’ve worked on.
But, yes, it could be split up. Obviously, it could get complicated.
Especially if he offered the same properties as collateral to each bonding company.
They’d certainly coordinate with one another. Moot point obviously.
True dat. My WAG is that he doesn’t have enough equity unencumbered by mortgages and such to support a bond in the first place.
ETA: And no bonding company is going to accept being second, third, fourth in line on collateral.
As mentioned in Northern Piper’s post a few posts before, in Pennzoil v. Texaco the bond posted by Texaco was 13 billion.
So as usual DJT is either lying or doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
