Oh. I didn’t realize that. Good deal! Thx. Ignorance fought.

I’ve always said, if media has already pre-mocked your ideas, you really need to stop and rethink your approach.
*The fact that he’s both a wobber and a wapist (and a pick-pocket) is actually kind of on-brand here 
Well, sort of. He found a sucker…er, underwriting company that put up a bond. So, they’re on the hook to get the money back from him.
So she’ll get the money, but the odds of him actually paying his creditors? Let’s just say I’m not going to hold my breath
I thought the underwriters didn’t have enough cash on hand to secure the bond and it was refused, or did he find another suck-up underwriter?
There are two of them. He found suckers for both. He did try to argue before the court he shouldn’t have to put up any money but the court was having none of that.
For this particular case, his law firm put up the money ($5 million plus interest). Carroll will get this soon presumably.
He also found an underwriting company (Federal Insurance Co, which is a subsidiary of Chubb) for the bigger $83 million (plus interest). This one is still working through the appeal process
No doubt each has been compensated in other ways.
He did. I don’t have access to this whole story, but there’s enough to get the gist:
Trump Posts Nearly 92 Million Bond to Appeal E. Jean Carroll Case
Still don’t know who put up the money, though.
ETA: Ninja’d by @Great_Antibob with better links!
Chubb.
And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
[missed the link AND the ‘ninja’ comment that could have – and, arguably, should have – led me TO the link :-)]
I’m just glad E. Jean Carroll is going to get her money without having to go through the hassle of trying to collect it after a final judgment. The SCOTUS declining to take up the first case bodes well for her in the second one, too.
Okay, so is the bottom line that trump won’t be out any personal $$$? That fits with what I thought in the first place.
Yes but he LOST the case so he is a LOSER. That’s what will chafe him the most.
Well, the companies which fronted the money will absolutely try to get Trump to pay them back; they were, in a sense, acting as bail bondsmen. I have no doubt that Trump had to sign legal contracts as part of the companies putting up the money for him. I also have no doubt that both companies were/are well aware of Trump’s history of ignoring debts.
Remember that Trump is the one found liable in the cases, and Trump is the one whom the courts ruled had to pay Carroll. Whether those companies will have any success in getting Trump to pay them back is another question.
I pretty sure the robot is meant to be the reanimation of Jeffrey Epstein.

Don’t ask how it was trained. You don’t want to know.
Like this?
Or this
Quid pro quo is a form of being paid back, I suppose. 
Will it, though?
I’m in full control of my faculties, and I can’t keep track of all the millions of lawsuits, potential lawsuits, and other drama swirling around this incompetent. I can’t imagine that he keeps track, either. I imagine his lackies present him with the slate of good news and minimize the bad. Chances are that he won’t even hear about it, since there’s nothing he needs to do. That’s what lawyers are for.
He’s already tweeted (or whatever they call it) about the loss, so he knows.
Of course, he’s so addled by dementia and whatever else is wrong with him (not to mention he was never especially sharp), I’m not confident he’ll remember 5 minutes from now
Oh, well, good. Even five minutes of his unhappiness is something.
My bold.
BWA-HAHAHA!
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
<ThelmaLou wipes tears of laughter from her eyes.>
This is more like it.
Good luck with that, dumbass.
