Wonder if Tish will appeal today’s Appellate Division’s bond ruling to the New York Court of Appeals. Wouldn’t you love to be the Trump lawyer who has to tell him the Court of Appeals has reversed and has reinstated the original trial court order.

That's an interesting thought. I was assuming the reduction would simply put this to rest without more hullabaloo...and it's not unheard of, apparently, to reduce the bond amount despite the law in NY being quite clear.

Trump's going to crow about how rich he is with the Truth Social deal for about 6 months or when the stock crashes before then. But $1.2 million in revenue and losing users and money hand over fist isn't a recipe for multi-billion valuations and eventually the investors will run for the exits.

It'll be interesting to see the first SEC quarterly filing; any takers on a bet that the report is either extremely skimpy on facts or proves later to have been downright fraudulent?

Let us commence the loyalty oaths:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... mp-hiring/

"Those seeking employment at the Republican National Committee after a Trump-backed purge of the committee this month have been asked in job interviews if they believe the 2020 election was stolen, according to people familiar with the interviews, making the false claim a litmus test of sorts for hiring.

In recent days, Trump advisers have quizzed multiple employees who had worked in key 2024 states about their views on the last presidential election, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private interviews and discussions. The interviews have been conducted mostly virtually, as the prospective future employees are based in key swing states.

“Was the 2020 election stolen?” one prospective employee recalled being asked in a room with two top Trump advisers.

The question about the 2020 election has startled some of the potential employees, who viewed it as questioning their loyalty to Trump and as an unusual job interview question, according to the people familiar with the interviews. A group of senior Trump advisers have been in the RNC building in recent days conducting the interviews.

The questions about the 2020 election were open-ended, two people familiar with the questioning said.

“But if you say the election wasn’t stolen, do you really think you’re going to get hired?” one former RNC employee asked.

“Candidates who worked on the front line in battleground states or are currently in states where fraud allegations have been prevalent were asked about their work experience,” RNC and Trump spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez said in a statement Tuesday. “We want experienced staff with meaningful views on how elections are won and lost and real experience-based opinions about what happens in the trenches.”

RNC staffers were told en masse in early March that they were being let go but could reapply for jobs, and the application process has included an interview with the Trump advisers. The Trump advisers this week are vetting both former employees and some laid-off employees — whose last day is Friday — to decide how many can either return or stay with the RNC.

Doug Heye, a longtime GOP strategist who worked as communications director at the RNC, said the party had long expected staffers to mimic the positions of its presidential candidates. “You’re there for that specific reason,” he said, “to back the candidate up and go along with the worldview.”

But nominees other than Trump wouldn’t make such outlandish claims, he said, or put employees in such an uncomfortable spot.

“The problem with Trumpism is that despite bringing in very smart and very capable people, if you want to play Trump’s game, you have to back him up on everything he says. Claims about the election being stolen is kind of the last frontier of that,” Heye said.

Other questions have included what they believe should be done on “election integrity” in 2024, along with basic questions about their job responsibilities, their previous employers and their opinions on how things are going at the RNC.

Instead of having employees based in Washington, Trump advisers have told prospective employees that many will be expected to move to Palm Beach, Fla., to be near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, hollowing out the RNC headquarters. RNC officials have said it is about combining the operations of the campaign and the committee for maximum use ahead of the general election.

The hiring process came after Trump grew disillusioned with the leadership of RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who then stepped down in early March. One of his main gripes was that the RNC had not done enough to focus on “election integrity” or to boost his claims that the 2020 election was stolen. McDaniel, for her part, faced a widespread revolt this week at NBC News over her past comments questioning the validity of the election after she was hired as a contributor; NBC announced Tuesday that it was reversing its decision.

Trump installed Michael Whatley, a loyalist from North Carolina, as the chairman of the party, along with daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair.

Trump has falsely maintained that the election was stolen since 2020 and has often endorsed candidates based on agreement with that belief. He is facing charges in federal court in Washington over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Some Trump advisers have urged him for years to stop talking about the election, but he has largely resisted those entreaties."

I sure hope the Trump Bible has corrected the error in the original Bible in which it said Second Corinthians instead of Two Corinthians. I heard if you pay a little extra, Trump, himself, will cross out “Second” with a sharpie and write in “Two.”

Maybe Trump will do an audiobook and read the Bible for his rabid followers. He will no doubt skip over the adultery commandment. When he gets to the part about coveting his neighbor’s wife, maybe he’ll ad lib and say “it doesn’t say anything about coveting your own daughter.”

Imagine a world in which the Democratic National Committee went effectively broke, and President Biden put Hunter Biden or some other family member in charge of the DNC, then moved their headquarters to Delaware, and began fundraising to pay Biden's millions of dollars in legal fees. This is what has happened to the RNC, and it actually appears that no Republicans care.

Imagine a world in which a Democratic majority had three Speakers in the space of a year, largely because a defeated Presidential candidate running to be elected again imposed a veto on a legislative bargain between the parties and the Executive and Legislative Branches.

Imagine a world in which the Democratic nominee for the Presidency was hawking Bibles and [astoundingly unattractive] sneakers while campaigning and ostensibly for his campaign.

Imagine so-called Christian and evangelical voters ardently following a man found liable for sexual assault, with numerous other creditable allegations of the same, a long association with Jeffrey Epstein, and numerous felony counts for business fraud and attempting to subvert democracy.

Talk about the "country that was."

JFC. You, with the eye roll over what this Orange Charlatan and sexual abuser/rapist trafficking in the Bible, coupled with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, on Holy Week, is doing, are becoming a caricature of a Trump toady.

"I know he wants to suspend the Constitution and stay in office forever, but if that disrupts the status quo, then, gee, ...."

Do you not understand why the Framers made the separation of church and state an article of faith and integral to the Constitution? Because when the little book of myths gets tumbled around by venal, faithless asshats like this charlatan, it diminishes real faith communities.

That's not really the point though is it, youth? Trump doesn't believe there's one word or person in that book that is going to make you a better person and improve your life than his words and his example of how to live your life and what kind of person you should be. He doesn't believe that anymore than the snake oil salesman believes that his magic elixir will cure all that ails you. No doubt a bunch of his worshippers will get themselves a copy. Meanwhile, I just keep smh.

Maybe you and seacoaster fail to see how God can and does work. If you put a Bible in the hands of people that would have otherwise never had one, or even read it, that becomes a personal relationship between the reader and their thoughts....which can, and often enlighten people to see a broader spectrum of their lives and that of Christ.

Who gives a chit how the bibles are getting in their hands, not everything needs to be political.

Geezuz H, Trump selling bibles isn't political?!?!? He's doing it to for us to save ourselves from ourselves and see the light? There's something in the universe that's bigger than he is and words that have more meaning than his?!?! Not a chance of that, just snake oil, vote garnering, in a bible binder. Nope, we don't want to get into the God thing and how getting bibles into people's hands, no matter how, is a good thing and going to save all and make the country/world a better place. He works in mysterious ways alright. Not gonna buy the book anymore than I buy what's in it. Will continue to smfh though.
