Look at this dumb map
He’ll still win in November.
Sorry. 
Don"t be so sure. My Colleagues in Texas who voted Trump in the last two elections, will not vote for him again and will vote for any Democrat Candidate who stands against him. Though they would vote for Nikki Haley, is she is the candidate.
Trump only received 52% of the vote in 2020 in Texas, lowest for a Republican for years, and many think it could be winnable for Biden with its 40 College votes.

Watch the presser, lawyer absolutely tees off on what she deems as corrupt process

In case anyone forgot, Alina Habba is the lawyer who 'befriended’ a sexual assault victim and tricked her into signing a bad faith legal agreement so she couldn’t sue Trump’s company or even talk about it (whilst working for Trump the whole time)

If he wants to appeal it, he has to front the entire sum.
He also cannot use it to file bankruptcy because damages in civil suits aren’t allowed to be used towards it.
Of course, some reactionary super-PAC or lobby group will probably pay it anyway.

This court case was not to decide his innocence or guilt. That had already been decided in another trial. This was purely about damages.
The rhetoric around this trial by FOD (Fat Orange Dude) and his lawyer seems to ignore this point entirely.
The problem he has and will continue to have is that he can’t control a court like he can a rally or a debate by talking over people or outright lying. The judge has control of the process.

I still don’t know how he’s managed to evade contempt of court charges in all of these.

Imo the immense deference vast sums of money and being an ex-President provide you, combined with legitimate personal security concerns over what his supporters would do.
He claimed under oath he had $400 million on hand.

BREAKING: Senate border deal details, per source familiar I just had a call with.
-
Mandatory detention of all single adults.
-
Mandatory “shut down” of border once average daily migrant encounters hits 5,000. Importantly, this 5,000 number includes 1,400 CBP One app entries at ports of entry per day, and roughly 3,600 illegal crossings per day.
-
How is that enforced? Once the 5,000 threshold is hit, a new authority is codified into law that requires Border Patrol to immediately remove illegal immigrants they catch without processing. They would not get to request asylum, they would immediately be removed. This includes removals back to Mexico, and deportations to home countries. This would be a massive change from current policy, which is that once an illegal immigrant reaches US soil, they must be processed via Title 8 and allowed to claim asylum. Under this new authority – they are not processed, and they are mandatorily immediately removed once the “shut down” threshold is reached.
-
This “shut down” also takes effect is there are 8,500 migrant encounters in a single day.
-
The “shut down” would not lift the next day. It wouldn’t lift until daily encounters are reduced to under 75% of the 5,000 threshold for at least two weeks. This means the “shut down” authority would not lift until two weeks of an average of less than 3,750 migrant encounters per day.
-
Some family units will be released with ATD (Alternatives to Detention, ankle monitors etc).
-
New removal authority to immediately remove all migrants who do not have valid asylum claims, which will be determined within 6 months rather than the years long process we have right now.
-
Any migrant caught trying to cross twice during “shut down” phase would be banned from entering US for one year.
-
US will need agreement with Mexico for MX to take back non Mexican illegal immigrants. This hasn’t been ironed out yet.
-
President Biden approves of the deal and is ready to sign it as is, right now, and implement the new authority it would give him.
Biden’s statement about this bipartisan border negotiation:
“It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”

Edit: My thoughts - unlikely for this to pass as Trump has requested the GOP leave the border in disarray for use as a political weapon against Biden.

You know as much of that is incoherent dribble, he isn’t actually going to do any of that. It’s just his typical pre election crapola. Like BUILD A WALL, and LOCK HER UP and GET RID OF THE MEXICAN RAPISTS.
it’s just a load of hogwash.

Truth and Reconciliation Commision 
Dopey Joe has been an embarrassment.
If he is up against Trump it’s game over.
Still a bit to play out though…
How so ? No different to George Bush Senior and Ronnie Reagan in being vague at time.
At least he is not a sleaze like Bill and Donny.

Can hardly string a sentence together. An embarrassment for the ‘most powerful man on the planet’.
For the record: I am not a Trump fan either before anything I say in this thread gets misconstrued.
