7/ Via Kyle Griffin:

Don Jr. and Eric Trump have each been ordered to pay $4 million in ill-gotten gains.

Per Rupar, as news is breaking about his huge fine, Trump is ranting on Lies Antisocial about pics of him w/ his stomach hanging out over his belt while he's golfing as fakes, posting other pics side by side.

And...

Here's what Adam Parkhomenko

Realistically, here's what will happen. He needs, in toto, around $600M in bonds. It will be lost money in either event, should he settle now, or appeal (w/ adjustments, obv). The bulk of that money will have to come from loans secured by properties.

If he can generate enough cash before an appeal would be settled to pay the bill, then he'll appeal. But if he's put in the position of having to sell properties later (in the public realm), then he'll take the loss now. That's the way I see it. It depends on his near term future liquidity.

The entirety of humanity could really benefit from doing away with the concept of social status. Nobody matters less than you. Nobody matters more than you.

Doesn't matter if they are homeless people or super wealthy, intellectually disabled or brilliant, peasants or royalty, nobodies or world leaders, foreigners or fellow citizens, ugly or beautiful... I can go on, but I hope you get the point. Every human life has value. Period.

Apparently a bunch of states are filing amicus briefs backing up Trump's claim that the only reason the DOJ wants the trial to move quickly is because it's politically motivated.

No time to go through them, but one refers to the "breakneck pace" of the DOJ.

There are so many things wrong with that argument, I don't want to get started.

But you can see why Trump filed this. These prosecutions are firing up his supporters to fight for him.

A clearly angered President Joe Biden expressed outrage today at House Republicans for leaving on a nearly two-week vacation without passing legislation to fund Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, or humanitarian aid to Gaza and just ahead of a scheduled federal funding deadline of their own choosing that could result in a government shutdown.

This is brilliant.

I deeply regret buying this TV stand before it went on sale.

Update: Now >20 R states. Voting Rights are on the line & corrupt red🩸states join GA to challenge the state’s new congressional map enacted following the release of 2020 census data.:

"14 states (AL/FL/IN/IA/KS/LA/MS/MT/NE/ND/SC/TX/UT/WV) join GA's argument to cripple Sect. 2 of the VRA by prohibiting private litigants from bringing enforcement cases.

This is a real & immediate danger to voting rights for millions of minority voters."

#POTUS #Biden Says ‘#Putin Is Responsible’ for #Navalny’s Death

Biden said that there was “no doubt” that Putin’s govt was behind the death of #AlexeiNavalny.

“Make no mistake: Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death,” Biden said at a WH news conference, while acknowledging that the #UnitedStates still did not know details of what happened. “What has happened to Navalny is even more proof of Putin’s brutality. No one should be fooled.”

KOSA would still let government decide what information can be shared online, would still require websites, apps and platforms to filter and block legal speech, and probably would still result in age verification requirements, EFF’s @jgkelley told @verge https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/15/24073878/kids-online-safety-act-new-senate-support
