@bkm based on the math, All they need is 910,000 more donations.
Also, he owes over $450 million (9% interest dating back to 2019.) and hast to post 125% of it to file an appeal, so actually 562 million...(that he'll then lose because he'll lose the suit.)
So yeah, 11.25 Million donors @ $50 each should just about do it. ;-)
The crazy thing is there are enough idiots that might get him close to that goal.
He can also post a 15% ish bond and assets as collateral.
I'd find it *hilarious* if even BAIL BONDSMAN refused to work with him.
@pixelpusher220 @ShredderFeeder can he though? What bondsman would trust him?
@bkm @ShredderFeeder Their conditions probably make him run screaming
@pixelpusher220 @bkm I think they did for the EJ Carroll bond.
@bkm Doesn’t matter HOW much he takes in- you know that SHE’S not getting paid.
He never pays his lawyers. Makes you wonder: who, really, is stupid?
The payment is to NY, not the lawyers. And he has no choice but to pay it.
Even if he appeals, he has to put it up during the appeal.
@bkm You miss my point, or I wasn’t clear enough. The woman next to him is his lawyer, right? Whether he pays the judgment or not he’ll absolutely stiff his lawyer. He always does.
She got a $2.5M retainer up front.
@Bandersnatch @SonofaGeorge @bkm I didn't think she was that smart. I know Kise did.
@Bandersnatch @bkm Yes, I read yesterday how his crowd finding has paid millions to his lawyers. I guess he’s not in charge of that.
@bkm Trump is a human slot machine that never pays off but they can't quit now because they've already put so much into it.
Let them spend their savings.
@bkm They'll give him what's left over from buying guns and ammo. Then they'll complain about the price of groceries.
@lydialurch @bkm When you put it that way, it becomes easy to see how all his successes were exploits of the sunk-cost fallacy -- at every level from his casino patrons, to the GOP, to multinational lenders.
It's almost as if that was the one b-school lecture he stayed awake in.
@bkm ow my sides, stop it 
@bkm I mean, running a scam GoFundMe is par for the course with these guys.
at that rate, he only needs another 8.87 million more suckers.
"I admire Trump because he's a successful businessman"
...
"Trump is asking for money, let me give him some"
The essential nature of the grift and the con and the scam that is Donald #Trump, hatched during his deranged lies about Barack #Obama, extending into his #racist tirades against Mexican immigrants, and continuing through his Muslim ban shortly after the #fascist #bigot took office:
That's my boy. I love that quote.
LBJ was a texas oilman, a brutal, evil motherfucker, and almost certainly, personally, a stone bigot. He was known as "The Hammer".
And he hammered the civil rights legislation through a racist congress.
Politics is strange.
It started before LBJ, but accelerated under him because of the 1964 Civil Rights Act: the defection of the Southern racist Dixiecrats from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, where they remain today.
You'll encounter trolls saying things like "the Democrats are the party of the KKK" or "the GOP is the party of Lincoln."
Ignorant of history or purposefully lying about it.
@bkm should've used this picture instead, talk about how he lost because his poor lawyer couldn't even afford a proper laptop
Dude in the gallery looking like he's munching on an invisible bucket of popcorn
@bkm@mastodon.world didnt someone do this with the border wall money and then they just ran with it? maybe I'm misremembering
@kern@hol.ogra.ph @bkm@mastodon.world
Part of why Bannon & co. were criminally charged.
I'm reminded of this from Christmas Vacation:
Eddie: If only I had that money Catherine and I gave to that TV preacher who was screwin' that hockey player.
Clark: What about the kids?
Eddie: His kids can fend for themselves.
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @bkm I was thinking of the scene in Repo Man where Otto's parents are sparking up and telling him they have no money for him because they sent it all to the preacher on the TV: "We're sending Bibles to El Salvador."
(And it took me several years after I first watched that scene to realize how hilarious that really is. Sure, they totally need Bibles in a place colonized by the fucking Spanish 500 years ago. LOL forever.)
@bkm Only $354,992,296 left to go! 
@bkm Is raising money for fraud penalties permitted under GFM's ToS?
I can't look at the moment but I suspect it isn't
@bkm If you want to have a crack at it, the fraud report form is here https://www.gofundme.com/contact/suggest/fraud
@bkm I reported the fundraiser as fraudulent
"This fundraiser supports remunerating Donald Trump for criminal fines levied against him for committing fraud. If this isn't against the GFM Terms of Service, it should be. Does the fundraiser have an arrangement with Trump to receive the funds? There is a high probability that this is a fraudulent fundraiser."
@bkm Crowdfunding criminal penalties should not only be against GFM ToS, it should be unlawful. One could not serve jail time in lieu for a criminal, this is the same
Alina looks like she's just discovered that there's no way she's gonna get paid. They always have to learn the hard way.
Personally, I like that look on her.
@webaware Just like I told you.
@bkm shhhh...let them donate. Less money to donate to other Republican candidates.
I thought this must be fake since I thought GoFundMe would have a cap, not because Trump or his acolytes wouldn't do it.
It is not: https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-trump-raise-the-settlement
i mean Putin and MBS would like him in. along with the rest of fascists reunited. i don't imagine it's a stretch that anonymous donations could raise that amount.
no one seemed to care when the Russians funded the NRA.
American democracy is having a fire sale.
I hope this is an independent scam, not run by Trump himself.
@bkm In Germany such a fundraiser would be illegal as it would constitute "rewarding crime".
Needless to say I'm shure that's a "flexible funding goal" so whoever set it up will get all the money regardless if it'll remain at 190 people with more money than sense showing over 7,7k towards their insurrection leader...
@bkm isn't this against GoFundMe guidelines?
@bkm We ALL need to start the exact same fundraiser to baffle his supporters.
@bkm@mastodon.world
Thus seems like a joke? Why would Trump give GoFundMe a cut of the grift when he's already got other, well-tested grift-funnels?
