This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
It's actually quite small.
That looks to be a cello or bass.... Violins would have a chin rest.
Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow
The bow is also on the wrong side of the bridge. Though now that I think of it, that might produce an even higher sound like you would expect of a microscopic violin?
He’s not even holding the bow at the frog. I’m beginning to question if he even knows how to play the violin.
Look, he's trying, ok? He only started learning last week and it's an instrument made for a completely different physiology!
That’s for a human grade violin. This is tardi grade.
Wow, that must be a really, really tiny violin. Where can you even get that?!
Minuscule Music and More. It's on the miracle mile right next to Kohls.
Trump and his company need to post a bond for the full amount by next week in order to stop New York Attorney General Letitia James from being able to collect while he appeals.
He doesn't have the cash to pay, so when NY collects, they can start forcing sales on his property.
If he gets the bond, then it just sits there till after appeals. Which would prevent him from selling property he put up for bond, but he'd still own them.
If he misses that bond, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate
The fact that no bond companies would accept real property as a collateral for the bond and only liquid or easily liquified assets points to the properties being leveraged to the hilt. If he ends up having to pay even a portion of this and has to start selling properties we should see a true picture of his financial status.
Imagine if he wins the election and is flat broke. He'll auction off everything the US owns in exchange for a cut or finder's fee. And let's not pretend that the emoluments clause actually applies to any of elected leaders.
We don't have to imagine too hard here. The fact that he's even able to run for president again is a travesty of justice.
Additionally, this judgment is for his civil fraud trial. Where he was found liable for inflating the value of his properties in order to obtain loans against them.
Given that, I can understand a general reluctance to loan against the value of his properties.
The other bond companies will not “accept hard assets such as real estate as collateral,” but “will only accept cash or cash equivalents (such as marketable securities),” the filing said.
Perfection.
They won't let him pay with play money anymore.
AKA "we have no idea how much your property is actually worth because you've been lying about it for years, so we want things that have a value set by someone other than you."
Oh no, he will have to sell the things he inflatated the price for illegally at actual market price.
Below, hopefully.
The aggression in Liotta’s laugher makes it the most appropriate gif.
PSA: it's not over yet, they have until 25th of March. Don't discard a boatload of rubles showing up on March 24th.
Aww, that’s too bad.
So anyway, what are you guys up to this week?
Applying for emergency funding grant from my workplace to move back home and get a new home. Things are actually looking pretty good for me after seven months of living a complete and utter nightmare. When I got the news that I will probably be given the financial assistance I finally need as long as my paperwork is in line, I had to step off the sales floor and going to the bathroom and cry a little bit. I had a really good day today.
It’s been A really long time since had something to hope for
Thanks for asking
What's he need a bond for? Isn't he a billionaire?
He's a billionaire the same way I'm a $10k-naire if I get a $10k cash advance from my credit card and put it in the bank.
Leticia James is a bad ass who painted this guy into a corner. I love it.
He's got to be fuming. He's managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it's happening. He'll drain the RNC by August.
Gee, he can't pay for his business fraud judgments with his sneaker fraud or his nft trading card fraud?
What about all the bribes he illegally and treasonously accepted by premiers of hostile countries?
Make him sell off his properties. Turn mar-a-lago into an immigration center
If only he hadn't publicly slandered the same person twice more after successfully being sued the first time.
I'm late, but better late than never!
Now even our Gloriously Orange Saviour's lawyers are spouting FAKE NEWS! Bunch of LINOs!
There's no bond! There's no judgement! Some very smart folks are saying there may not even be a legal system! Have you ever actually SEEN a judge?
Fear not, our Incredibly Patriotic and Stable Genius is still running the show from Truthy Social.
Ok, hopefully that's everyone inoculated.
Lock him up
Can't he sell platinum Trump steaks?
lol, what a loser
Awww, I love this for him. <3
"Unpossible! He's a gabillionaire! Fake News!"
Maybe his daddy Vlad will bail him out.
Oh no. /s
My chuckles will not be contained.
