Not paying is very on brand for Trump.

What’s your opinion on the slut who received $230k for a blowjob? Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?
The hell are you even talking about? Neither giving, receiving, paying for, nor being paid for a blowjob are the problem. Paying $230k for a momentary indulgence while simultaneously defaulting on other obligations is the problem.
I didn’t think there were enough people on Lemmy for this many downvotes, well done.
Man even made lurkers sit up and take notice of a truly shit opinion.
I explained how to make a lemmy account to my mom just so she could downvote, too.
Sure, criticize the woman for charging people for sex rather than the absolute chump who paid a quarter of a million dollars to hide the fact that he got his pee-pee sucked. That sure sounds like the type of smooth brain deflection a trump supporter would try, but the rest of us ain’t stupid or bigoted enough to fall for it.
Ohhhh, I thought for a moment he literally paid $230k for a hooker. Like, that’s what it would take to get someone to suck him off. You’re talking about the bribe after.
It says a lot that the first thing is still kinda believable, though.

Ill say it… I have no proof but think Melania works for Putin.
My point is that neither should be punished. But if one is, then why isn’t the other? As far as I know prostitution is illegal in this country, both for the Johns and those providing services.
The issue has nothing to do with sex work. Trump wasn’t being prosecuted for buying sex. He was indicted for using political donations to bribe someone, and you think that should somehow be legal? Just stop with this ridiculous exercise in whataboutism. Your head is way too far up your ass to make any sense.

Man did you miss the point. Here let me reword the statement to see if you get it this way:
“What would you expect after paying $230K for a fucking hamburger? How many times do you think he did that?”
Would you consider spending $230k on a single hamburger a savvy financial decision? Now imagine what you look like when you reply with:
“What’s your opinion on the restaurant who received $230k for a hamburger. Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?”
I have no opinion on the person who made cash here. Sex work is still work. You, however, are an asshole.
She seems very fiscally responsible and leveraged her skills into being overpaid for what she’s good at. Sounds like she did good. I’m proud of her.
“The Art of the Deal”
I was actually gifted that book by a roommate who was a trump supporter during his presidency. It was worth more as kindling for my bonfire.
Oh my sweet summer child.
There’s actually fairly few people who wouldn’t blow someone for $230k given the opportunity. There are however very few people who have been paid $230k for a blow.
I have mad respect for someone who can secure that kind of money for someone everyone else does for free.
You can call her a slut if that makes you feel better about yourself but I suspect that you’re really just envious of someone who is that desirable - I know I am.
My personal definition of “slut” is someone who has orgasms without guilt. Pretty sure Trump has never given another human being an orgasm (and if he did, it was an accident). Therefore, they were not sluts, at least in that particular instance.

What the fuck
The word should be reclaimed. See: The Ethical Slut
It’s OK guys he’s taking it back!
Well OK, but you understand that most people have another definition for slut right?
Of course, that’s why I was clear that this is my personal definition.
Personal definition == alternative facts
Jesus fucking christ. Is this a real opinion? Like, not only is this the thought that came to your mind, but after going through the cognitive filter, you decided this is both an accurate and acceptable thing to say?
Reconsider your values and the harm/benefits they bring. You need help.
This comment needs to be an autoresponse to every comment in this entire sub

Dunno, but I can tell you my opinion on the cockwaffle in these comments calling women sluts, if you like?
She got paid $230k to suck him off, while you would do it for free. I respect her more than I would respect you.
Wow… what makes her more of a slut than Trump paying for it while married? (Looking at your profile, all your comments and posts have negative scores so I’m assuming you are just another troll)
Higher than my opinion of a born-rich never-worked-a-day-in-his-life conman who has to pay for sex.

I think he’s just mad that he can’t afford it
My opinion is she was the smartest person in the room while giving said blow job. $230k for 30 seconds of work. You’d clearly do the same thing for 1% of that amount
he’s a sad sack and she got a quarter million dollars for 2 minutes’ work, 5 if you count how long it took to find it underneath his hamberder belly. this isn’t a moral judgment, it’s just about his utter grossness.
No, using money stolen from your campaign to pay for it. And that besides the fact Trump is a sex offender as a matter of fact (eg Carrol). But even if it was not completely consensual, Ms Daniels would have no credibility in the US. So taking a payout was the best she could hope for.
The coverup is what gets them usually. And also here. Look at the hush money charges.
You seem jealous
I think I’m in the wrong business. How long does a BJ take? Like max 15 minutes, probably less once I get some more experience. I would just have to work one afternoon then be set for the year.

The meat:
“Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”
Only problem with that is that it’s not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.
I thought it was the state of New York, but whatever
The E. Jean Carroll defamation case was in federal court.
It really is hard to keep track of all of his criminal trials.
Yes, but the E. Jean Carroll case was a civil trial.
In case anyone thought there was any aspect of the law Trump hasn’t shit on.
It really is
Oh, shit! This article is about the cheap fine!?!?
Donny is in deep shit then.
(I don’t think this one is a “fine”, bit they other is and I don’t know the right words.)
The legal term for Engoron’s ruling (New York state civil fraud judgment) is “undertaking.” In the Carroll case (Kaplan, federal defamation), it’s “damages,” a large portion of which are punitive damages.
Thank you
This time.
What bullshit mental gymnastics of an argument. “I am above the law” is how it reads.
“I’m a great driver, so why are you giving me a ticket for not wearing a seat belt, officer?”
You missed the other meat about judge Kaplan suffering no fools.

So much winning. You’re gonna get tired of winning so much.
It really smells like “My cash flow is drying up and cannot fill all those obligations”. Well, he’s the one who was able to lose money with a casino, so that wouldn’t surprise me at all.
So basically what he is saying is that he wants social security (as in GoFundMe, sponsors and such).
You mean the judgement that he has to start paying this week? The one which I’m pretty sure he hasn’t even filled a boneless appeal in.
Not to mention he already posted the 5M+ bond to appeal the other Carroll defamation ruling. If he’s too rich to have to secure his judgement, why’d he do that?
This waste gets up and complains about the 2 tiered justice system and says he’s a victim of it, yet he’s trying to create a tier just for himself.
He didn’t post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.
Guaranteed they do
How do you hire a bounty hunter to drag someone into court who is protected by Secret Service agents?
Why are we in a reality where the above question even needs to be asked?
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/15/us/politics/qualified-immunity-supreme-court.html
Largely because of this. Someone took it upon themselves to edit the law, and it wasn’t noticed by anyone that cared to actually enforce the law for almost 140 years.
If that law were enforced fully, no one would have immunity from prosecution. Period. End of sentence. Not even a Sitting President. That’s why we have a VP, and a chain of Command.
I’m too rich to fly to the moon, so I won’t do it.
I’m too rich to cure cancer, so i wont do it.
And I’m too handsome to date Amy Adams.
No cap
Donny doesn’t seem to understand that the opposite of ‘priceless’ isn’t ‘too rich’.
One of the few billionaires where I don’t actually believe “cmon baby I’m good for it”
According to several estimates, the guy is nowhere close to being a billionaire
This is deep post-truth territory.
The only thing Trump ever does is contort his reality to protect his ego, so this statement could have been anticipated
If he wants to be a part of the gang then he needs to pay up. He needs to pay his dues.
I’m a Republican, I’m NOT Stupid, and I AGREE!
Your second statement is contradicted by both the first and third.
Of course little buddy.
The first part sort of nullifies the second there, buddy.
Lmao I cannot figure out your post history? You goofing on us?
