That's his legal fees, right?

I would think that the AG's office would know to do a title search on all the properties it intends to seize. If there are no prior liens, they're home free. If there are, they will calculate what it will take to pay off the liens and set an opening bid that will satisfy the liens and substantially reduce the debt owed to the state. Then on to the next property.

The big question I have is, if the New York AG starts to seize Trump properties, how leveraged is Trump? It could be that the New York Ag seizes a property, sells it to the highest bidder, and, finds that Trump is underwater, that he owes more money on the property than its sale price. That means the creditors do not get fully paid back, New York gets no money off of that property; and, the New York AG seizes another property. This could go on and on. Who knows when it would all end?

He's gonna do a lot of normal stuff when that happens.

Semantics.

I can't read the article which requires a subscription to Fox News which I have no intention of doing, but the six dismissed charges are as good as gone. Refiling the violation of oath charges with reference to the specific oaths that were broken would take time and delay the trial even further.

Trump is going to get away with everything outside of New York, isn't he?

He didn't threw it away. He dismissed some of the charges as too vague and invited the prosecution to refile them in a more specific way.

So three more resignations and Jeffries is Speaker. Do I dare to dream?

Trump suggests he’s open to cuts to Medicare and Social Security after attacking primary rivals over the issue.

“There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements,”

Honestly, if the Democrats can't win against a guy who does nothing but cut ads for them, I don't know.

Maybe Gavin Newsome or another Democratic Governor.

Newsome's been clearly running some kind of shadow campaign as Biden-Harris' loudest surrogates in the media circuit. I have no idea what happens if Biden decides not to run a the convention or something and leaves it up to power brokers, but I have to imagine Newsome would be seen by many as the most palatable choice. He's about to face another stupid pointless recall though.

That's nomination contest... lack of incumbency...

If Biden resigns or dies in office before the convention in July, Harris is automatically president and the presumed 2024 candidate. If he drops out of the race before the convention and frees his delegates to vote their conscience, it will be a free-for-all with, as gunnar says, Newsome or one of the other popular governors, likely Wittmer (Michigan), Pritzker (Illinois) or possibly Beshear (Kentucky) emerging as the candidate. If he resigns or dies in office after the convention, but before the election, the party can replace him on the ballot if there is enough time. If his name remains on the ballot he can still be elected, but his vice president-elect will be sworn in as president. If he resigns or dies after the election, the same thing apples.

Maybe Gavin Newsome or another Democratic Governor.
