But my idea of Fitzmas involves a GOP fashion parade consisting of orange jump suits and handcuffs.

Yeah! There’s always Thanks-It’s-About-Fricking-Time-Giving to look forward to.

I wonder who’s going to do the announcements from the booth as the parade goes by?

One side has the facts, evidence & law on their side.
Trump's side doesn't.
BS doesn't work in court.

there r still a couple things that will be litigated, starting monday.
whatever happens, it will happen verrrrry slowwwwly.
it took 10 yrs to unwind the s&l scandal. the govt made money in the end.

if the assets r sold, there will b many attaching their judgements to the proceeds. e jean carroll gets a bite, michael cohen might get a bite. the guys who do the legal work get paid, too.
i’m pretty sure what’s leftover, if anything, goes to cheato as cash.
i cant wait to see the final numbers, but it’s gonna be 10 yrs.

Between existing debt, the judgement yet to be determined, and any new claimants, there won't be enough value in any of those rat traps to pay a penny back to the syndicate, err, family.

Each of those properties is heavily borrowed against. Each is highly over appraised. And not only is any judgement likely to exceed the $250M minimum, it carries interest payments from each year they occurred (going back 10 years).

It's gonna be a Doogie of a bill. And the longer they appeal, the bigger it will get.

Get in trouble for financial things he did for trump.
Probably not because he was the first one to flip.

to Trump. Jared has $2 billion to spend, and he no doubt knows just how overvalued the Trump properties are.
