Less than a month after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would be willing to seize former Republican President Donald Trump’s assets if he is unable to pay the $464 million required by last month’s judgment in his civil fraud case, Trump’s lawyers disclosed in court filings Monday that he had failed to secure a bond for the amount.

In the nearly 5,000-page filing, lawyers for Trump said it has proven a “practical impossibility” for Trump to secure a bond from any financial institutions in the state, as “about 30 surety companies” have refused to accept assets including real estate as collateral and have demanded cash and other liquid assets instead.

To get the institutions to agree to cover that $464 million judgment if Trump loses his appeal and fails to pay the state, he would have to pledge more than $550 million as collateral—“a sum he simply does not have,” reportedThe New York Times, despite his frequent boasting of his wealth and business prowess.

    Well, you could insist your racism is ok, because reasons…

    If you were being honest you could easily provide one of those many videos you claim exist.

      I’m confused? Is there a stereotype that all black women wear pearls and flip their hair when they talk? If you told me that was a stereotype of any race I would actually guess white but I kind of thought that was just something that women with a certain personality did, regardless of race.

      It sounds like you read their comment and visualized something racist in your own mind. Maybe the call is coming from inside the house?

        Yeah in my head I was thinking a white Karen tbh. Am I racist because I picked white? Or not racist because I didn’t choose black? Maybe it had NOTHING TO DO with skin color, until that dude brought it up. 🙄

        By all means, you can provide a link of her actually acting/talking like that too.

        That other account sure as shit doesn’t want to.

        But most people could find a better use of their time than defending racism online, you do you tho I guess…

          I don’t know much about her and I don’t watch her press conferences. I’m not defending anyone, your comment has just genuinely confused me because I’ve never heard of this stereotype in my 33 years on earth, living in a racist state in a racist country.

          I’m just asking how a hair flip and pearls is racist? Can you explain that?

            (Letitia James, wearing her pearls and flipping her hair) “You best believe it.”

            She’s a high level public employee…

            No one would imply a white woman in her position acted like that, and despite you and the other account insisting she acts like that so it’s not racist, neither of you show any interest in taking the two seconds to prove it if she always acts like that like the other account said.

              Can you please just tell me what the racist part is?? Is it misrepresenting her personality that makes it racist? I’m telling you I genuinely do not understand and I’m trying to learn something from you but you seem hell bent on making people out to be racists instead of actually informing people about the topic.

              In that case I think you’re racist because you have misrepresented my personality.

              I literally told you that I would assume it’s a white stereotype of any. When someone says wearing pearls and flipping hair, I literally picture a wealthy white socialite in my mind.

                That looked fun. I noted that you said you hadn’t seen Letitia James in a press conference. So here https://youtu.be/q5A_uZjQ_70?feature=shared

                She always wears the pearls when she dances on the corpse. She used to hair flip, but i don’t see it here. In any case, when she decided not to run for Governor of NY, the current governor said “that’s really bad news for Trump and the NRA”

      Just take the loss, damn. Who doubles down like this when they’re proven wrong!?

        If someone provided the video of her acting like that, I didn’t see it because at some point I’ve blocked them.

        You can link one for other people, if you can actually manage to find it. But I’m not going to see any of your comments anymore either.

          If you are interested you can go and find one, it’s not going to be difficult. We are not here to bring you stuff. What a level of entitlement, sir (or ma’am).

            That’s like when a Christian says God is real, but when you ask for proof they tell you to find proof God isn’t real.

            How can I prove she doesn’t act like that?

            Watch every single second of her on film to verify she doesn’t ever act like a racist caricature, then come back and tell you I was right?

            To prove me wrong is incredibly easy, but no one can seem to do it.

            To prove me right is literally fucking impossible unless I link you ever single second she’s ever recorded on video, and you watch all of it.

            What do you not understand about this?

            Seriously.

            I want to know why so many people don’t understand

      This person is a full time time-waster of some variety. Almost double the comments in a half a year than my entire 8 year reddit account had.

      Sorry you’re being economically pressured to sit in a troll farm, gotta be a rough situation.

        Well, it doesn’t have what every kept saying it would have.

        But thanks for being the only one to actually link a video.
