Donald Trump does not like to lose, as his announcement that he is seeing(sic) new attorneys to appeal the $83 million defamation judgment proves.

    He also called the judge a “bully” and implied that imposing rules, including evidentiary regulations and courtroom behavior, on Trump and his attorneys was evidence of bias.

    a bully? amazing how this fascist strongman can be such an absolute bitch all the time too.

      The whole gag to fascism is that it is 100% projection at all times, both internally and externally.

      They attack people because they’re afraid to get attacked and they can’t imagine a situation where everyone isn’t thinking exactly like them, so of course it’s only a matter of time before they’re attacked…and thus must attack.

      It’s circular and deeply uncreative, but it is the root of every bully, from the playground to the autocratic despot.

    Expect her to complain about pay in two weeks. Trump will hire a"better lawyer" and the appeal will go wonderfully. He will tank it just like all of his cases. In the past he would get away with stuff but do to the publicity he is finally getting punished.

    I was assured multiple times on Lemmy that Habba wasn’t stupid and that she was doing Trump’s bidding in a crafty way.

    Apparently she’s just stupid.

      I’m assuming every other lawyer at this point declines on ethical grounds or those that don’t have any scruples say “You have a history of not paying lawyers so I’ll need cash up front to represent you” and Trump keeps on looking. Removing those groups and you get Habba as your lawyer.

        I recently heard another one that gave me a chuckle:

        What do you call the lowest of the lowest performing graduate at law school? A lawyer…

        Same goes for this one, and quite possibly scarier:
        What do you call the lowest of the lowest performing graduate at medical school? A doctor…

      I wonder if she’ll be smart enough to sue Trump for her legal fees. I doubt she remembered to ask for payment up front.

      I still don’t think she’s dumb. I think she’s trying to get and stay famous and she’s doing a pretty good job so far. She’s not a good attorney, but that doesn’t make her dumb.

              I don’t think trump’s goal is fame, so no. I do think Kim kardashian is smart for the same reason though. I’m not saying they’re role models, to be clear.

                Are you fucking kidding me? He was a reality TV star for years. He used to insist he had to be in any movie shot in his properties. He brags about his crowd sizes all the time. He recently said privately he was more popular than Taylor Swift.

                What the hell do you think his goal is?

                  That’s a fair point, but I do still get the vibe that he cares more about money than fame. It just seems like he really wanted to run for president, and was disappointed when he won. He seemed to hate the last seven years and now it seems he’s just trying to stay out of jail and not have to pay a whole bunch of money, so he thinks being president again is the only way to do that.

    Maybe Giuliani is free?

    In both that he’s not busy and will work for exposure.

    Legal exposure, of course.

    He doesn’t seem to understand that he’s on a race to the bottom for lawyers.

    The ones who could (potentially) win the case, will never take it. The ones who will take the case have no hope of winning it.

      (sic) is the abbreviation for the Latin phrase “sic erat scriptum” or “thus was it written”.

      It’s used when quoting someone who made an error and you are quoting them verbatim. It’s to let you’re audience know that YOU know better, but the quoted source does not.

      Example:

      “It’s to let you’re (sic) audience know that YOU know better.”

    • IDK what it stands for, but it’s used where theres a mistake in a quote. It’s the journalist saying “yes I know that’s wrong but that’s what the person reallg wrote”.

      I’ve heard that if you’re nice to a journalist they’ll tidy up minor issues like that, but if they don’t like you they’ll leave it incorrect and give you a [sic]

    For someone who famously is too scared to fire anyone in person, I wonder how true this is. It’s far more likely that Habbas is no longer under the illusion that there’s a paycheck waiting for her and it’s being spun as “fired/dumped” for the delicate man-baby’s fragile little ego.

    His only strategy is to string this out on appeals and I guess ineffective counsel is one appeal? Not sure if that’s allowed in this type of case of if you’re the person who had possibly the most lawyers of all time.

      No appeals based on incompetent/ineffective counsel for a civil case. In a criminal case, a convicted defendant may appeal on the grounds of ineffectiveness of counsel at trial. This principal arises because of the constitutional right to be represented by counsel. Such a right would be meaningless unless it implies a right to effective counsel. There is no such constitutional right to counsel in a civil case, and therefore no such ground for appeal in a civil case.
