“But the Trumpian part is that even though, or perhaps because, it may be part of a Trump scam, Knight now too may be on the hook for $175 million as it won’t automatically get out from underneath its own proffered surety.”
Hankey, a billionaire, has already said that his company will be able to post the money for Trump.
He was reacting to a comment on X by lawyer Dave Kingman, who wrote that Knight will not be able to post the $175 million.
“Understand that Knight Specialty has a problem. This bond cannot be approved. Under the CPLR [Civil Practice Laws and Rules] the surety will remain obligated under the bond until a replacement bond is filed. Trump is unlikely to get a replacement bond. Knight Spec will be liable AND Trump won’t have a stay [on enforcement],” he wrote.
My favorite is when racists say “We’ve had a black president so we can’t be a nation of racists.”
Like…somehow having a black president now makes it okay for all of the shit conservatives want to do.
“Thanks Obama”
They did it on CNN. I remember some Republican prick saying, “you know why we’re not racist? Obama.”
It just so happened that the racists got outvoted. Their party really seized upon being racists though.
