The Supreme Court has scheduled argument for April 25 to review Donald Trump’s claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The case will be heard on the final day of the court’s argument calendar and will determine whether and how quickly Trump faces trial in D.C. for allegedly trying to block Joe Biden’s election victory.

A federal judge on Thursday denied Donald Trump's request to delay enforcement of the writer E. Jean Carroll's $83.3 million verdict in her recent defamation case.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan adds to pressure on the former U.S. president to line up an acceptable bond by Monday so he can appeal.

In the Jan. 26 verdict, jurors agreed with Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, that Trump had defamed her in June 2019 by denying he had raped her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.

Kaplan made the verdict official on Feb. 8, and gave Trump 30 days to post a bond or cash during his appeal, which is expected to challenge the jury's finding of liability and the amount of damages.

Trump had sought to delay enforcement of the verdict until Kaplan ruled on his motions to throw it out, which he filed on Tuesday.

But the judge said Trump should not have waited 25 days after the verdict before seeking a delay.

He also said Trump failed to show how he might suffer "irreparable injury" if required to post a bond.

"Mr. Trump's current situation is a result of his own dilatory actions," the judge wrote.

Kaplan has yet to rule on Trump's request for a reduced bond.
Quote:
Asked on March 5 if he could pay what was owed or post bond in both cases, Trump told Fox News: "I have a lot of money. I can do what I want to do. ... I don't worry about the money."

A fair assessment of who the Republican Party has picked as its presidential candidate.

More fool them if they really think that the USA is doing anything other than looking after its own interest. Putin invading alaska is the only way that I can see USA getting involved .

Hope you’re never in a jury presiding over me, if that’s your definition of fair.

Yes, There’s much in there that’s true, and much that isn’t or at the very least questionable.

As soon as you throw in a racist, almost immediately….whatever, another hack.

I wonder how Trump will react to these allegations.
Quote:
Donald Trump said Adolf Hitler "did some good things" and praised Vladimir Putin on more than one occasion during his time in the White House, his former chief of staff has claimed.

Mr Trump, who is currently on the campaign trail and hoping to land a second stint as president, also repeatedly admired North Korea's Kim Jong Un, according to a new book.

General John Kelly, a retired marine who became the Trump administration's longest-serving chief of staff, makes allegations about Mr Trump's views in a forthcoming book by a CNN journalist.

Mr Kelly tells Jim Sciutto that the then-president "thought Putin was an OK guy and Kim was an OK guy" - before recalling a specific conversation they allegedly had about Hitler.

He says: "[Trump] said, 'well, but Hitler did some good things'. I said, 'well, what?' And he said, 'well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy'.

No point. From his perspective the legal system is rigged against him, and it’s just handing it an opportunity to condemn him. At best it rules in his favour - undermining his claims the system is rigged.

Ok Hitler did some *positive* things. He got Germany working again. He got their autobahns running. So on that basis yes he did do some good.

However the small matter of his plan for total extermination of Jewish people kind of overshadows that. Such a mass genocide has a habit of trumping (no pun intended) benefits to the economy.

I’m not suggesting I think the deranged orange tosspot would order the deaths of millions. But I’m convinced he has it in him to turn a blind eye to it happening in other countries if he believed allowing it to happen would help ‘make America great again’ (although many of us struggle to recall when his country was originally regarded as ‘great’).

Also Mussolini made the trains run on time*

The orange nightmares already told Putin to Do what you want, as for hitler Gustav Stresemann got them out of hyper inflation and the nazis carried on the policies of Kurt von Schleicher's government that led to full employment, interestingly hitler did use the slogan make Germany great again more than once though

This is a claim often made, however it’s a fallacy. If you’re assessing someone’s legacy you can’t pick an arbitrary end date, at which point you declare something a success. Otherwise, I could throw myself off a cliff and claim to have learned the secret of flight. And I will seem to have done so, until I hit the rocks - which is exactly what Hitler’s policies did to Germany. His economic and infrastructure reforms were directly linked to militarisation, misappropriation of wealth (mostly of Jews), then annexation of foreign territories and mobilisation of national sentiment by creating scapegoats (again, mostly against Jews). The ‘good’ Hitler did can’t be decoupled from the inevitable consequences of the way he went about it.
