Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He claims not to have that kind of scratch.
I'm skeptical there isn't a lot that's hidden, protected, in someone else's name, etc.
And even if he had it, I'm expecting an Alex Jones situation where he's able to avoid paying a ridiculous amount.
Still, I'm hopefull they'll at least be able to get a million each or something. And if Rudy G really does have to live a broke life from here on out, that'd be great.
Edit:. Also, there is like zero chance that a guy made as much money as he did, and hung around the crowd he did, and didn't hide a bunch of it.
So the courts just need to keep taking things away.
He's seen in a new fancy suit, court approaches and makes him take it off and put on a burlap sack.
He's seen dining at a nice restaurant, the court barges in and takes the steak away and replaces it with government cheese.
He tries to board a flight in first class, court automatically changes his seat to a aisle seat next to a screaming baby.
He shall have no luxury.
Can we form a special agency whose entire purpose is to enforce poverty and shame unto rich people who haven't paid civil judgements like this? Make a TV show from bodycam footage and it will be a net-zero agency, probably fairly profitable.
Or just you know, jail them?
