The issue is what the valuation of the seized assets are. The asset seizure is only to fulfill the monetary debt since he cannot pay the entire amount in cash. If he could pay it in full, there would be no seizure (unless the seizure itself was a separate part of the judgement). The valuation is essentially what someone is willing to pay for it, and in this case, there are only 2 bidders to value it.

The Onion's bid was not the highest bid, but does have the backing of the family. Jones on the other hand also has a right for the valuation to be as correct as possible to fulfill his debt. This type of situation isn't particularly unique, and it's not exactly new.

The Judge could end up deciding that The Onion's bid goes through due to family backing since the debt is to them and the asset being sold is directly relevant to the judgement, but the valuation of the opposing bid is counted against the debt, which is the only thing Jones is really entitled to here.

As always. It's what they always do. They intentionally set dates in the future they know the Dems will likely be in charge, and let the bullshit they set into motion inevitably hit the fan while they blame the "current" government. And the media goes with it instead of calling them out on it because that's where the money is.

News organizations should be required to be non-profit. At least force them to try and hide the money trail.

I mean that's what happens when you cancel everything and close studios.

Can't release anything if you aren't making it.

I mean the Onion was overshadowed only because real life went off the rails and became a parody of itself.

14 million isn't something Harris could do on her own. They left because the Dem establishment gave no reason to show they cared about people. While the Republican were saying "it's hard, we'll fix it" the Dems kept insisting "it's actually not that bad".

Obviously the Reps "fix" will be worse, but the Dems just stuck their head in the sand and ignored everything the average American needs to get by on a daily basis. It's why 14 million voters abandoned them. 1 million went to Trump, the other 13 million gave up.

It's almost as anti-technology as about half of the Congress Critters. The ones older than email at least, seems to be the general benchmark for insisting on the old ways.

Not the OP, but I started reading it, and the first sentence is starting the bullshit already.

Conservatives backed Trump by bigger percentages than in 2020.

There were 1 million more votes for Trump than in 2020, while there were 14 million fewer votes for Harris compared to Biden. So while it's technically true it's ignoring the damned elephant in the room. 13 million people didn't sit out this election or switch sides because of Liz Cheney.

If the very first sentence is already this disingenuous, the rest of the article isn't even worth wasting my time.

I never claimed that email or patient portals weren't allowed.

The Supreme Court already told them they can't do that to get Trump on this ballot after he violated the 14th Amendment with his failed insurrection attempt last time. And they went with it. Why would they do this any differently?

The EU is made of individual, sovereign nations with each their own language and culture and political system and laws and regulations.

So are US States. The language is generally going to be the same, but culture, politics, laws and regulations all vary dramatically between US States. Most laws that people deal with in their daily lives are State laws, not Federal.

Most of these countries have very little in common except the fact that they happen to be on the same continent.

You could say the same about a lot of US States. Texas and California are dramatically different and likely wouldn't be in the same grouping if things were being built today.

The only thing that keeps them from being at war with each other is trade. And that's where the EU comes in.

Have you seen the divide between the various US States? Texas 100% would go to war with California if given the chance.

Don't make excuses face reality or else you are as much to blame as them.

Get off your high horse. Attitudes like yours are part of the reason many of those people have decided to just go with the opposite viewpoint. There are a lot of Trump supporters that vote only out of spite, to "get back" at people expressing that type of attitude.

The Republicans just being obstructionists that do the exact opposite of whatever the Democrats plan didn't come out of nowhere. It got them votes. A lot of them.

The "modern" fax machine using telephone was invented in 1964 by Xerox, but technically the fax machine goes back to 1843. Bain patented the electric printing telegraph, which used pendulums and electric signals to scan images and send them over telegraph wires.
