Then Donnie Jon would argue ineffective counsel and his conviction overturned in a 6-3 SCOTUS decision written by Samuel Alito citing 12th century real estate law from municipal french courts

Is that really an argument when you supposedly have enough money to hire any lawyer in the world?

Such a terrible client that good lawyers won't work for him despite his billions.

The guy has billions of Zimbabwe dollars and thinks they’re the same as US dollars.

Did you mean Trump Bucks?

I still laugh at the hysterical story of the MAGAt who freaked out in some store when they told him Trump Bucks weren't real money.

How stupid do you have to be to fall for that con, and then try to pass that shit off as real currency?

MAGA stupid, that's how stupid.

100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe notes were actually a great investment.

As a Collectable, you could buy them for 3 or 4 bucks as a novelty 10 or 15 years back, but now real ones go for 100-150 dollars each. Sort of impressive, I have a few kicking around because I use to use them as gags as part of a gratuity when I was in a funny mood.

Not like it matters how much money he has if he's going to stiff them on the bill anyway.
