looks like he’s giving up his penthouse apartment but wants to keep the fridge that’s inside of it.
[/quote] Usually that is allowed as long as you replace the appliance with a “reasonable” replacement for the space
ok, if I was prosecution - has he ever worn it? Is it on display?
personally, I have hated Guiliani since the early 80’s and I am loving every minute of this.

The article says it’s the fridge in the New York penthouse. The penthouse is being surrendered. IIRC he is using his Florida house as his primary residence hence why he voted there.
Florida man fights to avoid separation from his beloved fridge?

Maybe it’s the same fridge that Indiana Jones used.
Why would you move a used fridge from NYC to Florida? Further, if he has the cash to do that, shouldn’t it be going to his creditors?
For all we know he may just be throwing spanners in the system till Trump gets in power and tries to help him out. It’s just one additional thing of those weird things that are happening now.

I also wonder, don’t know, how the rules might change when you willfully evade turning over the assets you’re legally required to.
Like when you must give up your Mercedes and instead publicly flaunt it in the media, perhaps judges become less sympathetic to your “but how will I ever be able to eat?” argument.
I think it’s not supposed to matter because he’s already required to give up everything that he’s not allowed to keep. But I can imagine that an annoyed judge would be less inclined to go along with an edge case (such as calling the Joe DiMaggio shirt “clothing”) than a not annoyed judge.
US politics and governance was easy till the billionaires made it a play ground. We even see it with PACs that push special interest group agendas. It seems to boil down to everyone has a price. And scotus and some judges have already been bought.
Bolsonaro is being charged for an attempted coup. At least one country has the stones to stand up to a former leader who tried to overturn an election.

He still has a lot of support in the south of the country and the countryside (conservatives and evangelicals)
But people down in Rio (he lives about 5 minutes away from us) are also pissed because of his family’s brazen levels of grift at the State level (it would probably make even Trump blush). The family has basically been caught stealing public funds for many years via all sorts of nefarious schemes.
My wife tells me its very likely he will end up in jail as few people will be protecting him now politically-speaking.
The story is way worse than most people realised.
They had active plans to kill the President and the head of the Supreme Court.
The coup came very close to becoming reality.

Here you can plot to kill the vice president, and if you are the president you are immune as that’s an official act.

I feel like JD Vance should be very cautious. Trump doesn’t seem to be hesitant to try offing his own VP.
I’m kinda curious if anyone turned Trump down for that reason.
Vance is opportunistic… I suspect his true feelings about Trump are more in line with what he was saying in 2016. You could tell during the debate that he was struggling to defend Trump. More than a true MAGA supporter would, I think.
But he values power. I wonder who, if anyone, values life enough more than power to turn Trump down for VPOTUS.
Thiel has always been a big Trump backer so I wonder how much Vance is influenced by Thiel. I also assume that Vance is more a Thiel choice than a Trump choice.
