It's Tuesday here in Seoul, but it's still Monday on the US east coast—the day that Trump is due to pay his bond in the Letitia James-Arthur Engoron real-estate case. And there has been at least one major development while I slept.

In the vid below, Styx mentions the idea that, if Letitia James is going to try to collect Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, that's going to be chaotic.
