I still remember watching Superman II in a packed cinema and when he yelled "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" the audience just erupted with laughter. He also got a good laugh (and it was a great line) when he made the president kneel before him and surrender and when the president said "Dear God" he replied "That's Zod." He was really hammy in that movie, but that made him the perfect supervillain for that movie, imo.
 


Trump’s legal strategy in every case was to throw sand in the gears and delay as much as possible …. but this is an extremely long time for the court to take to issue an opinion.

“… A five-justice panel has yet to render a decision nearly a year after taking up the case, leaving him and his business in limbo. Behind the scenes, members of the panel have been divided, and three of them have been writing opinions, according to people familiar with the matter. It couldn’t be determined how they are split. Justices do occasionally shift their positions, and the number of opinions could change, the people said.

… For the New York Appellate Division’s First Department, the Trump matter is among the most high-profile cases in its history, and the outcome could influence future business regulation in the state.

For Trump, whose legal entanglements largely faded after his return to the White House, the fraud case is his main private legal headache. At stake isn’t only the half-billion dollar penalty, growing by the day with interest, but the possibility that his sons could be barred from running his family company in the near term. The president asks regularly why the court hasn’t ruled, said people who speak to him. …”

“… The First Department typically issues decisions within 30 days, according to a 2024 court report. For each of the past five years, that report said, the court began its new annual session each September with zero pending and undecided appeals.

… If the court upholds the trial judge’s decision, Eric Trumpand Donald Trump Jr. would be barred from holding a position as an officer of a New York company for two years. Trump and his company for three years couldn’t apply for loans from financial institutions registered in New York. The losing side can appeal to the state’s highest court.

The wait has cost the company. It is paying a court-appointed monitor, the former federal judge Barbara Jones, whom Trump lawyers previously accused of charging “exorbitant fees” amounting to more than $2.6 million over 14 months. On top of that, Trump has paid more than $2 million in fees on the bond he secured to guarantee the judgment while he appeals, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The panel hearing the Trump appeal includes four judges appointed by Democratic governors and one Republican appointee, David Friedman, who is regarded as among the most conservative of the court’s 21 members. The court’s presiding justice, Renwick, also on the panel, is viewed as a stalwart liberal who has an institutional interest in seeking consensus and guarding the court’s reputation.”
 
Trump must be really really worried that GQPers are going to lose the mid terms bigly, but how else can a minority party remain in power ?

Trump sees the polls. Trump lives in his own bubble of sycophants, but the national perceptions creep into his subconscious. He's unquestionably seeking to rig the midterms, to institute single party rule, because he sees the wave of negativity cresting in a clear Democratic takeover of the house with real risks in the Senate.

Expect armed fascists in polling parking lots; Sheriff checkpoints between liberal voting communities and polling stations; lawsuits everywhere attacking mail-in voting; further reductions in polling locations; criminal investigations into strong Dem candidates (largely in competitive districts). Expect the Heritage ghouls to have a plan for federalizing elections under the facile justification of "emergency".

The authoritarian, autocratic, one-party (mafia) state is playing out right now. The gqp understands that if they let go of the reins in 2026, it'll be very challenging to get back. Trump's cult is the key to their power grab, and Trump is clearly diminishing. I suspect they'll attempt to fetter democracy, for a generation, this time next year. Project 2025 is happening out in the open. Project 2025 is Orbanism. If it's happening in Hungary, they'll attempt it here (Trump has just thrown heaps of Peronism into their rancid brew).
