It doesn’t matter to anybody who has already made up their mind to vote/not vote for him.

It matters that justice is done and that the system holds him accountable.

Oh, I agree. I would have loved to see actual enforcement of all of his previous gag orders, especially when he immediately turns around and violates it thoughtlessly. It just seems like he’s always on the fringe of a technicality or simply given a verbal reprimand and the courts are willing to let him off the hook as a result. Every single time.

Nothing could convince me more that we are living in a society with a two-tiered justice system than watching this madness unfold. It does not seem to matter how obviously guilty Trump is, the system was designed to give rich and famous people the benefit of the doubt every step of the way. His evasion of justice and open mockery of the law are infuriating to no end.

Gag orders have narrow definitions so as not to infringe upon 1st amendment speech Trump gets around this by raging at every every person in the periphery of the specific gag order. Can’t talk shit about the jurors or the court clerks? Well judge such-and-such, you didn’t say I couldn’t say anything about you or your daughter! So he spews his vitriol at them and gets away with it. That’s why he got slapped with like 3 increasingly more broad gag orders during the NY fraud trial. Telling Trump to shut his mouth is guaranteed to elicit a reaction.

A toll is a kind of tax. There’s a one-time tax to build the bridge, and then a per-use tax to maintain it.

Yeah, that’s how roads and bridges are built moron.

ONCE AGAIN, Donald Trump is treated with the kid gloves by the courts. Inconceivable. On the day the judgement was to be collected, Trump gets an absolute boon from the heavens above with a 10 day extension and a bond requirement of less than half of the original sum? For what reason? Trump defrauded the American people. He does not deserve special treatment.

If he actually had the cash, he would have paid it to the court before he started racking up tens of thousands of dollars in interest every day.

It’s shocking to think that anybody takes this clown seriously when he tells such obvious lies. Wake the fuck up, conservatives.

I watched the trial, and I saw the footage. I don’t agree with the verdict one bit, but we live in a society and I just have to accept that outcome.

However, I don’t have to change my opinion about the guy just because he was acquitted in court. He went out looking for trouble, found it, and two people died because of it.

Confronting Kyle Rittenhouse? Be careful, no sudden movements. We wouldn’t want him to feel threatened, now would we?

Of course he cries election interference, but just a reminder that Donald Trump could have taken a few years off of campaigning to spend time to properly defend himself in court and then run again when it was over. That was always allowed. But we all know why he insists on running right now despite the mountain of felony indictments against him. He knows he is going to lose every court case because he’s guilty as fuck and wants to use the office of president to wash away these crimes he committed with a self-pardon.

The very fact that he can’t post bond is proof that he is at the end of his rope. Time to pay back all the money you defrauded the people of New York, Crooked Don.

it has a Republican Christian chance of getting into heaven

Off topic, but, I love this as an alternative to “a snowball’s chance in hell”.

But the chances of Hillary declined from >90% to 70% in the last week or so.

Oh yeah, the Comey Probe. Back in the days when having the FBI open an investigation into you was enough to kill your presidential aspirations.

Or at least that was the case for Hillary Clinton and the moderate voter bloc, but somehow Donald Trump is not held to such high standards.

The first sane take in this whole thread. Modern polling is unreliable when the margins for victory in certain elections can come down to literally a single vote in some cases.

Show up and get counted when it matters.

I hope trump wins just to punish biden supporters.

Fuck off, idiot.

“Return to neutral” does not mean neutral gear in this context. If you shift an old Prius into Drive, the shifter knob snaps back to the center of the jig, which is a neutral position for it to be in. It doesn’t stay in the Drive slot while the car is in Drive. You can probably find photos or videos of this out there somewhere.

Edit: omg I can’t believe I forgot about marquees. Do that too.

For as good as the SOTU address was, I agree that that one line where he used the term “illegal” came off very wrong when I heard it. I thought it was very out of character for him to use the same language that Republicans use to dehumanize people. I’m glad he at least recognizes that it was wrong.

People don’t realize that billionaires don’t have their billions sitting in a bank account somewhere like you or I might have our own life savings tucked away in a savings account. That would be foolish of them, obviously, the FDIC won’t insure them past a certain point, so a bank failure could cause them to lose everything.

Every single billionaire is only a billionaire “on paper”. It’s the sum total of all their assets, both liquid and non-liquid (like stocks, but also properties, etc.). They leverage their assets as collateral for a loan, and then use that loan to buy the stuff they want or just use it to make more investments. They leverage debt in a way that we can’t even begin to fathom.

It’s mad, but I can see the conundrum. How do you tax assets that aren’t worth anything until sold? Can you compel them to sell their assets to settle a tax bill? How do you go after rich folk who use loans to circumvent generating income through the sale of their assets without also harming regular people who need to take out loans to buy things like cars and houses?

Rich people have gotten too good at playing the system and we seriously need to look at how we can fix things before it’s too late. Right now, the wealthy have unprecedented control over the government, but it’s still not an oligarchy yet. There’s still time, though. Someone out there has to have a solution.

That’s great and all, but 5 grand won’t even make a dent in the money you’d need to put as a down payment to get a mortgage that you can actually afford to pay.

Build more houses, please. Especially more low and middle income complexes. The government is the only entity that has the ability to do so, because the private sector can’t make money off of low income sales.

This is just paying lip service to the problem, not solving it.

The monkey’s paw curls. Mark Robinson is transported back to the year 1900. Women can’t vote. He is then promptly arrested and imprisoned for the crime of being a colored man in a whites-only establishment.
