        People forget that it’s the rich who create the laws. It’s why tenant laws are so weak in the US.

      They are taking so long because they wanna squash his chances for an appeal. They are trying to leave his lawyers without any wiggle room, so that when they appeal, it’s just a formality and no substance.

      And for now, they have done a pretty good job keeping the case waterproof.

    It’s not backed by actual money. It’s practically an “IOU” bond. It would be ridiculous if any judge accepted it.

      I do hope he goes to jail this week.

      I’ve been disappointed so far so it won’t hurt too much when it doesn’t happen.

        That would be most excellent. His bond is crap, maybe maybe maybe the supremes will rule his immunity claims are total nonsense, opening of the Stormy Daniel’s case, the contempt hearing. Am I missing anything? Not a good week for orange crush. Where’s my popcorn?

      I have been let down so many times before. I’m not willing to get my hopes up. They’re really trying to get up, but I’m fighting them down.

      At least, if/when something does happen, I can be pleasantly surprised instead of infuriatingly shocked.

        I’m trying to keep my spirits up, as well. At this time we could all use a bit of hope after all the damage that has been inflicted.

    Hahahaha even the bond is a fraud. Is there anything legitimate about Donald Trump? Is everything a fraud?
