Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

454m was the verdict handed down by the judge. Trump still has the right to appeal, but he either needs to pay the verdict up front right away, or put up a bond to cover it while the appeals process goes forward.
The appeals court lowered the amount of the bond he would need to put up. The current issue is that the document that the bond company sent to the Court is not up to the proper standard, so the court gave Trump more time to remedy that. If he can't, it's possible the bond will get rejected.
We do we reward incompetence.
Like if the bond isnt up to snuff, why can't Letitia's lawyers write it for them? Oh you fucked it up, here, we don't reward incompetence, well let your persecution do it. Fuck you and your stupid games.
To be fair, it absolutely works the other way around. In countless towns and cities the upwardly clambering assistant DAs are screwing over people who have no money, piling on twenty, thirty charges for the same act to score points they plan to cash in for a bigger job.
Every day. Right now, in fact. Prison reform is critical, but the Justice system itself could use some patching up from countless decades of conservative fuckery.
Don’t forget, he’s also on the hook for $110K per day in interest, starting from the judgement day, and I don’t think she’ll let him dodge a nickle of it.
You go, girl!
