      The source is here hasn’t paid yet. Normally i would dismiss that as a piss poor argument but until i see a headline saying he paid anything, I’m sticking to that. His legacy is literally not paying. Bills, consequences, fines ,Congressionally approved funds… you name it.

      Yeah I thought it was about the bond being cut not the actual penalty, or did is miss(understand) something?

          If it is a poor then New York will hold them without trial for three years on suspicion of stealing a backpack.

            The NYPD is awful, New York spent millions of dollars funding police to stop turn stile jumpers on the NYC metro…which was costing the metro a mere fraction of what the NYPD spent to try to stop it.

            This is what success looks like in a neoliberal hellscape where people pretend to be progressive while letting conservatives move the goalposts wherever the hell they want.

          Yes, if you argue it successfully.

          The people mad about this are almost certainly ignorant of the legal system.

        This allows him to keep it dragging it out in the courts for years without having to pay the full penalty.

        And he only really needs 6 months for the Russian and Saudi money to buy out his shares of Truth Social stock.
