    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.

        Or it makes it so someone doesn’t have to pay a full penalty before due process for something that is basically guaranteed to loose on appeal in the long run. Apparently civil rights matter until it’s one of your enemies.

          He had his due process and his day in Court. He was found guilty. Multiple times.

          Everyone has to pay the penalty ahead of a appeal.

          He’ll get that money back if he wins his appeal, which it’s extremely unlikely that he will, but in the meantime the courts must begin collecting it so that the people of New York can be reimbursed for Trumps decades of fraud as soon as the case is closed.
