hard to overstate the extent spineless liberal prosecutors and judges cutting Trump break after break have validated his campaign message that the entire system is rotten and so his corruption doesn't matter

It’s also striking that most of the prosecutors to hold Trump to account have been POC. Very strong “we didn’t get the memo about different tiers of justice” energy. Almost everyone else acts like the social fabric of the nation will fray if a high end criminal is held to account

Trump's fundamental complaint that there is a two-tiered system of justice is correct, his followers just simply refuse to see which tier Trump has been in for his entire life

I think We under estimate how much trumps fans violence likely weighs on them. (Not that this will protect them).

This is what happens. Lucy and the damn football again and again. Every time he is given a breather, his psychotic hordes get busy. If Alvin Bragg proves the business record fraud, and Merchan doesn't put him in prison, then all we have is this \_(ツ)_/¯ because then what's the point of all of it.

one of the repeated problems i have talking politics offline is the prevalence of the argument, "trump is just doing in the open what they do in private" it's hard to counter because it's right in like 20 cases and wrong in 10,000 and the 10,000 times nobody does anything makes it seem reversed

If I'm Trump, I immediately file a motion that today's sudden change in the amount and deadline proves the entire thing is arbitrary and baseless, and demand they throw the whole thing out. I think he'd be correct that none of this is based on set rules or laws anymore.

It’s cool how inconvenience is an excuse for not paying up when your rich. I’m sure Trump will deeply appreciate this break and not spin it as the penality being BS in the first place 🙄

It’s possible that there are good legal reasons for cutting the bond amount, but tell us what they are! Issuing this sort of order leaves people to fill in the blanks.

You're really going to pretend this case isn't extremely unusual? Nothing about him is normal, nothing. Our legal system is messed up yes, but this is Not the usual, and it's not directly the system's fault. It's because Trump himself stacked the courts for this exact purpose.

The bond is not necessarily meant to be punitive. They would have demanded immediate payment if so. The bullshit is that Trump has inflated and deflated the values of his assets for decades of fraudulent federal borrowing and tax evasion. Doing it here is ridiculous.
