Wall Street Journal complains about workers using their sick days | Boing Boing

"Just to be clear: the idea that sick days somehow impose a financial burden of the company is a blatant lie of criminal proportions.

'We can start collecting right now': E. Jean Carroll attorney puts Trump on notice on CNN - Raw Story

""He has to post a bond, which is called an appellate bond, which requires him to put down 20 percent or he has to deposit, which is what he did for the first verdict, the entire amount with the court."

"So $83 million plus 9 percent, so call it $89 million," she added. "If he can't do either of those then we can start collecting right now and we will for sure.""

"Trump should be in custody," he added."
