Emmy,

It’s almost like the deep state is on his side

Filthmontane,

Deep state = billionaires with undeniable bribe money.

"Hmm, now which would be more advantageous to my position as someone who unfairly exploits the labour of the masses to amass himself literally billions of times more wealth than said exploited masses; a bankrupt fraudster rapist in legal trouble or someone who isn’t that? "

Its fucking crazy the US sort of considers itself a bastion of democracy while not even having direct presidential elections.

OccamsRazer,

Or they are over selling how much trouble he is in. Or some combination thereof.

Honytawk,

So even that was a projection?

Next it turns out he is really a lizard and has space lasers.

Madison420,

He still has to pay it. He’s been offered a bond which is typical and a small percentage of the total owed paid immediately to prevent further punitive action.

There’s literally an industry for it (bail bonds) though arguably there shouldn’t be.

MutilationWave,

Bail bonds are an entirely different thing from appeal bonds.

Madison420,

Same basic system, pay small for now lose appeal pay all.

And I’m case you didn’t know there’s an industry around “court bonds” as well.

We’ll see the year of the Linux desktop before seeing justice for him.

RagingRobot,

Oh good I hear that’s this year!!!

Overshoot2648,

Good thing Wayland is finally displacing X11, open source Nvidia drivers are actually getting good, the Cosmic desktop is coming, and usershare is increasing then.

Yeap.

Jollyllama,

Actually it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Zo0,

Oh really?!

x0x7,

He hasn’t committed a crime. If he has why are there multiple real estate developers in NY willing to admit in public “I do that same crime every day if that’s a crime.”

trolololol,

Everyone commits a crime, then Pikachu face when gets convicted

nomous,

Turns out overvaluing properties for loans and then undervaluing them come tax time is a crime. Who else admitted to doing that?

aesthelete,

“Who amongst us hasn’t accidentally killed a hooker and rolled her up in our hotel carpet and then placed it in our trunk and later that night thrown the body in the river? If that’s a crime we’re all guilty!”

Lightor,

He was fond guilty and convicted… What do you mean he hasn’t committed a crime.

I swear his mindset has infected people so bad that they not only just belive what he says, they ignore basic facts and reality.

jkrtn,

Which developers have said this in public?

Muehe,

Don’t know about NY or multiple or if he even is a “real estate developer”, but Jon Stewart made fun of a guy called Kevin O’Leary for saying so on CNN recently: youtu.be/EDMinX6t1Zk?t=577

Vex_Detrause,

Finding a group of people willing to do/does the same action doesn’t make it “not a crime.”

this_1_is_mine,

It is a crime. Its fraud. Just because you and all your friends are jumping off a bridge doesn’t make it not stupid. Just like how if you and everyone you know does the same fraud. Its still fraud and all of you should face the consequences. Its white collar crime. Just because its “Victim less” does not make it non serious. If your willing to throw the book at petty thieft then you should be doing the same to anyone found emptying coffers under false guise.

“This is the year guys! This is the year when we put a US President in jail!”

winner becomes president

loser does 6 months house arrest

The winner is the 1%.

The loser is the working class.

Always has been.

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

    BruceTwarzen,

    Do they also cut the bond on normal people because they don't want to pay?

    jkrtn,

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

    supersquirrel,

    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.

    Madison420,

    Yes, if you argue it successfully.

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

    chiliedogg,

    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.

    x0x7,

    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.

    chiliedogg,

    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.

    Furbag,

    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.

    root_beer,

    Only eight months left for him to win the election and he pardons himself from everything

    Bakkoda,

    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.

    Uniparty chugging along as usual

    AVincentInSpace,

    what does this even mean

    Zuberi,
    @Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Genuine question? The uniparty is a system of governance where you trick the 99% into thinking they only have 2 options and you switch between the two depending on the necessity.

    Trump won’t pay a dime, Biden will continue to genocide, and the leftists will vote for a socialist candidate instead, which will most likely leave you with the dumbass orange-fuhrer.

    The uniparty doesn’t really see this as a problem, because they implement the CBDC either way.

    Anticorp,

    I mean, did you ever really expect that he would pay it? If so, stop hitting yourself. He’s never going to face any real consequences. Ever.

    AVincentInSpace,

    i dunno, it’s just that when he successfully got arrested it gave me hope

    Anticorp,

    I’m glad someone still has hope. Keep that fire burning.

    IzzyJ,

    Trepan me

    Super easy barely an inconvenience

    Trump: I’ll need you to get aaa-all the way off of my back about this.
    Judge: Oh, okay, lemme get off of that freakin’ dorsal region.

    ErilElidor,

    A rigged justice system is TIGHT!
