Appeals Court Bails Trump Out of Having to Post Massive Fraud Bond (www.rollingstone.com)

Donald Trump was supposed to have to post a $464 million bond by Monday or else the state of New York could begin collecting on the massive civil fraud judgment leveled against him earlier this year. An appeals court bailed him out, blocking collection of the judgment and giving the former president 10 days to post a drastically...

Shit. Shit. Shit shit shit. I knew some asshole stunt like this would happen. I said it at the very beginning - trump will never pay for any of the despicable things he's done, and he'll never ever set foot in prison.

I do not know what sort of strings he has attached to other people's spines, I do not know what sort of tremendous fear they have of him or what strange powers he must have - but I knew, I KNEW some horseshit like this would come along and fuck up the whole fucking process.

THe judicial system in the U.S. is an utter piece of total crap.

tygerprints,

I think most of that is true, (born in 1959 myself), but I'm not remembering them being such happy days. Maybe less well informed days would be a better way to put it; before we had instant news of every bad thing happening, we lived in a kind of blissful ignorance.

Everyone on earth is racist, make no mistake. It's hardwired into our brains to see other certain groups of people as lesser or less deserving. Maybe it's a holdover from primitive times, we're not that far out from having been cave-people, maybe being tribal was a way of protecting ourselves. At any rate, everyone has some racism and/or phobia about others inside themselves.

tygerprints,

Yeah it's always the same. In Utah this past week, the passed a law to disallow trans people from using public bathrooms. I mean,t here's probably TWO trans people in the whole state. Now, one of the women on our Board of Education is in trouble for harrassing a student over possibly being trans (the student isn't trans, she just thought she might be).

What the FUCK is the problem? I've never seen trans people be a threat to ANYBODY ANYWHERE - yet, white moronic privileged idiots are threatening all of us with blocking all of our basic rights to exist. It seems to me the real threat to humanity is wherever bigoted white people gather together.

tygerprints,

So he's morally bankrupt, misogynistic, full of bluster, doesn't know shit about finances, and has no ethics. Sounds like he's perfect for the Senate.

Clean cut my ass. Anyone who thinks this shithead is fit for political office should be imprisoned as a lunatic.

tygerprints,

Per the bible, we aren't really even allowed to be human beings and are all born wretches full of original sin. If that's true than I'd rather have the free ice cream and body tattoos and promiscuity while I'm going to hell.

tygerprints,

I'd love to go to that kind of party, where rainbow cake is served along with a slice of anthropological oration. But even though I'm gay (and therefore supposed to accept every odd idea that comes along, apparently), I'm not sure gender is a "social construct" alone. There are so many other things that can play into it including hormones and body image and psychological stuff - yet I still feel it was so much easier and breezier when we could just call ourselves men or women or he or she. *(not that I'm against people calling themselves whatever else they want).

tygerprints,

They're lobsters, they're not gonna drown if the Titanic goes down they'll probably be the only actual survivors. With rubber bands around their claws, so - they're pretty doomed either way.

tygerprints,

If that doesn't merit the terms "murderous" and "brutal," what in hell does??? I do agree that both terms are a bit too lenient and lighthearted for what they are actually doing. But, I'm sure the next generation of Palestinians won't be already amassing arms in anticipation of a bloody retaliation necessitating further non-"murderous" responses from Israel in the future. Right?

tygerprints,

You've never heard the expression, "how now, brown cow?" It used to be something people said all the time, it's just a silly phrase meaning "how's everything going." He's just playing around with the phrase "how now brown cow."

tygerprints,

In Utah, our legislature is so committed to rejecting the will of large government and their attempts to control what happens. And yet, the Utah legislature itself controls every single thing that happens in this state, and so long as everyone agrees with their ultra-conservative point of view, then everything is great in their view of things. So in the end, we end up being slaves to THEIR beliefs anyway, and the victim of their own form of big government interfering in everything in our lives here all the time.

tygerprints,

The last two steps are the easiest. And the most fun. And I know people think, if you eat ass you'll get some disease and get sick. Well I'm an old "apple polisher", and a case could be made that I'm a sick person (!) but, I have never had any problems from it. In fact in some ways, on some people, it's probably the cleanest part of the body. I have not ever experienced anything unpleasant about going down "down there."

tygerprints,

But this can't be true. Israel is a shining beacon of innocence in all this, they haven't fired a single shot in this whole war, according to what the U.S. government wants us to believe. Oh my no, somehow all those Palestinian kids got their brains splattered all over the pavement because of errant "Hamas missiles." Oh yeah israelites are just wonderful folks who certainly have never raised a finger in violence to anybody, ever.

tygerprints,

Legally blind is not the same thing as being totally blind. My brother is "legally blind" but he can see well enough to read and drive a car. Still you have to wonder why the court didn't take this into consideration at the time - what was motivating the judge to overlook this fact and allow this man to be incarcerated on the basis of flawed eyewitness testimony? Someone had this court's short hairs in their grips.

tygerprints,

Putting "Don't" on it only makes me want to do it even harder. Maybe put the horn up on a higher shelf with the label, "CAN'T."

tygerprints,

My lifetime ban from Reddit (which resulted from saying that we need a more progressive political candidates in our country) was a badge of honor, proving my opinions to be correct and undigestible to fascists. So I had a medallion engraved with my date of expulsion which I keep in a place of honor over my fireplace.

tygerprints,

That's a fact of life here in Utah. Polls have shown most Utahns believe they are justified hitting or killing someone with their car, if that person is in the road (even in a crosswalk) and happens to impede their car. They truly believe this. Of course page one of our driving handbooks states "no matter the situation, pedestrians always have right of way over oncoming cars." This should be obvious to even the lowest grade moron, but I guess that explains why it's not obvious to Utahns - they get most of their information from supermarket tabloids and Fox news.

tygerprints,

I was too distracted by my complete boredom in church to pay any attention to anything. If only a light fixture could have spared me the agony of sitting there in that horrible place. I'm glad I left that religious malarky behind in my childhood and grew up to become an atheist.

tygerprints,

Not all the media is giving him a "free pass." I've read several articles about him going full nutjob and totally losing it. Of course a person only has to hear him speak once to know he's off his rocker - and we've had several years of his s#it being shoveled in our direction.

tygerprints,

Good to know. Shit, shit shit, shit! Hey you're right. This - this changes the whole game for me!

tygerprints,

I've been radicalized against HP for a decade now. I bought an HP printer with the guarantee of a sizeable rebate. Of course, the rebate never showed up and every time I called about it, the customer service person would read their script, "Oh we sent that out just a few days ago should be arriving soon." Uh huh. Here it is 15 years later, no rebate check and I'm sure they never intended to send one at all. I'm not a fan of HP at all.

tygerprints,

It's bad enough living in Utah where you're expected to "live the word of the Covenant" every day or be damned. People showing up at our doors to ask what we're looking at online to make sure we're living the word of Jesus. Jesus! For Christ's sake, what do I care about jesus!!!! Can you imagine anything more horrible than having to be monitored by someone else who thinks you're not up to the "lord's" standards?!!?!

To HELL with that nonsense. It's one reason I'm not just non-religious but actively anti-Mormon. Oh sure these mormon assholes think they're made of sunshine and Jesus' farts, but in reality they're just as sleazy, bent, evil, contemptible, and manipulative as anyone else. Moreso in fact. People are not "saints." They aren't supposed to be. And no well-adjusted mentally healthy person would ever WANT to be. So to hell with this monitoring each other bullshit.

tygerprints,

Ain't that the truth. Not to mention the Israeli children gutted and beheaded by Hamas back on Oct 7th. Our tax dollars didn't pay for that, but they sure are going toward ensuring more kids and regular civilians are turned into worm food for some nonsensical war over a strip of land neither side really wants to be stuck with.

tygerprints,

Love it. It's true - imagine all the time we spend on these social media sites that we could use for better purposes. Writing books, drawing, setting things on fire. All the wasted potential!

tygerprints,

Nigeria has been screwed over by unstable religious zealots inculcating their heads with pernicious misinformed bullcrap for decades. This is the primary example I use when explaining why I equate missionary work with slavery and abuse in every possible way. It's far more corrupt and perverse to brainwash ignorant people into sick and unjustifiable bigotry against other better human beings than it is to perform any other act of malicious intent possible. Nigeria has been lead into the deepest darkness of all - ignorance and hate and the pernicious filth of bigotry. And that's why they totally fail as a nation.

tygerprints,

Thank God. Let's hope he doesn't win public office. The world can't survive any more fascist right wing nuts in office.
