all while writing this, I kept checking my phone notifications to make sure Donny hadn't filed a bond and fucked up my post. I still half-expect that lucky fuck to manage it at the last minute, because we live in the shittiest possible timeline

I was once fifteen minutes late to court for a $25 ticket and the judge made me pay a $250 bond to stay out of jail on the spot. And that was when $250 was a week's wages, that is if you had a good job. All a these judges and DAs are pro MAGAT. They give MAGATs break after break after break after break.

You notice, these days if you see an American flag flying, the Trump flag is right there with it. I find this VERY offensive.

Which is exactly why I think we should ALL start flying our flags again - high & proud. It's really lame on our part that we've essentially allowed trumpists to co-opt OUR flag. Our flag, which our forefathers fought & died for. We can't allow that slimy orange SOB's minions to assume it's their flag. It's not. And we need to start flying it again, high and proud. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yes. Yes it does.

But see, that's what they want. We simply cannot give in & let trumpists continue to denigrate the stars & strips that are an iconic symbol of our hard fought for democracy. I hope you'll reconsider. I know you're not alone - my daughter thinks as you do - but I'm trying hard to convince her otherwise too. We need to be able to proudly hang our flags, & the only way to do that is to just do it.

The American flag doesn’t bow to any power on Earth ! 🌍 The flag is not dirty ,it’s being soiled by traitors,that use it as a propaganda weapon in their attempts to destroy America! Fly it in defense of our country and in defiance of the traitors who would see it defiled and disgraced 🇺🇸 Never lower or bow our flag to the likes of Trump and his Nazi regime!

The appeals court decided that Trump had a tough life and shouldn’t have to pay his full bond amount so they lowered it to one 75 million because that was more in the range Donny Brokohantas could afford since a lot of the money he stole from banks, and the state of New York has already been squandered on other failing Trump Enterprises

He just got the bond greatly reduced, but I’m okay with that. He’s still going to lose his appeal, he has a monitor in place so he can’t hide any of his assets (whatever those may actually really be) and it gives Tish more time to get liens in place for whatever there actually is. Oh and by the way, did you see his new moniker? It’s perfect.

FYI have you seen the reporting on the Kushner rental properties? The story was written up in the NYT Sunday Magazine, perhaps around 2017-18. There were YouTube posting of real vermin, too. Mice running around a baby crib-yikes. Your comment made me think of how they ran those properties, criminally I would say; mold, unusable bathrooms and the worst, they took people to court for lease breaking when they most often didn't, had moved out and of course, didn't have a copy of the lease anymore. And why? Because they were after $3000 to $5000 "judgments"in small claims court, because they were SO broke. Broke from bad investments like building, 666 5th Ave. that almost brought them down. But no worries now, they got "right" with $2B from the Saudis.

Trumps or the Kushners are just criminally sociopathic and deserves no breaks at all.

When Rona asked about her Jan. 6 comment (taken from HRC post) “legitimate political discourse,” she shrugged it off as taking one for the team. My question, dear Rona, whose team? Certainly not the one I swore an oath. In any case, Rona may have a contract; I have a remote and will switch channels.

Regarding Trump’s “babies,” it is somewhat of a Freudian slip. His properties are about the only thing he truly loves in this world apart from his cosmic ego.

So, how would anyone want to hear from a Trump RNC hack? That is a mystery unless the Republicans in the executive level at NBCthink they could sneak a another one by.
