instead of going nuts at the appellate court for reducing the bond, the state of New York gets $175 million dollars right now..and the MSM can now obsess over Trump's dirty Depends..

the way I see it is this...the Trump brand is garbage...his billionaire/real estate genius persona is a sham...he's a punchline on Wall Street and in the inner sanctum of the uber-rich...reputable bond underwriters have slammed their doors in his face, he's desperate for cash and some of his go-to taps have dried up, the RNC is nearly bust/rallies canceled...and Barbara Jones, a retired judge and former organized crime prosecutor, is managing the Trump Organization...

so what if Trump's bond was reduced...so what if he has ten more days to scrounge a bond...he's a loser...ok, I'll take it...






I'm still surprised mainly due to the makeup of the court. No MAGA or even repug judges on the decision. jimfields33 Mar 2024 #1
Perhaps they were just following the law and precedent MichMan Mar 2024 #14
