My blood boiled when I heard they lowered the amount but your explanation has calmed me down. We ARE going to get him and then grab him by the ballot box! Vote blue everyone!!
Thanks for this. If I'm understanding correctly, they lowered the bond, but if he loses his appeal, he's on the hook for the original amount, plus the interest. So maybe one step back but hopefully eight leaps forward when he loses his appeal.
I'm so sick of this person. I can't wait for him to just go the eff away. I don't care how it happens. I'm just TIRED.
This and Adam Kinzinger reminding me that Donald is more injured having to admit he didn’t have that $434 million than had he paid them today in cash to prove he really was as rich as he claims.
A victory? Likely a temporary respite. My feelings about the news of the bond reduction this morning. Thank you for spelling it all out.
I have heard that he erupted after leaving the hush money hearing. He is his own worst enemy besides being Public Enemy Number 1.
He is not The Supreme Ruler of the Universe despite thinking he is and trying to hold us all hostage. We are seeing the train wreck unfold in slow motion.
Donald’s cruelty, racism, and fascism energizes his base – injustice energizes ours.
That’s exactly how I feel about his hardened supporters, which I think is about 20% of Republicans now. They want the cruelty, racism, misogyny and I’m the victim behavior. It’s what fuels them.
Sadly I have family members that are all on-board with Trump and we haven’t spoken in years because of it. I just can’t take it from them and I find it hard to look the other way.
Thank you for this newsletter. I am not nearly as hysterical than I was earlier. I am still angry, but as I decided earlier I will knock on doors, drive people to voting booths and continue to contribute to Biden and other Democrats. Vote blue all the way down the line.
I hope in the future anyone charged with the crimes trump has committed they use the same excuse “the trump excuse” he’s a disgrace and is wreaking the rules of law.
I always appreciate the clarity you offer in these crazy times Mary. Each time “-“(45) gets a break/reprieve, it makes my head want to blow off my body. That feeling of frustration is akin to listening to a DJ that never drops the bass. Consequences must come for him.
An Interesting day, to be sure. I'm also livid that your uncle was let off the hook for the full weight of the judgment, the lawyers that you cite have dropped my temperature a bit. The really good news is that he'll be sitting in a courtroom a month from now. If he gets convicted before the election, it's game over for his treacherous ass. But does this make him more dangerous or less dangerous?

Today was a good day for the good guys. Time to stop reacting to headlines…they are usually wrong.

Excellent analysis. Thank you.
Envisioning a prison cell with him in it…

Mary your analysis of your Uncle is spot on.

Thanks for your POV, it's salutary while the media follow each other like baby ducks, quacking about his success.
Thank you for this excellent news! Jury selection to begin in a few weeks for his criminal trial is quite heartening.
Please find the mofo guilty of a crime before the election!!! Oh, *please*.
"Scowl harder, Donald."! :D

I’m holding out hope that eventually his motorcade will consist of a prison bus.

So good to hear this gathered assessment.
