Yeah, but $200,000 for Trump feels like a joke. It should be more in line with his income to be meaningful.

I hope he doesn't. He'll bury himself into a mountain of new trouble. But even he is not that stupid.
Or maybe he'll flee to Russia. Which is fine for me too, let him expose himself as a traitor and eliminate the possibility of holding office again.
They wouldn't stop him. More than Half of them would probably help him do what he wants to do
I'm curious what makes you think he's not that stupid.
I don't think we're up to the Russian vacation yet, not until we get closer to sentencing.
Careful he might be the first president working remotely. From russia.
Does it feel like the news is all opinion pieces these days? All I see is "someone said something on Twitter" lately.
This is the politics community, not news, so opinion pieces are fair game.
But yeah, even so, I hate how even "news" articles are "elon posted something on twitter".
The steep decline in money available to publishers means that they’re going to cut reporting in favor of paying an intern to copy and paste off of twitter. You end up with twenty different publications summarizing the same AP article with one paragraph, the. a dozen hot takes on twitter by people you’ve never heard of.
And we’re reaching the point where they don’t even need the intern to do it.
What? You don’t want to hear about the latest thing Elon Musk said/did on/with Twitter?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The $200,000 bond approved for Donald Trump in the Georgia election interference case is significant as it suggests the former president "cannot be trusted" to surrender to authorities for processing, according to a legal expert.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee approved the amount for the former president on Monday, the first time Trump has been asked to post bond in any of the four criminal cases he is involved in.
Discussing the bond arrangement, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman said that while the amount of money is not an issue for the former president, it is noteworthy that Judge McAfee should take steps to ensure that Trump does hand himself in.
But the bigger provision is the anti tampering condition—he can't do anything to intimidate any co-deft or witness or otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," Litman posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The former president is not allowed to communicate with witnesses or any of the 18 other co-defendants in the case, which includes his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and his ex-personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, except through his lawyers.
Trump was previously accused of witness intimidation via his Truth Social posts by legal experts after suggesting that former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan shouldn't testify to a grand jury just prior to the Fulton County indictment being announced.
The original article contains 596 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
More like: Trump violates bond condition, new bond set, Trump appeals new bond saying that conditions violate his free speech, all lawyers working for him ask for a delay in other trials because of this appeal.
They shouldn't have even set one. It's just gonna make his base donate.
Trump still has his passport. He is flying out to Saudi Arabia or israel where the US can't touch him.
You might need to update your list of countries outside of the US' sphere of influence - those are both close allies. :)
Yes and no
Close allies? Yes
Able and willing to tell the US to fuck off if they feel like it? Also yes.
Both also have a lot of power/sway over the US.
When's he going to do something that allows the cops to just shoot him?
Wrong color.
havent you heard orange is the new black.
when he turns black
"... something of an indignity that he has to post something"
LAWL.. that a former PRESIDENT has to post BOND because he's considered at risk of fleeing the REPUBLIC.. yeah, something of an indignity.. that's exactly what Washington would have said..
on racketeering charges no less.. while still in office.. against a state..
if you trusted him your head is on upside down AND backwards.. get a friend or a priest to knock it off for you, so you can put it back on straight..
Meh. Random lawyer saying things.
Then again, this is trump and you know he's dumb as a rock and always ready to put up a show.
Then again, please please don't show up. I want to watch a SWAT team kick in his door and drag him out screaming "I thought this was America! MAGAFLGHH" and then a cop puts a knee in his neck. I know, will never happen, bit wouldn't that be fun for a change
He will just to be a martyr and bask in it.
Plus the mug shot will be plastered all over his campaign as a badge of pride and people will buy tons of merch with it.
Going to try and make more trump nft's?
I mean, I kinda hope for a Dog - Trump Showdown
