On God that bruh’s bussy’s straight bussin’ fr fr.

And just to clarify, it is my understanding that “pretty bussin’ bruh” is quite different than “pretty bussy, bruh”. Correct?

It’s worth giving the judge’s letter a read. He had this distributed to all the people that wrote in on the defendant’s behalf, since many people thought he was a good person and did nothing wrong. The judge set the record straight: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.227212/gov.uscourts.dcd.227212.272.0.pdf

Glad to see it. I’m curious as to what that means practically. Does the court have the ability to force him to pay or can he just drag his feet indefinitely?

Jesus, that good air / bad air quote was hard to read. If I’m following him, and I might have too many braincells to do this correctly, he’s arguing that we shouldn’t have clean air because then someone else might benefit from our clean air? So we should just pollute the shit out of our air, because then at least the Chinese won’t have a shot at getting any of our sweet, sweet clean air?

That’s like saying you’re not going to put indoor plumbing in your house, because your neighbor might not put indoor plumbing in their house. And if they’re going to live up to their necks in shit, you’ll be god-damned if you’re not gonna live neck-deep in your own shit too! Otherwise, if you weren’t absolutely drowning in your own shit, there’s a chance that you might catch a whiff of your neighbor’s shit, and ain’t no way are you gonna let that happen.

Their problem is that they’ve been making abortion a wedge issue for so long, that it’s now impossible for them to back down. They’ve been catering to the religious right, pushing a message that life begins at conception and any form of abortion (and some birth control) is literally the same as murdering babies. And their base ate that shit up.

Now they’re trying to backtrack, which leads to their hilarious message of basically “look, we’re going to have to kill a few babies to get into power, because power is more important.” Good luck trying to sell that.

Lmao, Trump got fined $10,000 on the spot for violating his gag order about shit talking the court staff. A small slap on the wrist, but I love the immediate consequence.

We already knew he was a Republican.

Using a bail bondsman is the exact opposite of spending the bare minimum. It’s basically the equivalent of taking out a payday loan at a check cashing store.

Dude, you are amazing. I was bouncing back and forth between 3 Lemmy apps, but you just sealed the deal with Sync for me. Thanks!

Eeeeewwwwwwww

Jesus Christ that lineup looks like a collection of old folks dressed up after Sunday church about to make some IHOP waitress’s last few hours of her shift a literal hell on Earth.

And apparently he’s listed as 6’3" weighing 215 lbs. That is not the face of a 215 lb person over 6 feet.

Edit:

Lmao his comb over hair must be like a foot long. I would pay good money to see him caught in a heavy downpour.

Lemmy doesn’t have the equivalent of reddit gold, but if any comment ever deserved it, it is this one. What a fucking ghoul.

That’s where I grabbed my screenshot from and looks like it’s still there, but a few down from the top now.

Good to know, thanks!

Yeah normally you get the full amount of bail back from the court. The 10% fee is what a bondsman charges as interest / risk of your fleeing.

To expand on why this isn’t a good look - bail bondsmen typically charge a non-refundable 10% of bail. So if you’re a former mayor who shit on your own legacy by trying to overthrow the government and your bail is set at $150,000 that means you’re paying a bail bondsman $15,000 that you won’t get back ever. That $15,000 is a fee that they apply in case they need to hire a bounty hunter to drag your delinquent ass to court.

A person usually tries pretty hard to raise bail without paying a bondsman because they don’t want to lose that 10%. So this is basically the equivalent of Giuliani going to a Payday Loans lender to get an advance on his paycheck at a predatory rate.

Afterward, he told reporters, “I talked to the President [Trump] today. I wish him well.”

Isn’t that against the terms set by the judge for Trump not to talk to con-conspirators?

Edit: The typo stays, since it fits.
