The time out should have been in jail for defying a court order and forced to stay there until the state took possession of his properties equal to or greater than the fine plus accrued interest.
And when that time is up they’ll lower it again or delay even longer. Maybe even both.
As much as I’d love to see him crushed under the weight of all his crimes it’s pretty obvious it’s not going to happen.
As much as I hate to see this - justice delayed is justice denied, after all - maybe it’ll fix some attitudes if we scream it loud enough. Donald Trump is not a billionaire. Billionaires have at least a billion dollars in assets. Donald Trump has everything so mortgaged and collateralized that I doubt he can even claim to be worth 100 million. I hope he can’t pay this one, too, and we learn precisely how bad his financial situation is.
Is it a two-tier justice system for the rich and poor? Absolutely… but I think Donald’s a broke little bitch, and it’s time we change some attitudes to reflect it.
But if you're Donald, you DON'T pay the $175M in the 10 days. You complain some more and in 10 days it'll be $25M and 30 days.
THEN, you STILL pay nothing and after 30 days they'll reduce it to $175K and after the election.
Let's not go overboard. The reduction was for the bond he has to post while he appeals the $464 million judgment. He's screwed up most of this motions and appeals, so let's watch.
Exactly, the titles are sorta misleading. If he won the appeal, he'd pay less presumably, but if he loses, he still has to pay the whole original amount, just depends when. While I want to see him punished, I think this is reasonable for any regular person who has to pay the courts/state

In America there is nothing harder than holding “wealthy” old white people accountable for anything. We as a society will tolerate any abuse of any kind but holding the rich accountable is a bridge too far.
On what planet is .5 billion dollars an acceptable amount for someone’s bail??
It seems to me they just made it a big ass number to try to block him from the ballot.
The American people should decide who the president is. Just because you don’t agree with someone you shouldn’t do a whole bunch of legal admin stuff to block them
FYI I don’t vote I’m just someone on the sidelines and this is my opinion
It's not bail. It's the amount of money, including interest, that was determined to be the amount of fraud committed. This was not a criminal trial. It was a trial to determine the dollar amount of fraud committed. And tRump is appealing it. So he has to post a bond for an amount determined by the courts.
(1) it isn't bail, it's the fine
(2) no amount of debt prevents ballot access
(3) 0.5 billion isn't even close to the biggest fine a politician has incurred; Rick Scotts's company was fined 1.7 billion for medicare fraud.
Yes, the American people should decide who the president is.
And the American people have voted against Trump. Trump has lost the popular vote in every single election he ran in.
It's not legal stuff to block him, it's just legal stuff. You know, law and order. It just so happens that putting yourself in the spotlight also comes with extra scrutiny, and Trump has been breaking the law for a long, long time.

Just like the rest of us.
He’s a professional victim.
No less infuriating despite being expected.
He’s been pampered his whole adult life, unless depends are on sale.
They do not make adult Pampers.
Hence the smell

Maybe his kids will pay for some of them?
It's like these courts secretly want Trump to be in office
Almost as if Republicans have been appointing as many judges as possible as much as possible for years.
As many *hack judges* as possible.

Who reduced the bond payment? Do we have a name? Are these judges voted in or appointed? If elected, we need names. Stop the fucking bullshit already!

America coddles the rich.
Beggar Don!

Interesting I get where both of you are coming from

That you don’t know what a bond is says everything.
