The order also explicitly limits Trump’s ability to attack witnesses or his co-defendants, including on social media.

Feels a bit ridiculous.

Even low-balling Trump's supposed wealth, that's like setting bond for the average person at $7.50.

Holy shit dude they might as well have set the bond at $130k to coincide with his Stormy Daniels payment

Let's just up it to 2M so we can fund MARTA.

I love MARTA. I also know it has its problems. As a neighbor from a nearby small city, I don't even have a business stop within 5 miles of my house. I love being able to take MARTA all over place in Atlanta with a day pass.

You do know that the state doesn't keep the money unless the defendant skips out on court, right? It's not just money they can use for stuff.

It really does. As in... we know you're not going to be able to resist threatening jurors and will have to forfeit this bond so we'll give you a nice low bond.
