Unfuckingbelievable. I'm really starting to lose faith that he'll face any real consequences for any of his actions.

What I continue to not understand is how is anyone still on his side. Not like MAGA cult followers but like people with actual power and those that won’t lose anything from just letting him fail. This is a rhetorical question but it still boggles my mind.

I guess it’s a good example that everyone can see as to how flawed the US justice system is towards the rich and powerful. Like most of us knew it but this is so hard to deny. This would never be the case for some normal person.

For better or worse, his (possible) reelection is too important to several foreign nations and billionaires across the world. That's all you need to know.

Take comfort that it won’t be long before we’re seeing the final headline notating his death. And I can’t wait until the day after that.

It could be a few years yet. It doesn't appear he's in the final stages of dementia. Though who knows, he could easily have a rapid decline.

The INITIAL bond. He still has to eventually pay the whole thing.
