But, he didn’t post a bond, so he still owes the court.

    He ain’t paying shit if he’s president, he will conduct himself like a little Putin / Kim Jong Un and nobody will be able to arrest or stop him. He’ll retaliate through every legal or illegal means available to prevent any enforcement of such a verdict.

    He cannot be allowed to become President. He will destroy the rule of law in this country.

      Considering his freedom after a widely televised insurrection, kinda looks like “rule of law” has already been destroyed in your country 🧐

        It definitely has. What we’ve seen in response with the various prosecutions since then certainly feel more like a piddly attempt to scrape back some semblance of dignity for the law, rather than a true “victory of our democratic systems.” I think a more accurate statement would be that he’s squash any remaining embers of real justice and order and make sure they stay squashed.

        It never really existed for the rich and powerful. Just for the peasants.

        The only time you see the rule of law apply to the rich and powerful is when they harm other rich and powerful people.

      The people Who Are Supposed To Know Better need to figure out what they’re going to do when that happens because if this demented rapist is set to lie about defending The Constitution for a second time well, then he thinks he’s a king . . . And we don’t play that. Failure by the FBI, failure by the DCI, failure by the DoJ - we live in this country to chew gum and not have a king. And we’re about out of gum.

      Merrick! Wake up! Phone’s ringing, Dude.
