A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

    It’s fucking ridiculous. Anyone else would be in prison by now. This guy just gets to run out the clock because everyone in the justice system is too afraid to look biased.

        I thought this is the exact reason why we keep outfitting SWAT guys with army surplus gear? Isn’t that so we can defend the country against terrorists and other violent criminals? So all that is actually exclusively for murdering unarmed people and throwing flashbang grenades in infants’ cribs, got it.

          Powerful people who run the U.S. made shitty selfish decisions for decades and then are surprised the country caught an illness like Trump.

            Yeah, I agree. But saying that it happened over the course of decades kinda misses the scope of the problem by a bit.

            The ability to have powerful, unaccountable people, in or outside of government that is the problem. It’s allowing these hierarchies to exist in the first place that’s the problem, and is it not the same source of the problem we had with the divine right of kings?

        Well then they shouldn’t be judges; no one said the job was easy.

        So who does and does not have to follow the laws is decided by religious conservatives in the country? Under threat of personal harm?

        The US is a 3rd world country…
