Oh no, not $10,000, he’ll never financially recover from that… oh nevermind some moron just donated more than that to him, he’s fine now.
Seriously, what’s it going to take for them to finally throw him in jail? How many more times does he need to ignore court orders and threaten the safety of jurors, judges, and lawyers before they do something with actual consequences for him? If they’re going to keep fining him they need to add a zero or two on there if they want him to actually stop.
The supreme court is extremely corrupt. What do you expect from every lower court when the top is bought and paid for by the oligarchy of which Trump is a front man stooge. This is all just a game of distractions created to control the conversation and maintain the lack of laws and protections at the abysmal state they have been in since the 1980’s. The entire point of everything the GOP touches is the loopholes that allow 750 billionaires to rob the country blind. Everyone that aligns with this is either bought and paid for, or a convenient idiot. The clown show distractions all have fixed outcomes secured well in advance. That is why nothing ever comes of the constant barrage of radical headlines. The headline is not the purpose; controlling the rhetoric is the only goal.
I’ll just leave this here:
And if he does, his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.
They NEED the case to go through clean
This is nickels to him. Many more nickels that he simply won’t pay.
Put his ass in county on contempt charges. No bail. Let him fucking fester.
He still won’t learn anything, but at least it’ll be harder for him to run his goddamn mouth.
Someone in the thread about his previous $5k fine made a really good point that low but increasing fines may actually be more effective in the long run as there is still the ultimate threat of imprisonment, but the fines should still prove as a deterrent (eventually).
Besides that, straight to jail has the potential to galvanize his crazy supporters into action, whereas the fines are actually punitive and his supporters who believe he’s got oodles of money should be able to shrug it off as no issue.
Basically it seems like the judge could be playing the long game by the books.
Just waiting for Trump to not pay this like all his other bills and watch as the legal system decides to fine him for not paying fines because they don’t have the balls to put him in a cell.
Once again, no real consequences, fascism wins again.
Stop punishing rich people with fines, it doesn’t work. It’s like punishing me with naptime, I was probably gonna be asleep anyway!
