Trump is prepared to post $100 million bond but not the full $454 million judgment, lawyers say

  • Trump acting like he's making another business deal rather than finally meeting up with external reality.

  • That might work, if there are causes for federal charges. If she was still in school the feds might be able to have some angle on it. But federal charges for sexual assault are far from being "standard". More common is bringing a civil case for monetary liability including punitive damages. IANAL so I don't know whether any of this is possible in this situation.

  • Last paragraph of the article:

    Clinton cannot be tried again for the same crime under the Fifth Amendment. A motion to expunge Clinton’s record was denied in February 2023.

  • Doesn't let the rapist, Drew Clinton, get tried again though, due to US Constitution protection against double jeopardy.

    • Medicare's priciest drugs may get cheaper as feds start negotiations. Big Pharma objects.

  • Typical bought-Congress bill that sounds better in the headlines than it actually is.

    Passed last year 2022 but doesn't take effect until 4 years later, 2026. And only for just 10 drugs that year. Only 30 more total for 2026 to 2027. And these negotiated price drugs cannot be newer drugs - they are only negotiable if they've been marketed 9 whole years first without any generic competition.

    Yeah, the already-effective $35 insulin cap, and the 2025 $2000 max out-of-pocket are legit improvements for USA but still are laughably bad compared to most of the developed world and an increasing amount of the highly developing world.

    This bill was just enough to make the Democrats (for whom I vote, given the alternative), AARP, and other rich players crow about how much good they've done in this issue, fundraise on it, ignore fixing it further, and leave us seniors in a still-unaffordable situation. Just slightly less unaffordable.

    • Is there a CC, Debit, or other card I can use that's a little nicer to small businesses?

    跳过

  • A Visa or MasterCard that has no rewards of any kind: No cashback, no "miles", not even donations to charities as the "reward".Anything that has any kind of rewards usually costs the businesses accepting it a higher "swipe fee" taken out of what they receive.

    That's not always true but it's very common with most merchant accounts.

  • He may well be one of the "humanized" Klingons from the Augment virus, who is using prostheses to look like uninfected Klingons. Or who had less-than-successful plastic surgery for the same reason. But didn't yet modify the human style teeth.

    At this point in the timeline there's probably a mix of original ridged Klingons, TOS-type humanized Klingons, surgically and prostheses-restored Klingons, and overreacted-gene-therapy blue/grey double-nostrilled Discovery-style Klingons running around. Probably on separate ships so they don't have to look at or be looked at by other style Klingons who consider each other dishonored.
