      Bail was literally devised as a means to keep wealthy people out of prison while putting undo burden on working class people charged with the same crime. 100,000 dollars isn’t realistic for most people to have available, but wealthy criminals can toss that out like cab fare

        Yes, there are issues with the bail system. Although, it’s not usually 200k.

        But that’s not the point. The point is that he’s going through the process, and we shouldn’t just jail political figures without due process. It’s crazy to me how many people can’t understand that.

              I think it’s corrupt justice departments keeping him eligible for higher office.

                  The “Constitution” is no fucking excuse. All kinds of laws and rulings have nothing to do with the fucking Constitution. That is now only the kast refuge for assholes and losers. And if anything, the Constitution says he is guilty of High Treason. And this SCOTUS is no longer capable of interpreting the Constitution.

                    The only requirement in the Constitution is that a candidate be 35, a resident for 14 years, and a natural born citizen. It is an “excuse” because that’s the law, not a LAsT REfuGe for doo doo heads.

                    You said that the corrupt justice department was trying to keep him eligible. That’s ridiculous on its face because they aren’t helping with his eligibility at all.

                    Tin foil hat shit.

                    Hilariously, you’re wrong about high treason, too. But you can look that one up yourself.

                    I happen to think trump is a treasonous piece of shit but laws matter, and they matter because of people like him.
