How does one get a 175 million fake bail bond? Like, the magnitude of scale alone is insane, but they tried to fake it?!
The filing notes that the surety Trump used to obtain the bond, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, is “a small insurer that is not authorized to write business in New York and thus not regulated by the state’s insurance department
I can see why they are concerned. Nearly 200 million is no joke. This would wreck a smaller company if 200 million was needed immediately. And Trump doesn't exactly owe this company his alliance.
Even though "Hank" the owner of the company, is a billionaire in CA from car loans and rental properties. Most of his assets are tied to properties that will not be easy to sell on the spot (Eviction usually takes at least a month), or on car loans that take time to accumulate in value.
On a non logical note: He isn't exactly the most trustworthy either....
In October 2015, Westlake Financial (Owned by Hank) was ordered by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to provide $44.1 million dollars in consumer relief for engaging in illegal debt collection practices. Westlake Financial and its affiliate Wilshire Consumer Credit deceived borrowers into thinking they were being called by repossession companies, other third parties, or even the borrowers’ own family and friends. The Bureau also found that the companies unlawfully disclosed information about borrowers’ debts to employers, family, and friends.
So lying to get what they want isn't off the table in this case either.
Cruz tried to block Schumer’s move to dismiss the charges by offering a motion to send the Senate into a private session to debate the constitutionality of the impeachment.
Pfft, nice try Cruz. We all know who has their finger on the pulse when it comes to the Supreme court.
No evidence? Get the Fuck out and don't collect $200 for passing go.
I was homeschooled by a christian cult on the virtues of capitalism and the dangers of communism.
That being said, when reality meshes with what you are taught. Usually reality wins.
What we have now is a communism profit structure for the rich, while we have rugged capitalism for the poor. If we had capitalism for the rich, many of these companies would have failed after covid-19 and the 2008 housing market crash. But our economy would have been more resilient against things like hyperinflation and even inflation.
Yet we allowed them to be saved thanks to communism, pulling our money together to save these companies, so the rich have already voted and said communism works for them. Now we are just debating on if everyone else should be apart of it.
“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”
You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn't lost to folks
No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.
Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.
Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.
Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.
Sure you can "believe" climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That's how a normal person processes information.
Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it's belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it's original command structure and go with it's 2nd command.
You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.
Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.
Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.
However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren't as good as people think.
Not your average small business owner either, someone with weight is basically defying every metric of long term/short term investment on a stock that has done nothing but depreciate in value over the past year.
On a product, no one uses.
And said, "That's worth at least as much as Amazon."
Ouch, I'd be pissed too if my $70 was still not enough to buy all the character models, let alone that I would have to pay to re-customize my character. They 100% deserve this negative criticism.
I’m not asking which one is worse, I’m saying there will be three under Trump.
Sounds like it will be a real blood bath, what are democrats going to do about it?
Because for me it's sounds pretty simple
Cease fire in Gaza
Resume food aid into Gaza
Really simple and quite easy to do. But if they don't want to do that.... they can always....
Try someone besides Biden
Push economic policies that help Americans
But if they really didn't want to do that and wanted to lose an election, all they have to do is the same thing they are right now.
Do you really think Biden plans to cleanse the U.S. of brown people and queer people? Or is it not genocide when it’s queer people and the wrong kind of brown people?
People are people whether they live in the US or not. I am not going to put one on a balance over the other.
But I am not going to agree with one flavor of genocide over the other, just because Biden's is fruit punch flavored.
So... what are democrats going to do about it, because the ball is in their court.
I feel like we are arguing semantics when we say stuff like Republican genocide vs Democrat genocide and asking which one is worse. When obviously the answer is both are wrong and counter productive to a growing society.
So..... what are democrats going to do about it?
Because it seems republicans have made their minds up.

Technically $56 billion.
Or in job terms, 466,667 jobs that pay $120,000 a year.
