Every time he gets fined he pulls millions in donations. Throw his ass in the can. Keep him there until his legal troubles are sorted. He's facing 90 something felonies. (think I've seen 91 and/or 94 different charges referred to.)

He should still be able to make most of his court appearances from MDC Brooklyn. They've dealt with high profile inmates plenty of times. Stop letting him play the legal system like a fiddle for personal gain.

MCC Manhattan is closed for upgrades, but MDC Brooklyn is equipped to handle high profile inmates. They can absolutely sort this is out. It's not that difficult of a problem.
Though it is a bit sad there's no chance they could jail him in the same cell his buddy Epstein spent his last nights. I'm sure that would give him lots of constructive things to think about.

CONSPIRACY-PSEUDOSCIENCE
Sources in the Conspiracy-Pseudoscience category may publish unverifiable information that is not always supported by evidence. These sources may be untrustworthy for credible/verifiable information; therefore, fact-checking and further investigation is recommended on a per article basis when obtaining information from these sources. See all Conspiracy-Pseudoscience sources.

Overall, we rate ZeroHedge an extreme right-biased conspiracy website based on the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information that routinely denigrates the left.

History
Launched in 2009, ZeroHedge or Zero Hedge is a finance blog founded by Colin Lokey, also known as “Tyler Durden,” Daniel Ivandjiiski, and Tim Backshall. According to a Bloomberg Interview, the ZeroHedge founders/authors were anonymous until 2016. A Professional Service Subscription is required to read the rest of Bloomberg’s interview; however, a New Yorker article also covered their history.

ZeroHedge wrote a rebuttal article regarding the Bloomberg interview that can be found here. A quote reads: “Zero Hedge hired Colin after he approached us over a year ago begging for a job after being fired with cause from Seeking Alpha, following a fight with a co-worker.”

On 02/15/2022, U.S. intelligence officials accused Zero Hedge of amplifying Kremlin propaganda targeting Ukrainians and taking direction from Russian spies. Zero Hedge denies the claim.

Read our profile on Bulgaria’s government and media.

Funded by / Ownership
The website is registered in Bulgaria under the name Georgi Georgiev, a business partner of Krassimir Ivandjiiski.
According to Rationalwiki, the only writer “conclusively” identified is “Dan Ivandjiiski, who conducts public interviews on behalf of Zero Hedge.” The blog generates revenue from online advertising.

Analysis / Bias
A quote from the above New Yorker article summarizes the blog’s political stance, which Lokey told Bloomberg is: “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”

ZeroHedge’s content has been classified as “alt-right” and has been criticized for presenting conspiracy theories.

In review, ZeroHedge publishes pro-right wing/Trump articles such as Pat Buchanan: “Trump Calls Off Cold War II.” As well as fake news stories regarding liberals: Anti-Trump Protesters Bused Into Austin, Chicago.

Editorial content is written under the pseudonym Tyler Durden and usually focuses on conspiracies related to economic collapse. Zero Hedge sources to factually mixed think tanks such as The Mises Institute, which promotes Austrian (Anarcho-Capitalism) economics. Finally, during the Coronavirus outbreak of 2020, they have frequently promoted false and misleading information, as evidenced by failed fact checks below.

Hold on just a minute...

particularly if he (trump) gets a mulligan for what happened during the COVID pandemic

That shit was entirely down to his mismanagement and dismantling of time-tested Obama era pandemic prevention protections and protocols proven to prevent exactly what happened. That IS absolutely his fault.

Nearly three-quarters of Republicans, moreover, agreed that “since the 1950s, American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the worse.”

Again, this is something Democrats have done more to fix by supporting unions, wages and workers, whereas Republicans have caused these problems by championing low wages and goddamned child labor, reduced consumer protections, a broken supreme court and everything else their lobbyists have paid them to get out there and into law.

There's definite issues with corporate money on both sides of the aisle, but anyone believing for a second that Christo-fascist right wing assholes aren't trying to launch us headlong into a full mega-corporate dystopian future needs to evacuate soul and rapture themselves off this fucking planet. The rest of us don't need their bullshit, and honestly could use the air and breathing room they are wasting.

Grow some balls and send yourself to meet your maker by your own bootstraps if you've got such a boner for that shit.

I'd say religious extremists should be loaded on cruise ships and denied port entry until their god manifests them a new continent (it's close enough to their bible), but at the rate things are going with Antarctica that's far too lenient.

I think we're saying the same thing, but just assigning numbers and using language with slight variations.

And, he's 3rd in line to the presidency.

Fucking fascists. This close to control. What a sad state.

Damn. This final season of Handmaid's Tale getting a sneaker release as an Alternate Reality "Game" (or whatever this is) was sure an interesting production choice.

While in complete agreement that it's good the option is there, have definitely interacted with plenty of end users who, for various reasons, really should never.

They get to sell their parts without having to pay all of the repair people and probably getting out of a certain amount of warranty liability. Win-win-win for them.

but like, wasn't facebook written in php and didn't it kind of take over, about as much as any programming whatzit ever has? (not saying that was a good thing, but yeah...)

Will the GOP have to expel the renegade caucus to function as a party? Tune in next week to find out, as the Dems take center stage in our new format: Plurality Rules!

ohgodohno..ohgodohno..ohgodohno....
dirt.

Emergency services personnel are a special bunch. Good thing for them beggars can't be choosers.

mob justice like this only undermines the justice system...

This is far from the worst thing undermining the justice system. It's not even an egregious example of mob justice. But I suspect we mostly agree. I've said all I've got to say about it.

Sorry. That could be confusing. Yeah. The murderer should go to jail for murder. Absolutely.

I'd have a really hard time sentencing the victim's family for attacking the murderer.

That was my point. Apologies for leaving that ambiguous in my initial comment.
