Who is watching the Trump - Biden tonight?

Tell me why you're watching or avoiding—I want to know...

@flexghost Not watching.

I have actively avoided hearing Trump speak for eight years, there's no way I'm changing that now.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️A New York appeals court agreed to slash the amount of the bond Donald must post to cover a $454 million civil fraud verdict to just $175 million -Bloomberg

granting him 10 days to pay a reduced bond

@ralfmaximus @timo21 @Wileymiller @GottaLaff

Is it wrong of me to think that New York now knows it will at least get the amount of the bond before they have to start the seizure process? I'm not entirely sure how that works.

🤭👉🏼 “#Trump offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.

..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.” #legal

@GottaLaff @Wileymiller There are no pragmatists with power in most outposts of the GOP. They are all true believers who paint disagreement as persecution. The heretics must either be converted or shunned.

I grew up around people like this. They are incapable of changing their minds until it hurts them personally. Maybe not even then.

If the Romneys and McCains of this nation had any guts, they'd look to the future and organize a less insane right-wing party instead of making pithy statements. But they don't.

You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.

I've already had to block a few accounts for this.

Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.

But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."

If that's a prob, it's on you.
