Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Does Rudy have the money to post bail?
I'm sure some seedy bailbond place will happily loan him the money.
No joke, the NYT article says:
My God, I think my face is stuck in a permanent grin now. That's amazing.
LMAO
Four Seasons Total Bail Bonds
Man, I sure wouldn't, even if I was a staunch conservative. He doesn't seem like someone who pays his bills if he can avoid it.
I would. Just the slim chance that I get to send a bounty hunter after him would be worth it.
I was also wondering this since he's been begging for money for his legal bills.
There was recent reporting that Trump hasn't paid Giuliani or Eastman. I wonder what else Giuliani has been doing for money.
Selling motorboats
Selling handies behind Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
Georgia has a 10% deal, so he only has to post $15K.

"The bond can be paid through cash, a commercial surety, or a court program that requires a payment of 10% of the bond amount."
Isn't someone still on the hook for the whole amount if he skips town? My understanding is that you pay the bondsman ten percent and they cover you, but if you blow town they're on the hook for the whole amount and will go after you.
This sounds like a special court program, so if they skip, the court goes after them.
What is the point of a large bail bond if 10% is all that needs to be paid? Why not get rid of that and just set it at whatever 10% is?
If you skip out on court, you owe the whole thing.
Ah, gotcha
