Why doesn't anyone ever mention the fact that Trump is *out on bail*?

[Ocelot II]

Because he is! He's out on bail in the GA case - IIRC he posted $200K as bail. Maybe it should be brought up more often that the leading GOP candidate for president is out on bail as he campaigns.

[hlthe2b]

1. Good question... n/t

[senseandsensibility]

2. Well I know why the corporate media doesn't

Someone on our side should. We need more attack dogs.

[Ocelot II]

6. Well, *I'm* gonna do it. Every time I mention TFG.

As in, "Trump, who is currently out on bail in a felony RICO case, is again threatening to withdraw from NATO." Or, "Trump, who is currently out on bail in a felony RICO case, has a face like an old man's scrotum." Or, "Trump, who is currently out on bail in a felony RICO case, looks especially orange today."

[senseandsensibility]

7. Yes James Carville suggested that a couple of weeks ago

He said the NYT should be doing that. Not always a fan of his, but that was great.

[Ocelot II]

8. Ha! The NYT is too busy expounding on his *manly energy*

while at the same time publishing opinion pieces by the likes of Maureen Dowd and Ross Douchehat about Biden being ancient and doddering.

[senseandsensibility]

10. They are, but Carville's suggestion that they refer to him as a someone found liable for

sexual assault every time they write about him really put in perspective. They would be following journalistic standards if they did that. It wouldn't be untrue in any way and is simply factual. Instead they are writing propaganda for him.

[TSExile]

17. I call him RAPIST every chance I get.

Because it's true!!!!

[DENVERPOPS]

30. I enjoyed

cancelling my NYT subscription this afternoon. When asked why, I told them that I was disgusted at the "Puffery" piece, made up of total shit about Trump......period. And that the NYT had become a disgrace to any claim of professional journalism.......

[niyad]

21. The RAPIST, TRAITOR** currently out on bail in the GA feliny RICO case.

[LiberalFighter]

45. I posted the first one just now on FB.

[elleng]

3. Too many details to recall, of course.

[WarGamer]

4. Out on bail, fresh out of jail, MAGAT dreamin'

[ecstatic]

12. Lol. That was my exact thought.

He really could be a rapper right now. That'll be his next gig if all else fails. 🙄

[RockRaven]

5. It certainly is germane to every discussion of his delay, Delay, DELAY strategies

to his court cases. If he were not out on bail, delay might not be his primary strategy.

[senseandsensibility]

11. Good point

I neer thought of it like that.

[TwilightZone]

9. It's a relatively unimportant detail.

Emphasis on "relatively", but that's probably the reason. I doubt it's an intentional omission by the media; I think it's just a bit of an afterthought compared to his claims of total immunity, the 91 indictments, ongoing trials and civil cases, an $83 million award, and a potential $400 million penalty to his org.

It is, on its own, pretty extraordinary, of course, but I think it's just getting buried by everything else. It got a lot of press when it happened, of course.

[dickthegrouch]

13. However his base might be less likely to support him

The supposed law and order party needs more bad things said about him to undermine their support. Using the phrases “indicted” and “out on bail” might sway a few % more away from him.

[TwilightZone]

15. Disagree.

I think nothing is going to persuade them not to support him. The support of his base has been stable since 2015. Nothing he has ever done has put a dent in that support, and referring to him as out on bail isn't going to move the needle.

If being found liable for rape and defamation, facing 91 indictments in four jurisdictions, and facing years in prison aren't enough to sway them, just saying he's out on bail on one of those cases certainly won't.

[TheKentuckian]

16. Most likely so but muck him the fuck up just in case.

Due diligence is always prudent.

[ProfessorGAC]

52. With You

His Base is too committed to bother with, but the large middle might be swayed by constantly reminding them that this rich bot is a criminal.

[erronis]

34. They were the "Law and Order" party in name only; now they don't bother using that term.

It's become pretty obviously the White Nationalist Party.

[calimary]

35. How about the Putin Pussy Party?

Seems like an accurate description as well as a memorable label.

[Ocelot II]

19. True, but a reminder that the GOP's likely candidate is *out on bail*

doesn't hurt - just emphasizes the fact that if you vote for him you might be voting for a felon. Not that most of the MAGAts care, but..

[TwilightZone]

20. The trials make that pretty clear.

My point is that just pointing he's out on bail in one trial is less effective than noting everything combined, including the fact that there are three others.

Trump, currently facing 91 criminal charges in four jurisdictions and with his organization facing $375 million in penalties...

vs.

Trump, currently out on bail...

"Out on bail" is relatively meaningless compared to the big picture.

[et tu]

37. excellent point, defendent 45 nt

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Not to mention, his co-defendant was denied bail because of his dangerous attacks on others

And when he was allowed out on bail, he resumed his attacks, so his bail was rescinded. Why is TFG being treated differently especially since his attacks are far more dangerous and well publicized??

[0rganism]

18. Optionally, follow up with how bad he is at crime to get so many indictments

"Al Capone didn't get charged nearly as much. Trump's as bad at criming as he is at presidenting."

[John Shaft]

22. It's because EVERYTHING is a fucking scam

the fix is in.

This world is chock filled to the brim with sick fucks.

[BaronChocula]

23. Good idea

I'll stop referring to him as Florida Rapist and start referring to him as Florida Rapist Free on Bail.

[StarryNite]

24. Great point!

I think there is just so much that loser has done and is doing that we can't remember it all.

[Aussie105]

25. We make allowances for older demented relatives, don't we?

Probably because some of us want to stay in the good books of our deluded, crazy and on his last legs grandpa/uncle etc.

Don't want to miss out a mention in the will, seeing he said many times how filthy rich he is.

But what makes people excuse a sad sack demented and insane ex-president?
What is the possible payback there?
Why the current and ongoing blindness to who he is, the continual sucking up?

Boggles the mind! Mine is severely boggled, has been for a few years now.

(Three hearts? Wow! Thanks! Bless you in your Voyage through Life!)

[brooklynite]

26. How do you know he's out on bail?

Answer: because it was in the news when it happened. How many times is bail status repeated for any criminal defendant?

[ecstatic]

29. Each and every time if the defendant is black.

With trump, it doesn't hurt to repeatedly remind people of his criminal status. This is not normal.

[SalamanderSleeps]

33. Bingo!

[spanone]

27. K&R

[Silent Type]

28. Good point. Add it to adjudicated rapist and fraudster, twice impeached, 91 indictments,

cad, disgusting POS, and worse.

“Journalists” would take up the entire show, but guess they could alternate terms each time they mention his name— “rapist trump,” fraudster trump, indicted trump, liar trump, etc., and the MFer is out on bail and white wingers still love him.

[onenote]

31. Maybe because we shouldn't treat being out on bail as creating a presumption of guilt

[Ocelot II]

39. That's not the point. The point is to remind people that

it's super weird to have a former president who is running again and is the likely candidate of one of the two major parties who is out on bail, having been charged with multiple felonies. Everybody knows being out of jail pending trial doesn't mean guilt in any case, but when have we ever have a presidential candidate who was in such deep legal shit that he had to put up $200K in bail money in order to go out and hold campaign rallies?

[Bluethroughu]

32. You would think showing classified materials, with-held illegally, to

Unauthorized people would have been breaking the law, a term of his bond. Threatening Judges, witnesses, or jury members would be another count, to be sent to jail until trial.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Yes, everytime they intro a story about him it should include

"...who is out on bail..."

[llashram]

38. yep

the cretin ex-potus, sexual predator, conman, traitor, extremely disrespectful of the military veteran and current and past. Veteran haters and very disrespectful of same. Remember the Normandy Beach observance the traitor dissed because it was raining.

[dlk]

40. Good point

We are dealing with such a double standard in the news media. It’s truly awful.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

41. Because Biden is old.

[Ocelot II]

42. Oh, yeah. Right. Sorry, I forgot...

[sop]

43. Dog the Bounty Hunter can bring him in when he skips.

I'd pay to watch that episode.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. Excellent question. His coddling by the media and treating this like just another election is revolting.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

46. What's the difference between that and talking about the charges he's facing?

[Ocelot II]

47. It's succinct, and it indicates that he's a guy that at least one court

doesn't think is reliable enough to be released without bail on his own recognizance. And he's a guy who, but for the ability to come up with $200K, would be sitting in a grungy jail in Atlanta, wearing an orange jumpsuit and flipflops as he waits for his trial.

[louis-t]

48. The press tiptoes around it saying "he was indicted".

He was arrested 4 times. They let him out on his own recognizance but technically, he's out on bail. I've ranted about this several times.

[Ocelot II]

49. He had to post $200K bail in the GA case, he's not out on OR for that one.

He'd be sitting his fat orange butt in an Atlanta jail if he hadn't made bail.

[louis-t]

50. Ohhh, I didn't know that.

[soldierant]

55. If he used a bail bondsman,

he only had to put up a portion of that and the bondsman put up the rest. If that's the case, if he skips out, he'd still owe the bondsman the full amount, though.

[CrispyQ]

51. Because our side doesn't have a marketing department? Or whatever they call it in politics.

I'm giving you a heart for asking something I'd totally forgotten about. Someone needs to get Trump's mugshot & make a meme.

[TeamProg]

53. kick

[FakeNoose]

54. Why do they call him "President " Chump when he's "Former President" Chump?

The only person who deserves the title is "President Joe Biden."
