“Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation,” read a statement by NAACP president Ben Jealous. “Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.”

Yeah I know, the left loves them some racists.

Why would the party that controls DOD require people to loot and burn? If there were a Gestapo wing of the Democratic party (there isn't), they would use the military for their purposes. A Glock pistol won't help you if that happens.

 

A much more sane explanation of her comment is that some citizens may choose to stop the counting of votes via violence.

Company defends Trump’s $175 million bond in new filing
After the New York attorney general raised concerns, the bond company said cash from the former president backed the deal

April 16, 2024 at 4:35 p.m. EDT via Washington Post

 

Representatives for the firm that posted a $175 million bond for Donald Trump pushed back against objections raised by New York’s attorney general, saying in a court filing late Monday that the deal is “adequately secured” by the former president’s cash.

The filing sets the stage for a court hearing next week in Trump’s New York civil fraud case, where Justice Arthur Engoron will decide whether the bond has met state requirements — allowing Trump to appeal a massive civil judgment and preventing state authorities from seizing his properties in the meantime.

 

The filing also argues that Knight is properly licensed, including a statement from New York’s former superintendent of insurance, Gregory V. Serio, that Knight is qualified to do business in the state.

If the bond is secured by ‘Trump’s cash’, and presumably at some significant rates of interest/service charges.

 

Why on earth is the bond necessary?

 

Somebody needs to take a close look at that cash.

 

The bond issuer’s statement alone is  justification to do so.

 

Voters might also want to assure themselves that the Presumptive Republican Candidate isn’t in debt to anyone hoping to buy some influence.

 

Eyes all over that ‘Trump Cash Deposit’ seems more than necessary.

A person familiar with the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity to disclose a confidential agreement, said that the bond fee was 1 percent and that Trump expected to benefit from earning interest on the $175 million at a rate of about 5 percent, making it worthwhile to use the bond company.

That might address the logic of using a bond.

 

It doesn’t address the legitimate question of examining the funds that are claimed to be guaranteeing the bond.

Oh, and the Democrat party used to have a Gestapo wing, it was called the Ku Klux Klan. 

 

Senator Robert Byrd (Democrat) was the longest serving senator in history when he died in office in 2010. Along with being the Senate leader, he had been an organizer and member of the KKK.  Obama and Biden both eulogized Byrd, and Hilary called him her mentor.

Letitia James Under Pressure to Show Why She Rejected Trump Bond
Published Apr 17, 2024 at 12:07 PM EDT

 

New York Attorney General Letitia James will have to explain why her challenge to Donald Trump's $175 million bond was not taken "unnecessarily and for vexation," a judge has ruled.

 

Judge Arthur Engoron set an April 22 hearing after Trump's legal team filed a large amount of paperwork on Monday to prove that Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) was legally permitted to post the bond for Trump.

If Trump wins the case on April 22, James will have to pay the costs of the former president reapplying to the court with new bond paperwork.

You are probably referring to FDR's New Deal, which you never got over.

 

Social Security is probably a nightmare for you.  I remember when Republicans called "Medicare" as Marxist.
