Of course I am not joking. Every society has a multiple tier system of rules and justice. That’s the way human society works. Those with the money and power write the laws and have the power and money to exploit them.Yeah, there are multiple tiers. Trump's on one tier, and the state of New York, with huge financial resources and legal manpower, is on a much higher tier.
Only someone with the power and money could get the courts to lower the amount of the bond. I know for damn sure that nobody I know would be able to do so. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

There's a legal open season on any medical providers who may decide to provide abortions in Texas-- they're going to get sued by for-profit attorneys. The Democrats want to put the white businessmen in jail. The Republicans want to put young black men in jail. Both want to lock up members of the other party.
And yes, if you've got money, you've got a major advantage in the legal system over those who don't.
Trump got fucked by the state of New York. There are many poor, innocent people, and people who committed minor crimes, rotting in prison who got fucked worse. Big wrongs don't justify smaller wrongs.
When you say you're not joking, I'm assuming that you don't actually believe that Trump paid off somewhere between three and five New York appellate judges who were appointed by Democratic governors to get his bond lowered. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
