Does it feel like the news is all opinion pieces these days? All I see is “someone said something on Twitter” lately.
What? You don’t want to hear about the latest thing Elon Musk said/did on/with Twitter?
Try reading a reputable news outlet instead of social media
“Some words”

Trump still has his passport. He is flying out to Saudi Arabia or israel where the US can’t touch him.
You might need to update your list of countries outside of the US’ sphere of influence - those are both close allies. :)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The $200,000 bond approved for Donald Trump in the Georgia election interference case is significant as it suggests the former president “cannot be trusted” to surrender to authorities for processing, according to a legal expert.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee approved the amount for the former president on Monday, the first time Trump has been asked to post bond in any of the four criminal cases he is involved in.
Discussing the bond arrangement, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman said that while the amount of money is not an issue for the former president, it is noteworthy that Judge McAfee should take steps to ensure that Trump does hand himself in.
But the bigger provision is the anti tampering condition—he can’t do anything to intimidate any co-deft or witness or otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," Litman posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The former president is not allowed to communicate with witnesses or any of the 18 other co-defendants in the case, which includes his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and his ex-personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, except through his lawyers.
Trump was previously accused of witness intimidation via his Truth Social posts by legal experts after suggesting that former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan shouldn’t testify to a grand jury just prior to the Fulton County indictment being announced.
The original article contains 596 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 62%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
In this case, I don’t think it’s a matter of “so he’ll show up in court” as opposed to “so he’ll stop shitposting”. Which he won’t. My wild-ass guess is that the sequence will be Trump violates bond conditions–>original bond is forfeited and new bond is set at a much higher amount, say $1,000,000–>Trump violates second bond—>bond revoked, Trump remanded into custody.
They shouldn’t have even set one. It’s just gonna make his base donate.
When’s he going to do something that allows the cops to just shoot him?
when he turns black
I’ve heard orange is the new black …
Interesting example on the importance of proper N- and M-dash usage
“… something of an indignity that he has to post something”
LAWL… that a former PRESIDENT has to post BOND because he’s considered at risk of fleeing the REPUBLIC… yeah, something of an indignity… that’s exactly what Washington would have said…
on racketeering charges no less… while still in office… against a state…
if you trusted him your head is on upside down AND backwards… get a friend or a priest to knock it off for you, so you can put it back on straight…
Meh. Random lawyer saying things.
Then again, this is trump and you know he’s dumb as a rock and always ready to put up a show.
Then again, please please don’t show up. I want to watch a SWAT team kick in his door and drag him out screaming “I thought this was America! MAGAFLGHH” and then a cop puts a knee in his neck. I know, will never happen, bit wouldn’t that be fun for a change
I mean, I kinda hope for a Dog - Trump Showdown
Dog probably voted for Trump and would help him escape.
Unless his politics have changed substantially since the last time I thought about Dog.
Isn’t that the entire point of pre-trial detention?
Trump seems to be the type of petty person to bring the bail in pennies.
Which is illegal in certain instances, if you’re doing it for the sake of creating a nuisance. Definitely in line with what he does.
That would require more thinking than he’s capable of.
U.S. Marshalls to U.S. Secret Service:
Premise of the article is flawed. They’re setting bond amounts for everyone. Seems like standard procedure in Fulton County, GA.
The article is deceitful, because it’s quoting former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman. So it’s a former prosecutor saying the $200k bond means Trump cannot be trusted, not the courts saying that.
