There's a difference between net worth, and liquidity. That came out of his liquidity pool.

Edit, not sure why I was downvoted, this is the truth. A lot of his wealth is tied up in loans against his stocks. If you do enough damage, he has to sell more stock to pay that back, eventually over leveraging himself.

It would take a lot to do that today, which is why going after his TSLA sick price hurts him the most right now.

Except he never gave anyone $1M, it was donated to republican groups. The whole thing is basically fraud from start to finish.

Typically they have a dependency on something only one browser can do, and rather than using a polyfill or a better browser, force their bad technical decisions onto the user.

I hope not, but yeah, I suspect this will be the case.

The world is fucked, and this is a perfect microcosm of why.

McGregor assumes raping a woman is the only qualifier for president. So this makes sense.

It's my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It's often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.

By doing this, they're basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.

Purely to try and scare people/send a message.

When he's rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like "owning an unregistered firearm", this could come back to bite them in the ass.

But who knows. I've been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.

0 here as well. Really feels like a Gen X/Millennial thing.
