    $9,000? So now contempt of court has a price tag, and it’s one even his fraudulent ass can easily afford. Way to make things worse again, guys.

      It’s the legal maximum fine. Judge can impose jail time, but didn’t this time. There are already four more gag order violations which will be discussed later in the week.

          He’s already a fucking martyr, it’s just a matter of when/where the bastard keels over. His base is riled up enough that no matter how he dies, it will be a conspiracy theory nightmare and probably trigger another january 6th style incident.

          The faster he is removed from the public eye, they faster people forget about him and latch onto some other bullshit

            They’ll also constantly insist he’s coming back from the dead. He’s effectively a religious figure now because humanity is hopelessly warped.

          That and they’d have to set up room and board for secret service inside the jail along with a host of other security measures to make sure he doesn’t get murdered by an inmate.

      That’s like fining a normal person a nickle.

      Why aren’t these things based on net worth? These systems are so broken.
