We don't need a conspiracy theory for this to be problematic. On the face of it, a Presidential candidate will owe $91.6M to someone—maybe Chubb, maybe a bank that gave him a line of credit to give Chubb, etc—if he loses the appeal, as he likely will. That's a lot of leverage on a President.

Breaking: #91Felonies rapist has posted a bond of nearly $92 million in E. Jean Carroll defamation case. The posted bond is exactly $91,630,000.00, which includes a district’s courts common practice of requiring a bond of 110% of the judgement.
Insurance company Chubb underwrote the $91.63 million bond for Donald Trump, which the former president signed on Tuesday, March 5.
Under the terms of the bond, Chubb will only secure the appeal of the $83.3 million judgment, not any future appeals.
#91Felonies Rapist got someone to give him almost exactly that amount. America has no idea who that is or who he is now beholden to, and that is unacceptable as a counterintelligence matter.
The whole world wants to know where the money to purchase the bond came from.
And U.S. intelligence *needs* to know.
A billionaire shouldn’t need an agency to post his $90M bond. That should be chump change to a billionaire. Where’s Mr. I’m so rich when it comes to paying his bills?

I’m happy to hammer Republicans. You?
Via Ruth Ben-Ghiat:
Dems, time to hammer Republicans for being upset that Americans have jobs and the economy is strong
Aaron Rupar:
"All of this stuff is by design" -- Bartiromo and company think the strong jobs reports are a conspiracy to keep Biden in office #DarkBrandon #Bidenomics
I’ll leave you with this final thought before going to sleep. I call it #Alabackwards for many reasons. Our senators are two of them.
Sen Katie Britt said family starts in kitchen … obviously that didn’t happen in laruen boebert’s kitchen. Her kid in jail for stealing cars. Family Values indeed.
Hhmm she is in the kitchen too.. that’s not the ideal spot to place modern #woman. But that’s the republicans for you!! #gop #SOTU2024 #SOTU #Biden #trump
Rape. Fear. Fear. Immigrants. Fear. Fear. #sotu response -- supercilious.. ugh. the worst collegiate co-ed.. the privileged angry white girl. The "Karen" Response.
Woah! Katie Britt may be even more tone deaf and out of touch than last year’s Republican responder, Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa—and she sucked ass!
Katie has a future in daytime drama; too bad soap operas are a thing of the past. Much like the Republican Party.

One last point.
The Republican responding to the address is speaking from her kitchen and talking about her children and God, and wearing a cross.
Keep your eyes open.
This #GOP lady is a #CrisisActor
Biden did this before.
In 2020, he laid low — and everyone started underestimating him.
That’s exactly what he wants.
Right when you count him out, he comes out swinging and WRECKS everyone in his path. #SOTU
Republicans demanded a bill on the border.
Democrats agreed to the bill.
Republicans then did a 180 and killed their own border bill — because Donald Trump wanted to deny Joe Biden a win.
Those are the FACTS — and EVERY news story on the border must include them. #SOTU
Trump was supposedly going to live-post on Truth Social during the #SOTU
Truth Social is now down and totally inoperative.
Congress needs to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act!

Apparently Rev. Sen. Warnock — who is literally a baptist preacher — also separately told Biden "That was a sermon tonight."
