Something different today from the great political cartoonist Clay Jones.
An actual graph from the news, no cartoon or dialogue, just a comment.
Sorry, purists, it's X, but Clay resists posting to Fediverse, Mastodon, etc. (old habits?)

Meanwhile... a yuge win for the Devil, #DonPoorleone.. 😈
He's had his bond halved and given an extension, which means he will be able to come up with the bond, be it from cashing out #truth (as he regularly does, on another level), or loans from his buddies. Bottom line: No property sell-offs required. He "wins" this.
Even as he depletes the #GQP / #RNC coffers and continues #grifting among the #cult.
The News
Donald Trump was given a reprieve after weeks of struggling to put together a roughly half-billion dollar bond in a New York fraud case, when an appeals court agreed Monday to cut the bond to $175 million. Trump had said he would need to sell properties to raise the cash.The decision came as Trump faced a deadline to either pay the $454 million fine or post a bond for 120% of that amount while he appealed the ruling. It will allow Trump to appeal without the risk of his assets being seized by New York authorities.
Trump now has 10 days to obtain the $175 million bond, and two people with knowledge of his finances told The New York Times that they were confident he would be able to secure it in that time. Bloomberg has estimated that Trump has a net worth of approximately $3.1 billion, but a large part of it is tied up in assets such as real estate.
Ya think? - Part 2 - #TrumpVirus Lawyers
Yes, Alina Habba is out of her depth. But John Lauro takes the cake in the former president’s legal clown show.
Well, it's been a fun-filled week! Is it Friday yet? Enjoy the weekend... Jack's on the job and we have some hope on the horizon...

In a powerful news week - War, democracy, train disaster, earthquake, climate, etc ...
Within the finite and grossly reality-distorted world of MTG -who is "Representative" of something!- following her own divorce, she's calling for a national "divorce" of red & blue #tribes (Civil War? Massive re-zoning/emigration?) AND she's #grifting to end support for Ukraine!
She's more than an embarrassment & a diversion. She's a danger and affront to ... (US) civilization. She's now the latest #TrumpVirus variant to use office for grifting and attention-getting. Sewing division, disruption, and disinformation, she's strutting about calling for "national divorce" between red & blue. Like Blue and Red Meanies? Martians? Plus she's now grifting in ads like TFG did: "Stop World War 3" and take money away from Ukraine and ... build a wall? But send the money to her front org, thanks. (So smart!)
From a discussion about all the challenges before us and all the incredibly disconnected fantasies, delusions and distractions, not to mention love of attention. (She is "Representative"/ Of who? oh, #GQP, yes, got it) - along came this appraisal. She's not only Qwazy, she's dangerous. Because people follow her, believe her, and are drawn further away from what we left in 'woke reality' state know as #truth.
