They did what they had to do to get an agreement. Each of those colonies had to choose between independance, staying a colony or becoming part of a larger nation. Politics then and now is the art of compromise and the posible.

As for the US compromise is not in sight

Judge Kaplan Denies Trump's Motion for Temporary Stay on $83.3M Carroll Judgment

From the article:

 

Quote

"Mr. Trump's current situation is a result of his own dilatory actions. He has had since January 26 to organize his finances with the knowledge that he might need to bond this judgment, yet he waited until 25 days after the jury verdict —

The judge is allowing Carroll to object to the bond by Monday. To be honest, I've never put up a $90 million dollar bond, superdeas or not, so I just thought someone really needed to count out the moolah. But is a performance bond or IOU thing? The Insurance company that put up the bond might have some nefarious connections to Trump naysayers are saying. What's the scoop?

What Idiot Backed Trump’s Bond in E. Jean Carroll Trial? This One.

It turns out that Trump may have called in a major favor: Court records filed Friday show that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

Tesla stock and a strawman for looks. You're in the wrong camp Joe. With big cuts coming to the FBI and IRS. A fully weaponized justice department and a court that has sidetracked the previously precious and worshiped constitution. There is big money to be made and even Mitch McConnell is onboard.

Chubb group is listed on the NYSE and is incorporated in Zurich. It is an S&P 500 component. So if you hold any ETFs based on that congratulations, you are a part owner. Bonding judgements is not listed as part of their core business. It's hard to say what could possibly motivate them to take on this venture. They are already taking considerable heat for getting involved.

"I'm gonna bring the country t-t-t-t-t-together," Trump said mockingly. "I'm gonna bring it togetherrrr."

That is Donald J. Trump mocking President Biden's lifelong stutter at his Saturday Georgia rally.

Please ask yourself if you are doing anything at all, no matter how tangential or trivial, that might contribute to this horrible sociopaths reelection. Oh, and the standard is not in your self serving mind but in the minds of the rest of us.

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos started off supporting Trump's claims of 'election fraud'.
But once it became clear that the 'fraud' was all from Trump, Vos backed off and ended up firing the former State Supreme Court justice he had hired as an investigator.

So, of course, the Trumpettes retaliated. They tried to 'primary' Vos, and are now engaged in a recall attempt.

Of course, that takes money.
So Trump's "Save America" PAC funnelled money to the opponent.

Allegedly illegally.

The Ethics Commission has recommended felony charges against several individuals, including a sitting state representative.

The Stormy Daniels trial is coming up in two weeks.  Trump has tried every trick in the book to delay it, but this time the judge is having none of his shenanigans.

This trial is potentially far more damaging to him than the rape trial, because this is a criminal trial with jail time associated with it.  There are 34 counts of business fraud, all class E felonies (the lowest level of felony in NY.)  To prove it, the prosecution has to prove that he committed fraud (which is very likely, since Cohen was found guilty of the same crime, and Trump was labeled an "unindicted co-conspirator") and that it was committed to support another crime (specifically, campaign finance crimes.)

Since it's a state crime, he cannot pardon himself for it.  He's tried to get it moved to a federal court for that reason - but failed.

He can't legitimately claim he never met Daniels before (as he did with Carroll) but he is claiming that he never had sex with her.  But the hush money is fairly hard to explain otherwise.

Trump has of course thrown his lawyer Michael Cohen under the bus by saying he had no idea what the money was for, but his signature is going to be difficult to explain away.  And it looks like this isn't the only hush-money payment he's made, which makes an argument "but I wasn't aware of THIS one" harder to make.

Overall it's probably the lowest penalty of any of the felonies he is facing - most class E felonies don't result in jail time unless there are additional charges.  But going into an election as a convicted felon is something Trump wants to avoid at all costs, because it gives Biden a two-word response to any attacks about how Biden part of a "crime family."

Judge McAfee has ruled on the Willis/Wade/Trump affair in Georgia.

Either Willis or Wade must quit the proceedings, but the case goes ahead.

Works for me. While Willis is probably the more competent, I think that Wade is a little less tainted, because he wasn't the one in power.

Because my opinion matters...
