Quelle surprise.
Would anyone who did have $175 million in liquid assets waste them on the Orange Scrotum?
Funny how so many reich wing billionaires who want him in the White House wonāt pony up to save his arse. This would be pocket change for the likes of the remaining Koch brother, for example. As for Musk and Bezos, who would be huge beneficiaries of any tax cuts he brought in, $175 million is a sum they could probably lose down the back of the sofa and never bother looking for it.
Presumably it would be a gift over $18,000.
Ah, and would therefore come under campaign funding legislation. Which of course rich reich wingers want to hide as much as possible.
I heard a pod cast talking about why judges may be reluctant to send him to jail. They pointed out that he is the first former president to be charged with a criminal offence and as a former president he has a secret service protection detail. Would they have to guard him while he is in jail. If the farting issue is true he could cause a prison riot.
Thereās a simple solution to that ā¦ solitary confinement.
While building a mini-prison just for him in some obscure location might be construed as yet more special treatment, it would have the effect of depriving him of an audience. Other, of course, than said beleaguered FBI security detail and the prison staff.
Additionally, take away his mobile phone, so he canāt whip up another insurrection, and force him to conduct contacts either face to face with visitors, or over a standard landline (which of course said FBI security detail will be well positioned to monitor for seditious comments).
Perhaps this suggestion should be put to the various legal authorities. Pretty sure they could find a corner of Guantanamo spare for the purpose, or park his new home in the outer reaches of that area NASA cordoned off for rocket booster testing. Somewhere preferably out of reach of any deranged nutters who might want to sprint their Dear Leaderā¢ from jail and launch a second insurrection afterwards.
My personal suggestion would be to ship him off to those parts of, say, Ascension Island or Diego Garcia used by US intelligence, which will be unreachable by the MAGAlāQaeda loons. Even if some manage to find a way of travelling there, theyāll be blown out of the water in pretty short order, because US intelligence will NOT tolerate intruders near any of their secret spook bases.
Sticking a troublesome would be emperor on a distant island worked with Napoleon, so thereās no reason it canāt work with the Orange Scrotum. Letās face it, Napoleon managed to prosecute an entire European war with considerable success until he came unstuck in Russia (the āGeneral January and General Februaryā adage resounds loudly around me at this point), and Trump is nowhere near Napoleonās status in this regard.
Perhaps someone might like to forward this suggestion to the US Justice Department? 
Nah, donāt do that. Build his cell in a Faraday cage and let him keep his phoneāitāll drive him crazy.
We donāt want him. Pretty sure none of the inhabitants of Saint Helena would want him either.
Indeed, one of the reasons I suggested the places I did, was to ensure that the only people who would have to put up with him, were people being paid to be there.
Plus, Iām sure that the various spooks operating in those places would find ways of making his presence entertaining if he got out of hand. I gather they have a talent for this.
Fuuuuuck that, gen pop, and his SS detail can intervene only if they think his being ātossed around like a dog toy,ā might kill him.
Too much? Iāll get me coatā¦
Looks like measures are already in place ā¦

I suspect heāll get a fine for the current contempt charges. And, normally, Iād want him jailed for the next batchā¦preferably in general pop at Rikerās. However, I am mixed because I hate the likelihood that he would profit from it.
Meanwhile, watch this and be amazed:
Not only did the Trump crime syndicate cobble together a conspiracy to disguise the Stormy Daniels hush money payment, and rebrand it as āincome for services renderedā payable to Michael Cohen, but Trumpās CFO, wait for it, took notes about all of this, for all the world like a stenographer, and scribbled those notes on the financial document in question in one of the margins thereof.
How do we know this?
Because, wait for it, the prosecution obtained that document, and duly presented it in court earlier today.
For those familiar with the TV series in question, this is possibly the Trump crime syndicateās Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons moment.

Things arenāt looking good for Trump, and itās only the third day of the trial! But remember, juries are fickle and it only takes one juror to hang the jury and force a mistrial, and, to Trump, a mistrial is almost as good as an acquittal since any retrial likely wonāt happen before the election.
The North Carolina GOP posted this on May 4th (āStar Wars Dayā). Donāt they know that in the Star Wars universe only dark-side villains use red lightsabers? Maybe it was intentionalā¦

That story about attending his sonās graduation, that he turned into a whinge against the judge in the hush money/election fraud trial?
Turns out it was another lie - he wanted the time off to go grifting (surprise, surprise):
