Actually, I’m wondering if Chesebro will beat him to it. It’s pretty clear that Chesebro is desperate to avoid prison–first, the extremely quick request for a speedy trial, then his failed bid to avoid being linked with Powell. Whoever flips first will probably get the sweetest deal from Willis. It’s obvious this decision will raise Meadows’ stress level. As reluctant as Chesebro is to admit guilt, he’s got to be worrying about what happens if someone else flips first, and given the number of co-defendants, it’s pretty likely that at least some of them will try to.

This, IMO, is the big development of the day. I have no doubt that having to do a mugshot has wounded Trump’s ego (which could lead to some ill-advised tweeting), but in the long run, Chesebro going to trial in two months will do more damage. The pool of 19 defendants is going to keep fracturing. I’m guessing that those who can’t afford the legal fees of a lengthy defense won’t move to sever their cases. With a trial coming up so soon, they’ll be more motivated to flip. So it’s quickly becoming a game of who squeals first.

Can’t wait for the panicked responses from TrumpWorld. I didn’t think Trump would be able to abide by his bail conditions before this happened; now I’m positive he won’t be able to keep his mouth shut.

In this case, I don’t think it’s a matter of “so he’ll show up in court” as opposed to “so he’ll stop shitposting”. Which he won’t. My wild-ass guess is that the sequence will be Trump violates bond conditions–>original bond is forfeited and new bond is set at a much higher amount, say $1,000,000–>Trump violates second bond—>bond revoked, Trump remanded into custody.

Any lawyers around who can tell us when this bond agreement takes effect? Today, when it was signed, or not until after he’s been booked? I ask because Trump is still shooting his mouth off on Truth Social. If the agreement took effect as soon as it was signed, Trump’s already violated the conditions.

Uh huh, and later he’ll claim he can’t present the report because he’s been silenced by whichever judge or prosecutor he’s most pissed off at that day. If only his First Amendment rights weren’t being violated, he could clear this all up!

So many astroturf vibes coming off this new mod’s post…

I’d suggest hanging on to those empty accounts for a while, just to be sure you’ve gotten everything. Even if your profile page looks blank, you may have comments older than the 1000 comment limit that still exist, as do any comments/posts made in subs that have gone private.

WTF is this happy horseshit?

I’d like to see about implementing some sort of identity verification service for the sub.

I think some of their communities are still in denial. That there’s a deadline of 6/29 for Reddit to make a response is a hint that the mods may come back on the 30th and say, "Reddit’s not changing their stance. We’re setting up a new community on X. "

There’s a curious sameness to many of the anti-protest comments. If it’s not a bot, it’s a group of people working off the same script.

I wonder if editing/deleting comments counts as “traffic”.
