Christ, imagine living in a world where you had to label who Hitler was in a cartoon because not everyone knew who he was.

Yep. That was a 1933 cartoon. So way before most Americans would have heard of him.

What are the odds Trump’s ambulance chasers appleal to SCOTUS saying NY trial bond violates his Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment?

I hesitated writing that because of some irrational fear of feeding it to the universe, but if I came up with that just now, odds are Trump’s law-talking guys already have.

Cruel and unusual only because he has pretended to be uberwealthy for decades and the wealthy escape penalties for financial wrongdoing most of their life. For those of modest means, analogous penalties happen on a regular basis, leaving them homeless and with essentially nothing.
