See your honor..... We've run into a problem. They actually don't even make jails for rich white women.
Yeah they do, it's the one Ghislaine Maxwell is in. The one that's basically a regular house that you can't leave.
Tbf she's not actually wealthy. Her father was at one point, but his business empire collapsed into debt. She's just a heiress with no inheritance who had lots of connections with wealthy people.
Afaik she's worth at least 5m. Which, that sounds rich to me.
That’s not all that rich. Which is probably why she’s in prison.
Where I live, a single family home costs well over a million dollars. Two million in a “nice” neighborhood. Take the rest of that and put it in a diversified brokerage account, you can probably make enough each month to live as if you had a regular middle class job but without working. I wouldn’t call that “rich.” That’s basically just early retirement.
Sure would be nice though.

She has a wealth of knowledge relating to the wealthy.

Maxwell has been complimentary of her prison saying "the staff is very responsive..."
Staff. Responsive. Fuck. Me.
That's hilarious, because when I was in jail the staff wasn't even responsive when I had a medical emergency...
have her explain from a jail cell

We need to stop affording these people the protection of the same laws they disregard daily. Either they are bound and protected, or unbound and unprotected. PERIOD.
Most law enforcement are MAGA or conservative voting republicans.
The day you convince the entire population of left-leaning voters to apply for law enforcement jobs, you will finally see a push to enforce the fucking law.
Right now, all this anger and confusion as to why this bitch is not in jail and still gets to do whatever the fuck she wants, is because none of us are in a position of power to do anything about it; y'all constantly want other people to do things for you instead of doing it your-fucking-self.
You want Nazis to stop spreading Christian fascist propaganda on the streets? Instead of begging CEOs and cops, try organized armed protesting (like the Black Panthers). Want the MAGA conservatives in jail? Instead of hoping someone will grow some balls to actually arrest them, try aggressive obstructive protests in front of the elected officials private homes and offices (they dont get to leave their desks or relax at home until shit gets fixed).
Nothing will ever get fixed in your lifetime if the shit of complaining online persists. We gotta physically and aggressively spread our rhetoric, using the very same tactics MAGA and fascists have been using globally to resurge all over, and use it against them.
or unbound and unprotected
This is where the term “outlaw” came from. Basically, the local authorities would determine that someone had committed so many crimes that they were no longer protected by the law. They could be killed on sight, because the laws against murder no longer protected the outlaw.
The answer is clear: the regime does not abide by laws or court rulings - the US has now abandoned even the appearance of being a constitutional state. If US citizens have a problem with this, they should rise up against all the corruption and all the crimes. However, since they are not doing so, we will continue to read news stories like this.
You have any resources for us to use to "rise up"? Guns, ammo, money, volunteer time? Otherwise you are spreading useless rhetoric like everyone else and this needs to stop, not escalate.
Organize a general strike. Bring the country to a standstill until you get rid of this regime while you still can. Don't put it off and don't complain because it causes you economic difficulties. The reason is simple: if you don't act now, you will end up in a dictatorship - and then things will get much worse.
Source: I am German, perhaps you know our history.
I wish people better understood the logistics of a general strike.
For the record my people were forced off their land by the US government almost 200 years ago in an event called the Trail of Tears. This has always been a dictatorship for some.
I'm sorry for your people, but the statement still stands. Life will only get worse for all people who are not white - and even for white people, as long as they are not rich. Unfortunately, that's how it is with tyrants.

She will just ignore the judge, not like he will do anything. America we are done.
Yes, under this regime, the US is no longer a constitutional state. And that is why I believe it is impossible to remove the regime by constitutional means. Some people point to the midterms and say that the president will then be a lame duck. That applies to presidents who abide by the law, but not to one who has no scruples whatsoever. Waiting to see what happens will only give the orange child molester more time.
Trump-appointed judge from season 1, by the way
from season 1
LMFAO
Because there are no consequences to her continuing to commit fraud.
There will be, but the process has to do this first
Novak gave Halligan seven days to respond in writing “explaining the basis for ... identification of herself as the United States Attorney, notwithstanding Judge Currie’s contrary ruling. She shall also set forth the reasons why this Court should not strike Ms. Halligan’s identification of herself as United States Attorney from the indictment in this matter.”
The judge’s order goes on to say Halligan "shall further explain why her identification does not constitute a false or misleading statement." Novak also alluded to potential disciplinary action and demanded that Halligan sign her response.
Judge big mad
Because the only way these religious extremist pedophiles will leave office is in body bags

The answer for these people is to hold them without bail awaiting charges... Then don't bother bringing chargers until the current regime is toppled. They can't be pardoned, because there's no conviction. Someone could order that they be released... But the judge/jail/court can, and should just ignore that order. Kevin mitnick was held for 4.5 years without bail, and without a trial. We already have a precedent
Because she's hot in a specific "Trump's preferred kind of hot" way. Come on people is it really that hard to see
I am not seeing it, she has to be at least 30 years older than Trump Prefers
This is like a metaphor for this entire administration. Just remarkably ignorant, incompetent people, stumbling around the government breaking things, and thinking it's the greatest idea ever.
What the fuck? After I heard about the previous court ruling I figured that would be the end of it. They're just flatly ignoring the judge on this? If I were a jljudge, I'd start tossing all cases brought by the eastern district of VA until she is no longer leading the division.
I'd start by issuing an arrest warrant for contempt of court.
This is just so, so, fucking stupid.
An incompetent imbecile ignores the law, and then ignores the bench
But, this bit at the end of the article got me:
Other judges in the district have previously expressed their frustration with Halligan, including one who now places an asterisk next to Halligan’s name on every court document and next to it refers to Currie's ruling from November
Maybe if I get high enough later, I’ll see if I can find any of these asterisks.
Halligan: "Well, Judge, in this administration, we typically ignore judges who rule against us".
"Oh, pish posh."
Is it because no one is stopping her?
No need to, it's just that district taking a loss on every single case they bring. Eventually having ineffectual prosecution for an entire district will cause the administration huge issues for being weak on crime.
Dismissing every case she brings with prejudice seems like the only viable response the judges have.
That's what will likely happen and she'll get sanctioned along with her office.
Since when do Republicans obey laws or rules?
The actual ruling, should anyone care to read it:

TL;DR: the judge schools her like she's a first year law student, lol
Because the judge has no power to enforce. That lies under the executive. Which other "judges" have determined is above the law. Congratulations. You played yourself judicial branch.
You played yourself judicial branch.
No they didn't. They played us. This was their plan the whole time. An unaccountable, all powerful ~~dictator~~ president.
"Well, you see, it's quite easy. Basically an orange paedophile thinks I'm good to look at and...erm, that's it.
...
Ohhhh, haha, I nearly forgot, it's also probably easy to throw me under the bus if shit hits the fan. But mainly the I'm good to look at thing."
who's going to stop her? the Marshalls? like... the judiciary is basically impotent. what did Jackson say about the supreme court? "let them stop me" or some such.
I like that the lie of the rule of law is being laid bare. abolish the fucking law.
