    No, because that’s a meaningless gesture on an anonymous website, and I will be goddamned before I give any money to any charity that I haven’t personally vetted considering half of them participate actively in some genocide or other. Anyways I’m glad you have this level of faith in our criminal legal system (it isn’t a justice system when none is to be had) but all it takes is a maga prosecutor and a maga judge and it’s done. The rule of law is dead; republicans have lynched it slowly over the last 50 years.

      You’re free to propose alternative charities. Maybe even a local food bank or some organisation. The point is: I’m happy to put my money where my mouth is, and I don’t think you are. In fact, even if you lose the bet, I don’t think you’d do it anyway. After all, I’m just some guy on the Internet.

      I don’t have “faith” in the US legal system. I just know more than you about how it works and how it doesn’t.

        How it’s supposed to work but we’ve clearly passed that point. If the US legal system functioned Trump wouldn’t have been eligible to run, because he wasn’t. They’ve been making up their own rules without any legal consequence of substance for twenty fucking years, give your fucking balls a tug.
