- Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal.

I mean, as far as bail goes, it's a shitty practice to begin with. It isn't meant to be punitive, and shouldn't be used as such.
He's not a significant flight risk because he's just too damn famous. It isn't that he couldn't try to flee, or that there aren't places that would give him asylum. It's just that getting to them and staying hidden isn't realistic.
There's also his giant ego that would prevent him from just living a quiet life under the radar.
Besides, he's not going to do any significant jail time. He should, but there's no way he will
full disclaimer i do not support the practice of bail but it couldnt have happened to a nicer guy you know? Plus im predicting all his supporters crying about how theyre being so mean to him lmao
im honestly surprised there is bail at all for him
god i cant wait to see the mugshot
