Call it what it is. It's a fee, not a fine. Like dropping a quarter in the parking meter. It's illegal to park here only if you don't pay the 25¢. Paying these "fines" makes it "legal" for them to do it again and again.
The only good that might come of this is Trump's lawsuit.
Exactly. The amount of the fine is not the relevant issue here. In fact, one might suggest that the size of the fine is designed to keep the whole thing under the radar as much as possible.
But the real scoop of icecream is the fact that the illegality of the behavior is openly acknowledged by this organ. In other words, they cannot deny it, and are forced to acknowledge it.
It's a boom level event. Carpet bombing is all about the thousands and thousands of small bombs that as a whole have an absolutely devastating affect.
True, and praying it goes that way and this isn't just another slap on the wrist that further emboldens them. Hope Trump's legal team is eating their Wheaties.

I believe you've got it right. The fact was that they were legally CAUGHT. Which provides further evidence for other cool stuff coming.
