Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Or as the officials like to call it....Flight to Avoid Prosecution

He does have a sentencing hearing coming up next month, and saying shit like this is exactly what you say when you want the judge to throw the book at you and make sure you do some jail time.

It is the perfect place for him to write a book - or dictate it to someone who can.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If he goes to jail, he would be going to a solitary wing at Rikers, because that would be the only place where his personal security would be guaranteed. Who would he dictate his book to, the rats?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

He’ll call it ‘My Struggle, My Triumph’.

And have it published with a block white text on a solid red cover. You know, to appeal to his readers who’ve been preconditioned via the red MAGA hats.

So do you think he'll go to Russia or Saudi Arabia?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Surprise 3rd option, Egypt. Safe bet is Russia though, he has a long standing relationship there and the MAGAts haven't realized yet that the moment they aren't useful to Putler anymore they'll be tossed in a gulag.

Egypt! I’d love that for him! Because chances are high he’ll be abducted by ISIS who will slowly starve him to death and release the progress on video. If that happens I’ll have to stock up on viagra

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Doesn't he still owe a russian oligarch nearly a billion dollars though? I mean, without success, and without money, that is probably that last place he would want to be.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

N Korea. Don't you remember all those lovely letters between him and Kim? If he goes to Russia he has to live in Putin's shadow, but in N Korea he can have his bromance and live like a king.

Until he gets on Kim's nerves anyway.

Shocked he's not going to Argentina with the rest of his kin

And guess what role model also said they planned to flee to Venezuela if they lost the war with Ukraine, Putin. The fun part was that he had to still attack Venezuela as it's part of his fake immigration story, but it would magically be better than the US by the time he lost.

Maybe the $2B that the Saudis invested with Kushner has something to do with it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Maybe he has a certain very specific set of documents hoarded? Documents that have red lettering on the front cover that may spell the words “TOP SECRET”? Perhaps those will serve as a form of protection and leverage?
