Too bad the mugshots would just be in normal clothes, not jail uniform.

They probably won't do that. Just like NY didn't. Or did you read something somewhere that I haven't seen yet.

They'd just need to check for him at the base of any gradual incline without a handrail.

I want to hear about how the devil went down to Georgia

Honestly at this point, what are the chances he doesn't flee the country?

I mean, how likely is he to dodge four different indictments or come out of these without jail time, especially given that GA, where most of the crimes committed were either on TV, recorded, or have multiple witnesses that probably already flipped, have a minimum five year sentence? And pretty much all of these cases exist this way. It's like he has a fetish for going on TV and confessing to the crime. The 2nd E Jean Carroll case is like perfect evidence of this. I don't even think Tarantino likes feet as much as Trump likes confessing and committing crimes.

His previous plan of becoming president again to force constitutional crisis of how to punish a sitting president was already a Hail Mary. He was going against the guy he lost to already, that guy is now the incumbent and it's rare in modern times incumbents lose, and by nearly any measure, that incumbent has had a very successful presidency. So this was a long shot to begin with.

Then the backup option was another Republican wins and pardons Trump. But that doesn't allow him to dodge Georgia and he can't even be eligible until he's served five years if he loses GA. Also, I suspect that there are few people alive who have ever shared a room with Trump that don't hate his fucking guts, so even if he skates in Georgia somehow doesn't win the presidency and a republican does, where does the pressure come from to pardon Trump? This would effectively be the final nail in his political career. Congress in '18, presidency in '20 along with most of his endorsements, and then lost in '24. And somehow there is going to be a groundswell of political pressure to force someone like DeSantis, who very obviously hates him, to pardon Trump? Doubt it.

So Trump, a very obvious rat is left on a very obviously sinking ship. If I had to guess, he's going to spend the week reaching out to whichever dictators will take his calls and offer them some combo of state secrets and further tweets and videos like "forced to flee thanks to this political witch-hunt by the deep state!!!" in the hopes it continues to destabilize the US and the west in general in exchange for some cushy asylum. My other guess might have been that he really for real tries to ignite a civil war, but after the pithy little crowd that showed to support at the first arraignment, I'm guessing he's given up on that one.

I really hope I'm wrong and his Diet Coke and Big Mac sauce veins don't calcify before he can face justice, but I'm afraid I'm just too cynical when it comes to this asshole to let myself hope.

I assume this is a genuine question? This is a state-level indictment from Georgia and Mr. Trump resides in Florida. Georgia cops can't just go on an extrajudicial joyride across state lines and grab him. That would, unfortunately, be abduction.

In cases like these where a state wants to prosecute someone residing in another jurisdiction, the process generally goes like this:

1. The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
2. The prosecuting state waits for this time limit to lapse
3. The governor of the prosecuting state requests an extradition warrant from the governor of the indicted person's state [^1]
4. If the indicted person's state does not comply within a reasonable timeframe, then the prosecuting state gets the FBI involved
5. If the FBI fails to extradite (very unlikely), then the prosecuting state can pass a default judgement and start following alternative courses of action for causing suffering to the guilty

[^1]: Generally speaking, states are federally obligated to honor each other's extradition requests, though asking nicely still remains the first resort. Gov. DeSantis does have an opportunity to grandstand here, but he's much more likely to drag out the process rather than outright defy it -- pissing off the FBI is something which states try to avoid doing

Trump skis in jeans

Only those that call Georgia home can be tried for treason in that state.

Penalty in Georgia: death, life, or no less than 15 years.

Too low

Basically nil. Both the federal Constitution and Georgia law define treason very narrowly as waging war or giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the US/State of Georgia.

I like GOP candidates who don't get indicted multiple times.

Heh.

Woodkid's "Run Boy Run" would fit well, too.

You better run all day and run all night

And keep your dirty feelings deep inside

And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight

You better park the car well out of sight

Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks

They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box

You better run!
