(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

I could see it... Him and Putin launching rockets at their enemies.

Not a joke.

Would that make him ineligible for the presidency?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Doesn't matter how uneligible he is; his people will vote for him.

[-] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Sure, but if he's ineligible, then all that does is split the Republican vote and hand the election to the Democrats on a silver platter. Crisis averted.

I've been hoping for the MAGoo/GOP split since 2015.

I think he has to appear in person for some of the formalities... but otherwise, possibly no?

[-] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

That'd make for an interesting conversation when he shows up. “Welcome back to America, Mister President. You're under arrest.”

Some secret service agents gonna draw the short straw and get sent to Russia

I don't think treasonous defectors get a Secret Service detail

Sorry for the European point of view,but wtf.

A person out on bail joking about fleeing the country would literally mean a direct "go to jail now" card for anyone in any western judicial system I know.

How the fuck is that not happening in the US guys? That's absurd.

Putin has no use for Trump as a free person. At best, he might even use him in some sort of "extradition trade" with the US, after this whole Ukraine war thing blows over.

He may joke about it, but he's not going to do it
