What is really notable to me is the post is 100% what I believe he has been thinking all along. I have watched this dude and his lies are transparent. Going way back when he first got in office and started bitching about how voting is rigged. He was already setting up his plan to not ever leave office. Even showing so clearly when he admired Putin for changing the Russian constitution to remain in office. I hate him, believe me!! But one thing he is not, is stupid. His total plan is and always was to ensure his narcissistic self remains in power, playing chess 7 moves ahead of our legal system, PACs and his trust in the stupidity of the ill educated right wing rubes (formerly known as the Tea Party), of which there are so many. ...now known as MAGAts who think he will save them from socialism (of which they have zero understanding-it's a word they heard was bad, but they really don't know why).

That always typing Russia, Russia, Russia three times. I'm beginning to think that might be a symptom of some mental defect.

It was a joke meme based on "Marcia Marcia Marcia!" but as with "Let's Go Brandon!" whenever the conservatives come up with a "funny" they have to beat it to death.

It's about time measures were implemented to prevent him from fleeing.

Nah. Just implement measures to prevent him from ever coming back.

Trump doesn't joke. He has no sense of humor. He just spouts exactly what he means, like some form of fascist grifter Tourettes, then tries to wave it off as joking when he's called on it.

He basically confessed he's a flight risk. Lock him up now.

I think someone who is more clever and knows how to write snark wrote that for him. It's too grammatically correct, in some ways too coherent. I actually understood it was sarcasm immediately, so clearly he did not write it.

His bail is not much higher, because we want him to leave. Go. Far, far away. Don't call, don't write.

I'd prefer he paid for his crimes first. He can leave after that if he's still alive at 150 years.

I have suspected this all along--that if things got too hot for our wannabe dictator, he'd try to run away to Russia in the hopes that they wouldn't deport him. And even though Putin doesn't give a shit, I predict he'll give Trump sanctuary solely to spite NATO. Then Trump will bum around Moscow, desperately trying to get a meeting with Putin, continuously being told his imaginary boyfriend is too busy, tomorrow maybe, check back then.

And then one day he'll finally be ushered into Putin's presence. It'll be everything he dreamed--big smiles and handshakes. They'll sit next to one another in club chairs, sipping traditional Russian Caravan tea--Putin will even teach him the classic method of straining it through a sugar cube held by the teeth, and they'll laugh like school children at Trump's clumsy first attempts!--and maybe a few tea cakes.

Then Putin will sit back with a sigh, and tell his friend--his dear, dear friend, whom he hasn't clapped eyes on in all the years that Trump has even been in Russia, but really, a very valued companion--that he has some bad news for him. He's been watching the news, yes? Trump hasn't, but he lies and says he has, because he doesn't want to seem uninformed. Well, then he knows that the long war in Ukraine has finally ended, and Russia has come to terms with the West. And--here he sighs again--part of the terms is that Trump is going to be extradited back to the US.

But, but you promised! Trump protests. Putin shakes his head sadly, puts his cup down and stands up. Let's be civilized about this, yes? he asks as the doors open and security guards come in. Trump continues to protest as the take him by the arms and lead him away. The last glimpse he has of Putin is his beloved friend seated behind his desk, busily attending to paperwork, not paying attention at all.

Trump will be immediately loaded onto a plane bound for the US. He'll be sandwiched between Russian military officers who refuse to speak with him, and wear their sidearms prominently. There's a brief stopover at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Just long enough for Trump to be transferred from the Russian plane to another unmarked one. He's greeted by Secret Service agents. They won't answer his questions, but they're cooly polite.

The closer they get to DC, the worse Trump's mental health will get. In the end, he collapses on the tarmac at Dulles. He's rushed to the hospital, but it's too late. Donald Trump, 45th President and Notorious Bail Jumper, dies of heart-related complications.

The only person of note at his sparsely attended funeral is Jimmy Carter.

I'd have been fine if the sugar cube had been laced with polonium.

Why waste it on the likes of him?

It's cheaper than those flights.

I can only hope he flees to Putin's tender embrace. How long will it take after that for Putin to take care of him permanently? I'd give it a month.

Tea? Window? Why not both?

Pretty sure OHJB would be secretly delighted :) The way he publicly ignores TFG leads me to believe The Prez regards Dump as sh*t on his shoe.

As for the MAGA base, lighting their hair on fire and scream-dancing to 'Macho Man,' would be fun, but "I really don't care, do u?" to quote an eminent wit

Pooty’s reign really knocks me out

I’ve left that jail behind

Tucker’s kisses make me sing and shout

That Georgia's never on

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my mind

I'm back in the U.S.S.R

You don't know how lucky you are, boy

Back in the U.S

Back in the U.S

This works with BOTH places named Georgia.

I hope they bring this up during the arraignment and make him turn in his passports.

First let Trump leave the U. S., THEN cancel his passport.

I guess this now makes him a flight risk. Best to lock his traitorous ass up.

Last night, I read that medical researchers are working on growing penises in the lab for guys who’ve lost theirs in war, accidents, or pathological masturbation.

This is wonderful news for the afflicted, but I have to wonder if we don’t have enough dicks already.

Having just returned from the future, we have for you today an exclusive image of Trump's first day in prison.

He's learning he can't just push all the same buttons he's used to...

I don't know whether or not he's learning. I think he's going to learn if and only if he is sanctioned in a fashion which renders him unable to call upon his minions to fix the issue - like imprisonment.

I do hope it happens - it will utterly destroy him. He will start by raging at everything, expecting it to cause people to cower, and will (hopefully) learn that all that wins him is indifference from guards....not even abuse from other inmates, bc he'll be isolated. He will break utterly without adulation or lickspittle sycophantry. and while it will place him in considerable psychological pain and distress, that's a risk I'm willing to take.

I think America could indeed live with that.

All he had to do was sit in his trash tower in Manhattan laundering Russian mob money. But, no, he had to let Obama get under his skin at the WHPC dinner.

Thanks, Obama!

Which one? I’m not sure I’ve seen it (I avoid video, preferring text).

That seems like it would be a rash move on the Orange Grundle's part. He's got nothing anybody wants anymore. Putin knows he would be virtually useless as trade bait. No country is going to give Putin a cent to have trump in their midst.

Like Putin wants Snowden 2.0 to deal with.
