Former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen of his associates with election fraud, racketeering and other charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
I wonder how many people will actually show up? God, I want to wake up on the 25th and read an article about how there’s a manhunt out for Trump because his lawyers dragged him down to Georgia and then he ditched them after pretending he needed to piss.
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.

They’d just need to check for him at the base of any gradual incline without a handrail.
And I just choked on my coffee. Thanks.
You’re not wrong. Lmfao.
I want to hear about how the devil went down to Georgia
Removed by mod
He was in a bind, cause he wanted to undermine.
He wasn’t willing to make a deal.
He said "I know you run the show down here, but give the devil his due…
I’ll bet a toilet of gold against your soul that I can intimidate you"
wipes a tear
Poetry.
