I thought you had to install the truth social app to see his twoots but apparently not. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump I personally like the automated twoots that seem to pop up on regular intervals asking for money.

I AM GRANDO posted:Has anyone said what he’s getting charged with? If it’s some boring financial poo poo covered by a fine, I’ll be disappointed. Stormy Daniels payoff stuff. There's other indictments still working through the courts but this is one that that's wrapping up now.

Charlz Guybon posted:Trump expects to be arrested Tuesday, calls for protests The likeliest scenario in the case of an actual arrest warrant being issued is that he turns himself in and is immediately released on bond. Same thing happened to Rick Perry in Texas when he was arrested, who turned the PR in his favor (ultimately, the charges were dismissed): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/20/texas-governor-rick-perry-mugshot-indictment-rosemary-lehmberg In any case, you gotta give the guy credit for being the most spectacular loving failure imaginable (go big or go home): two impeachments, a one-termer who lost control of all chambers of Congress, 1/6, multi-year social media bans, and now an actual criminal indictment.

Trump's not leaving the country geez 🙄 Is Trump living in Mar A Lago right now? If he gets indicted he will get extradited to NY? Does that mean cops from NY will have to go to NY to pick him up? I don't know how this stuff works. If so I wonder if that will cause any friction with the authorities in FL who I doubt will want to give him up.

It's Donald Trump. If he tells me he's being arrested on Tuesday by NYC cops I have to check to make sure Tuesday is an actual day of the week and that police exist in NYC.

If someone actually convinced him that he was facing actual consequences he would absolutely flee the country and go on a giant political persecution tour through non extradition countries.

"Don't see how Donnie wriggles outta THIS one!/Oh wait he wriggled free instantly" Mueller rules remain in effect until I see him frog-marched into a van, and I don't think I'll see it. As others said, there's big odds that this is him just hogging a spotlight to reclaim some outsoder cred, or doubling down on claiming some incoming statement or probe will be a prison order. The US system is designed expertly to never really touch anyone past a certain level power/wealth, and donnie still has enpugh lawyers and clout to turn any real stab at him into a years-long morass until he either croaks or gets svaed by a 6-3 supreme court decision. PS- wow, they walked it back in the time it took for me to post! I must be getting slow.

Even if he gets indicted don't expect him to end up in cuffs. Don't expect a perp walk. Maybe there will be a mug shot? I don't know how he will get around that. But I would be surprised if it gets publicly released. Don't expect anything to "humiliate" him. Hes a rich white man and former president there's going to be way too much bullshit "decorum" followed if he even gets indicted at all.

This poo poo is just his brand now. He says it because when he does, his supporters light their tiki torches and call for the blood of the impure to spill while the other side jerks itself raw over the fantasy of him crying and making GBS threads himself in his big baby diaper. Regardless, it's still serving the purpose of getting people to pay attention to him, and if people are paying attention to him, then he can find a way to leverage it into some form of grift and wring out another dollar from some poor rube somewhere.

From the CNN article:quote:Trump's US Secret Service detail would deliver him to the Manhattan district attorney's Office for fingerprinting and then taking mugshots in offices of the district attorney's detective squad. As is customary in cases where a defendant is allowed to voluntarily surrender, after arrest processing, the former president would be brought directly to an arraignment before a judge where he would likely be released on his own recognizance.

I honestly agree. Barring the almost impossible chain of events that sees him being forced to actually face consequences from an indictment, this is basically all upside for him - it keeps his name in peoples' mouths and heads(during a time when DeSantis is trying desperately to become number one chud) and it allows him to rally the base to his defense(read: giving him shitloads of money and/or votes in order to help him defend himself against the deep state). If the US legal system was actually willing to consistently punish the rich for their crimes it would be bad for him, but the system emphatically is not.

Looks like Reagan actually did sabotage the Carter campaign by meeting with the Iranians.The NY Times posted:It has been more than four decades, but Ben Barnes said he remembers it vividly. His longtime political mentor invited him on a mission to the Middle East. What Mr. Barnes said he did not realize until later was the real purpose of the mission: to sabotage the re-election campaign of the president of the United States. The whole article is pretty interesting (albeit fairly long). Well worth a read.
