DeSantis scares me more than Trump does. He's every bit as evil, but actually competent.
mmmmeh. you need a cult of personality to get trump numbers, desantis isn't going to gather a trump cult of personality because he's a grumpy dickhead who isn't entertaining in the least. chuds need trump's "humor" to hide behind, "it's just a joke, bro" is a gigantic part of the chud playbook and trump, being objectively funny either on purpose or by accident, is a lot of what makes him bulletproof. they used to refer to nixon as "charming" and "funny" too despite the fact that he was a bitter old toad who took pleasure in other people's pain....hey that sounds like trump!

yeah but like it's not half cocked. one tenth of the evidence alone would get any one of us life in prison and that's just the stuff we've seen live and trump has admitted to. if you or i went on national television and said "yeah, i broke a few laws..." there'd be police cars parked inside our collective asses in minutes.

There is a non-zero chance that the plane just heads out over the Atlantic for Russia.

It's small, but larger than the chance of say, a political hijacking on a commercial flight doing the same thing, so not vanishingly small.
if trump were capable of that he wouldn't be trump.
trump will go, and do, whatever he's told or whatever he's done before. he wouldn't think to flee because he doesn't think that far ahead and doesn't have the ability to find out how to do that.
he's been in a tiny cage he built for himself his whole life and he has no idea how to get out because of inertia, laziness, and in general a smooth brain.

Depending on who he was meeting with, it may have been for show/it was a jovial atmosphere and he didn't want to ruin it, and the person who brought in the diet cokes was fired shortly after the meeting lest the other staff think that Trump thinks they're actually people.
this. trump is very much a "if i'm not happy no one is happy" person. very performative. "cokes for everyone!" to signify that everything is well and people are laughing and it's a good time! to reinforce that if you keep him happy everyone will be happy so you better keep him happy. it's all theater because trump is the least genuine person ever. everything he does is for show

I think the more interesting question is :

Pretty much all bail is dependent on the person not doing additional crimes, right? So far all the indictments have been for crimes in the past, but what happens when Trump does a crime?

He's going to do a bunch of crimes, we can take that as a given. He seems to judge exude them, and he has ample incentive to do more now. So the next time he gets his hand caught in the cookie jar, is a judge actually going to revoke his bail or is the entire might of the US Justice System just passing out wolf tickets?
we already saw this during the alex jones case. the prosecution will show pictures of the judge burning in hell that he made, he'll shrug and say it was metaphorical, and the judge will wag their finger gently again ad again. and, if you complain about this blatant glad handing, you'll be accused of being a bloodthirsty monster wanting nothing less than execution and 'round and 'round we'll go until i say something that gets labeled "doomer" and i get a probe while trump judge gently shakes their fist and politely asks trump to put down the gun or else they'll be forced to politely ask again.

I was going to post that GA voting system story myself and agree that, reading it, it seems like a huge loving deal even though I'm not sure what the actual charge would be. Attempted election fraud?

I get in debates with folks from time to time who claim that 1/6 wasn't an insurrection but a protest and I ask them "protesting what?" followed by "OK, so what were they going to do once they got into the capitol? What was the plan? The goal?"

I can't see it as anything other than "overthrow the vote" at best and "draw and quarter Pelosi and Pence" at worst. Or some combination of the two. Overthrowing democracy is a practical definition of an insurrection and it doesn't need to succeed in order to be defined that way.

The other thing I stress, when they whatabout me with BLM and Antifa is that those people were protesting things that actually happened. Nazis in the streets and cops killing unarmed citizens and getting away with it. Those things are real. 2023 election cheating is not.
the goal of the plan to invade the capitol and murder everyone opposed to them installing trump in the white house was to protest
the goal of the people marching in the street where a terrible tragedy occurred that could and should have been prevented is to overthrow the united states government
