Photoshop will fix that soon enough. However, I’m not sure I’m really prepared for the flood of memes that will follow …
That’s just because nobody wants to be the one to strip search and give a cavity inspection to Trump.
They probably won’t do that. Just like NY didn’t. Or did you read something somewhere that I haven’t seen yet.
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.
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.
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.
This is one of my favorite comments in long time
Thanks 👍

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis said late Monday that former President Donald Trump and his 18 allies who were indicted on 41 felony counts have until noon ET on Friday, Aug. 25 to turn themselves in or an arrest warrant will be issued.
Why not, you know, fucking arrest them like a normal person?
I swear the Dave Chappelle skit is just proving its accuracy at this point.
I assume this is a genuine question? This is a state-level indictment from Georgia and Mr. Trump resides in Florida. Georgia cops can’t just go on an extrajudicial joyride across state lines and grab him. That would, unfortunately, be abduction.
In cases like these where a state wants to prosecute someone residing in another jurisdiction, the process generally goes like this:
- The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
- The prosecuting state waits for this time limit to lapse
- The governor of the prosecuting state requests an extradition warrant from the governor of the indicted person’s state [1]
- If the indicted person’s state does not comply within a reasonable timeframe, then the prosecuting state gets the FBI involved
- If the FBI fails to extradite (very unlikely), then the prosecuting state can pass a default judgement and start following alternative courses of action for causing suffering to the guilty
Generally speaking, states are federally obligated to honor each other’s extradition requests, though asking nicely still remains the first resort. Gov. DeSantis does have an opportunity to grandstand here, but he’s much more likely to drag out the process rather than outright defy it – pissing off the FBI is something which states try to avoid doing ↩︎
- The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
- The indicted person flees the country
- The end
Much be nice to be rich where you do crime, go anywhere you want, and escape the punishment. No federal no-fly list to be put on because it’s all state charges.
Uh, yeah… I guess? Step 2 is doing a lot of heavy lifting because states can and do extradite internationally. There’s a whole federal office which exists for this specific purpose: the OIA. It’s hardly a “happily ever after” situation to spend the rest of your life far away from home and constantly looking over your shoulders.
the indicted person flees the country
That would work too.
That would, unfortunately, be abduction.
In this case, I’m pro abduction, let’s do that

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis said late Monday that former President Donald Trump and his 18 allies who were indicted on 41 felony counts have until noon ET on Friday, Aug. 25 to turn themselves in or an arrest warrant will be issued.
Willis addressed reporters shortly after a grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 others on 41 counts, including 13 against Trump, of election fraud, racketeering and other charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Other co-defendants include Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official; and Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis, conservative lawyers who pushed baseless claims of voter fraud.
In a statement, Trump’s attorneys Drew Findling, Jennifer Little and Marissa Goldberg said, “The events that have unfolded today have been shocking and absurd.”
“This one-sided grand jury presentation relied on witnesses who harbor their own personal and political interests— some of whom ran campaigns touting their efforts against the accused and/or profited from book deals and employment opportunities as a result,” the attorneys said in the statement.
“We look forward to a detailed review of this indictment which is undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been.”

Just to be sure, how high are the chances of a mass execution for high treason at this point in time?
Too low
Basically nil. Both the federal Constitution and Georgia law define treason very narrowly as waging war or giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the US/State of Georgia.
Georgia and Georgia Tech are pointing at each other “Shoot him!”
He knew what he signed up for
I like GOP candidates who don’t get indicted multiple times.
Heh.
Run donnie run the dogs gonna getcha, run donnie run the dogs is comin’, run donnie run the dogs gonna getcha, run while ya can - run donnie run. (to the tune of run rabbit run, and a one and a two and ready and a play boys… ♫ ♪♪♥
Woodkid’s “Run Boy Run” would fit well, too.
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if you’re taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They’re gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
Sorry donnie… best I can do is next week. We may as well get this started.
