Trump the Flight Risk Thread

As long as Trump thinks he has ANY chance of remaining President, he will not flee the country. In that way, the past 2 months have been a kind of hidden blessing, as Trump pursued his delusions of reversing the election.

I think Wednesday ends that
Trump Flight Risk Thread 2/8

I think on Wednesday this delusion ends & when Trump 'knows' he will no longer be President after 20 January, he will try to prevent the criminal prosecutions that are slated to follow. And part of that is a pardon of himself (& his kids)
Trump Flight Risk Thread 3/8

We KNOW Trump has been plotting an escape because he even spoke about it late in election at some of his rallies (that he'd like to take an SUV and drive away - what an upbeat 'winning election' message haha, let me drive away!).
Trump Flight Risk Thread 4/8

The logical final destination would seem to be Russia. Manafort's previous despot dictator-kleptocrat client, Yanukovich (another Putin stooge) of Ukraine, fled to Russia where he lives in exile today

But Putin isn't pleased with Trump
Trump Flight Risk Thread 5/8

Probably all close Trumpomobsters had planned 'retirement' in Moscow. And have become frustrated at how clearly Trump caused Putin to abandon Trump (obvious by summer of 2020). So now need other plans: Turkey? Saudi Arabia? UAE?
Trump Flight Risk Thread 6/8

If abroad with asylum, any Trumpomobster will be tried 'in absentia' and convicted. Their assets seized (whatever may remain on US soil like Trump properties) and extradition will be pursued via local courts.
Trump Flight Risk Thread 7/8

And of course their passports will be revoked. So no travel out from the country they selected for asylum (for the rest of their lives). That country's dictator may not SURVIVE and a future regime may send the fugitives back to USA for justice
Trump Flight Risk Thread 8/8

So Trump has to plan carefully. He needs to have ample funds abroad to cover his costs. And he is broke..

His minions are all in limbo. Most def Trump is a flight risk. Even more so his kids & close Trumpomobsters (Barr, Mnuchin, Pompeo, etc)

Post-Trump Career Thread 1/

BTW all GOP politicians who were on national stage in 2016, have developed a 'strategy' to survive the Trumpomess. They KNEW he will burn this down. They've all thought they had the perfect way to have a career beyond Trump. Here are a few examples: Image
Post-Trump Career Thread 2/

Some were Trump friends before his 2015 run for President started, and have remained with him until now. Like notorious serial pants-grabber & alleged attorney Rudy Giuliani.

When I say 'old friends', I mean these are criminals who need pardons Image
Post-Trump Career Thread 3/

Some opportunists jumped onboard early in 2016, but were smart enough to see Trump is setting up a kleptocracy, and JUMPED OFF before the inaugration to avoid all legal stench. Like failed Bond Villain, the Chrischristie Image

PARDON ROULETTE

CHRISTIE: Donald, if you pardon your kids, they'll be forced to testify against you. And they will. You've trained them to be selfish. You know them. They'll bury you. You cannot be this stupid. It'd be the dumbest thing you could do

#PardonRoulette #PardonGate
PARDON ROULETTE

BARR: What idiot suggested these 20 pardons today? Anyone who was involved with you will now be forced to testify against you! Was it Hannity? Don't tell me you're listening to Giuliani again? Hasn't he gotten you into enough trouble?

#PardonRoulette #PardonGate
PARDON ROULETTE

IVANKA: Daddy, don't pardon anyone who is not family. Not Manafort, not Giuliani and gosh, not that vile creep Stephen Miller. The more you pardon, the more there will be investigations. Keep pardons just within the family, Daddy.

I've told the joke a hundred times here on TW that Trump killed the GOP. In reality there is a civil war inside the party. The lunatics (aka SPD caught Sarah Palin's Disease aka Tea Party aka Maganutters) were a growing mess well before Trump (aka... Sarah Palin..)

GOP is sick..
The lunatics are currently running the party. Boehner quit and Paul Ryan quit when they could not handle the lunatics. And with gerrymandering, the more extremist maganutters gained power. The Republican party is now run by the nutters.

It would be VERY healthy for a split
If a Patriot Party were to split out of GOP, it would take roughly half of current Washington DC GOP with it, more on House side, less on Senate side. Rump GOP would become instantly powerless, DEMs would become dominant party. The (Tea) Patriot Party would be genuine third party

Hollywood Writer's End to Georgia Runoff Thread 1/14

This is a SCENARIO. This is not a FORECAST. It is a plausible end. It is one way Georgia Runoff election MIGHT end in a few weeks. If a Hollywood writer (imagine episode of West Wing) did this story. How would it end?

Enjoy
Hollywood End Georgia Runoff Thread 2/14

So first, obviously, I hope we win both seats in the Georgia Runoff, Jon Ossoff @ossoff and Rev Warnock @ReverendWarnock - please support both campaigns. The Senate literally hangs in the balance of Georgia.

My Thread is a hypothetical..
Hollywood End Georgia Runoff Thread 3/14

Secondly Georgia runoffs WILL decide whether Republicans & #MoscowMitch McTurtle can hold onto the Senate. If we win BOTH runoffs, the Senate will be 50/50 split, ties broken by Vice President which will be Kamala Harris

BUT we need BOTH

My speculation on Joe's AG

I think Biden WANTED to announce his AG earlier. I believe he has been forced to reconsider his first choices. For a HORRIBLE reason

I think there is FAR worse criminality INSIDE the DOJ & Government than Biden knew. As Barr was fired, DOJ staffers..
..as Barr was fired, DOJ staffers have suddenly felt more safe to reach out privately to Biden, to warn of the horrid time-bombs ticking inside DOJ - starting with the corrupt Rosenstein now in charge.

Joe has been forced to rethink who would be BEST FOR AMERICA to do that job..
..and here is superbly wild play.

It might be a brilliant idea to nominate a REPUBLICAN as the AG. Obviously NOT in any way tainted by Trump. Think of General Colin Powell. While a Republican, he was always a patriot first (too bad about WMD). Someone like Powell, fair
