Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me. I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a 'flight' risk—I'd fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again," Trump wrote.

LOL. This isn’t Trump mocking Fanny Willis. This is Trump’s fantasy!

…share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again,”

LMAO, 50 Shades of orange!

…share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again,” Trump wrote.

I mean, him never been seen or heard from again > $200,000.

I will start a “go fund me” thingy right NOW if trump promises to leave the country forever, once his bond is posted.

Wait, who am I kidding? trump would never keep a promise. That’s too close to being honest.

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Can we crowdfund $200K to never hear from him again?

Imma metaphorically nut in my pants when he gets admitted and the judge revokes bond due to that.

50 Shades of gay?

Not as an insult the the Pride Community but a play on words.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That ought to screw up the already screwed up traffic.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine having your flight cancelled for this.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I would gladly give up my flight for Trump to be arrested.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Authorities in Fulton County are expecting Donald Trump to surrender for his arrest over Georgia election interference allegations sometime Thursday evening.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed flight restrictions around the area above the Fulton County Jail, where the former president is due to appear for processing, from 6:45 p.m. Eastern Time to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday.

As noted by WTOC reporter Shea Schrader on X, formerly Twitter, the reason for the airspace closure around the the jail is because of "VIP movement."

Willis had previously given Trump and the 18 other suspects indicted in her inquiry into alleged criminal attempts to overturn the 2020 election results a deadline of noon on Friday, August 25, to hand themselves in.

Just like the other suspects, Trump will also have his mugshot taken after he surrenders for arrest, the first time he has had a booking photo taken in any of the four criminal investigations the former president has been charged under.

"Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn't matter your status, we'll have a mugshot ready for you," Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat previously confirmed.
