Trump Jokes about fleeing to Russia (thehill.com)

(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

This probably isn't of interest in the GA indictment in which Trump is commenting about, but I'd have to imagine Jack Smith is taking notice that a criminal defendant accused of mishandling classified information is joking about flying to Russia. It's plausible that Trump has classified information at other properties. While less plausible as Trump is a total dope, it's technically possible he's got classified information digitized and ready to go with him to Russia. This should be setting off alarm bells everywhere. Anyone else with four major indictments with 91 charges would have been locked up in jail by now.

If he was locked up, his supporters would burn some parts of this country to the ground. I assume that's what is on the government's mind.

Ooh so scary, gravy seals in their depends

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Time to call their bluff.

"Gravy seals" belongs right next to "Y'All Qaeda" as one of those perfectly pitched nicknames that both encapsulates and decimates the right-wing freak show.

Just imagine a charge of them on mobility scooters waving AR-15s. It'll be hilarious.

Now imagine their battle music is Flight of the Valkyries. On kazoos.
