this guy is definitely fleeing the country

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago (4 children)

He can't. He's minded by Secret Service agents

Wasn't there a rumor making the rounds that the Secret Service is actually permeated by right-wing sympathizers? To the extent that they conveniently erased all archived text/digital communications between agents back in Jan 6? Story here

Given that backdrop I wouldn't be surprised if they will be complicit in his escape.

Whenever a conservative bitches about The Deep State I roll my eyes. It has been around for decades and it's on their side. There's a reason Biden changed his security detail.

They are just bragging.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

They're gonna find him stuck halfway through his bathroom window on the 24th

The very best agents too

He'll try it regardless

Fleecing*

Oh wait both fit...

[–] 30mag@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm... that's going to hurt his chances of getting elected again.

[–] milkjug@lemmy.wildfyre.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No way amigo, it's already established by Rs that he can run the country as a convict. By extension he could run the country equally effective from mother Russia. There's still 70 million people that'd vote for that.

There's still 70 million people that'd vote for that.

I don't think so.

[–] themajesticdodo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do you really think he's going to fly to Russia now? He's got so much cash sitting in supporters pockets left and maybe a few years left to take it.

Now if he's found guilty, yeah, I can see him running then rather than go to jail. But not yet.

[–] TTimo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, if only he was a flight risk .. I'd set the bail low to encourage him .. But no
