(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?

I mean, him running away to Russia would split Republicans even more. He'd still have his dedicated followers, but it would cause even more of a fight regarding DeSantis and others.

I'm trying to decide which would be more chaotically beneficial for the rest of us, him going to jail or fleeing.

Their position on Russia is one of the more ridiculous contortions for Trump fanatics. They claim to hate communism and love freedom and yet their daddy sold out to the Kremlin so they have to find ways to act like they wanted us to be Russian apologists all along.

There's no inconsistency in hating communism and loving Putin's Russia, since Putin and today's Russia have nothing to do with communism.

Granted, but I don’t think they can really discern the difference
