Trump jokes about flying to Russia after bond set in Georgia case
Former President Trump joked about fleeing to Russia after his bond was set at $200,000 in the Georgia case over his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
This might have revoked his bail.

People should be paying close attention to when/if he surrenders at the Fulton County Jail tonight. His demeanor will not likely be anything but fully arrogant and defiant as usual. History saw a man like this in Germany Go to Jail also after attempting a coup with the same attitude in 1923, and he wrote Mien Kampf while in prison. Not that i think Trump will spend a minute in a cell, unfortunately.
TRUMP is emulating EXACTLY the same playbook. Like the other guy he knows his final victory is with roughly half a nation of fascist sympathizers who'll support him NO MATTER WHAT. It's time to be honest with yourself and ask where will all of his cronyism and buffoonery lead to in the next 10 years ? We'd better hope were not where Germany ended up in 1933... https://histoire.museeholocauste.ca/data/timelines/gen/images/large/Chart_NaziPartyRise_ENG.jpg.
It's Quite possible it won't even be Trump, but you can be damned sure it'll be someone inspired by him, There are literally 100''s of millions of them out there...and the NEXT ONE will be even worse.
Not exactly the same playbook. Hitler was much younger when he tried his coup. And I don't think Trump is writing any manifestos, unless he gets put in the same cell with his ghost writer.
If Trump goes to prison, he's old enough that he will likely die there, even with a shortish sentence. And there's a chance that a smarter buffoon takes over the party, but did you see the clown show last night? I doubt any of those has what it takes.
Trump is not the next Hitler, no matter how badly he wants to be. My fear is that the next Hitler is just around the corner, and uses the Trump playbook to come to power.
I'd say i agree he wont be writing any manifestos. He does that in the form of his own public rallies, mass media, television, the internet, and through his sycophants on right-wing radio...His cult of personality is unfortunately very effective with his base.
I'm really hoping his cult of personality dies with him. (Or tries to glom on to Junior, who lacks, well, everything required to make him an effective populist leader).
Of all the people in the Trump orbit, I am most afraid of Jared. He seems to have been smart enough to avoid getting stuck in any of his father-in-law's messes. And he is way, way too close to dictators abroad. I don't think he wants to actually insert himself into politics. But he could end up being the one that finances the next attempt a dictatorship in the US.
I think it's a foregone conclusion that we will be an openly fascist country within the next ten years. I really wish Joe Biden had done more to help the poor and middle class, because it was Obama's inaction on foreclosures that got Trump elected in the first place.
I don't trust that people will reject a fascist as the candidate of change if that person promises to put food on their table and keep a roof over their heads.
That's the problem with Neo-Liberals in a nutshell Joe, and Obama had the power, charisma, and platform to do MORE...to stand up stronger to these crony, corporate-anarchocapitalist, fascist bastards but they didn't. That's why the bloody election will likely go the GOP direction no matter what. The eternal see-saw of reactionary voters who'd rather blame the current guy, with only a fools hope that the next guy they throw their flippant votes at will actually do what they "promise" to. It's a cycle of history that no one ever learns form.
Eugene Debs ran for president from prison and lost (unfortunately.. I think in his case), but Do we really want to know the answer to the question of how close we could come to actually electing an indicted seditious traitor, who is all but sure to be convicted with the avalanche of incontrovertible evidence that we have against him if the damn trail would hurry up and begin. I should hope not, but something tells me we might get a look at it.
