Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Or possibly: "Fuck off, yer wee wotsit Hitler"
He’s such a whiny boy.
Crybaby Trump has been owned by the libs.

I don't think there's anything coming up immediately that demands his presence in court. This is likely just another lie like "I can't release my tax returns because I'm under audit."
Looking at my timeline, the next events are setting a trial date for Sidney Powell, who has requested an expedited trial in Georgia. That could happen as soon as Monday.
Also on Monday, we get a trial date for the 1/6 charges in Washington D.C.
But I don't see Trump being present for either.

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus.
Thank you so much for these running summaries, they genuinely make the whole situation actually followable for a non-American <3
Thanks! It started on Reddit when people kept complaining about hearing the same events over and over with no apparent progress and I was like "Do people not realize we're talking about MULTIPLE investigations here and each one has their own process?"
Guess not... so I wrote it up! Helps me keep track too! ;)
Locking in a trial date for the 1/6 case will be a huge help, then we can just focus on Georgia.
Is he allowed to leave the country while the trials are pending? I would think that would be a big flight risk.
Trump wasn't labeled as a flight risk, even though he should be.
So what's keeping him from traveling abroad? Bail bondsman conditions? Advice from his lawyers?
Advice from his lawyers?
When has that stopped him from doing anything?
Part of being arrested is they confiscate passports. The only way he can enter another country is if they give him asylum
They should promise to give him asylum, then put him in an asylum.
this would require letting him into the country. Not recommended.
Though. if they want him... they can have him.
Maybe for normal people. He didn’t surrender his passport.
I've not heard that he surrendered his passports yet
I doubt they need to physically take his passport. I'm pretty sure that can be revoked by the DoS at any time. Also with how public this is, I doubt any airport would even allow Trump onto the premises at all, for fear of what may happen if they somehow let him escape.
He does have a private jet. It’s not like Trump is going up to the ticket counter at American Airlines and asking for a ticket, then proceeding to go through TSA for an x-ray or a pat down.
That is also true, but he would still have to file a flight plan. Otherwise those pilots might as well get asylum too, they would never fly again in the US if they took off without filing an FAA flight plan.
True, true
The feds did not do this, it was reported. Didn't hear about Georgia, so maybe they did it there.
Scotland doesn’t want him there. Why would they?
He's out on bail in four different jurisdictions. I'm sure one of them has a "no international travel" condition.
What is the saying, if you cannot do the time, do not do the crime?
If you want a vacation, don't insurrect the nation.
Not the consequences of his own actions!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... good.
Dear god... I don't know what I would do if I couldn't fly on my private plane to Scotland to watch the PGA championship!
Yeah, if it could happen to trump it could happen to anyone that endlessly and openly commits crimes!
As is it said by Trump, it is most likely a lie. Safely assume he could go. So probably either there is no PGA championship in Scotland, or he needs the money for his lawyers. Because him being rich is probably a lie, too, I assume it is the second reason.
Awww... so unfair!
He needs to speak to the manager or write a dirty letter.
The manager of Scotland?
Coincidentally, I am the manager of Scotland.
do you have to be good at golf to enter that one
I think they let him watch and play the same course so he can pretend to be a pro.
He pretends to be a lot of things
And here people have been saying he's never had to face consequences before. Behold, he's facing consequences!
And even more, they're consequences he can maybe actually understand!
Woah there partner, hold your horses! You're giving him way too much credit. I believe he's capable of failing to understand just about anything.
Wasn't this clown barred from posting on social media?
He should be allowed to go under the condition that he never returns.
As a Scot, I have to disagree - keep that tangerine bawbag to yourselves.
No, he is your responsibility.
We don't want him thank you.
Fuck no, we're not taking him in.
