Rules:

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.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

His Bored of Peace that he's asking $5 billion for a seat that goes straight to his Qatari bank account.

Preparing to flee to another country.

Why would he flee to another country? Nothing has happened to him in the us

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 23 points 10 hours ago

Usually when he's done fucking something that means it's dead so

Plan A is certainly staying in power, absolute power, in the US.

Plan B might be escaping prosecution for corruption, pedophilia, rape, ... but still with a bigliest bank account.

Was he though?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No he isn't.

The last year has proven that the Epstein class is untouchable here in the US. They may have to make some kind of symbolic gesture, like Larry Summers' resignation, but that's all it'll be.

Perhaps ShellMonkey means that they themselves are preparing to flee the US

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Good point. I didn't read it that way.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 1 points 6 hours ago

Nah, I would see it like another commented, plan A is taking over as a full dictator, but failing that he would likely try and run to avoid any punishment.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He's safest in the US, SCOTUS is already bought and paid for.

He might look it, but not feel it. There's a LOT of eyes looking at the big chair and saying "wow Trump is doing a shitty job, I could easily do better if only he'd move out of the way."

[–] Blueliner@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

If that's the case, I say he can have the money and GTFO.
