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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

I think people are missing the bigger question here:
Would literally any other defendant facing 34 felony counts, unlimited resources, and the ability to flee the jurisdiction at will even be given the opportunity to travel to Florida and/or Minnesota at all? I seriously doubt it.
But hey, it's OK guys. Just keep letting him do whatever the hell he wants to do with no consequences whatsoever, and then wonder why he keeps doing it. The fact that judge after judge after judge refuses to take action against him or, worse, explicitly allow his behavior to continue has absolutely no bearing on him continuing to take a steaming shit all over the judicial system. Really. I swear.
Two-tier justice system
In this case because he can most likely not hide anywhere as he is so famous. Also I don't think his narcissism would not allow him to flee.
He'd still have multiple options:
Fly to one of the many countries he has property in, and drag out the extradition process. Look how many years it's taking to get Julian Assange. Imagine how long Trump can drag it out.
Fly to one of his properties in a country without extradition, if he has any.
Take an offer from one of the many countries out there willing to host him in exchange for what useful information he has.
Putin will probably reward him with all the pussy he wants for the list of US agents he has given to Russia.
Nah. Look at Snowden. Putin basically threw him into some small town, told him to learn russian and have a nice day while a whole bunch of FSB agents walk around town making sure he stays put.
He'll do the same to Trump, especially once he coughs up anything Putin considers useful. And once that's done and Trump becomes more of a problem than he's worth, he'll suddenly develop the same problems with gravity that a lot of Russian agents tend to have at the end of their careers.
You can be a coward and a narcissists. I'm pretty sure he is both.
