(38,427 posts)....If Trump escapes to Russia for good, then the plane might do it. (and don't think that Donnie boy has not thought of that one)
..........but could Donnie baby do that to the.... "Trump Name?"....I don't know...What do you think?

(10,885 posts)Pootie has no need nor use for him any longer, and he'll just be a nuisance. There would be no value to Pootie to have TFG there.

(16,399 posts)I said before the election that Pootie would have no further use for TFG once he was out of office. I still think so.
InstantGratification
(158 posts)Now I've changed my mind. He is STILL causing discord, division and chaos here, so he still has value to Pootie right where he is. As soon as his influence wains and the world moves on, THEN Pootie will cut him loose.

10. Ivory Coast
9. Senegal
8. Kazakhstan
7. Cape Verde
6. Bahrain
5. Oman
4. Saudi Arabia
3. Kuwait
2. Qatar
1. China
Of these, Saudi Arabia would probably be most to his liking...all that "majesty" and pomp/circumstances that TFG so sloppily admires. Possibly also, Kuwait and Qatar for similar reasons.
The real question is not where he would choose to go, but "Who would take him and his criminal family?"

(7,839 posts)breaking news of the mountain of evidence of a coup attempt
apparently only mildly news worthy stuff for the Majors. But if it were a Democratic President trying a coup..and trying to cover it up
all in the open. The coverage is disgusting, or lacks thereof.
Getting so obvious
but why?? Why are the Majors so afraid to tell America the truth?
Cha
(297,232 posts)a TV anymore for a long time now.. and I figured as much.
That's what they do since I stopped watching in Nov 2002.
Whatever outlet that is hiding this story is like "fox".. they want the Bloated Traitor back in power.. why else would they be like fox?
Adn, you're right.. if it were a Dem it would be like what I heard "Whitewater" was like.. or Pres Obama's Tan Suit.. only worse of course.

(7,839 posts)national news leading with semi news and always ending with fluff
few minutes of news, many minutes of ads and more minutes of fluff.
Its obviously not news, never was, its national mind control.

(297,232 posts)the Magats who are blaming it on the Dems.
The "Majors" as you say should be POUNDING TFCG 24/7 with the Reality of what he did to Overthrow the American Government.
I long for the days of Edward R Murrow and Walter Cronkite.

(51,129 posts)Is MSNBC the press? Is every journalist the press? They are not all the same.
and 'the press' today is a lot more partisan. OBJECTIVITY has flown out the window. A real journalist doing the grunt work? No more.

(8,294 posts)Of the networks controlled by one of the following companies which often carry a general message and feed off of each other in promoting a similar narrative.
Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA)
Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS)
AT&T (NYSE:T)
ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC)
Sony (NYSE:SNE)
Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA) (NASDAQ:FOX)
Tommymac
(7,263 posts)These companies need to be broken up so that they can't so easily be lumped in with each other as "the press." Until then, the press functions as a small handful of large entities with a single goal that works to benefit themselves as opposed to the general public.

(1,336 posts)saying "Yes, Mr. President, I'll see what I can do", or "let me check on that, Mr. President". In other words, Pence NOT telling his President that what he's suggesting is unconstitutional.
There are probably several incriminating emails between the 2 of them.

(16,399 posts)They probably met and became friendly somewhere along the line through both being involved in the Indiana GOP political scene . If you're not sure of your powers as VP, who better to call than your back home buddy who once held the same office and also had to certify an election he and his potus had just lost.
It's really not all that far-fetched.

(32,083 posts)He's trying to cover his own ass, and trying to distance himself from the Trump mob as the walls close in on them. Just like he did when he consulted with Mr. Potatoe Head before the coup attempt. He was trying to cover his own bases in case it all failed.
