Brave, brave Sir Robin.
- Bravely ran away away

I'll proudly watch him go to jail.

Had to edit this comment. There's more!
Edit number 2 below!
Edit number 3 below!
Here's the arrest list so far:
Cathy Latham, 5'2" 155 lbs
Scott Hall, 6'0" 235 lbs
John Eastman, 5'7" 160 lbs
David Shafer, 5'5" 150 lbs
Kenneth Chesebro, 5'11" 185 lbs
Ray Stallings Smith III, 5'11" 195 lbs
Rudolph Giuliani, 5'11" 230 lbs
Sidney Powell, 6'0" 170 lbs
11 12 13 more traitors to go, less than 3 days left.
- Can someone convert these to Courics? That's the natural unit for pieces of shit anyway
  
  Couric? Couric who?
  Surely not very thin ice Couric?
  
  I don't think Bono has anything to do with this
- Omg actual height and weight data on Trump tomorrow?
  With or without the lifts and diaper?
  
  They won’t make him take off his stilts.
- Hah everyone has been so fixated on getting his weight that I forgot that we also get his true height without the shoe lifts. What a day.
- Somebody said that they go off your id but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
- Dave Shafer at 5' 5" and 150 lbs? How is that even remotely close?
- RIP Razor Ramon 😭
- Damn, Kraken woman is tall.
- Who's out there with the Scott Hall bod?

So what's the Secret Service procedure on having someone they're protecting be booked in a State Court system?
- I doubt it ever happened before, so whatever the policy will be, it's going to be brand new
  
  They would go with him. Statute is clear, it's for life.
- They enter a cognitively dissonant state until their heads explode.
- Oh man I feel bad for the sucker whose job it is to watch over trump in prison.
- Not law enforcement. I'd assume that they'd come to some arraignment with the Correction Officers before hand.
  
  come to some arraignment
  Not sure if that was intentional but it works well either way haha

I still think he's going to pull some stunt. He's incapable of just simply obeying something like this.
- The stunt is going to be after the booking, when he holds a press conference and says stupid shit which would revoke anyone else's bail agreement, but he will continue to get a pass because his followers are a dangerous cult.
  
  I think you're right. As much as it galls me, he'll suffer no consequences because he has millions of armed angry followers. One speech from him might actually start a civil war.
  Fuck rupert murdoch and fox news for ratcheting up the rhetoric over the years to keep their viewers scared, angry, and glued to their TVs. And fuck right wing talk radio for doing the same thing.
  
  The court has some reasons that benefit justice, and not trump, to lean hard toward “push ahead and avoid extra drama.” Trump wants to delay everything and make himself the victim. Letting him push the envelope here and there deprives him of what he ultimately wants.
- After Covid he planned on wearing a Superman logo. He’s definitely thinking of a way to show off. Maybe arrive in prison stripes and claim the prosecutor demanded it?
  
  Some of the other clowns in the circus might pull a stunt like that, but Trump is the Whiteface, the clown that emphasizes pride and arrogance.
  He would never allow himself to do something that he thinks will look bad. Not to say his bungling incompetence doesn't do that for him, it's just that he won't do it as a conscious choice.
  Clowns are somewhat interesting.the Whiteface is the know-it-all straight man, and the Auguste is the bumbling doofus who is the butt of every joke. The Auguste is the first to get a pie in the face. You laugh at the Auguste.
  The Whiteface on the other hand is the person telling you who to laugh at. They tell the mean jokes to get the audience to laugh at others. This makes it so much more satisfying when the Auguste finally hits the Whiteface with the pie.
  Anyway Trump couldn't tell a joke if his life depended on it, but he still fills the role of Whiteface in this circus. He'll pull stunts, but only if he thinks it will make someone else look bad.
- He’s playing this up like he’s the victim.
- Any attempt to flee and a pair of fully armed F-22s will bring them back. Trump's plane is being tracked.

We will be proud to see him arrested.

I don't recall Trump ever doing or saying anything without some element of egomaniacal pride, boasting, or grandstanding. He should get the opportunity to rot in a prison cell while endlessly showing up in court and being returned to said prison cell.
- "I'm the most arrested president in the history of the world, EVER!" - Trump probably

This more than anything makes me feel like he might actually flee. He always says the opposite of the truth, like when he said that he won the election.
- He can't. The Secret Service are assigned to him. They're not just bodyguards...
  
  The same secret service that tried to lure Mike Pence into a car to remove him from the Capitol?
  The same secret service that Mike Pence said "if I get in that car I know I'm not coming back?
  The same secret service that had to be completely rotated after Biden took office because there was a legitimate threat to Biden?
  The same secret service that deleted their phone records after January 6th?
  Yeah I'm sure they're all in the good and none of them would defect with Trump
  Edit: oh, And there's this article that was posted to c/politics about half an hour ago

- Not when it has to do with his pride/ego.
  If he is telling his supporters being arrested is a point of pride, he will go in and be arrested, and hell make comments while he does.

Pride goeth before the fall

Someone just needs to jail him
- I wish, but I think some of his more... enthusiastic supporters would get violent.
  I imagine that the Federal and Georgian governments want to avoid a horde of people rioting and trying to free him from jail. There would be assholes just itching to open fire on "the deep state" and you'd need the national guard to defend the prison/jail. Even if the trumpists started it, such a thing might actually spark a civil war.
  
  They’re already violent, and getting more so. Appeasing them isn’t going to make them suddenly behave.
  
  If you don't do the right thing because you're afraid of bad actors, then the bad actors have won. I'm afraid of violence, too. But if the courts find him guilty on a charge that leads to incarceration, then he should be held to the same standard.

  Atlantan here. Bring it on; I don't give a shit. We can arrest all the Cobb County MAGA terrorists too, while we're at it!
  
  They can all go to jail with him.
  
  I just had a thought. . . Put trump in jail as bait. . .. let his followers come to "rescue" him. . . . Let them experience the American military power that they love so much. . . I don't think their AR-15s are going to be much help vs tanks and helicopters and satellites, etc
  
  Let them get violent… we need to speed this shit up and have the civil war already before another GQP president had control over the military. Sure, people are gonna die… but it won’t be anyone on the left.
  #consequences 🤪

Trump puts on an act, but I think this breaks him

And I will proudly laugh my ass off when the traitor shitcunt is imprisoned.

💀
- Can't say that any of those things you listed someone should be ashamed of, but maybe not proud of them either.
  Fwiw, Trump either genuinely believes he's done nothing wrong, or he needs his fans to believe it, so him saying this kinda tracks.
  I guess there's a reason pride is a deadly sin
- I get your point but I don't think anyone should be ashamed where they're from, per se. I have no power over where I'm born.
  
  Just because you shouldn't feel proud of something doesn't mean you should be ashamed of it, and I don't think they're implying one should be. I'm not proud that I have a nose, but I'm not ashamed I do either; I just have one.
  
  💀
- Does that mean you can't be proud to be black, proud to be gay etc as well?
- This is literally the only reason he didn't use "strongly".
