I dunno, self exile, and being forever a fugitive felon would be cheaper than a trial with guaranteed outcome. Hard to deny you are Puttin lap dog when you are crashing on his couch.
No way Trump survives in Russia long term. He would have an adoring crowd for a few months, maybe a year. Most likely at the threat of bodily harm more than them liking him. Then the crowds thin because he has outlived his usefulness. A new leader for the party has been found. He cannot golf all the time. He can never return to the states. He likely cannot even leave Russia. Slowly he becomes a shell of the man he once was, yelling “Make America Great Again” into a mirror. Then one day he falls out a window, completely by accident. He tripped on the power cord there, or the CIA did it. Thats best case.
Worst case is Russia doesnt even let him in knowing it would further turn the West against them. Furthering their resolve to support Ukraine. Or worse dragging NATO into the war.
I love MARTA. I also know it has its problems. As a neighbor from a nearby small city, I don’t even have a business stop within 5 miles of my house. I love being able to take MARTA all over place in Atlanta with a day pass.
It really does. As in… we know you’re not going to be able to resist threatening jurors and will have to forfeit this bond so we’ll give you a nice low bond.
Feels a bit ridiculous.
Even low-balling Trump’s supposed wealth, that’s like setting bond for the average person at $7.50.

It’s definitely worth considering.
The judge knows he’ll show up because he can’t resist an audience.
Imagine Trump getting elected while living in exile in Moscow. I just threw up in my mouth.

His secret service agents would have to be in on it. Not out of the realm of possibility, but him skipping wouldn’t be that easy.
AND he gets elected.
Let’s just up it to 2M so we can fund MARTA.

You do know that the state doesn’t keep the money unless the defendant skips out on court, right? It’s not just money they can use for stuff.
