    How about a place where he can play golf, but has a minder with a cattle prod who jabs every time he tries to cheat? :spock:

    The punishment for treason is execution.

    Nah. I've got a better idea: Ascension Island. "Why?" you may ask. I'll tell you why.

    First, the second shittiest job in the British Navy was being stationed at St. Helena to keep watch over Napoleon. The shittiest job was being stationed on Ascension Island. The saying went that St. Helena was a rock, while Ascension Island was a cinder. Its primary uses today are scientific research, a refueling station, and military bases. The island also boasts what is sometimes called the worst golf course in the world.

    Additionally, the only other prisoner to be exiled there was some Dutch guy who was guilty of sodomy.

    Our first President wasn’t above something like that.

    OK, Ascension Island then, but the minder carries a Klingon pain stick instead of a cattle prod. Deal? :waiting:

    Only source I truly trust 100%. Trump done fucked up, big time. Joe Friday, folks. He does address some questions though. The just of it is that the President can’t just wave a magic wand and declassify something. I’ve known that for years. Even if he/ she could, doesn’t mean they’re allowed to have secrets that they’re not supposed to have even if they knew those secrets when president. Second big take away; the judge who signed the warrant was basically picked at random. Nothing political about it. In my opinion, very smart. Third thing; Fox News pundits are wrong about their legal analysis. In my opinion, again, shouldn’t have fired the Judge. My opinion again, Judge Janeene may have been a good Judge, but she’s no Joe Friday when it comes to shit like this. I’ve always felt that way. Lastly; he doesn’t agree with some of these laws, state’s rights and all of that, but the law is the law , so here we are. Yeah, not looking good.

    Line breaks. Use them.

    If only on the coke you must be doing to write like this.

    Glad you're able to see why what Trump did is bad, though. Perhaps keep doing the coke.

    You could have just left it at Red Bull.

    Though I once got to the point with that stuff that it didn't actually affect me. Not one can, anyway.

    Evidently there's a 2nd Trump related warrant out not having to do with Mar a Largo that still remains sealed. The DOJ admitted to it in a FOIA request.

    It shouldn’t take a FOIA request. They should be forthcoming with everything if they don’t want it to be seen as political.

    Googling "Why would you need a second passport?" brings up some crazy QAnon stuff right off the bat, so I'm curious as to whether there IS a good reason.

    Assuming Trump doesn't just have a backup copy of his US passport, what nation issued his second one?

    They're supposed to be as discreet as possible while conducting investigations, lest they undermine the reputation of folks that haven't been charged with anything.

    Remember when Comey made a big public announcement about a minor development in the investigation into Hillary's emails that ended up resulting in nothing, just days before the 2016 election? A lot of people saw that as politically motivated interference, especially considering how narrowly she ended up losing. :async:

    Grand juries are by definition secret until they either serve a warrant or send out indictments. Why do all the right wingers not know basic facts? Oh, right, that's what makes them on the right.

    Apparently one passport was expired, the other was a "special issue" passport that ex=presidents get and the third was his current passport. They may have been seized under the terms of the second (sealed) warrant citing flight risk. If that's the case we're gonna need a bigger tub of :corn:

    No way to know, but it's sufficient that he was under grand jury investigation to take his passports, per 22 CFR 51.60 clause 6

    I doubt the Russians would take him. The usefulness of this useful idiot is probably at an end. :chris:

    He can still cross the border, but I'm sure he's being watched like a hawk.

    That sounds like a blatantly political move on the part of hypocrites that would set a bad precedent and backfire. :bergman:

    No idea how much stock to put into this. Happened across it on facebook. But, to quote Fisherman’s Worf, Fucked up, if true.

    ETA: Didn’t realize the caption didn’t copy over. This is supposed to be a clip from Bob Woodward’s news book “Rage”.

    It's true. It's Bob Woodward's book. I posted a Guardian article about it yesterday.

    The Russians would totally take him.

    -Biden and his successors would be forever concerned about whatever classified information Trump might possibly remember and share with Putin, even if it's just the sound of a microwave up there.

    -The Deplorables would wholeheartedly embrace the concept of the Trump family and their allies as the true American Royal family currently in exile, issuing their own laws and directives from Moscow for the gullible to follow at their own risk. You thought Confederate money was annoying, just wait until idiots start trying to pay for beer with Trump bucks.

    -Putin kept Steven Seagal, so the bar is obviously low.
