    But I also bet $20 that he flees to russia

    Man, I’ve been expecting him to do that since before Biden’s inauguration day.

    Frankly, I’m amazed that so little has happened since Jan 6. By this amount of time after the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler had already been arrested, tried, convicted, wrote his manifesto, and released.

      Yeah, I fully expected him to be on a plane to Russia as Biden was being sworn in, so he could start calling himself President-in-Exile.

        Given what he knows, who he could hurt, and how bad he is at keeping his mouth shut, I would havw thought somebody would have slipped him some polonium tea by now.

          Putin is distracted. Much cheaper, should it come to that, to pay one of the Trump fail-children to smother daddy with a pillow.

        Exactly! That would’ve been the smart thing to do both in terms of protecting himself from prosecution and from playing up the persecuted martyr angle to push the “Biden is illegitimate” narrative and gain even more support from his base, I think.

        I still can’t decide if the fact that he failed to do that is because he was making a mistake, or because his apparent confidence that he wouldn’t actually be held accountable was a more correct assessment of America than mine. The longer all this drags on without an arrest, the more worried I am that it’s the latter!

        Not sure I see what that has to do with what you replied to

        Edited because I’m grumpy right now and my previous comment was needlessly mean-spirited.
