I halfway expect tRump to go on the run and hop a flight to Russia...

in order to escape the eventual arrest coming his way.

Watching Deadline earlier, they were talking about the National Enquirer and all the dirt they've got stashed away, the payments that tRump paid to keep them quiet about his own immorality. Thirty years of criminal behavior is being hidden by the head honcho of the National Enquirer.

It's why I could imagine tRump making a run for it out of the WH and move to Russia in order to escape extradition.

They seemed to insinuate that if it sounds bad, then likely it's much worse than we know.

Protect him and his family, he gives them AF1, with all the top secret gadgets. Vlad need not worry about tRump being competition for his spot, he knows tRump is dumb.

Let that orange fat tub of treasonous lard land wherever - just out of the White House & preferably out of this country.

I don't need or even want blood. I just want sanity restored - and it won't be, until Trump is gone.

If that means he goes to a life on the lam, so be it.

Putin is done with Trump. He has served the purpose already, and is of no further use to Russia. He would be tossed out of the country like last week's garbage.

And for those wondering what beautiful, sunny Norilsk looks like, I encourage you to do a Google image search.

Dangling the possibility of building a T Tower in Moscow was enough to bait him into it. He's useless to them now.

or diving headfirst into a wood chipper. He's not useful (if he ever was) to Putin over there. He'd likely meet the working end of a poisoned umbrella tip shortly on arrival (if his private jet didn't blow up in the air en route).

jet was involved in a minor wing bender on the runway at La Guardia Airport in NY. I believe you called it, he has it warmed up and ready to take off for Russia at a moments notice.
