    Well, the US famously don’t like immigrants, so I’m sure the fine boys from ICE will sort him out.

    What?

    What do you mean it doesn’t matter because he’s rich?

    Well, that’s an oddly unprincipled stance to take. So, perfectly good foreign nationals will low net worth will be incarcerated but literally the devil himself would not if he had wealth?

    Yes I know who Elon Musk is…

    If Dems win in a landslide house and Senate I forsee Trump fleeing on his Saudi gifted plane to Saudi Arabia

      lol if dems win they’ll shrug and let it all go so the country can “heal”. Same thing happened after Watergate and Iran Contra. Rich people don’t face consequences here

        You are behind the times. The Dems are making lots of plans to investigate MAGAs when they take over the House and Senate. Jeffries has already set up several committees, assuming he remains Speaker (I hope he gets replaced). The House Dems just released their report on Trump’s involvement in the Epstein Files, signaling that it will be a primary investigation.

        After Jan 6, I argued with MANY who said there would be no justice for the Insurrectionists, and yet, step by step, they eventually imprisoned well over 1000 Traitors. Trump later pardoned them, but the fact remains that those who assumed the Dems would do nothing were entirely wrong.

        And they’re wrong about this as well. I just watched an interview with a Dem member of Congress who said that we absolutely cannot go back to the old ways of doing things, if we expect to regain the trust of the rest of the world. He said we have to make major systemic changes, and rebuilding after MAGA gives us the perfect opportunity to remake the government properly.

        Your wish that MAGA gets away with their crimes will not come true.

      Saudi Arabia is not very happy with being ignored when they asked for help to fight the Houthis. Twice. Moreso after all the “investment” they did into trump’s close circle

    Wait until he plays “President in Exile” in the US until Trump installs him back home, Venezuela-style.

    It blows my mind just thinking this guy almost won the presidency of the second biggest country of the continent. Two days ago he was voting and lecturing about democracy.

      Ok. I can’t figure out what you mean by “second biggest.” At first I assumed you meant “America” as the continent, rather than “South America,” since Brazil is the biggest country in the latter by quite a wide margin (it’s about four times the size of Argentina). But Brazil is the third largest Pan-American country after Canada and the US. So, ok, you must have a different definition in mind. Second-largest in the Southern hemisphere, maybe? But Brazil is bigger than Australia, by a million square kilometers.

      Second-largest…uh…country with a large part of its mainland in UTC-3? (After Canada.) Second-largest country from which you can draw a direct line to Antarctica? (That one might be debatable, actually.) Second-largest country whose Northern border is closer to Canada than it is to its Southern border? (After the US, and yes, that’s true.)

      I need answers!

        I’m pretty certain South Africa is bigger than Brazil perhaps at second biggest country in the Southern hemisphere?

          Not even close. South Africa is like an eighth the size of Brazil. Australia is significantly bigger than South Africa, too, though slightly smaller than Brazil; and Angola, Peru, a good chunk of Congo, and Argentina are all (a) South of the Equator, (b) bigger than South Africa, and © smaller than Australia.

    Criminals used to flee America. Now we’re importing them and giving them government jobs. I hate this timeline

      We’ve always collected them. The Shah, Batista, Santa Anna, the police chief who executed a prisoner in Saigon, President Thieu, that dumb woman who thought she would get put in power in Venezuela if she gave Trump her Nobel Peace prize.

      We almost had Napoleon I too (that would have been pretty cool though)

      Idi Amin spent the last couple of decades of his life in Saudi Arabia. I can’t think of anything that Saudi Arabia has in common with Russia …
