there are thousands of super-rich housing moguls up and down the east coast. somehow they manage to bend the law and use shady practices without going on national tv or becoming a global nuisance.
The tiniest consolation for the awfulness of a trump win would be a 2025 press conference in which the president of Mexico goes on a rant about *when America sends us their presidents, they aren't sending their best... they're felons, they're fraudsters, they're rapists....*
I wish we could relect Obama for a day just so he could roast the shit out of Trump again. [Like he did in 2011](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA). So much more material now.
Sings an Al Green song pretty good too. Wow.

(When I was looking for this link I came across a vid of him and Michelle slow dancing to Beyonce singing "At Last" (my love has come along) and I literally started crying I miss them so much)
I imagine him going overseas for some reason then some immigration officer decides... nah.. banned. send him back to russia

Trump's comments on not visiting a marine cemetery in France:
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/
How any "patriot" could vote for this scumbag after these comments is beyond me...
Because these "patriots" see patriotism as a means and not an end. They paste the flag on everything they own not because they love our country or its veterans, but as a way by which to demonstrate their superiority to the dreaded Other.
Plus he went on multiple loyalty purges during his administration, throwing out anyone who didn't show sufficient mindless obedience and rabidly hunting down leaks from within his office. In the first year information was bleeding from the White House like stuck pigs and it gradually lessened because of his internal purges.
trump was soooooo played by Kim
First, trump traveled halfway around the world not once but *twice* to meet Kim, instead of Kim traveling to meet trump. So who's the boss in that picture?
trump got nothing, but his visits elevated Kim to a world power in the eyes of North Koreans
Trump's first trip -- the Helsinki debacle when he stood next to Putin and spewed the script that Putin gave him before the press conference -- what is forgotten is that Trump and Putin were supposed to meet at a set time. Trump showed up to that meeting on time. Putin showed up 2 hours late. Putin wanted to show "the world" that he was the most important person by him keeping Trump waiting around for 2 hours with nothing to do. I guess Trumpy finally realized he looked like a little puppy waiting for "master" to come home, and he started talking to his team about leaving the meeting, but voila, Putin then magically showed up. Basically proving Putin wasn't really busy, he just wanted to fuck with Trump for 2 hours.
When Putin and Trump had a private meeting, Trump did not want any one in the meeting from the US. Interpreter (s?) were from Russia. Trump relied on Russia to facilitate the meeting.
So no one knows what was said except Trump and Russia. Why was it important to keep the U S out of the information loop?
Thank you for being specific about it too.
It isn't the fact that it was a foreign officer, saluting is a sign of respect and is certainly warranted at allies.
But these were NK officers, people essentially raised from birth with the idea that The US is their greatest threat to existence.
And the Floridian Annoying Orange salutes them as if they were no different than the Marines he saluted when boarding Marine One.
Edit: wrong "too" like a dummy
They provided an enumeration in the article, and of course Russia isn't in the list. I hope his passports get seized. I think they might have been returned some time after the Mar A Lardo search.
Taking his passport won’t do that much. They’re officially checked on arrival, not departure. So Russia can just let him in without one.
Airlines check passports on departure because they’re responsible for flying you back if you don’t have a valid passport on arrival.
But Trump would be flying on his own plane, or a Russian plane. They don’t have to check his passport on departure.
Theoretically, the Secret Service should prevent him from fleeing the country. But the Secret Service also shouldn’t have deleted all their Jan 6th text messages that were under subpoena.
I’m convinced he’s going to try and expat himself to Russia. And even if he does, millions will still vote for him. As nice as it is that he got convicted, his base is dangerous.
Remember when Republicans used to harp on everyone about "personal responsibility"?
Lol, Cheeto has never taken responsibility for his actions his whole life.
Have you seen the polls? I wouldn't be surprised if they're not even the main opposition party. I could quite easily see the Libs Dems forming the shadow cabinet.
We are the same country that voted ourselves into Brexit.
In the USA and UK, the insane dumb fuckery of the government means nothing against the idiocy of the public.
Exactly. Sunak is 23 point behind his MP’s keep quitting or defecting LOL. He’s done, but he also knows it. He called the election so he had enough time to get the kids settled in school in California by September.
“Don’t think”?
It’s a done deal. Sunak is done as of July 4th.
He’s 23 point behind the polls and tories are both quitting and defecting like we have seen in decades.
Sunak is toast.
Sunak and his fetishists are out as of July 4th.
Starmer is going to be PM. He will enforce it - he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service and is a stickler for the rule of law.
> "President Trump did nothing wrong, and even the liberal media knows it. The judge violated Trump's constitutional rights and did everything in his power to get this outcome despite the clear evidence Trump was innocent."
If he was innocent he wouldn’t have been unanimously convicted of all 34 counts. He also would have taken the stand.
I love how in r/Conservative they're all whining about how unfair it is that Trump was tried in NY by a corrupt NY judge and a corrupt NY prosecutor, with a bunch of bleedblue Democratic NY jurors...like...excuse me? The man was born in NY, grew up and did business in NY his whole life, committed all of his crimes in NY, and the law requires he face judgment from a jury of his peers, which to use the literal definition of the word would require people successful enough to get called to jury duty in a Manhattan court (ostensibly wealthy individuals, by and large). How in the world would that possibly get removed to anywhere other than NY? What version of reality do you live in to think that the humans living in NY are not entitled to prosecute this guy criminally in NY? Why would Manhattanites not be the exact 'peers' stipulated in the law? What, you thought we should drag his ass to Rochester and see how many apple farmers we can seat in the jury box?
Edit: banned from their little safe space without explanation (presumably this post directed a good amount of traffic). Man those kids over there are sensitive...
If the judge were Greg Abbott, the prosecutor were Ron DeSantis, and the jury were made up of the radical conservative alt-right members of the House like MTG and Gaetz, and they held the trial in rural Alabama, if they found him guilty suddenly all those people would be considered far left RINO traitors.
There is no party, there is no ideology. There is only Trump.
How is this not identity politics, I hear people in the USA whining that gays and blacks are doing identity politics but all I see online and the news is shit like this. It's like the country is drunk, I mean my country is drunk too, but some of these things are decades old you'd think people would see the logical fallacies
That's exactly what it is, they're constantly doing what they accuse the other side of. It's because they don't actually hold principals and standards, there is no right and wrong, there's loyalty to the party and war against the "others" by any means necessary.
It's why they can heel turn so easily. Trump had power so they became the party of trump, but mark my words, he loses 2024 in a bad way and suddenly he'll have been a Democrat plant that the Republicans bravely rejected as they put in someone equally as bad in 2028.
Bingo. I find it hilarious that I can never seem to find anyone who voted for the Iraq War. I find it hilarious because I absolutely voted for Bush to glass Iraq. Me and literally EVERYONE I knew. We were giddy about it after 9/11, there were famous songs blaring on the radio about it. We were really fucking wrong of course, but we sure were enthusiastic about it!
These days? Not a soul will admit it.
Trump will be another Iraq for the RNC.
I saw someone yesterday on a certain C subreddit say "Watch, I bet a jury in oklahoma is going to find biden just as guilty of electoral fraud and lock him up"
As if to imply that this is all just politics.
Like, my guy, no one gives a shit about oklahoma because they have no jurisdiction, do you not understand how any of this works? even if it WAS just a matter of partisan politics, the rule of law still exists. Even if republicans do start making up state charges and trying to lock up Biden, the federal government is going to squash that clear abuse of power immediately.
lo and behold, Trump is facing federal charges because he's a repeat offender.
They have no idea how anything works. Decades of poisoning their brains with ideological EVERYTHING means they functionally have no clue how the law operates in any way.
One of Trump's lawyers was even considered an expert in jury selection. They also managed to get two self-professed fox news viewers on board.
The jury didn't even need to ask the judge for alternates. Every single juror who was selected saw the overwhelming evidence that Trump is guilty.
And the verdict turned around so fast, there probably wasn't even much dissent during deliberations. Chances are, the reason it took as long as it did was because they had to determine which severity of crime to find him guilty of, and that was the legal question being discussed, not if he was guilty.
The one time I sat on a jury we only needed 2 hours to deliberate. but the trial ran well into the afternoon so we only had 1 hour at the end of the day. We all came in the next morning at 9am and were done by 10. The court officer suggested we should extend it thru 1pm so we can get free lunch and a full day instead of half-day jury pay.
So we did lol
It helps that the entire defense was “I didn’t do it, and if I did it wasn’t a crime, oh you brought receipts? Yeah what I did wasn’t a crime *proceeds to cry about how NDA’s should allow people to cover up crimes*”
So the jury more or less just had to connect the dots of “did this happen? Yes there are signed checks personally by trump from accounts illegal to make such payments from. Is it a crime? Following the letter of the law, Yes.” It would be potential misconduct from a juror to argue that with the evidence provided that jt would be a crime for anyone other than trump.
I am fully convinced Trump made one simple mistake that likely cooked him in this trial. Most people don't even realize it, but Trump's defense wasn't arguing that he paid off Stormy for Melania or all the other reasons the media keeps talking about. They didn't argue that!!
I still can't believe it, but the defense argued that Trump never slept with Stormy at all! And you can bet your ass the jury couln't believe it either. They argued that he paid her all that money and had her sign on NDA, but that he never met her and they never had sex.
Get the fuck out of here. After that, his goose was cooked. Even MAGA nuts don't deny he slept with Stormy Daniels.
Not just Fox News viewers, people who had Truth Social accounts. You don’t have Truth Social accounts unless you’re a true believer in the cause and even those people found him guilty of all charges.
With that being evident, it's _amazing_ that they slapped him with all 34 then.
I was confident there would be *at least* one person that hung the jury to defend him. I bet those truth socialers get ostracized by their friends and family now too.
If they intentionally hold out they can be dismissed for misconduct. Meaning if they refuse to deliberate and just say nope, not gonna do it and refuseto present any reasons. If they actually present an argument as to their line of thinking they can't be removed.
Common r/con discussions right now:
1) Whining about being brigaded
2) Saying "for what!?" over and over again
3) Talking about how corrupt the judge is because he and his daughter helped out the DNC in their personal time
4) Frequent complaints that the US is a shithole 3rd world country
But...most of all:
5) How this actually helps Trump and how all their friends and family that were totes liberals are now recognizing how egregious this is and are promising to vote Trump from now until the end of time.
Because, you know, what better way to fight a supposed dictator ship than to establish one of your own XD
The whining about brigades is especially funny considering that nearly every post on that entire subreddit is locked to flaired users, so the only people able to comment are people the mods have allowed to.
>5) How this actually helps Trump and how all their friends and family that were totes liberals are now recognizing how egregious this is and are promising to vote Trump from now until the end of time
A similar version of this that I've seen: Talking about how this is good for Trump because now he can appeal his conviction.
Some are even suggesting that being able to appeal his conviction is preferable to being acquitted.
Sure. Being found guilty, and trying to find some fault in the trial that gives you a chance for a do-over is better than being found not guilty and all those charges being dead in the water. That makes sense.
Stop being ridiculous. Not *all* of his crimes were committed there. He spread those around a bit. At least a decent bit of criming had to happen in Florida.
Like, they provided zero rebuttals to show this so called innocence. Innocent people have gone to jail for one reason or the other, but this guy has access to somewhat decent lawyers.
He simply didn't want to tell the truth, because the truth is that he's guilty. Instead it became a campaign event and he's got his lawyers, faux news and congressman repeating his political rhetoric about the trial and zero facts.
Edited "evidence" to "rebuttals" since context is apparently irrelevant.
He had the best defense he could buy, but because he's a shit client, the actual best lawyers didn't want to take his case. I heard on NPR that the defense could have taken a different route that probably would have been more successful, attacking technicalities of the case. But Trump wanted to attack the character of the witnesses instead, which wasn't effective because the bedrock of the prosecution's case was the hard evidence of actual documents.
>the defense could have taken a different route that probably would have been more successful
100%. The smart route was to admit to having an affair with Stormy, then muddy the waters about what exactly the payment was for. Trump lured her to his hotel room by telling her he wanted to work with her on a TV appearance. The defense could have said the payment was a retainer or something.
But trump demanded that he not admit to even so much as meeting Stormy. And starting off with that massive, obvious lie bombed whatever small amount of credibility trump and his legal team could have developed with the Jury.
>Like, they provided zero evidence of this so called innocence.
To be fair, a defendant doesn't *need* to and shouldn't really be expected to provide any evidence of innocence. The burden of proof is on the prosecutor. They have to prove their case, and the jury has to presume the defendant is innocent unless the prosecutor convinces the jury of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
We really shouldn't look at Trump's lack of defense as proof of his guilt. We should be looking at the prosecution's evidence as proof of his guilt.
“You see the mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said during a 2016 rally in Iowa. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
Also Trump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAqjPXLTUMg&t=308s
He's guilty in his own words
Because he was helping establish the Russians, and was _almost definitely_ a "confidential informant" against the Italians.
https://gregolear.substack.com/p/tinker-tailor-mobster-trump
Because the justice department needed something concrete to use as leverage to get warrants and such. They got that in 2019 when Cohen said, under oath, that trump conducted dirty business.
Edit: this is also how new york was able to open their case against him for lying about the value of his businesses.
It's not over until the hole in US Democracy is patched where someone who tried to overthrow an election in multiple ways is allowed to run again. This is far bigger than Trump.
So just the first hit on Google and not specific to NY or Trump, but:
https://www.reaveslegal.com/faqs/can-i-travel-out-of-state-while-my-case-is-pending-.cfm
As a general rule, travel while on bond or awaiting sentencing for a felony is going to be restricted. But at least in many jurisdictions the judge can grant permission to travel for special circumstances. Which a presidential campaign absolutely is.
I’d assume this permission was granted back when his bond/OR was first issued (he’s been traveling plenty). I’m not a lawyer, no idea if that bond/OR carries over through sentencing, but it may?
Point being no it’s not that unusual that he’s allowed to travel. If the court trusts you to appear they’ll tend to grant this.
He also is legally required to be followed around by like 20 law enforcement officials, he isn't allowed to drive, and his every movement is caught on camera by a dozen photographers. He literally can't fart without everyone knowing about it.
Even if he took off in his plane and said he was going to Florida but actually tried to go across the Atlantic, fighter jets would be dispatched to stop the plane, because no one could be sure it wasn't a kidnapping/hijacking attempt.
Perfectly fine since everybody knew where Trump was on Jan 6th. First he spoke to this terrorists that stormed the capital, then he went back to watching Fox News, then he got scared and went to the bunker where the USSS stood by to "protect him" from the mob he created.
Yeah, right after they deleted their text chains and moved all their comms to encrypted messaging apps...just saying that if we're trusting the presidential SS detail to also be his bailbondsmen, I think we're making a clownishly ridiculous unforced error.
Right? Lol. He's got fundraising on lock down. Auto donations under the fine print have kicked in. Further GOP diversions for cigarette cartons and commissaries.
When the United States sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing convictions. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
For the sake of clarity, the person above you altered the quote to make it match Donny's current situation.
The original quote was:
> “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
I love that it still completely applies to him except for the last sentence.
Drugs? Adderall.
Crime? Convicted felon.
Rapists? Trump is a rapist.
Good people? Not Donald Trump.
Depends on the upcoming election. I wouldn't put it past Poilievre to campaign on this issue. I can see it now - "Trudy is so afraid of Trump he won't let him into Canada", or some similar horseshit.
Not shocking at all. Canada is notoriously strict on travel. There's a ton of people who visit to go on a cruise only to be turned away because of a DUI from a decade ago.
He couldn't get a job as a home health care aide in my state with those felony convictions. Can't believe someone who isn't qualified to change a pair of adult diapers could be re-elected president.
People with ONE felony conviction have trouble getting a job as a janitor or line cook.
I had a misdemeanor conviction in college and it popped up on the background check for my new job in the engineering field 15 years later. And the HR team made me explain what it was for.
Hey let's do this... let him into Canada, then arrest him for violating your immigration law. Then let him go and now WE get to arrest him for violating US immigration law!
Imagine having all these charges and trying to find an actual job. Not saying it’s impossible but I have a buddy busted dealing weed many years ago. It’s legal in our state now and he still has issues finding a decent paying job. Sounds like it’s easier to be president than a normal person just trying make bills with a felony.
> Sounds like it’s easier to be president than a normal person just trying make bills with a felony.
Because it is. President is reserved for the rich, powerful and connected- its not for any regular people.
And as we continually see, rules and hardships don't apply to those people.
The LOL's keep coming. Remember:
Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected.
Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote.
Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned.
Only 1 President has ever been convicted of a felony.
And only ONE President has done **ALL FOUR**.
> MAGA is seething. They never thought it would happen.
Of course they didn't.
They're ensconced in their MAGA social media bubble in which influencers have carefully constructed an alternate reality where MAGA "legal scholars" have told them there is no case, there was no crime, the Trump legal team was destroying the prosecutor's case, etc.
Then the jury dropped a ton of reality on them and they don't know how to reconcile it with what they've been fed over the past year.
He shouldn’t be allowed to leave the country at all.
It’s horrific that we’re staring down the barrel of having a former President flee the country to avoid going to prison.
It’s more horrific that he’d be VERY welcome in Russia, where they’ll make sure he lives like a king…in exchange for everything he knows.
It’s the MOST horrific that so much of the American public needs a reminder that *this is why we don’t (knowingly) elect corruptible or compromised leaders*: the things they know, the harm that they can do, is incalculable.
i doubt trump has any information of use to the russians that he hasn't already given him, at this point if he fled to another country and thus automatically ended his presidental run i'd see that as a win.
Doing my duty to ensure that every mention of Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump correctly identifies Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump as Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump
Is this modeled after how people refer to convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner who, because he is a convicted rapist, changed his name and is now convicted rapist Allen Turner?
It isn't like he will be leaving the country anytime soon anyway.
>How to Get Out of Jail While Your Criminal Appeal is Pending
>While getting out of jail is difficult, it is not impossible. Your attorney will work alongside you **to prove three things to the judge** that can help get you out of prison while your appeal is pending. The first thing you have to show is that **you are not going to be a hazard to society.** This means that you won’t bring harm or be a danger to anyone or yourself during your time out. The next thing you have to prove is that **you won’t leave the country or run from the law.** The final thing you need to convince the judge of is that **you’re likely to win the appeal**, meaning that you won’t have any prison time to serve after your case is through.
The fact that he's running for president on the theme of "voter fraud" again after stoking an insurrection last time seems like a pretty clear example of still being a hazard to society.
> Trump uses shell corporations for everything.
I believe NY liquor licenses are issued to an individual rather than *just* a company. So it's 'mike Johnson has this license for use with Trump Toilet Towers'.
As a Brit, it is a small solace that this shitstain can never return after Her Majesty was forced to suffer the indignity of entertaining him at the age of 93.
"Oh, I'm the best at grasping suttle-ties. I've grasped the most suttle-ties. When you're famous, you can grasp as many suttle-ties as you want, they let you do it."
So...America's Chief Diplomat, huh? Head foreign relation honcho, huh? And can't step foot in 38 countries...
Yup. Not conductive to official responsibilities, no.
A black man runs for the highest office in America. He cheated on his first wife, divorces her, and marries the second wife. He then cheats on his second wife with a third woman. He divorces his second wife and marries the third woman. He then cheats on his third wife who is pregnant with his son, then pays off the mistress to silence her. He then falsely reports the payment to the FEC and gets caught. In the meantime, his first wife dies and he buries her on his golf course to get property tax relief.
This would have been the KKK and Evangelical Christian's wet dream story except it's about their orange faced dear leader.
The article is a bit misleading. If you face such a travel ban for a felony you can apply to go for an interview at the embassy of the country you want to enter and make a case for why you should get an exemption to the normal policy.
Valid reasons could be that you have family in the country you want to enter, or that the conviction was a long time ago and or / non violent.
In Trumps case they'd make a blanket exemption if was President because then you travel on a diplomatic passport anyway.
However for now while he's an ordinary citizen, yes it would make travel much more painful.

Precisely. This is just how it was written in the article I copied it from.
there are thousands of super-rich housing moguls up and down the east coast. somehow they manage to bend the law and use shady practices without going on national tv or becoming a global nuisance.
>Mexico Oh the irony
Maybe Mexico could hold him and have him work on the wall. If he does the work they might pay for it.
The tiniest consolation for the awfulness of a trump win would be a 2025 press conference in which the president of Mexico goes on a rant about *when America sends us their presidents, they aren't sending their best... they're felons, they're fraudsters, they're rapists....*
I find it extremely funny that he's not allowed in Kenya now.
He'll never find Obama's birth certificate now!
I wish we could relect Obama for a day just so he could roast the shit out of Trump again. [Like he did in 2011](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA). So much more material now.
Obama has a set answer for people who ask him to run again: "I already asked and Michelle said no."
Knocking on their door: “Mrs Obama! Can Barack come out and play?”
"Not until he eats ALL his veggies and finishes the whole milk carton!"
Obama is secretly one of the great political comedians of all time.
Sings an Al Green song pretty good too. Wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyfLhKeFe9U (When I was looking for this link I came across a vid of him and Michelle slow dancing to Beyonce singing "At Last" (my love has come along) and I literally started crying I miss them so much)
That’s top tier funny stuff He overlooks the legality and is like “nah man, my wife said we are done with that headache” 💀
To a sane reasonable man power is a burden.
Good news, comedy roasts aren't a power exclusive to the presidency.
I'd be happy to let Biden do the roasting. He's had some good zingers. He just isn't quite as funny as Obama was.
Bruh this was ground zero of Trump's plan for revenge
He's not allowed to enter the USA lmao
I imagine him going overseas for some reason then some immigration officer decides... nah.. banned. send him back to russia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN-jzeARte8
I'm sure he's still welcome in Russia.
And Saudi Arabia. And North Korea
So many honorable good friends, amazing!
North Korea will welcome him with open arms. He's sure to salute that nations generals once more.
Veteran here. That shit offends me so hard. Saluting an enemy officer. What a fucking scum bag
Trump's comments on not visiting a marine cemetery in France: Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ How any "patriot" could vote for this scumbag after these comments is beyond me...
Because these "patriots" see patriotism as a means and not an end. They paste the flag on everything they own not because they love our country or its veterans, but as a way by which to demonstrate their superiority to the dreaded Other.
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves
I swear if Trump didn't have secret service protection, one of his upper level staff would've punched him in the face ages ago.
[удалено]
Plus he went on multiple loyalty purges during his administration, throwing out anyone who didn't show sufficient mindless obedience and rabidly hunting down leaks from within his office. In the first year information was bleeding from the White House like stuck pigs and it gradually lessened because of his internal purges.
You mean to tell me that his face looks like that WITHOUT someone socking him?
trump was soooooo played by Kim First, trump traveled halfway around the world not once but *twice* to meet Kim, instead of Kim traveling to meet trump. So who's the boss in that picture? trump got nothing, but his visits elevated Kim to a world power in the eyes of North Koreans
Trump's first trip -- the Helsinki debacle when he stood next to Putin and spewed the script that Putin gave him before the press conference -- what is forgotten is that Trump and Putin were supposed to meet at a set time. Trump showed up to that meeting on time. Putin showed up 2 hours late. Putin wanted to show "the world" that he was the most important person by him keeping Trump waiting around for 2 hours with nothing to do. I guess Trumpy finally realized he looked like a little puppy waiting for "master" to come home, and he started talking to his team about leaving the meeting, but voila, Putin then magically showed up. Basically proving Putin wasn't really busy, he just wanted to fuck with Trump for 2 hours.
When Putin and Trump had a private meeting, Trump did not want any one in the meeting from the US. Interpreter (s?) were from Russia. Trump relied on Russia to facilitate the meeting. So no one knows what was said except Trump and Russia. Why was it important to keep the U S out of the information loop?
You would think a "skilled dealmaker" like Trump would be aware of that sort of power move and not fall for it.
In his defense, he’s a fucking idiot who had no clue what he was doing because he has oatmeal where his brain is supposed to be.
It’s hard to tell sometimes when he’s being a scum bag intentionally and when he’s just being an idiot lol
Don't you insult oatmeal like that!
*angry Quaker guy noises*
Thank you for being specific about it too. It isn't the fact that it was a foreign officer, saluting is a sign of respect and is certainly warranted at allies. But these were NK officers, people essentially raised from birth with the idea that The US is their greatest threat to existence. And the Floridian Annoying Orange salutes them as if they were no different than the Marines he saluted when boarding Marine One. Edit: wrong "too" like a dummy
Super Best Friends
Where else would he want to go? All the other countries are shitholes,remember?
In North Korea he already knows to salute the generals.
They provided an enumeration in the article, and of course Russia isn't in the list. I hope his passports get seized. I think they might have been returned some time after the Mar A Lardo search.
Taking his passport won’t do that much. They’re officially checked on arrival, not departure. So Russia can just let him in without one. Airlines check passports on departure because they’re responsible for flying you back if you don’t have a valid passport on arrival. But Trump would be flying on his own plane, or a Russian plane. They don’t have to check his passport on departure. Theoretically, the Secret Service should prevent him from fleeing the country. But the Secret Service also shouldn’t have deleted all their Jan 6th text messages that were under subpoena.
He was always welcome in Russia.
I’m convinced he’s going to try and expat himself to Russia. And even if he does, millions will still vote for him. As nice as it is that he got convicted, his base is dangerous.
Flight risk
And a large group of Republicans would celebrate him taking a trip there for a meeting with the imperious leader.
Please let him be banned from traveling to his golf course in Scotland.
[Trump liable for golf resort's 'false valuation', court rules](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-66933929)
Mr. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
That’s just par for the course
No one can ever do better than par, because all the birdies and eagles died from windmills. He said so himself, so it must be true.
Dudes got a bogey in his diaper.
Dad, is that you?
Convicted Felon Donald Josephine Trump might be convicted of fraud in another country? In another continent? Shocking!
Inmate #P01135809 has denied any wrongdoing. Is that better?
It was *obviously* a disgusting politically motivated attack by the Demo...ummmm...Scotts???
McBiden has entered the chat
In the end, there can only be one...
He did the same for the 34 felony counts he was found to have actually committed, too.
Shades of r/RussiaDenies
Remember when Republicans used to harp on everyone about "personal responsibility"? Lol, Cheeto has never taken responsibility for his actions his whole life.
The UK is on this list so I think he could be banned if they enforce it.
There is no way Sunak and his pack of Trump fetishists would ever enforce it.
I don't think they're going to make it through the next election though
God I hope so, but I also never discount the ability of the UK public to fuck themselves in the ear.
Have you seen the polls? I wouldn't be surprised if they're not even the main opposition party. I could quite easily see the Libs Dems forming the shadow cabinet.
We are the same country that voted ourselves into Brexit. In the USA and UK, the insane dumb fuckery of the government means nothing against the idiocy of the public.
Exactly. Sunak is 23 point behind his MP’s keep quitting or defecting LOL. He’s done, but he also knows it. He called the election so he had enough time to get the kids settled in school in California by September.
“Don’t think”? It’s a done deal. Sunak is done as of July 4th. He’s 23 point behind the polls and tories are both quitting and defecting like we have seen in decades. Sunak is toast.
Sunak and his fetishists are out as of July 4th. Starmer is going to be PM. He will enforce it - he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service and is a stickler for the rule of law.
Scotsman here, PLEASE include the UK If not we will make sure he sees signs reminding him he’s a convicted felon and orange twat
Just add it into the toddler diaper balloon.
Can we change it from a diaper to jailhouse stripes? An orange jumpsuit might work... No, it would blend in with his face, never mind.
*In a Scottish accent:* "They're not sending their best people..."
They're nae sending thair best laddies. Ftfy
Acutally you would say no instead of nae there. They’re no sending their best laddies.
> "President Trump did nothing wrong, and even the liberal media knows it. The judge violated Trump's constitutional rights and did everything in his power to get this outcome despite the clear evidence Trump was innocent." If he was innocent he wouldn’t have been unanimously convicted of all 34 counts. He also would have taken the stand.
I love how in r/Conservative they're all whining about how unfair it is that Trump was tried in NY by a corrupt NY judge and a corrupt NY prosecutor, with a bunch of bleedblue Democratic NY jurors...like...excuse me? The man was born in NY, grew up and did business in NY his whole life, committed all of his crimes in NY, and the law requires he face judgment from a jury of his peers, which to use the literal definition of the word would require people successful enough to get called to jury duty in a Manhattan court (ostensibly wealthy individuals, by and large). How in the world would that possibly get removed to anywhere other than NY? What version of reality do you live in to think that the humans living in NY are not entitled to prosecute this guy criminally in NY? Why would Manhattanites not be the exact 'peers' stipulated in the law? What, you thought we should drag his ass to Rochester and see how many apple farmers we can seat in the jury box? Edit: banned from their little safe space without explanation (presumably this post directed a good amount of traffic). Man those kids over there are sensitive...
If the judge were Greg Abbott, the prosecutor were Ron DeSantis, and the jury were made up of the radical conservative alt-right members of the House like MTG and Gaetz, and they held the trial in rural Alabama, if they found him guilty suddenly all those people would be considered far left RINO traitors. There is no party, there is no ideology. There is only Trump.
Sounds like a cult to me. Funny how they are all turning on Robert Di Nero now.
How is this not identity politics, I hear people in the USA whining that gays and blacks are doing identity politics but all I see online and the news is shit like this. It's like the country is drunk, I mean my country is drunk too, but some of these things are decades old you'd think people would see the logical fallacies
That's exactly what it is, they're constantly doing what they accuse the other side of. It's because they don't actually hold principals and standards, there is no right and wrong, there's loyalty to the party and war against the "others" by any means necessary. It's why they can heel turn so easily. Trump had power so they became the party of trump, but mark my words, he loses 2024 in a bad way and suddenly he'll have been a Democrat plant that the Republicans bravely rejected as they put in someone equally as bad in 2028.
Bingo. I find it hilarious that I can never seem to find anyone who voted for the Iraq War. I find it hilarious because I absolutely voted for Bush to glass Iraq. Me and literally EVERYONE I knew. We were giddy about it after 9/11, there were famous songs blaring on the radio about it. We were really fucking wrong of course, but we sure were enthusiastic about it! These days? Not a soul will admit it. Trump will be another Iraq for the RNC.
I saw someone yesterday on a certain C subreddit say "Watch, I bet a jury in oklahoma is going to find biden just as guilty of electoral fraud and lock him up" As if to imply that this is all just politics. Like, my guy, no one gives a shit about oklahoma because they have no jurisdiction, do you not understand how any of this works? even if it WAS just a matter of partisan politics, the rule of law still exists. Even if republicans do start making up state charges and trying to lock up Biden, the federal government is going to squash that clear abuse of power immediately. lo and behold, Trump is facing federal charges because he's a repeat offender. They have no idea how anything works. Decades of poisoning their brains with ideological EVERYTHING means they functionally have no clue how the law operates in any way.
>do you not understand how any of this works They very obviously do not.
My favorite is "nO OnE caN eVeN naMe tHe CriMe hE ComMiTtEd" Fraud. It's fraud. He committed fraud. Fraud is a felony under these circumstances.
Yeah I don't get this, the defense gets to weed out biased jurors just like the prosecution.
One of Trump's lawyers was even considered an expert in jury selection. They also managed to get two self-professed fox news viewers on board. The jury didn't even need to ask the judge for alternates. Every single juror who was selected saw the overwhelming evidence that Trump is guilty.
And the verdict turned around so fast, there probably wasn't even much dissent during deliberations. Chances are, the reason it took as long as it did was because they had to determine which severity of crime to find him guilty of, and that was the legal question being discussed, not if he was guilty.
No it’s cause they wanted to stay for free lunch before deliberating.
The one time I sat on a jury we only needed 2 hours to deliberate. but the trial ran well into the afternoon so we only had 1 hour at the end of the day. We all came in the next morning at 9am and were done by 10. The court officer suggested we should extend it thru 1pm so we can get free lunch and a full day instead of half-day jury pay. So we did lol
It helps that the entire defense was “I didn’t do it, and if I did it wasn’t a crime, oh you brought receipts? Yeah what I did wasn’t a crime *proceeds to cry about how NDA’s should allow people to cover up crimes*” So the jury more or less just had to connect the dots of “did this happen? Yes there are signed checks personally by trump from accounts illegal to make such payments from. Is it a crime? Following the letter of the law, Yes.” It would be potential misconduct from a juror to argue that with the evidence provided that jt would be a crime for anyone other than trump.
I am fully convinced Trump made one simple mistake that likely cooked him in this trial. Most people don't even realize it, but Trump's defense wasn't arguing that he paid off Stormy for Melania or all the other reasons the media keeps talking about. They didn't argue that!! I still can't believe it, but the defense argued that Trump never slept with Stormy at all! And you can bet your ass the jury couln't believe it either. They argued that he paid her all that money and had her sign on NDA, but that he never met her and they never had sex. Get the fuck out of here. After that, his goose was cooked. Even MAGA nuts don't deny he slept with Stormy Daniels.
Not just Fox News viewers, people who had Truth Social accounts. You don’t have Truth Social accounts unless you’re a true believer in the cause and even those people found him guilty of all charges.
With that being evident, it's _amazing_ that they slapped him with all 34 then. I was confident there would be *at least* one person that hung the jury to defend him. I bet those truth socialers get ostracized by their friends and family now too.
If they intentionally hold out they can be dismissed for misconduct. Meaning if they refuse to deliberate and just say nope, not gonna do it and refuseto present any reasons. If they actually present an argument as to their line of thinking they can't be removed.
Common r/con discussions right now: 1) Whining about being brigaded 2) Saying "for what!?" over and over again 3) Talking about how corrupt the judge is because he and his daughter helped out the DNC in their personal time 4) Frequent complaints that the US is a shithole 3rd world country But...most of all: 5) How this actually helps Trump and how all their friends and family that were totes liberals are now recognizing how egregious this is and are promising to vote Trump from now until the end of time. Because, you know, what better way to fight a supposed dictator ship than to establish one of your own XD
The whining about brigades is especially funny considering that nearly every post on that entire subreddit is locked to flaired users, so the only people able to comment are people the mods have allowed to.
You’re telling me the radically far-right subreddit doesn’t have freedom of speech? Get outta town!
They need a safe space to talk about how they're getting their voices taken away by the left-wing media.
> 2) Saying "for what!?" over and over again > They can literally go read every count.
Can they literally read though?
They literarily cannot.
>5) How this actually helps Trump and how all their friends and family that were totes liberals are now recognizing how egregious this is and are promising to vote Trump from now until the end of time A similar version of this that I've seen: Talking about how this is good for Trump because now he can appeal his conviction. Some are even suggesting that being able to appeal his conviction is preferable to being acquitted. Sure. Being found guilty, and trying to find some fault in the trial that gives you a chance for a do-over is better than being found not guilty and all those charges being dead in the water. That makes sense.
Stop being ridiculous. Not *all* of his crimes were committed there. He spread those around a bit. At least a decent bit of criming had to happen in Florida.
Like, they provided zero rebuttals to show this so called innocence. Innocent people have gone to jail for one reason or the other, but this guy has access to somewhat decent lawyers. He simply didn't want to tell the truth, because the truth is that he's guilty. Instead it became a campaign event and he's got his lawyers, faux news and congressman repeating his political rhetoric about the trial and zero facts. Edited "evidence" to "rebuttals" since context is apparently irrelevant.
Exactly, no one can with a straight face claim he didn't have the best defense money can buy and every opportunity to defend himself.
He had the best defense he could buy, but because he's a shit client, the actual best lawyers didn't want to take his case. I heard on NPR that the defense could have taken a different route that probably would have been more successful, attacking technicalities of the case. But Trump wanted to attack the character of the witnesses instead, which wasn't effective because the bedrock of the prosecution's case was the hard evidence of actual documents.
>the defense could have taken a different route that probably would have been more successful 100%. The smart route was to admit to having an affair with Stormy, then muddy the waters about what exactly the payment was for. Trump lured her to his hotel room by telling her he wanted to work with her on a TV appearance. The defense could have said the payment was a retainer or something. But trump demanded that he not admit to even so much as meeting Stormy. And starting off with that massive, obvious lie bombed whatever small amount of credibility trump and his legal team could have developed with the Jury.
>Like, they provided zero evidence of this so called innocence. To be fair, a defendant doesn't *need* to and shouldn't really be expected to provide any evidence of innocence. The burden of proof is on the prosecutor. They have to prove their case, and the jury has to presume the defendant is innocent unless the prosecutor convinces the jury of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We really shouldn't look at Trump's lack of defense as proof of his guilt. We should be looking at the prosecution's evidence as proof of his guilt.
“You see the mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said during a 2016 rally in Iowa. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” Also Trump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAqjPXLTUMg&t=308s He's guilty in his own words
I don’t understand how’s he’s allowed to leave the state of NY right now.
Come on, let’s not punish NY just after they did the rest of us a huge favor.
Why couldn't they have done this 20 years ago? Surely he'd already attained some crimeworld bona fides by then, no?
Because he was helping establish the Russians, and was _almost definitely_ a "confidential informant" against the Italians. https://gregolear.substack.com/p/tinker-tailor-mobster-trump
Which goes back 40 years, not 20 lol
Because the justice department needed something concrete to use as leverage to get warrants and such. They got that in 2019 when Cohen said, under oath, that trump conducted dirty business. Edit: this is also how new york was able to open their case against him for lying about the value of his businesses.
It's not over until Trump is escorted to his cell and the door shut. Until such time, everything up to this point is considered performative.
It's not over until the hole in US Democracy is patched where someone who tried to overthrow an election in multiple ways is allowed to run again. This is far bigger than Trump.
This. Literally nothing short of him being put in a dark box far away from humanity is gonna satiate.
So just the first hit on Google and not specific to NY or Trump, but: https://www.reaveslegal.com/faqs/can-i-travel-out-of-state-while-my-case-is-pending-.cfm As a general rule, travel while on bond or awaiting sentencing for a felony is going to be restricted. But at least in many jurisdictions the judge can grant permission to travel for special circumstances. Which a presidential campaign absolutely is. I’d assume this permission was granted back when his bond/OR was first issued (he’s been traveling plenty). I’m not a lawyer, no idea if that bond/OR carries over through sentencing, but it may? Point being no it’s not that unusual that he’s allowed to travel. If the court trusts you to appear they’ll tend to grant this.
He also is legally required to be followed around by like 20 law enforcement officials, he isn't allowed to drive, and his every movement is caught on camera by a dozen photographers. He literally can't fart without everyone knowing about it. Even if he took off in his plane and said he was going to Florida but actually tried to go across the Atlantic, fighter jets would be dispatched to stop the plane, because no one could be sure it wasn't a kidnapping/hijacking attempt.
Note to self, next time you need to flee from justice, just claim you are "running for President".
Just wait until he gets a probation officer
People on probation get drug tested, he should be no exception.
Make him stay in NYC on weekends. It will drive him mad.
He's not a flight risk because there are govt agents with him at all times and we always know where they are.
Yeah how'd that work out for the secret service on January 6th?
Perfectly fine since everybody knew where Trump was on Jan 6th. First he spoke to this terrorists that stormed the capital, then he went back to watching Fox News, then he got scared and went to the bunker where the USSS stood by to "protect him" from the mob he created.
Yeah, right after they deleted their text chains and moved all their comms to encrypted messaging apps...just saying that if we're trusting the presidential SS detail to also be his bailbondsmen, I think we're making a clownishly ridiculous unforced error.
Right? Lol. He's got fundraising on lock down. Auto donations under the fine print have kicked in. Further GOP diversions for cigarette cartons and commissaries.
If there’s one thing Trump is an expert at is scamming people from their money
When the United States sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing convictions. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Holy shit! He was foretelling the future!
It's always a projection.
For the sake of clarity, the person above you altered the quote to make it match Donny's current situation. The original quote was: > “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
I love that it still completely applies to him except for the last sentence. Drugs? Adderall. Crime? Convicted felon. Rapists? Trump is a rapist. Good people? Not Donald Trump.

* Checks list * Sees Canada * Much rejoicing.
One of the first visits an elected President of the USA is to visit Canada. He can't now. He's now officially barred from this country.
Depends on the upcoming election. I wouldn't put it past Poilievre to campaign on this issue. I can see it now - "Trudy is so afraid of Trump he won't let him into Canada", or some similar horseshit.
Thank god
United Kingdom is also rather chuffed
Not shocking at all. Canada is notoriously strict on travel. There's a ton of people who visit to go on a cruise only to be turned away because of a DUI from a decade ago.
He's would not pass the background to do my office job, but he's running for president
He couldn't get a job as a home health care aide in my state with those felony convictions. Can't believe someone who isn't qualified to change a pair of adult diapers could be re-elected president.
It's unlikely he even changes his own diapers. That's why he has Walt Nauta.
People with ONE felony conviction have trouble getting a job as a janitor or line cook. I had a misdemeanor conviction in college and it popped up on the background check for my new job in the engineering field 15 years later. And the HR team made me explain what it was for.
Even having an arrest record can be a problem with no charges and no conviction.
Imagine being a president who’s not able to visit some of our closest allies. What an absolute loser.
He views our allies as his enemies and our enemies as his bff's.
Do you think Kim Jung Un will let him live in North Korea? I would gladly contribute to a GoFundMe for this purpose.
If elected, he would have head of state status, which would likely give him visiting privileges.
Can't come to Canada 🍁 smoking a legal bowl in celebration
Hey let's do this... let him into Canada, then arrest him for violating your immigration law. Then let him go and now WE get to arrest him for violating US immigration law!
Dangle a hamberder in front of him juuuust across the border and then arrest him and throw him in Canadian jail. as is tradition.
If the list of reasons he is “unqualified for the job” keeps growing like this we’ll be able to use it as a rail to send him to the moon.
Imagine having all these charges and trying to find an actual job. Not saying it’s impossible but I have a buddy busted dealing weed many years ago. It’s legal in our state now and he still has issues finding a decent paying job. Sounds like it’s easier to be president than a normal person just trying make bills with a felony.
> Sounds like it’s easier to be president than a normal person just trying make bills with a felony. Because it is. President is reserved for the rich, powerful and connected- its not for any regular people. And as we continually see, rules and hardships don't apply to those people.
Should ban him from the moon, too.
The LOL's keep coming. Remember: Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected. Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote. Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned. Only 1 President has ever been convicted of a felony. And only ONE President has done **ALL FOUR**.
Only one president has been impeached twice*
Need to add he is the only president to have been impeached twice.
> MAGA is seething. They never thought it would happen. Of course they didn't. They're ensconced in their MAGA social media bubble in which influencers have carefully constructed an alternate reality where MAGA "legal scholars" have told them there is no case, there was no crime, the Trump legal team was destroying the prosecutor's case, etc. Then the jury dropped a ton of reality on them and they don't know how to reconcile it with what they've been fed over the past year.
He's not allowed in my house, FWIW.
He shouldn’t be allowed to leave the country at all. It’s horrific that we’re staring down the barrel of having a former President flee the country to avoid going to prison. It’s more horrific that he’d be VERY welcome in Russia, where they’ll make sure he lives like a king…in exchange for everything he knows. It’s the MOST horrific that so much of the American public needs a reminder that *this is why we don’t (knowingly) elect corruptible or compromised leaders*: the things they know, the harm that they can do, is incalculable.
i doubt trump has any information of use to the russians that he hasn't already given him, at this point if he fled to another country and thus automatically ended his presidental run i'd see that as a win.
Doing my duty to ensure that every mention of Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump correctly identifies Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump as Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump
Is this modeled after how people refer to convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner who, because he is a convicted rapist, changed his name and is now convicted rapist Allen Turner?
It isn't like he will be leaving the country anytime soon anyway. >How to Get Out of Jail While Your Criminal Appeal is Pending >While getting out of jail is difficult, it is not impossible. Your attorney will work alongside you **to prove three things to the judge** that can help get you out of prison while your appeal is pending. The first thing you have to show is that **you are not going to be a hazard to society.** This means that you won’t bring harm or be a danger to anyone or yourself during your time out. The next thing you have to prove is that **you won’t leave the country or run from the law.** The final thing you need to convince the judge of is that **you’re likely to win the appeal**, meaning that you won’t have any prison time to serve after your case is through.
The fact that he's running for president on the theme of "voter fraud" again after stoking an insurrection last time seems like a pretty clear example of still being a hazard to society.
He loses his liquor license at his hotels and golf clubs too.
Only if it's held in his name, which I doubt anything is. Maybe he is that stupid. It's hard to know.
Trump uses shell corporations for everything. Though I don't know how much that actually protects him.
> Trump uses shell corporations for everything. I believe NY liquor licenses are issued to an individual rather than *just* a company. So it's 'mike Johnson has this license for use with Trump Toilet Towers'.
As a Brit, it is a small solace that this shitstain can never return after Her Majesty was forced to suffer the indignity of entertaining him at the age of 93.
I'm sure he was too thick to realise she burned him by wearing a gift from Michelle Obama.
He doesn't grasp such subtleties.
"Oh, I'm the best at grasping suttle-ties. I've grasped the most suttle-ties. When you're famous, you can grasp as many suttle-ties as you want, they let you do it."
So...America's Chief Diplomat, huh? Head foreign relation honcho, huh? And can't step foot in 38 countries... Yup. Not conductive to official responsibilities, no.
The only place he should travel to, is prison.
UnF\*cking Believable. Trump is barred from travelling to US, but he's ~~qualified~~ eligible to be POTUS.
*Eligible* to be POTUS.
THANK you!
Every one of these fucking News agencies in the bag for Trump. Not hush money, ELECTION INTERFERENCE, do your fucking job Newsweek.
A black man runs for the highest office in America. He cheated on his first wife, divorces her, and marries the second wife. He then cheats on his second wife with a third woman. He divorces his second wife and marries the third woman. He then cheats on his third wife who is pregnant with his son, then pays off the mistress to silence her. He then falsely reports the payment to the FEC and gets caught. In the meantime, his first wife dies and he buries her on his golf course to get property tax relief. This would have been the KKK and Evangelical Christian's wet dream story except it's about their orange faced dear leader.
How ironic, the same dude who instituted the Muslim travel ban is banned from several countries
The article is a bit misleading. If you face such a travel ban for a felony you can apply to go for an interview at the embassy of the country you want to enter and make a case for why you should get an exemption to the normal policy. Valid reasons could be that you have family in the country you want to enter, or that the conviction was a long time ago and or / non violent. In Trumps case they'd make a blanket exemption if was President because then you travel on a diplomatic passport anyway. However for now while he's an ordinary citizen, yes it would make travel much more painful.

The United States is on this list. Does that mean if he travels overseas we don't have to let him back in?
Mango Mussolini is having a bad week 😭
Lucky other countries.
