Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.

I'm sure Maduro will welcome him with open arms.

This is slightly at odds with many Republican legislators because many people fleeing Venezuela are firmly on the right. When DeSantis did his whole transporting Texas asylum seekers, one of the main issues was that money for that was not to be used for people fleeing Venezuela.

Yep, I'm not clicking that. So the headline will have to do

Tabloids are not gonna work for me

Does Venezuela give consent? I guess that's never mattered before anyway.

Does he know they don’t speak English there?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

He barely speaks English as it is

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd ask him to promise, but I know what his promises are worth.

That would be awesome he'd get a fair'trial there Im sure.

Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don't turn into positives? Like "Tampon Tim" ...."He's going to stop the red wave!" Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.

Edit: "chip" in. Economy of course.

I'd rather this become terms for jailing him now. Sounds like a potential flight risk ahead of sentencing for his 34 felony counts.

Mr. Trump, you don't need to run there, start early and you can walk.

[–] Hobbes_Dent 3 points 3 months ago

Put him on a bus.

Of all the times for that treasonous orange shit to lie, why did it have to be this one?

[–] norimee 6 points 3 months ago

Haven't the Venezuelans to deal with enough shit?

He is like "Who around here is the most down, so I can kick them even more?"

[–] Otakulad 6 points 3 months ago

If he is being serious, please take all the MAGA Kool aid drinkers with you.

[–] Professorozone 5 points 3 months ago

Wonder what Venezuela has to say about that.

[–] Sam_Bass 5 points 3 months ago

Interpol being notified? Escaped felons should be

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

My question would be, "why wait?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I've heard this before. What a baby.

[–] Resol 4 points 3 months ago

I bet he'll run for president there too, and then fail, and then flee to another country that's most likely allied with Venezuela.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Is that a promise?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Did he too old to remember he's a convicted criminal?

[–] SomeGuy69 3 points 3 months ago

So there's Epstein's second "island", I see.

[–] Gingerlegs 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

lol, adding more reason to vote against himself every day. Gotta love it

[–] Pretzilla 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

As a convicted felon he can't vote for or against himself

Ed: if there was any justice in the world

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

He can since he was convicted in New York and is registered to vote in Florida, Florida will follow NY's guidelines and permit him to vote. If he was convicted by a Florida court he would be ineligible to vote there, but I guarantee that DeSantis would have pardoned him to fix that.
