It ain’t Elba, but I like the idea of him being exiled to Florida for the rest of his hamberder measured life. Try to find an early evening crowd to regale in the Florida summer.

Nab him while he’s in New Jersey for the summer.

I’m sure our Democratic governor would have no problem shipping him across the Hudson.

OT. No surprise here, in the US like everywhere else, Generals are against democracy.

Here’s hoping the “Bedminster Perp Walk” becomes the new summer dance craze…

Added bonus if they nab him on his golf course!

Playbook notes that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), one of the ex-president’s top lackeys, has the authority to intervene in interstate extraditions.

If T rumpp was actually to be arrested and detained in Florida, i would expect DeSantis to brazenly call for a an open MAGAt war in NY. He’d be all in on open warfare like there is no tomorrow.

Oh, right. What are they going to do? Get into Mar la gogo, handcuff him and transport him on a plane? That will be the day.

That’s exactly what I was about to say. This isn’t complicated. I’m sure Cy Vance and others are smart enough to have figured all this out.

For lack of a less cliched phrase - a total “nothing burger” story.

I still have a box of popcorn waiting to see Karl Rove frog marched out of the White House.
Ain’t gonna happen.

Well it would behoove police departments that have a Trump property in their jurisdiction to make plans.

Well if DeSantis tries to intervene then would the power shift go to DeSantis?
Don’t know why I’m giving a warning to Trump and his people, but…the joy of seeing them scurry will be delightful.

He doesn’t walk anywhere. They’ll have to use a golf cart.

Fortunately for TPM, 538 has a story up about karaoke so this is not the most vapid story on the innertubes today.

How about a perp walk across the GW bridge? Would the people of NJ and NY be OK with that?
