Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI think we should consider two possibilities regarding Motherfucker
1. He tries to flee without his Secret Service detail. Unfortunately, and sucks to be him, the range on Motherfucker 1 is a little less than 4000 nautical miles or 4490 statute miles, which means the aircraft would be running on fumes before it could reach a safe, fascist nation (Hungary, Viktor Orban's slice of paradise). Also unfortunately for the walking embodiment of a colostomy bag, the aircraft can't fly 'under the radar' and get that range, which means a flight plan needs to filed and with the aircraft in the system and tracked by ATC, you can bet a fat man to a skinny mule that it will get an unexpected escort from a couple of F-16s back to the U.S. before it hits international airspace. And no flight crew would be willing to risk a Sidewinder up their APU no matter who's banging on the flight deck door.
2. He shucks his mortal coil. I give exactly zero fucks how 'robust' (high on Adderall) the shitbag thinks he is. He's a 77-year-old obese, out-of-shape bag of fuck with a penchant for shit food that he eagerly shovels down his gullet. Add the stress of a cascade of indictments and to me it's even odds he's going to take a dirt nap soon.
If I'm a betting man, I'd wager the second possibility is on the table before the first.

(10,252 posts)No pilot is going to jail for helping him to flee.
At 77, his body is wearing out. It happens, I'm 76 with heart problems and my body is wearing out. Between his obesity and intense anger, his blood pressure must be sky high. If he's an adderall adict, he probably doesn't sleep so great. So add in anxiety.
Disaffected
(5,954 posts)It is my understanding that he is (still) under no travel restrictions so, why can't he leave the US??
vlyons
(10,252 posts)But he is required to show up for court dates. If he left the country and didn't show up, that is fleeing.
Disaffected
(5,954 posts)in the absence of travel restrictions, there would be nothing to stop him from fleeing even if that means missing court dates or anything else.
Anyhow, the same question remains - is he under travel restrictions, either within the US or beyond, or not??
Captain Zero
(8,510 posts)At one time it wasn't well maintained and do you think he pays his mechanics well and on time? I doubt it.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,826 posts)And FWIW, he doesnt have his mechanics that do any maintenance on it. Any and all work done on that plane is done by certified repair stations that have the know how to work on that type. And I absolutely guarantee that it does not leave any facility until the bill is paid in full.
Not a fan of the man by any stretch, but his 757 is in good working order, Im sure.

Other places he'd run to would be other countries on the Arabian peninsula, especially Qatar and UAE. None of the above have extradition treaties with the U.S.

He doesn't see what's coming, like he was unable to see his current predicament coming. Is there any doubt that in his mind the outcome in any of the cases against him will be nothing more than words? That when the gavel drops his attorneys will close their briefcases and everyone will go home after drinks?

But I guess for him, this might be a fate worse than anything else he could imagine, AND he'd be gone from our lives forever !
Now that I'm thinking about it though, that doesn't give closure to me or to 200 million fellow Americans....

Absolutely gonna blink again and again IMHO and hopefully caught on camera at some point!!!
Is he the bestest most over confident arrogant twit on the planet?
Putting YOU on the line FOR HIM right now, discuss it with family and friends first please because NOW, highly likely death?
It's like Darwin Awards level DUMB AF!
At least they have words they over use so you can spot them easier in the wild, like WOKE and DERANGED for example.
usonian
(21,509 posts)He failed to cripple NATO, the "Putin Papers" that Barr and NcConnell kept wraps on are going to come out in court, and he's just plain incompetent at stealing/destroying documents and erasing tapes.

is 5296 nautical miles.
-->MoFo-1 has the range to get to St. Petersburg, Russia from West Palm Beach. Mofo should definitely be considered a flight risk.

(66,188 posts)As much as I'd like to see him stroke out on live tv, it will be better if he is tried, convicted, and sentenced first.
If he dies, the proceedings will lose their teeth. Sure, a bunch of underlings and flunkies will face some measure of justice, but the criminal in chief will have escaped legal consequences.
As such, any future reichwing fuckhead will feel free to try the same tactics, with the benefit of experience and the knowledge that consequences will be years away, if they ever occur.
So let Trump die a painful, humiliating death, but let that happen after the sentencing phase of the trial.
Nasruddin
(1,127 posts)He's not going anywhere. Who'd fly that plane? Besides, the US operates with more or less impunity everywhere in the world with 1 or 2 exceptions, & he cannot reach those places easily. He's much too much of a security risk to let run free.
He's not going to expire. In fact, even if his body dies, he will simply live on forever. What original stuff has he said in public
in years? They'll just replay the old images / deep fake him. Maybe a little animatronics for fun. The grift is too important.
Who says you can't elect a dead man - you just can't die in office. If you're already dead, you're home free!
Anyway, one thing he said is right - he probably has very good genes. He will probably outlive most of us.
And a third no - he's not going to any psych or dementia ward. I gave up on that comforting fairy tale a long time ago.
He may have a brain unlike any other, but he knows what he's doing.

Warpy
(114,045 posts)within fairly short order. The problem is that he'd probably have to land for refueling before it got to the UAE, they don't have an extradition treaty, they aren't part of NATO, and they do have golf, lots of golf. Plus, he'd be in great company (for him), it's where a lot of dictators have fled rather than face the music, along with that president of Afghanistan who took most of the treasury with him.
He is more likely to stay here and dare the government to jail him, even once it becomes clear his cult is allbluster and little action. He will spend down his fortune keeping his money losing golf courses beyond all reason and trying to stay out of prison. He will die of Alzheimer's, most likely.

(14,903 posts)Primary radar would still paint the target and there are other more sophisticated means to accurately pinpoint where it is without a transponder signal interrogation.
Warpy
(114,045 posts)You know, "he wouldn't be that stupid and we lifted all his passports." You know John Barron has at least one passport parked with a crooked lawyer who's still speaking to him.
They'd trace him to the UAE maybe a month later. Maybe they'd cooperate, maybe they wouldn't. My money's on the latter.
Disaffected
(5,954 posts)At least the one about him flying off to some friendly country. Is he still under no travel restrictions? If so, he can travel wherever he wants and with no fear of reprisals let alone preventing him from taking off etc.
And I find it very hard to believe that his plane would be shot down under any realistic circumstances.

That seems pretty much like an inference (and no-one said you said the plane "will" be shot down).
In any case, as I mentioned, is he not free to travel(?) and, if so, the entire debate is moot.
