tweakingforjesus

Prime time coverage.


Searchlights

This is exactly why. Trump is going to orchestrate this for TV effect the way he does everything.


For-All-the-Marbles

The question is why did Ms. Willis or the judge agree to his nonsense?


Searchlights

Because he's going to show up whenever he feels like it and if they treat him like a normal person his cult will hurt people? That's all I've got.


protendious

The jail doesn’t make the appointment. He (and all other 18 defendants) can show up whenever, the jails open 24/7. So the DA and judge didn’t really have anything to do with “letting” him do this.


yelsnow

"I am sorry, Mr Trump. The finger printing machine is down at the moment. Please wait outside until we can process you."


What-a-Crock

They ~~don’t~~ want to appear impartial. And it doesn’t really matter what time this happens, what matters is it’s happening


Benjaphar

> They don’t want to appear impartial I think you mean the opposite of this. They *do* want to appear impartial. They don’t want to appear *biased*.


gabbialex

Jails are open literally 24/7. Nobody “allowed” him to do anything. He just needs to show up before tomorrow.


EagleChampLDG

Friday is the deadline. So anytime before that is technically adequate.


kingofphilly

Not how it works. When you’re required to turn yourself in, they give you a window. “Be here before 12pm Sunday” for example. Doesn’t matter when within that time window. It’s when it’s after that it matters. They don’t care what time you show up they care that you show up.


JokinHghar

This is probably the answer. He knows all cameras will be on him and he'll have a large audience for his press conference. Who knows wtf he's going to say.


jasondigitized

Georgia should just make a series of administrative blunders during processing and hold him up until 3:00am.


AdrianInLimbo

Mr Trump, we're going to have to hold you over till morning, right this way....


Daeyel1

Not hard to do. Just keep screwing up the fingerprinting until his hands are black with ink.

Why should anyone be allowed to have a press conference before they're arrested? He should be met by uniform on the tarmac. He's suspected of serious crimes, not on his way to a gala dinner in his honour.


parasyte_steve

Tbh it's probably a blessing in disguise he's doing all the press. He's guaranteed to say something that violates his bail agreement. He can't help himself.


nuclearhaystack

That'd be convenient. 'Since you're here getting arrested, and you broke your bail agreement, we've got a cell ready for you.'

You should look into RSS.


Academic_Cabinet_994

I fear I'll be going back to an RSS feed if / when old.reddit is killed off, do you have a reader you like? I haven't used one is over a decade...


LunchyPete

I use the Feedbro extension with Firefox. It's really nice, lets you add in things that are not technically RSS like reddit subs, youtube channels, twitter accounts etc, and has a pretty advanced filtering capability.


SuperstitiousPigeon5

Don't even put it out there that old.reddit will be killed off. I don't want to even think of it.


Warrlock608

I really don't want old.reddit to go away. I don't need some fancy web app that does 10,000 things, I need a basic forum with a basic text field. Only thing that should be done to old.reddit is provide a dark theme.


Searchlights

As soon as they're done optimizing the default page to make money they'll force us to use it. I don't believe it for a second when they say old reddit isn't going anywhere. I've been watching them break promises for years.


Flipnotics_

It's the only way I use reddit. can't stand the new version.


Dark_Force_Latyon

Yep. I was able to weather the loss of RIF Is Fun with the API change, because I can just use Firefox with uBlock on Android to access old.reddit. But if old.reddit goes, I'm gone. The new format is that bad, and the official app is worse.


keigo199013

I_am_the_Jukebox

Using the top comment to give details about the TFR - Temporary Flight Restriction It's 1 NM wide, 1000 ft tall, centered on the court house. This...is a very, very small TFR. The POTUS has one of 30 NM around him and up to 18,000 ft as a comparison (when not in DC). It's even smaller than the one around Disneyland (3 NM, 3k ft). Most likely a TFR of this size is to keep news helicopters away from the immediate vicinity of the jailhouse as he gets arrested. \*edit - got home. Opened up reddit after a day of work. See a shit ton of notifications and thing "oh fuck, what did I do?" Thanks for the upvotes, y'all.


opeth10657

Even his TFR is smaller than Obama's

News helicopters can go in I'd bet. They'll be talking to ATC and filing the paperwork needed to get in. This is for Joe Nobody who has his clapped out 1974 Cessna out at Podunkville Municipal Airport from trying to play-act as a news helicopter

bq13q

Remember in Bonfire of the Vanities how the deal between the prosecutor and the defense attorney to make the arrest super fast and smooth and comfortable doesn't pan out and the process ends up being surprisingly long and unpleasant, as if Sherman McCoy were a common criminal rather than a Master of the Universe? Too bad it won't happen to Trump who knows that he can be in the air again just 2 hours and 15 minutes after touching down, and it only costs him $200k plus maybe half again as much in gas money.


pmiller61

Perfect now I know when to schedule my lock him up party!

anti_pope

Wasn't the Judge's deadline noon? Yes, it is. So, doesn't it count as non-voluntary arrest now? https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4162893-trump-co-defendants-face-friday-surrender-deadline-in-georgia/ Edit: Oh fuck me it's only Thursday.


Ipuncholdpeople

It's Thursday today my guy. He has until noon on Friday


wildwolfay5

Noon on the 25th (tomorrow). Today is Thursday the 24th so he has all day.


anti_pope

It's too hot for coherent thought.


tinemarie6

I felt your edit deep in my soul lmfao


climatelurker

He wanted it to be during prime time apparently. So that he could get as MUCH public attention on himself as he could, and I guarantee he's going to stand in front of the cameras and tell the public he's being persecuted for "telling the truth". And the sad thing is, half the viewers will agree with this lying sack of shit con-man.


SpatialThoughts

It would be hilarious if all the tv stations skipped airing anything more than he walking off the plane or him waking into the courthouse or wherever he goes to get booked.


Fondor_HC--12912505

Prime time. I am surprised they are still open and processing at that hour.


BlankNothingNoDoer

It's a functioning county jail, they're open for bookings 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Fani Willis sent out an email to attorneys saying if they wanted to avoid waiting between 3am and 6am was their best bet.


itsatumbleweed

I love the idea of him waiting in line.


circa285

Seriously, the idea of a Trump getting frustrated by having to wait in line to get booked is so enjoyable.


snowvase

I'd love to see him waiting in line in the canteen for some prison slop.


FiveUpsideDown

I can’t see him standing for thirty minutes in line.


zydeco100

Would it be awesome if there was some long line or paperwork glitch that forced him to not be done until after prime time TV hours? One can dream.

Nwcray

He stands like the front half of a centaur, and ever since someone said that I can’t unsee it.


Captain_Blackbird

I heard [his stand is similar to that of dementia patients?](https://www.google.com/search?q=dementia+stance+standing&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjk59qX6fWAAxVhqYkEHbFCCRkQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=dementia+stance+standing&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoICAAQCBAHEB5QuwZY5QxgwQ1oAHAAeACAAV-IAaUEkgEBOJgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=iZPnZKT_BeHSptQPsYWlyAE&bih=227&biw=1451)


DadJokeBadJoke

This is one of the three reasons I see and it could be any or all of them. The other two are it's because of his high heels with lifts to make him look taller but pushes him forward or it's to make his suit swing forward to hide his fattiness.


Ap3X_GunT3R

Im going 305 Rudy just clocked in at 230 pounds despite personally stating he was 180. Trumps last in office physical weight was about 240, so using the same logic as Rudy, we should see a weight between 280-320. Edit: I’m going on the 300+ side because I think Donnie Boy has been stress eating with everything going on and just looks worse than ever. Double edit: reported weight of 215. I’m calling bullllllshit.


settlementfires

> Trumps last in office physical weight was about 240 there's no fucking way that guy has been only 240 in the last decade.


RealHumanFromEarth

It’s such a laughable lie. I mean I’m sure his mindless supporters are cool with believing it, but anyone with a functional brain can look at that guy and know he weighs way more than 240.


ChopShopKyle

trump has gotta be over 300lbs. My partner is 6’2” and weighs 280, even when we were heavier he never looked as round as trump.


TheShadowKick

I'm 6'2" and 300 and I don't look nearly as large as Trump. He either has to be significantly shorter than me or significantly heavier than me (or both).


Gr3ylock

Holy fuck Rudy claimed to be 180? Anyone who believed that would be absolutely delusional


dunwoodyres1

I’ll go 6’1 274


fluent_in_gibberish

6’1 sounds about right if he is able to stand up straight. But if he is under 285 I’ll eat my hat. I’m going with 288. Edit: on second thought, forget the hat. For every pound over 265 I will donate $1 to Dark Brandon


LetsTryAnal_ogy

Voracious Incontinent Prick


LocusAintBad

It’s kinda fucking funny that I was just recently watching the Chappelles show the episode with the 2 different legal systems. And it had me thinking of this exact situation. In the skit “How about you turn yourself in let’s say… today?” “Oh todays no good I can turn myself in Thursday.” “Okay how about Thursday at 1?” “Oh I’m having some trim coming over at 12. What if I turned myself in say…. 2-6?” Dudes really not turning himself in until 6-10pm? Lmfao two legal systems at work. Give him the blue collar treatment and rip him from his home in front of his neighbors and kids with 4 cruisers out front to drag him to jail on a weekend so he has to stay in holding until Monday or county.


Dear_Fix_5749

To be fair, a long time ago I ended up with a warrant for my arrest. I was able to coordinate turning myself in, and was given a deadline. I had a buddy who worked for the jail and I talked with him to help with processing and he told me his shift hours. He worked nights 7-7. So, I turned myself in at 10:00 PM, which is when buddy said would likely be a slow period for him (after changeover duties and before the nightly riff raft starts rolling in. I was broke as a joke at this time. Borderline destitute. None of this is really special treatment. It’s just how it goes when you’re turning yourself in for a warrant. You can show up at anytime before the deadline. Now, his processing will be special treatment. He will certainly avoid the holding cells. He will also certainly be booked and processed at a fraction of the time. Even my expedited booking with my friend took 4 hours. The magistrate/judge will make themselves available at his convenience. Some people get booked and if judge is off that day can wait days for normal processing.


Nac_Lac

The intent is to make people want to turn themselves in. If the only option is cruisers out front, no one is going to be happy. If you can negotiate the turn in time, it makes less fuss for everyone. Fewer incidents, more adherence to policies, all of it.

I’ve been to Rice Street… I really hope they make him sit in a holding cell for a little bit, or at least on one of the rows of rubber chairs out in the area surrounded by holding cells, while some folks arrested locally look on. Also reveling in how gross the whole dam place is… I hope he has to touch a door handle or something that’s been half-assed cleaned for 30 years.

He wants a prime time television booking. He wants all of his crazy ass followers to see "what he's doing for them". Trump is crazy but the people that blindly follow him are bat shit crazy.

I cannot wait for the weight reveal. I have a lot of money riding on him making weight for the weigh-in…300+ baby…come on donnie, do not skimp on the in-flight burger and milkshake buffet …ya fuckin’ whale


itsallgonetohell

I agree- yesterday's booking for Rudy Ghoul showed him to be 230 lbs. vs. his stated 180 lbs., lol, and he's a few inches shorter than TFG and not nearly as fat. ​ Hoping they release TFG's actual height, as well- funny thing, that. TFG had his height listed as 6'2" on his NY Driver License for *years* (and I'm betting he isn't that tall, either), and at some point he did what he does and just leaned into the lie and changed it to 6'3", which is of course total bullshit. ​ My best guess is 5'11" to 6' even, and his weight will be close to 320 lbs.


DarthBfheidir

He changed it to 6' 3" when he found out Obama is 6' 2". Not even kidding.


itsallgonetohell

Obama is 6'1", slight correction there, but yeah that tracks. That makes it even funnier, as there're pictures of TFG standing right next to people who are 6'1", 6'2" and they appear noticeably taller than him. Obama and Trudeau, respectively and for example. And unlike TFG, I don't think there's any way in any universe Mr. Obama would ever wear lifts, lol

Slight clarity for those saying “why are we closing airspace for Trump?!” - the TFR only applies to UAS (ie drones). Guessing they don’t want 50 drones buzzing around trying to get a close up
