Fani Willis says Trump, 18 co-defendants to voluntarily surrender in Georgia by Aug. 25

liquefy4931 , 10 months ago

The DA giving Trump a grace period to turn himself in is very different from the post tile stating that Trump and 18 co-conspirators will turn themselves in.

Clickbaity bullshit

FlyingSquid , 10 months ago

If they don’t turn themselves in, there will be a warrant out for their arrest. A lot of them are stupid, but I don’t think any of them are that stupid.

FuglyDuck , 10 months ago

And trump really doesn’t have a choice.

The secret service will surrender him to keep him from doing something stupid. (Cuz you want a dead criminal ex-president… running from lawful arrest is how you get dead criminal ex presidents)

thepianistfroggollum , 10 months ago

Lol, what? You think Trump and everyone else cares about an ‘or else’ from Georgia? The dude straight up broke federal laws and bragged about it on live TV with absolutely no consequences.

They aren’t going to care about a warrant in Georgia.

FlyingSquid , 10 months ago

Yes, I think they will care when cops bust down their door and bring them out in cuffs.

thepianistfroggollum , 10 months ago

Yeah, that’s not going to happen for a warrant In Georgia if it didn’t happen for illegally hoarding classified documents and lying about it.

FlyingSquid , 10 months ago

You mean the thing the indicted people turned themselves in for and thus there were no warrants?

NewNewAccount , 10 months ago

We’re beginning to see the consequences now.

Either the title has been changed in the past 5 minutes, or you would fail even the most basic reading comprehension test.

Buffalox , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Obviously he is not alone. sigh

Judging by his upvotes and your downvotes.

thepianistfroggollum , 10 months ago

I mean, you’re the one who failed reading comprehension. The title is 100% intentionally misleading.

Buffalox , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

First Paragraph:

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

That’s basically exactly what the headline says:

Fani Willis says Trump, 18 co-defendants to voluntarily surrender in Georgia by Aug. 25

The word “WILL” is your own and is NOT in the headline, if they don’t do it voluntarily by that time, they will be arrested. So they are supposed to surrender voluntarily, if they don’t, the alternative is worse.

The article headline is spot on. How you (ATM) get 14 upvotes for your wrongful criticism is weird???

surewhynotlem , 10 months ago

“Jack to jump out of airplane” is a valid title. In titles you can shorten “will” to “to” and remove words like “an”.

So it’s an easy mistake to make.

Buffalox , 10 months ago

Yes that’s true.

But in this case it would be with an or else appended. You will surrender or else…

That’s still a bit of an overinterpretation of what the headline actually says.

thepianistfroggollum , 10 months ago

Because it’s not spot on. ‘To’ in this context means will. There’s no implied ‘gave’ except for what you inferred.

The person who wrote the headline specifically wrote it in a way that makes it sound Trump and his co-defendants were going to voluntarily turn themselves in because, “DA tells Trump he needs to turn himself in” isn’t going to get clicks.

JustZ , 10 months ago

Don’t remember that rule from the Chicago Manual. Where’d you get it?

Buffalox , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

There is an indictment, is it not normal that if people don’t respond to that, they are arrested by the court?

JustZ , 10 months ago

Yeah, if they are in the state or deemed a fugitive of justice, in which case a warrant can be served out of state upon application to the foreign state.

Headlines are written in a different grammatical style called Headlinese. This is not clickbait.

Hell yes! Nerd fight!

You people care more about some dumb ex-President then actually talking about serious issues happening in this country and it’s going to cost us the election next year

quicksand , 10 months ago

The dumb ex-President will be running for reelection next year, so unfortunately we have to care about him

thepianistfroggollum , 10 months ago

I hope he runs to take votes away from DeSantis.

NewNewAccount , 10 months ago

Are you familiar with primary elections?

thepianistfroggollum , 10 months ago

Yes, and I’d prefer if someone other than Trump or DeSantis be the Republican nominee.

be_excellent_to_each_other , 10 months ago

You mean the guy who is still the expected Republican nominee for 2024, and at whose urging stochastic terrorism is on the rise, but who has yet to see any consequences for his actions nor any legal consequences that would bar him from holding office? That dumb ex-President?

Treczoks , 10 months ago

stochastic terrorism

You should pay your autocorrect better ;-)

be_excellent_to_each_other , 10 months ago

I don't think I get your point.

People can care about more than one thing at a time, you know.

Trump is merely the latest Republican president to be caught cheating, though he did it in a spectacularly stupid and egregiously public way.

We didn’t pursue charges the last two times this happened, and look where that got us.

So it’s pretty weird that you don’t care to hold the man who is responsible for the first non-peaceful transition in the history of the presidency accountable for his attempt to deprive us of our right to select the people who represent us.

Thepinyaroma , 10 months ago

Yep, even if it were a either/or (it’s not) I’d rather justice be served than political expedience.

If doing the right thing and holding Trump accountable for his crimes costs us the election, fine. I’d rather be remembered by history as the generation that tried to do the right thing and failed.

Cruxifux , 10 months ago

If you think trump isn’t still relevant in the political landscape then you don’t understand how anything works man.

JackbyDev , 10 months ago

A serious issue happening in this country is that a president called up the secretary of state in Georgia and asked them to find more votes.

Unaware7013 , 10 months ago

.... implying that some dumb ex-president attempting a self coup to prevent the lawful transfer of power isn't a serious issue. Doubly so when he's attempting to get back in office.

Also, if you think going after obvious crimes will hurt the Democrats, I question your understanding of a lot of things.

deadtom , 10 months ago

Just the current republican front runner. The republican party of criminals, white supremacists and traitors needs to be reminded that nobody is above the law.
