There are reports that Donald Trump will be surrendering himself to Fulton County jail tomorrow, ahead of the Friday deadline to do so. Trump has been indicted on RICO charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Parody songsmith Randy Rainbow dropped his latest video yesterday, just in time for Trump’s surrender. Rainbow’s choice of song? “Don’t Arraign on His Parade!”, a twist on the Funny Girl classic, “Don’t Rain On My Parade”.
Watch below.
As Rainbow points out, Trump now faces 91 separate felony charges across his four indictments. Many observers view the Georgia indictment as potentially the most serious.
Officials in Georgia, unlike his other cases, will be allowing cameras inside the courtroom (if Trump’s trial goes ahead as scheduled). There’s also speculation that he will have to pose for a mugshot.
Surrendering during peak viewing hours
According to the Guardian, Trump’s lawyers have arranged for the former President’s booking to take place at the jail on Thursday evening. The outlet points out this is prime viewing hours for the cable news networks, maximizing viewing figures for the event.
District Attorney Fani Willis has approved a bond of $200,000 for Trump. He appeared to mock this earlier this week, suggesting he was not a flight risk as he is so recognizable. He said he might skip off to Russia on his own Trump plane.
“The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me,” Trump said. “I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a ‘flight’ risk – I’d fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again. Would I be able to take my very ‘understated’ airplane with the gold TRUMP affixed for all to see. Probably not, I’d be much better off flying commercial – I’m sure nobody would recognize me!”

Another great video from Randy Rainbow.
Drumpf need to be mocked and humiliated and anything else to make him go away and stop destroying America.

He feeds off it. When he’s not inhaling fat.

I’m always happy when Randy enters the culture again!
abfab

How about Donald Justdiealready Trump?

Jail where Trump will be booked in Georgia has long been plagued with violence

Good. He’ll feel right at home.
correctio
because trump comes from a home with lots of violence in it? “he’ll feel right at home” — what does that even mean?
abfab
Grabbing women by thier puss ies. Check the violent box creep.
abfab
His father beat the shit out of him physically and verbally. Get the picture, GOPTROLL?
Kangol2
Correctio, it’s a figure of speech. You know, of the kind that has existed as long as humans have been speaking creatures? To break it down for you, Don the Con FIGURATIVELY will “feel right at home” in a violent place, because that’s where the Orange Ogre’s mind is, mired in violence and abjection, and he LITERALLY will feel right at home because he grew up in a cruel, loveless home presided over by a multimillionaire, KKK-linked racist monster.
correctio
oh yeah, I get it now. the joke is that djt was abused by his father. ha ha ha

I hope Barbra sees this; she’ll plotz from it already!

Knowing Barbra she must be kvelling!

Hilarious! Towleroad always had a link to Randy’s videos – maybe in the Monday roundup.

Mr Rainbow is just not funny. And an impeachment does not mean he’s guilty, people seem to forget that. I don’t know why everyone counts the number charges because the democrats could throw everything in there hoping at least one charge will stick.

Or you could just join your friends over on Fake News and get some validation over there for your anti-LGBTQ community views. And spare us any justification for your homophobic views fitting in to this website’s viewpoints. Randy Rainbow does a great job of making light of a very serious issue – Donald Jessica and his lying minions may yet overthrow this democracy and put us all in jail.
correctio
yet again I find that ShaverC is the rare voice of reason here. Calling trump “Donald Jessica Trump”? How is that funny? it’s literally the same stupid humor that bullies used on me in middle school (and probably lots of men on this site) i.e., “let’s call the gay kid a girl’s name!”
Randy Rainbow is not funny
Bob
Is Trumpy the gay kid in your message?? Thanks, I just threw up in my mouth..
correctio
*sigh*
no, I am the gay kid (or was, when I was a kid). people made fun of me for being effeminate and called me by a girl’s name. why should I do the same to donald trump? why should I laugh at Randy Rainbow for doing it?
I hate djtrump but I also have principles. it’s good to stand up against trump, but it’s better to stand FOR something
dbmcvey
I love Shaver signing on as correctio and calling himself the voice of reason.
It’s the weird obsession with trans people that gives you away.
correctio
@dbmcvey nothing I have said on this page is about trans people
bachy
@correctio: Randy Rainbow serves what I call “drag humor” – cross-dressing, showtunes, giving everyone a “girl” name (har har), etc. It’s not my type of humor either, but this site and Rainbow’s videos service the drag community and their fan base.
Yes, you will also find bears, DILFs, wolves, otters, twinks, NBs, transgenders, queers, agenders, tops, bottoms, sides, the whole identity hodgepodge including heteronormative “marriage & children” types on Queerty. Each group has at least some insider jokes that may be obscure (or just not funny) to others. But this is where drag queens and their fans can be reached – and as you can see there is a huge audience for the genre.
correctio
@bachy fair enough, but I would characterize Randy Rainbow fans as “boomers”
dbmcvey
Mr. Rainbow doesn’t care what conservative trolls on a gay site think about him. He, unlike Shaver& correctio has an actual life.
bachy
If one supports the increasing fragmentation of identity politics, we’re going to have to find a way to not just exterminate, but try to understand and at least tolerate a wider range of political opinions.
ShaverC
dbmcvey, I have no obsession for trans people.
dbmcvey
You do Shaver, and it’s really creepy.
Mister P
Shaves who believes trans people don’t exist and wants to erase them also believes Trump is not guilty and Rainbow is not funny.
Surprise! The right wing troll is trolling!
ShaverC
Of course trans people exist, but no one is “non-binary” in real life.
abfab
Shaver, you can’t cope with ”real life.”
dbmcvey
Shaver, why do you care about “non-binary”? It has no effect on you. It’s a concept, a construct, like gender is anyway. We used to call it “gender-f*ck.”
ShaverC
dbmcvey, If it was just a concept I wouldn’t care, but the small but very loud and sometimes violent minority who feel that way are trying to force me to believe their delusion.
