Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis 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.
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
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???
Edit: Apparently a DA does NOT have the power to issue arrest orders. So I’m not sure what leverage she has to ask them to surrender, or what that even means in this context. The headline still reflects what the DA said though.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
Obviously he is not alone. sigh
Judging by his upvotes and your downvotes.
I mean, you’re the one who failed reading comprehension. The title is 100% intentionally misleading.
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
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?
stochastic terrorism
You should pay your autocorrect better ;-)
Oh so you’re just a crayon eating moron then.
I don’t think I get your point.
The dumb ex-President will be running for reelection next year, so unfortunately we have to care about him
I hope he runs to take votes away from DeSantis.
Are you familiar with primary elections?
Yes, and I’d prefer if someone other than Trump or DeSantis be the Republican nominee.
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.
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.
… implying that some dumb ex-president attempting a self coup to prevent the lawful transfer of power isn’t a serious issue.
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.
Can you explain to me how you came to that conclusion? When the biggest threat to democracy is running in the next presidential election, this is a pretty serious issue happening right fucking now in this country.
If you think trump isn’t still relevant in the political landscape then you don’t understand how anything works man.
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.
