Absquatulate? That's a new word to add to my vocabulary. The Felon absquatulated to Tasmania when he no longer got his way on immigration policies.
I guess Alaskans go to bars to drink milkshakes.

Love,
Janie

I would find it tempting to test the Alaskan law.

I think that in my distant past I knew the meaning of absquatulate but had forgotten it, probably that night I got drunk in a bar in Alaska when I pretty much forgot everything. The greatest absquatulator resides in that large white house in Washington, DC, you know, the one with the new ballroom under construction and filled with tacky gold trim, kind of like Nevada brothel decor. He is absqatulating with the nation’s dignity, obliterating its history, disparaging its people, permitting public executions on the streets, making racial slurs and insults the lingua franca of those in power. That’s real absquatulation.

That's a big word. I would go with absconded or left.

How I wish Trump would absquatulate off the face of the earth.
I am surprised about Alaska but this must come from the big gold rush in 1897

Illegal to get drunk in a bar? Does that mean every person found drunk gets arrested?
And I did not know "absquatulate."

Oh dear! What a bad butler!
