    I think the biggest news we’ll get out if this is his actual weight being recorded instead of a clean bill of health by a fake doctor.

            Same. They didn’t even weigh me, just asked how much I weighed though. Same for height.

            What kind of ID are you talking about? I’m in the US, too, and never heard of it.

            Edit: Seems it depends on your state.

              I did. Why not? It’s not like anyone is ever looking at the weight on your ID anyway. Didn’t really have a reason to lie.

      He’s done this three times now. He’ll just pay his bond and leave. They aren’t going to fingerprint or give him a mugshot or anything because everyone in the world can pick his orange ass out of a crowd.

        I was hoping it’d be more like the jail scene from Guardians of the Galaxy, but I understand that’s a bit overzealous.

          In a just world he’d be marched down the street, Game of Thrones-style (for the love of god, fully clothed), getting pelted by all sorts of gross shit, to the gallows, where a very “still drunk” executioner was waiting, Tudors-style. But given this fucker has skirted all accountability, that’s just the dream of sand that’s constantly falling through my hands.

              In the Tudors, a very still drunk executioner absolutely botches the execution, leading to a far more painful end by striking all but the neck, making the receiver endure more pain. It was pretty fucked up.

        I mean they said they would. Also the mugshots of the co-defendants that have already surrendered have been released by now, so it would be weird if he gets a special treatment.

      Hey, you’re talking about a sitting congressman who I suspect had no reason to say those things about a very not-corrupt, bestest toddler 👶(president), to help get that position.

        I’m sure there is a McDonald’s nearby secret service can fetch his meals from.

          Water would suffice for a few months given he’s obese. Probably do him a world of good too.

            Y would any sane person want to make him healthier? He’s got 3 years tops. I’m surprised he’s lived this long from what I’ve heard about his diet and lack of exercise.

              Doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, has a good doctor.

              Not that surprising.

        You don’t want him to stay in jail.

        Speak for yourself!

        Not only would I be ecstatic about that for all the obvious reasons, as an Atlanta resident I’d also appreciate more of a spotlight being put on what a shithole the Fulton County jail is, to help shame the county commission into fixing it.

    Surrender is the perfect word for the traitor

    The public demands that his mugshot and photos of him in cuffs and in an orange jumpsuit are released.

    Seeing him stripped of his fancy suit is the equivalent to what the Allies did to the emperor of Japan at the end of WW2. Before and during the war, the people of japan saw their emperor nearly as a god figure. Easy to justify the idea of kamikaze missions and not surrendering and not admitting defeat if they are in defense of a deity. When Japan lost, the Allies quickly moved to portray the emperor as just another regular old person to kill off that “god-like” image of the emperor’s.

    With how so many MAGAts see Trump as their lord emperor since they have been blinded by images of him with his jets and fancy suits and gold-plated toilet, seeing him in prison outfit can help crush Donald’s image of being rich, powerful and untouchable.

    Remember folks: We aren’t fighting a war of reality here. Image (real or otherwise) is just as important as the facts.

      The only problem with this is that the Trump campaign will probably rush to use that photo themselves in their materials. I mean they already put a fake mugshot on campaign tshirts, they won’t hesitate to use the real one. You know the base will eat it up.

        There are different levels of delusion. There are some core supporters that won’t change their minds no matter what. But that doesn’t represent the entire Republican Party. All we have to start doing is start chipping away at those on the edges. Those that voted for him, but maybe lost a few relatives to COVID and now that the adrenaline of chanting “lock her up” has passed, they are realizing that they lost their job and all their family is on their case. It isn’t an all-or-nothing situation. Some of these people can indeed wake up from the mass hysteria.

      You’ve got a bit of a non-sequitur in the transition between the last two paragraphs, bot.

          If he is anything like me it’s probably a big relief not having to see his penis.

    Makes sense to quash the Republican debate reactions. Even if someone breaks out it’ll be news for pretty much just Wednesday.

      The smart move would be for just every single one of them to spend the whole debate dunking on him. Then the next day he goes to jail like a wounded puppy (of they sent wounded puppies to jail…I lost the metaphor).

      But they won’t. Because they’re cowards.

        If Trump ordered his supporters to rise up, it would be over in 24 hours. These people have never met actual resistance in their lives.

          Wish they would rise up so we can squash their asses. I want those in Congress to rise up to so we can round up them too. The whole freedom cacus are nothing but fucking traitors.

          What protests and riots? What happened on J6 was orchestrated by him when he was still the president. If we don’t want anything like that again it’s better he is in jail.
