Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
They don't actually weigh you in jail. They just use whatever's on your ID. Ask me how I know.
you have your weight on your ids?!
I'm from the USA and yes, my ID lists my weight at the time I got it.
I'm so much fatter now...
Escape authorities with this one simple trick!
What did you expect eating all that glitter?
🤣💨✨
And even then you lied about your weight!
our german ids show height and eye-color, but no weight.
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.
and you told the truth?
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.
And you think someone with the Olympic-level of narcissism that Trump has put their real weight on there? That's really the point
Yeah
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.
When he's not wearing his spray tan, lifts or that combover I guarantee nobody will recognise him.
I thought I read the Sheriff at the jail said he would go through the normal process.
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.
Omg keep going with the first part. What happens next?
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.
Oh shit.
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.
Wait, that guy is now in Congress?
...yep. Wow. Just wow.
Exactly...
