President Trump and US politics catchall

[Guy Smiley]

[Hal Jordan]

Orangeman says No Surrender. Depressingly unoriginal.

And 6'3" and 215 pounds? That's Mohammed Ali when he fought Frazier.

[TB63]

[Gumboot]

Yeah, in real money 215lb is about 97kg. His arse alone must weigh that much.

[Hal Jordan]

215 pounds is 15 and a bit stone in terms I understand, or 97.5 kg for the metric folks.

I am 6' nothing tall and have definitely put on half a stone in the last year, so would put my middle aged spread at 16 stone/101kg/224lbs. Like fuck is my physique worse than Trump's flabby arse.

Trump is easily over 20 stone - 280lbs or 127kg. In rugby terms that's about a Zander Fagerson but with Trumps weight distributed differently! Feels about right to me?

TDS is real.

He is deranged, yes.

[Rhubarb & Custard]

'tis a very Trumpian thing to consider he's some new variant and his condition needs its own name, rather than he's just a run of the mill narcissistic sociopath

[TedMaul]

I’m sure our resident poet could put together a lilting stanza or two starting with ‘tis a Trumpian thing.
Some limericks are immediately available.

Donald Trump's recent arrest in Atlanta has led to an interesting revelation about the former President: He's built like a world-class athlete.

The 77-year-old Trump self-reported his height and weight at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds prior to his booking at Fulton County jail on Thursday. That's a dramatic improvement from the 6-foot-2, 240 pounds he claimed in April, when he was indicted in New York on allegations of falsifying business records.

By growing an inch and losing 25 pounds, Trump practically shares the same dimensions with Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, current heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and none other than Muhammad Ali.

[Insane_Homer]

At the weigh in for the Rumble in the Jungle, Mohammed Ali was 216lbs at 6ft 3 inch

[Uncle fester]

Trump does have the look of a natural athlete though.

Absolutely ! ........ Sumo

There's something very satisfying about the traitor getting convicted, because he is a tight arse cunt !

In Georgia, he is part of a large conspiracy, that he was ultimately behind, but now he isn't standing by the various gobshites who committed crimes on his behalf, so now, instead of spending ~$20-40 million of the grift he's gathered to allow his co-defendants to get decent lawyers, he prefers to keep the money, & let them flip, & take pleas.

It just goes to show what a pig ignorant scrote he is.

Does he think he can take the money with him ?

Bizarrely, it seems he would prefer to be in prison, than be free & just a millionaire

[Rhubarb & Custard]

the billionaire hasn't even paid the bail for himself, or the other defendants, instead using a bail bondsman.

so he's either so rich he doesn't care about paying up the fee for someone else to fill out the form, or he's got some problems getting his hands on the money, either a real problem or he's short cash as of today

[Kiwias]

He very clearly does not do irony. This was posted the same day he surrendered at Fulton County Jail.

[Sinkers]

And this was on Twitter right? Not goof social or whatever it’s called.

[Gumboot]

He was always going to monetise it. Grifters gonna grift. And suckers gonna buy.

Nah, afraid not. In a lot of places, you have to use a bondsman, the county doesn't want to wonder where the money came from for bail.

He probably thinks he can bully his way out of it.

Do they wonder where the money to pay the bond comes from?

Seems harsh too, even if you have the means you have to pay a not insignificant fee. All part of their insane for profit justice system perhaps

That's the bailbonds mans problem !, but he too will want to know, as he could have to forfeit it, if it turns out to be the proceeds of crime. If the bail is small enough, you can often skip the bondsman, but when you're talking about 100, or 200k, there's no way to get out of going thru a bondsman.

So even if you have the means, you have to pay 10% (or perhaps less on a larger amount) and that's simply gone even if you're not proved guilty?

Can you use property is cash is a concern?

How is this not perceived as a legal con job?

Well first you have to be charged for something, & then be arraigned, & then in a lot of minor cases you might just be released on your own recognizance. As the seriousness of the charges ramps up, or if you've a track record of running, or the court decides that you need an incentive to show up for your court date, then they're going to demand bail. If you're getting hit with a $100k bail, stumping up $10k is the least of your problems !, because you're relying on an overworked Public Defender, & that's why the US has such a huge percentage of it's population in Prison.

Still the point would stand the system is forcing you to give up 10% (for the sake of argument) of the bail money to support the system if you could but are not allowed to post your own bail. Which is to say the justice system proceeds in an unjust manner in this

[Hal Jordan]

So Trump has won another gold championship, apparently the 50th plus club championship he has claimed at courses he owns.

It is a tragedy for the sport that he was never able to play Kim Jong-Il.

Did a long post bragging about it.

Roomer are strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate. Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?

Roomer?..

[Uncle fester]

Speaking of Ron.

[fishfoodie]

Meatball took time out from the failing campaign, to return to Florida, to attend a vigil for those murdered by a racist terrorist

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66637476

Seems some people don't appreciate Ron loosening gun laws so that a person with a history of involuntary holds for MH issues, had no problem legally getting guns, or his stoking of racial tensions with an endless set of policies that no-one is asking for.

He has to put that on the way Bojo puts on his bumbling. Trump is a stupid cunt but not that stupid

I suspect you give him more credit than he deserves. If you listen to him carefully when being interviewed or holding a discussion (not his staged rallies) then his sentence construction and use of vocabulary is very limited and probably that of a UK 12 year old. His reading skills are also very poor, his pronunciation is awful and he doesn't really get to grips with punctuation at all, often finishing sentences at the end of the line rather than at full stops. Again I suspect he has a reading age well below what it should be. Whilst he might be 'street wise' I suspect he would struggle to get to English GCSE/Standard Grade level in the UK.

[TB63]

Well he corrected Roomer, but then....

I NEVER HAD AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, I HAD AN IMPEACHMENT, WHICH I WON! IT WAS STARTED IMMEDIATELY, NO MEETINGS, NO STUDY, NO DELAYS. THE LUNATIC FASCHISTS & MARXISTS PLAY THE GAME DIFFERENTLY. THEY ARE OUT TO DESTROY AMERICA. MAGA!

Faschists eh, better look out for them....

[Uncle fester]

It's Fashism but not as we know it.

[derriz]

He's a complete cunt alright but he's not stupid at all. The biggest mistake his opponents and the liberals in the US make is thinking he's stupid or dumb and thinking that pointing this out will damage him.

The bullshit he comes out with makes him newsworthy and popular with his base - which is what he's goal is.

It's like trolling an internet forum - the most effective way to get people wound-up and lose their shit and respond - thus attracting attention - is to say shit that sounds stupid and make it sound like you believe it.

Years ago I saw him with AliG and he twigged Cohen immediately while respectable politicians, academics, educated people across the US were taken for fools.

That's because he doesn't trust anyone. He's not a bright man outside of a very narrow field - he knows quite a bit about some things and can absolutely play people, but everything you hear about what he's like in private suggests he's as dumb as he appears.

I'm sure he was brighter back in the day but he's old now, too.

[Uncle fester]

A lot of successful business people are quite intellectually dim.

They just need to be street smart to get the actual clever people to do the work for them.
