Elon fudging the numbersMashable can report that, as of the publication of this article on Thursday evening, Carlson's Trump interview has received 14.8 million video views on X.
On X, it's not entirely clear to most users what the views metric refers to — many people believe, falsely, that the video of Carlson's Trump interview received 220 million views more than it actually received.

This number shows how many impressions a tweet receives
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?Hal Jordan wrote: Fri Aug 25, 2023 9:14 am 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.
He is deranged, yes.
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.
Absolutely ! ........ Sumo

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.Rhubarb & Custard wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 9:43 amDo they wonder where the money to pay the bond comes from?fishfoodie wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 8:13 amNah, afraid not.

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

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.Rhubarb & Custard wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 10:08 amfishfoodie wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 9:47 amThat'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.

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?
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 thisfishfoodie wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:31 am

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?
