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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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?

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.
