Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Has someone beaten him up, or does he always look like that?

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think that's kinda just his face. Maybe that's what it looks like after several years of letting Trump slap him with his stumpy li'l shroom.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

He could getting the start of a booze/alcoholic nose. People like him probably need to be in a constant state of inebriation to do and say the things they do.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hahaha, what a mental image.

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Previous mugshots have been bad but not this bad. Looks like they made sure to grab the extra shitty camera for today and moved the lighting to be even worse

[–] socialjeffwarrior@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cocaine will make you swell up like that

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and try and start an insurrection, like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.

Yeah, I remember trying to start an insurrection. Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, throwback. It started off so familiar and took me to the end to figure it out. Kudos to you, person who watched the same TV show as me

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's an oldie, but a goodie, I'm just glad someone realised what I was going for and didn't think I'm rambling incoherently haha.

[–] cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

That's really bad image compression.

[–] jacked_off_at_astana@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Well, well, well, looks like someone's got themselves a fancy new mugshot. Quite the fashion statement, if I do say so myself. Wonder if they'll be selling autographed copies for the fans?

[–] 10_min_gorilla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well, well, well, looks like someone's got themselves a fancy new mugshot! Quite the fashion statement, if I do say so myself. Hope they took a good selfie for the 'gram before checking into the Georgia jail. Stay out of trouble, folks!

Here's the arrest list so far:

John Eastman, 5'7" 160 lbs

David Shafer, 5'5" 150 lbs

Kenneth Chesebro, 5'11" 185 lbs

Ray Stallings Smith III, 5'11" 195 lbs

Rudolph Giuliani, 5'11" 230 lbs

Sidney Powell, 6'0" 170 lbs

Jenna Ellis, 5'7" 130 lbs

Mark Meadows, 6'1" 240 lbs

Harrison Floyd, 5'11" 210 lbs

8 more traitors to go, less than 24 hours left.

Where'd you get those numbers? Someone posted a link yesterday listing Rudy at 5'9, 180 lbs

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/23/trump-lawyer-rudy-giuliani-to-surrender-in-georgia-election-case.html

230lbs seems more likely. The only thing that might be .180 is his BAC.

[–] ryrybang@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

All numbers come right off the Fulton Jails site. Just search for him (first name = Rudolph) and you can confirm. http://justice.fultoncountyga.gov/PAJailManager/default.aspx

[–] stillwater@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Haha what the fuck, they're listing Trump as 6'3" and 215 lbs?

I guess none of these details are accurate.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good to know, the document from that article might have been some sort of preliminary document or something.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Rudy at 5’9, 180 lbs

His booze gut alone might be 180lbs.

He also was not released on bond today. Meaning, he's sitting in a cell for the foreseeable future in Fulton. Unclear if he was not offered a bail deal (because of his prior FBI experience) or what. He does seem to be a danger to the public. But the 18 other people do as well.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That would be a horrible way to commit suicide, and right in front of his kid!

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Obviously he's dumb he's a Republican.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Always all bark, no bite.

[–] Heresy_generator@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Sidney Powell, 6’0" 170 lbs

I knew she was in the 99th percentile for crazy but I didn't realize she was also in the 99th percentile in height.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are they gonna weigh Trump? Please weigh Trump.

[–] thal3s@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m betting he’s at least 250#

[–] obviouspornalt@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago

If Meadows is 240, I'm thinking Trump is probably over 280

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Currently, bookies are placing the over/under at 278.5#. Yes, betting sites are taking bets on how much he will weigh in at.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

“Rudolph Giuliani, 5'11" 230 lbs”

How is that possible when he looks like such a shrimp even unaltered

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but what fashion labels were they wearing? We need the important gossip, not their weight.

[–] discussionHaver135 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like they're really rounding up quite a list there. Quite a diversity in heights and weights too, huh? And only 8 more to go? Well, let's see what happens in the next 24 hours.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do you think any of them took the last week to fast and lose weight so it didnt look so bad

[–] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Man, next season of The Biggest Loser is gonna be lit!

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I first read it as thief of staff, and I think I like mine better.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

From the White House to the Big House

[–] Objects@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

~~Mug shot?~~ never mind. They added it

[–] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Now are all of their bonds being carried by the same outfit?

If so, which one of them owns it?

[–] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1st time I've seen a set price on a case of this caliber.

[–] esadatari@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

it’s according to georgia law as far as how much they need to charge you for bail. it’s predetermined off of the crime and income and danger to society if i recall correctly.
