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!

CNN — Scott Hall, one of former President Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants in Georgia, turned himself in to the Fulton County jail on Tuesday.

Hall, who works as a bail bondsman in Atlanta, was charged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis with crimes related to his alleged involvement in the Coffee County, Georgia, voting systems breach.

Usually I would condemn this kind of behaviour as childish fat shaming.

But ffs I hate this cunt so much. I say 130kg. Which equals 286 gigglejuffs or whatever you Americans use.

We prefer "Hellarads" over here, thank you very much.

As someone who is 6'2 and 130kgs, either Trump doesn't carry it well or he weighs more than that.

Gigglejuffs might not be a recognized American Freedom unit, but honestly I'm surprised Stones isn't, innit that strange?

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

I was ~285/130kg years ago and I'm 6ft tall, I was never as fat as dump. I'm going to guess over 300 pounds or 136kg.

With all the stress hamberders, I wouldn't be surprised if the fat sack weighed over 300

[–] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I would be surprised but... Yea. I'm putting my money on 310

Do you think the stress has made him eat more or less? I bet that he's been fluctuating the last couple months, I feel like the unde might be the way to go
