NOBODY HAS EVER FOUGHT FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY LIKE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. FOR DOING SO, I WILL PROUDLY BE ARRESTED TOMORROW AFTERNOON IN GEORGIA. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

I would have used "unapologetically arrested" but a compelling piece nonetheless

The GOP War on Wokeness Could Shut Down the Government

 

The old men at the table on the other side of the diner have declared Trump as a political prisoner, just like Nelson Mandela. These pancakes can’t get here fast enough.

 

My Trump weight prediction: 284

They can’t have him weighing 300+ out of embarrassment, and anything in the 290s would be seen as a blatantly obvious fake to avoid making him 300, so they’ll put him in the 280s.

 

"They" are criminally indicting him. Why on earth would they worry about embarrassing him?

 

They aren't releasing his weight.

 

Special treatment since he’s an ex-president.

 

Because his fawning disciples would be upset and might get angry.

 

Just a hunch, but I suspect indicting, arresting, booking, arraigning, trying and jailing him might piss them off a little more.

"The numbers are what we say they are, and if they come in differently, they're STILL what we say they are."

 

These are individuals whose knowledge of American government is limited to flags and lapel pins.
