Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

My dad used to smuggly say this all the time. Look who is laughing now that he is maga cuck
no it's completely ridiculous how many things they will misuse in exactly this way.. there is strange magic afoot, friends.. keep your wits about you..
"...according to figures provided first to POLITICO by his campaign."
The same group that said 6'3" 215, right?
STOP taking headlines on face value and check/challenge actual sources of information (I.e. trump campaign)
Ummm isn't trump the "group" that said he was 6'3" 215. How the fuck is politico suppose to take the heat for trump being vain as fuck?
Politico is part of Axel Springer now, the German wannabe murdoch clone. Take everything with a grain of salt.
Good. Every dime he gets takes a dime from GOP candidates.
He bankrupted two casinos, let's hope he destroys the GOP
He definitely helped destroy the GOP currently. They split their voter base between typical conservatives and Trump (tm) voters. And with with desaints falling flat in Florida recently i doubt there will be enough support for him as a mainline conservative
villagers throwing money down a well, because they believe something down there likes them
I just do not understand how this Zoolander mugshot can motivate people for anything but laughter. But apparently they even give money after seeing it.
Are you even allowed to hold your head like that in a mugshot though? My passport photos had all kinds a crazy rules.
Grifters gonna grift.
How much of that is just laundering Russian money?
Can we see the donor list, please?
Russia has any money left?
Oh for sure. This is the most iconic image in us political history and all sides are fundraising off of it.
The biggest thing I've got from the mugshot is that Crybaby Trump must never again have any nuclear launch codes.
IDK about most iconic. Raising flag over Iwo Jima photo? 9/11 photos? JFK portrait photo? Just off the top of my head.
Trump doing a mini fundraiser over the whole "look how mad I am for the true Americans" B.S. expression he put on. Dems basically just saying "look at this dumbass" and ready to forget it within a week.
If he's convicted, does this count as proceeds gained via criminal activity, which he would then forfeit?
Nah, it's specifically not a crime to be arrested, that'd be an infinite jail glitch.
He'll waste it all on lawyers whose job will be to disprove hard evidence though, since he's very guilty, so it'll be fine.
That'll buy a lot of soap and toothpaste from the prison commissary!
He is going to buy ramen and use the flavor packets as spray tan.
To be fair, that mug shot was going to be printed on Tshirts and sold for millions to both sides of the spectrum regardless of who was selling it. It somehow really is an awesome mugshot.
Sure pal
