It will be Trump’s fourth arrest since April, when he became the first former president in U.S. history to face indictment. Since then, Trump, who remains the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, has had what has seemed like an endless procession of bookings and arraignments in jurisdictions across the country. His appearances in New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., have drawn enormous media attention, with news helicopters tracking his every move.

    Could someone please handcuff this guy, even for 10 minutes? People get beaten with sticks for stealing $20 of groceries.

      Knowing our two-tiered just system Trump will simply be asked his height and weight and will be allowed to use a professional headshot as his muggie.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Donald Trump says he will surrender to authorities in Georgia on Thursday to face charges in the case accusing him of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.

    The Department of Justice last month opened a civil rights investigation into conditions, citing filthy cells, violence and the death last year of a man whose body was found covered in insects in the main jail’s psychiatric wing.

    “Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said at a news conference earlier this month.

    Trump was charged last week in the case alongside a slew of allies, who prosecutors say conspired to subvert the will of voters in a desperate bid to keep the Republican in the White House after he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

    In a post on Monday, Trump called the Fulton County district attorney “crooked, incompetent, & highly partisan.” He also attacked Kemp, whom he has long targeted for the governor’s refusal to intervene after the 2020 election.

    The Georgia indictment came just two weeks after the Justice Department special counsel charged Trump in a separate case in a vast conspiracy to overturn the election.


    The original article contains 1,158 words, the summary contains 215 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      You know… if I were running intake or whatever…. I’d totally just troll the shit out of everyone. Pretend I don’t know who the guy is. Make him produce identifications- plural- tell the secret service goons to get lost if they’re not surrendering.

      All of it,

        It would serve him right considering the number of times he’s said he didn’t know who someone was when they got caught breaking the law for him.

      The important thing to remember here is that it’s only improving with people who are already inclined to vote for him. He’s getting a larger and larger percentage of a shrinking group.

      Fuck that shit. The justice supposed to be blind. I can’t believe he isn’t already in arrest waiting for trial. If I did fraction what he did I don’t think I would see the light of day.

    As much of a Trump as he is, my tinfoil hat theory is that we really, really need to keep this guy from getting Epstein’d. Have extra windows and livestream cameras if necessary. Cause if it happens, dems are 100% getting blamed and a few riots would be the best case scenario.

    (No, I’m not advocating for it, just predicting it would happen in my rando crackpot theory.)

      Whenever he passes normally from natural causes, obviously the insane people in a particular part of his fan base, inflamed by intentional manipulators, will absolutely lose it.
