I’m sure he’ll be able to pay the fine or post bail or pay an attorney or…

There’s nothing you can do to him that he can’t afford.

Except, maybe, if Switzerland gives him a speeding ticket. They punish based on the individual’s income and wealth.

The Harris campaign should be all over this.

“Donald Trump is in trouble, that’s why he’s trying to buy votes in PA. And he’s too broke to do it himself, he needs a sugar daddy to pay the bill for him. Sad!”

He won’t pay out. I hope he gets run over by one of his shitty trucks.

I hope he gets Tetanus from the surface rust in the poorly constructed panel gaps or shitty amateur welds.

Something I learned later in life is that rust has nothing to do with tetanus. Tetanus occurs naturally in soil, so if you have your foot penetrated by an old nail on the ground you should make sure you’re up to date on tetanus shot. The nail would likely be rusty, which is where the rust = tetanus myth comes from.

I’m not sure if those welds are from amateurs. More likely from professionals acting their wage.

I’d sign his inane and meaningless petition for $1 million. It’s not even really a petition. It just says “The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.” Yeah dude, I know. I can read. Unfortunately I don’t live in a battleground state. Fortunately I live in a blue state. Unfortunately I now live close enough to the border that I get political ads for a state I don’t even fucking live in.

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!
