Is Douchelini in Jail Yet??

Looks like a wax figure at "Bob's roadside wax figure emporium, America's #1 wax figure place in Smallville, Flyover State, behind the giant pumpkin".

We don't have a Bob's roadside wax figure emporium in Minnesota. We do have small towns with the world's largest ball of twine or the world's largest hockey stick, would those work for you?

If he weighs 215 pounds, then I weigh 125! Or maybe they meant kilograms.

Former President Trump is accomplishing a lot of firsts:

* First President to be impeached twice,
* First President to refuse a peaceful transfer of power,
* First former president to be indicted with a felony (91 of them),
* And now, first former president to get a mugshot.

Donald Trump booked in Georgia; becomes 1st former president to have mug shot taken

A scowling Donald Trump posed for a mug shot Thursday as he surrendered inside a jail in Atlanta on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.

So, I'm a johnny come lately to the Georgia charges and I've just been reading that they're effectively going to charge him under racketeering laws. Trump is already making noises about having them transferred to a federal court as apparently the burden of proof is a lot tighter than Georgia's laws.
I am so envious of the US laws, for when they work (or at least when they are exercised by legal peeps who believe in justice), they work. Unlike the UK where election fraud and corruption prosecutions depend on whether the establishment likes you or not.

How are you defining "election fraud and corruption" in this context, Couldbe?

Here in Illinois we have Casey, Illinois, which has a ton of "World's Largest" exhibits uncluding this rocking chair.

And this mailbox.

If you put a letter in a slot in the mailbox, the flag goes up and the mail carrier will come collect it and send it.

Thats pretty neat.

Also its amusing that a politics thread has been derailed a bit away from politics instead of towards it.

My immediate first impression on seeing it was "The Face of Evil"

Cool, I don't recall being there, though I think I might have passed through on a fall trip back from the covered bridge festival in Indiana.

An Incomplete List Of Athletes With The Same Measurements As Donald Trump

One source I read claimed that vital stats are submitted to the jail before the accused appears. DT had aides fill it out for him, they claim. I'm betting this was the work of Donnie himself. No exaggeration is too much, even if it's comical.

Here's a shot of a guy who actually *IS* 6'3" 215. (Moron shown for comparison).

Yep. That's about right. If The Other Half hadn't put on the extra weight due to health issues, he'd still look like the guy on the left. When I first met him face to face, he was 6' 3" and about 185lbs. That was almost 24 years ago.

I remember seeing pics of this before it was enclosed and wondering how long they thought it would last, exposed to the weather. Glad to see it was enclosed at some point.
