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!

We can stop reporting their weight and height. They’re not being weighed or measured, they’re submitting that information on the honor system.

[–] ryrybang@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That seems to be true for Trump; unclear about the others unless I missed reporting on this. Did anybody follow-up with the Sheriff to see if others were weighed versus self-reported?

Is Trump getting special treatment? Did Trump, or others here, make false statements to officials about their height or weight? I don't think it's trivial.

It's also fun to do this about somebody so vain about their own appearance and who has spent a lifetime making fun of others for their appearance or weight.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

IMHO, it must be self reported org taken from their license, which is usually also self reported.

Powell is reported at 6f 170lb, which is how tall and heavy I am. And I’m a damn bean pole.

[–] treefrog@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I've been booked a few times. Height was measured accurately once (with a tape measure). But generally it was on the honor system or pulled from my license.

Never been weighed in jail except when seeing the doctor.

And if there's one thing that people who lied about election results in an attempt to keep Trump in office are known for, it's being honest.

No wait, not honest. The other thing.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why even bother collecting weight if they can just make up whatever?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, it’s pretty stilly.

Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard for the DMV or jail to take your license picture while you stand on a scale next to a ruler. Kill 3 birds with one stone.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Based on drivers license information more likely. I looked at mine still says 175 I haven't weigh that in 10 years.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Drivers licenses are often a self-report honor system in much of the US.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I remember mine for the longest time said 130 pounds because I got my license in high school when I was a weirdly skinny kid.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My driver's license has me a couple inches shorter than I am because I wasn't quite done growing at 16. I asked once about changing it when I went to renew my license, but they need some paperwork and I think maybe even a doctor's note, so I didn't bother.

If the government is fine having an inaccurate description of me on file, that's their problem I guess.

[–] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Lol there's not a chance in hell Trump only weighs 215

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what drove me to make this and I am so very sorry for everyone with functioning eyes that stumbles upon this post. All the mug shots, looped forever, to fuel your nightmares!
