Nice view! I always love it when fascists are handcuffed. Is there a also a breaking story to that picture? I hadn’t heard that he was arrested. (or else I’m so out of touch that he had been arrested some weeks ago. It’s hard to keep track in these times) ---

Getting arrested for something (sort of) new while you are awaiting sentencing for something else is never a good look. ---

First laundering he’s done in quite awhile I’d imagine. ---

Actually, I suspect that money is the only thing that Bannon has ever actually laundered. I love the cartoons of Bannon that always have flies buzzing around him. ---

Nice picture! Wish some of these charges would stick and actually bring more consequences for him than just a fine. ---

While peaking at my junk folder, I found some good news from Senator Marcos Rubio: > My biggest deadline of the year is here, and if we don’t raise enough to meet my Extended August End of Month Goal by midnight, you can say goodbye to Trump’s legacy. I wish he meant it. ---

So Trump has apparently taken a sudden trip to DC by airplane. In his golfing clothes. Surrounded by serious-looking people. Speculation abounds. > **[Donald Trump's Surprise Visit To Washington D.C Sparks Arrest Speculation](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-visit-dc-arrest-doj-golf-1741915)** > > The former president was seen landing at Dulles Airport on Sunday in golf attire, with no explanation for why may be heading to the capital. ---

Discussion here > [@Why did a disheveled looking Trump just turn up in DC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-did-a-disheveled-looking-trump-just-turn-up-in-dc/971412): > > So my Twitter just blew up with [this](https://twitter.com/search?q=trump%20dc&t=208vfjEJveeFhV3oDz6gAQ&s=09). Trump just arrived in DC unannounced, in a government jet, looking like he was just dragged off the golf course. Some people (on the somewhat flimsy evidence of the position of his hands) claim he’s been arrested. Others seem to suggest a trip to Walter Reed for a medical issue (is the care at Walter Reed really so good as to warrant an interstate trip? I thought most DC bigwigs, eg supreme court judges, go to Sibley) What do the assembled dopers think? ---
