I like it that we have a new way of saying who we mean without having to wash our mouths afterwards: P01135809  
I’ll try to memorize it: P - 0 - eleven - thirtyfive - 8 - 0 - 9  
And what does [P01135809 think](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/24/us/politics/trump-mugshot-booking-photo.html?unlocked_article_code=3xie29VRoTaoZ5du737MUL8Fltk2LFSYIn_B52EOJQNLS68BmHNVpVEvNlCSbncGHHzeELD24-iUVrbkrKCfI_n-QSdvBi5ZlXm36BMtKsAlyBnKNK5EO8VRGYakGye4-5FeOfZD8Hpp6ANuCnuCLOiipAS29Dsx852VeOCgy0XZATavC6cEblnN7T8jlhthrw60DtvVS4CpKX2Uwlft3z1me7GtcBQDrGE7c1uDqd7vSXypkQrHh35FsphZ-Co5tmfe_3kg17IOMKp25JhevM5xHuyCkhBpXi4I09TDGJh9MnWkWlLUfz0AcSj4HDg94oi29kNAbm4Nmtx5t_3pO9RP3-cUQ9IJUK8&smid=url-share) of his mugshot?

> Mr. Trump’s mug shot photo shows a severe expression, contrary to what we have seen from a few other defendants, some of whom have smiled.
> 
> Mr. Trump, during the photo shoot for his official White House photo shortly before he became president, scowled at the camera and told aides he thought he looked “like Churchill.”

Best mugshot ever! Pity he forgot the cigar.

More of a factual question for the smart folks - Assuming a real mass of 275 lbs., how many moon masses would the earth have to lose to have him at 215 lbs?

I hear that there’s lots of starch in prison slop, so weight loss is prob right out. They’ll move him to a double-wide cell if they can get him through the door.

I’m betting he practiced that grimace in the mirror, thinking it makes him look like a bad-ass. Constipated, is more like it. He’ll be merching that photo on everything very soon.

I have to hand it to CNN: they refused to broadcast whatever stupidity Trump had to say at the airport. Trapper said “If he says anything of any relevance, we’ll report it, but are assuming that it’s the same old lies.”

Yeah, on MSNBC Maddow said something to the effect of “We’re not going to cover it live because it’s our policy not to broadcast lies. But if he says something newsworthy, we’ll get back to you.”

I guess trumpy’s people made up the scale. 🧐

A little googling revealed that John Goodman weighed 400 lbs and then lost 100 lbs. Wayne Knight (Newman of Seinfeld) weighed 327 at his peak. I think trumpy’s body profile resembles theirs.

Okay, I’ll change my vote and _weigh in_ at 289. 😉
