Aides filled out the paperwork for the defendant in advance. If 45 had actually hopped on a scale in Fulton County, that aspirational number would have been quickly fact-checked by reality.
What we see is blindingly obvious so we are not alone, but after thinking about it for a while I decided it is just too insignificant a point to argue about in light of the volume of really dangerous moves this guy makes.
I suggest we drop it for the time being but keep our notes for a time when they can be added to the bonfire that hopefully will come when he is finally taken down.
While I support prosecution of the bad actors of Jan. 6, I can't help but wonder when we'll be hearing about prosecutions related to the attackers of the Portland Federal Courthouse in 2020. That action lasted over 1-1/2 months but as far as I can find, fewer than 100 people were charged.

However, I freely admit that I am not very good at searching the internet.
It also isn't surprising that you would hear more press reports about those being prosecuted in the attack on the Capitol, than the Portland federal courthouse. Obviously, the attack on the Capitol was tantamount to a coup, where the goal was to illegally keep Donald Trump in power.
The violence in Portland was reprehensible, but was not aimed at stopping the peaceful transfer of power in the United States.
Here's some more press releases from the feds on the Portland protests:
I find it interesting that all the "News outlets " that can't get enough Trump indictment news never talk about Hunter and Joe's growing scandals. Hmmmm.
Is there a Go Fund Me Account
For a new scale
For the Fulton County Jail?
Aides filled out the paperwork for the defendant in advance. If 45 had actually hopped on a scale in Fulton County, that aspirational number would have been quickly fact-checked by reality.
So if that is not a ‘true’ weight
Is that lying/perjury on official government documents?
That was not the only suspicious reporting last night. I have reservations about that image purported to be a mug shot.
These were my Facebook reflections.

My wife thought the same thing, I made the following posts, and I think you and she are 100% correct.
It’s just way too clean, too good a quality, nothing about it matches all the others.
What shall we do about it?

I agree, of course.
What we see is blindingly obvious so we are not alone, but after thinking about it for a while I decided it is just too insignificant a point to argue about in light of the volume of really dangerous moves this guy makes.

Sure, sure… but that’s part of his grift. He throws out SO much garbage that you can only argue a limited number of points.
He never heard the words, “mug shot”, because they didn’t teach him that on college?
He never knew what an indictment was? Of course not, that MUST prove his innocence.
And yet, his MAGAts believe EVERY word, and pull them out when they are shown that most of them are lies.
The old spaghetti trick.
Keep throwing it at the wall and see what sticks.

D Bright - it's not hard to find a number of press releases from the US Attorney responsible for those prosecutions https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/22-arrested-facing-federal-charges-after-weekend-protest-federal-courthouse-portland

There is another bottom line on this which is pretty simple - the Portland protests and the violence on Jan. 6 are not the same. Not even close.
When you do search the internet next please look up “Whataboutism”

I hasten to add, D. Bright, you're also not very good at identifying reliable sources for news.
I find it interesting that all the "News outlets " that can't get enough Trump indictment news never talk about Hunter and Joe's growing scandals. Hmmmm.
I refer you to “Whataboutism” above.
Ok lefty, what are your pronouns ? I don't want to mis gender you.
