Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
There’s a reason why Trump doesn’t sue Maddow, it’s called ‘The Process of Discovery’. -

So actually what you want to see is Trump abusing authority to take vengeance on people working in the justice system. Rightwing authoritarianism as clear as it gets. -

Well at least you can’t deny you’ve heard the allegations. “Russia, if you’re listening” -

Welcome on board the good ship ‘Lock Trump Up’. But in your eagerness to get on board what appears to be the winning side, you forgot to leave your admiration for authoritarian abuse of power behind. The US doesn’t need any more of the lawless abuse of power Trump made so much use of. What’s needed is a return to law and order under the Constitution. Grand Jury, Indict, Arraign, Trial by Jury and Verdict by Jury. I sincerely hope Trump goes to prison for his crimes and that he serves a full sentence. But let’s do it right. End Trump and end the abuse of power he stands for. -
Like you rightly say, we are short of a few facts. Which hasn’t stopped you inventing some to fit your world view.

The offer to voluntarily surrender is a deliberate play to avoid being handcuffed and to avoid the ‘Perp Walk’. Trump will then claim he wasn’t arrested. Here’s a thing though. assuming an indictment is issued and assuming Trump voluntarily surrenders. The next step is booking and arraignment. That is an arrest. He’ll stand in front of the booking officer, he’ll be read his rights. His personal details will be recorded. He’ll be fingerprinted and mug shots will be taken. He’ll then be arraigned before a court, the formal charges against him will be read and recorded. He’ll apply for bail. Assuming he’s not charged with any violent crimes, he’ll be granted bail with conditions. Surrender passports, bail bond and house arrest are the most likely outcomes. A trial date will be set. He’ll be processed just like every other person indicted for crimes. Though with one difference. He’ll make a circus of it, and his supporters will bay at the moon. Expect the press to go to court to have the mug shots released. Don’t expect FOX or NewsMax to petition for the mug shots to be released or publish them when they are.

Gary Lineker told to step back from presenting Match of the Day
Chomper Higgot replied to Scott's topic in World News
You are correct, the Government use 60% of median wage, but London has some extremely high earners that would bias the number high, so perhaps mean is a better number, though I would personally prefer Geometric Mean. And there’s the rub, personal preference. So perhaps the Government’s own measure is better, it is after all the measure upon which Government policy is, or at least should be, based. -

Like you, so little information. But don’t let that stop you filling in the gaps. -

Gary Lineker told to step back from presenting Match of the Day

Recognize faux outrage when you see it. This Government removed almost all free TV licenses and transferred funding of those that remain available to the BBC. There was no outrage from the rightwing when pensioners were stripped of free TV licenses. The Government’s aim is to defund and privatize the BBC. Much better in the hands of Murdoch, Viscounts Rothermere or such right wing controllers of the media. -

Pensioners in receipt of income support (that’s poor pensioners) get a free TV license. It was the Tories that cut free TV licenses for pensioners, despite numbers of Tory MOs claiming their TV license on expenses.
