    This is great, the governator is basically making yo momma jokes at Trump’s expense:

    “Yo daddy so fat he runs around himself to lose weight!”

        True, but like at least half of Americans are obese. It makes a lot of people sensitive to fat jokes.

            I googled. 42.4% of adults according to the most recent figures. That’s closer to half than a third.

            2014 it was closer to a third. 2017-2020 it was 42.4%. Given the tred, I wouldn’t be surprised that it’ll be close to or more than half now.

              The post-pandemic numbers are bound to be very different. I’m working on a study for medical school right now and it was ever so much fun to have to throw out more than half of my work because the results from pre-pandemic studies are so wildly different from studies after 2020. The pandemic is going to have public health effects that will last generations.

        So the alleged lieing at the first arrest about the weight he claimed its actually true? Never checked myself after hearing it the first time.

        Finding clames of both 240 and 322 (lbs)

      Arnold is an expert on fitness. He’s taking a verbal stab at Trump because Trump clearly doesn’t want to be honest about his own weight. So Arnold is offering his expert advice to Trump about how to actually drop weight instead of lying about your weight like Trump did when he was arrested and processed.

      It’s just a lot like Kim Jong Un or Putin, where he seriously pictures himself looking like Vin diesel. And so do his followers. All those maga flags and political comics actually give him a six pack and make him 6’5. It’s gross and kind of scary.

    When someone lies about easy disprovable things, and shows how insecure about unimportant things they are, they disqualify themselfes from important decision making for all of us. And reasonable people get it. Maturing is on the inside. So yes its important. Sadly.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    You’re going to be in great shape,’” Schwarzenegger quipped during a Monday appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

    The dig from California’s former GOP governor — a reference to the 91 criminal charges that Trump’s facing in his multiple indictments — came after Kimmel asked Schwarzenegger about the 45th president’s arrest records.

    When he turned himself in at Georgia’s Fulton County jail in August over charges related to the 2020 election, Trump’s weight was recorded at 215 pounds.

    “Do you think it is possible that he weighs 215 pounds?” Kimmel asked the former bodybuilder, who served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in the 1990s.

    Kimmel noted that Schwarzenegger no longer “[seemed] like a Republican” due to his longtime activism to fight climate change and his views on other hot-button issues.

    Saying he sometimes touches down in Washington to lobby both Democrats and Republicans to fund after-school programs, Schwarzenegger exclaimed, “I think what we need is really leadership to bring people together and to teach both parties not to look at the other side as the enemy.”


    The original article contains 486 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      I think what we need is really leadership to bring people together and to teach both parties not to look at the other side as the enemy.

      Looking in from the outside (another country) it seems like republicans are very much acting like the enemy (of the democrats, the people, a livable planet, common sense, …) in every possible way and no amount of leadership or compromise will get them to act in good faith.

        Yeah as an American I can disagree with people about a lot civilly. Republicans are not acting in good faith or towards acceptable goals. There was once room for considering them not the enemy but that time has passed. If they want to stop being my enemy they can stop being republicans. They’re fortunate enough that the trait that brings them enmity can be discarded.

        How he lives his life, exactly. Living his life, supporting the Republican party with his money, messaging, and his vote. Fuck him. To the extent he seems decent and positive, he’s a fraud, because his commitment is to a party that is shitty and negative and an existential threat to democracy.
