I mean adding an S to words still indicates a plural state, right? Because this definitely says Lawmakers, with an S. As in more than one. Multiple. Am I losing my fucking mind? Do I need to go back to first grade and learn basic grammar, again? Because I'm just gonna disengage if everyone's gonna lie to me every time I turn around.

I'm a little confused by this comment, sorry. By "this," do you mean the image? It does say lawmakers, plural, and also specifies two. The image seems to be incorrect. I'm not assuming malice, and I believe they were probably posting with bad or incomplete information. Details of situations like this can be unclear as you're trying to follow them at home. But they said lawmakers, plural, and it is in fact a lawmaker, singular, who was not actually arrested, and his non-lawmaker brother, who was.

If you're talking about something in the article I shared, could you quote the passage that has you confused?
