I've been waiting for this day for so long, seeing this wannabe dictator commit crime after crime with no consequences and hearing so many people saying this would never happen, but here we are. Cheers my American neighbors! This is a good day for democracy!
I agree, but also a tragic day. This does nothing to reduce the polarization or convince his misguided followers of anything. Trump might go away but his voters won't. We have decades of this to look forward to. It's a step in the right direction at least...
I wholeheartedly disagree that it's a tragic day. The tragedies happened when he committed his crimes and got away with them for years. This is just the beginning of resolution.
I am going to disagree with you here. This is a long process. This teachers our kids about consequence. There is a lot more gears spinning than just punishing the big Cheeto.
To catch the dipshits, you have to think like a dipshit. This is exactly what every one of his voters would look like in a mug shot. Even the ones that have never been booked are voluntarily showing that to the world today.
You can bet he spent time practicing that pose in front of a mirror at Mar-a-Lago beforehand. That’s supposed to be his ‘If you fuck with me, I’ll fuck with you ‘ look, but it’s more like ‘mommy, I think I did doo doos’.
He's trying to look defiant and outraged. Guy knows how to work his marks. I guarantee you every Republican looking at that photo is getting a massive boner over it.
Camera angle... The camera looks like it's set up high, so arrestees have to tilt their heads up when getting their mugshots. Tends to give people a Kubrick Stare.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. But every time I see his ghoulish rictus of a face it reminds me that for four miserable years the democratically elected* leader of the largest economy in the world was a philandering child rapist.
One who is only now facing the slightest possibility of consequence for a tiny fraction of his crimes because he engaged in honest to god high treason.
Nothing against ugly dudes. You're cool.
And had I not made the comment it would have been the work of minutes for someone to generate a thousand like it to drum up support.
Let's not pretend anonymous internet comments have any actual bearing here. I'm just having fun coming up with new terms for this festering troglodyte.
Trump had agreed to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions, including not using social media to intimidate co-defendants or witnesses in the case.
Just gotta point this thing out. Seems soft to me idk. Maybe they just want to give him more rope to see how much he will hang himself with it this time, but really a ban from all social media would make the most sense considering how much harm his posts on there have caused.
To me it seems like the trump team had them retake te photo several times. It's off center, it's a non standard angle, and they're letting him make a face unseen in most mug shots.
I'm starting to default to think they're playing the rope angle really hard. He absolutely will not be able to conform to those terms. Though they should not have limited it to "social media", he has access to all the communication channels the world has to offer to put a hit out.
It should also be noted that it's likely no one, including Trump made bail. If the phrasing is correct they were all either bonded out or probably in Trump and some others cases self-bonded.
Jesus Christ that lineup looks like a collection of old folks dressed up after Sunday church about to make some IHOP waitress's last few hours of her shift a literal hell on Earth.
By mugshot standards Jenna Ellis looks damn good. Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, David Shafer, Cathy Latham, and Harrison Floyd look like pretty respectable mug shots also. I mean Ray Smith has what I would expect most mug shots to look like. I don’t understand the critique with these. Especially Jenna, that shit looks better than any other government photo I’ve ever had taken and none of mine have been mug shots. I mean I’m ugly but still. I have a hard time believing it wouldn’t go into a top 100 list of best mug shots, the “photographer” and web cam showed up for that one just as much as she did.
Not going to be able to wear it without everyone thinking it's "in solidarity". Though I've been thinking lately that we should start immediately adopting any symbol they love as a symbol for something they hate. e.g. swastika as the new pride symbol, and they don't ever get it back, just like they do with every symbol that is supposed to represent being against all the terrible traits they embody. And I'm not talking about putting rainbow colors on it, we take the original. Everyone would have to get onboard of course, I'm not putting on a Gadsden flag shirt unless it's going to start repelling incels, instead of inviting them to talk to me about crypto.
It's like that face one makes as like a 12 year old when you're mad and desperately trying to look intimidating, but just look silly because you're blatantly overdoing it and don't look very intimidating anyway.
