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.
The consequences of national polarization may, in the long term, make Trump’s actions look small.
This arrest certainly pushes us closer to the edge. Whether that will lead us back to normalcy or over and down is yet to be seen.
And it would be better for national unity if one party was allowed to get away with committing crimes without facing consequences?
Isn’t this like the 3rd mug shot over the past few months, or did we not get to see those? I’ve lost track.
Those places forwent the mugshot. Georgia stated they would treat him as any other defendant, so this is his first.
I’d forgotten about “forwent,” I’m going to have to keep it in my mental cheek pouches for crosswords and other word games.
To be fair, the mugshot is for identification and it’s not like you need a photo of the Cheeto to identify him. What I want is a prison ID photo after being hosted down and de-loused (I know that’s just a movie trope, but I still want it)
how long did he study this expression in front of the mirror, i wonder
He somehow managed to make himself look even more like a dipshit than usual.
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.
“I’m not gonna poop I’m not gonna poop I’m not gonnapoop I’m notgonnapoop I’mnotgonnapooooooop….”
If you really think about it, he has never looked away from the image of himself in the mirror.
He’s trying so hard to hide his neckgina
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’.
Guliani made an almost identical pose. Maybe they worked on it together after a smush sesh.
Here ya go. They seem to be updating as the images are released as well.
What is it with all these mug shots having a similar scowl going on?
And looking like they were photographed with a webcam from 2004?
Have you ever been booked? It’s because it is almost certainly a webcam and a very old one at that.
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.
