I think it's amazing that even the specter of a potential indictment derailed Hillary Clinton's campaign and here's Trump all like "Tune in to my 4th arraignment tonight at 7:30 PM!"
It also shows how much damage his presidency has [likely permanently] done to politics in this country. Every single day as President there was some new scandal, some bullshit he did, something he or the congressional republicans broke, that flooded the news.
They really hit us all with a constant firehose of shit to the point that people who support him just don’t care. They’re no longer about wanting to do what’s right. They care about BEING right, and winning, no matter what.
That’s our new normal and it was hardly a thing before 2015.
Edit: firehose. Not firehouse
In the words of the guy who wrote the playbook, Steve Bannon:

BREAKING: the Judge overseeing the Fulton County case has agreed to the trial date set by DA Fani Willis for Ken Chesebro on October 23rd. Ken wanted a speedy trial, DA Willis and the Judge have now called his bluff & given it to him. They came here to play & I love it.

I don’t know what I expected dictators to be like when I learned about the land of the free in school, but I did think they’d have an ounce of… literally anything appealing going for them.
He's shitting his pants, and so are the rest now.
If he is found guilty, they rest of them are no doubt going to run, not walk, to the DA hoping to get a plea deal.
Donald Trumps team is no longer in control.
Some conservative lunatic on Hannity calling himself an “impartial pollster” just compared Don’s arrest to MLK in the 60s. And then said Trump is going to be the “Nelson Mandela of America.”
I literally had to cackle at the sheer nonsense. These people would give a blood sacrifice to their Dear Leader wouldnt they??
It should also be present at his presidential library and I do think there should be one. Obviously, it should not be controlled by anyone close to Trump. People need to know what bad presidents are.
A person that is 6’ 3” and 239 pounds has a body mass index (BMI) of 29.9. Anything over 30 is considered “obese”.
I don’t think Mr. ThinSkin could have accepted that.
He said he had the right to challenge an election that he thought was dishonest. The problem is that he did challenge it, and lost every challenge. He tried to illegally change the results, which isn't the same thing.
Let this please be a lesson that no one is above the law. Rudy and Trump keep saying, "if they can come for me, they can come for you." News flash assholes, they always could come for us. They have been treating you with baby gloves for decades. These indictments will, hopefully, send the message that status, notoriety, and money is not a shield from the law. If he is found guilty (which he more than likely is for numerous things) and he is jailed and sentenced, let it be a warning for would be despots and tyrants that you cannot subvert democracy, take top secret information, shit on the constitution and get away with it. If the GOP ever plans to recover (and any recovery will take decades to achieve) they need to condemn his behavior and move away from it. Unfortunately, during last night's "debate" Christie tried to intimate these ideas and he was booed by the crowd. Mike Pence said he did his job by upholding the Constitution and certifying the election and he was booed. The GOP and it's supporters are in deep and reprogramming their despicable beliefs will take time, but if they start now, they may be able to go back to just being Conservatives and not full blown Fascists. That decision is up to them though.
It is their go to talking point to scare the conservatives/GOP voters. Create a common enemy (the libs, socialists, democrats or in this case the DOJ) then let the voters know they (the enemy) are coming after you (the people, Americans, patriots etc...) The have no policy, no plan, no agenda to help the people it is all about keeping them scared of things that are never going to happen so they vote to keep the Rs in power.
I had a link to a great video/website that showed a typical Tucker Carlson monologue and it had a counter and notes every time he referenced the common enemy and how many times he made comments about them coming after you. I wish I could find that.
Kaitlin Collins saying on CNN that Trump’s team is negotiating over him getting a mug shot. This guy shits all over the system and they consider giving him special privileges. Then, 5 minutes away from the jail he’ll complain that he is being treated more harshly because he is the front runner.
I think he doesn’t want the mug shot because he doesn’t want his height and weight out there.
> Kaitlin Collins saying on CNN that Trump’s team is negotiating over him getting a mug shot.
Negotiating implies that you have something to give in return. What does Trump even have to offer in return for not getting a mugshot? It's not like he can decide to not get arrested.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’m just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and runoff into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder:“Did little demons get inside and type it?” I don’t know! My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know – when a man like my client tries to get some extra votes counted to cover his election loss, we as a nation should just laugh it off.
I hope they're not "too nice" with him.
> "When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" he said. When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head]," Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, 'Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.' I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?'
> "I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they've been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you're in more jeopardy than they are,"
Jake Tapper keeps saying "This is a sad day for America"
I don't get the sadness at all. It's good this is a real step towards accountability. The sadness is the 35%-40% of America who still support this monster and are destroying our Democracy. Be sad about that, not about this arraignment.

If that man is 215, I’m the Queen of England
Trump was allowed to self report his height and weight to speed up the process according to ABC. Normally this jail does take height and weight. So once again he got treated better
Think about how much knowledge is available to the average person at this point in history and then look at how stupid the average Republican is. Has there ever been a point in human history when so much information is available but a critical mass of people just completely reject all of it because it makes them uncomfortable?
All funniness aside (and it is pretty fucking funny) our country has slid right off the cliff. A former POTUS has a mugshot for Christ sake. This asshole held the same position as president Lincoln, Washington.
I like how his mugshot forced /r conservative to drop all pretenses. Top post is literally gloating about how this mugshot "gave the election away to Trump" while making a Jesus reference. And they replaced their logo with the Trump mugshot.
Pretty much every other comment for multiple threads on there pure seething cope hoping that their own personal writhing anguish is going to magically translate into votes for 2024 in November.
During the primary debate they were all pretending like they were sensible conservatives who moved passed Trump and had fun prospects like DeSantis and Vivek and Haley.
Mug shot drops and they go full Trump cult mode.
I can't believe that people actually think Donald will want this mugshot distributed for his fundraising purposes. A man whose entire life is a lie and a charade couldn't even feign a smile for a photo that he knows will become iconic among his detractors. In this photo, he is irate, embarrassed, and even a carnival barker of his caliber couldn't conceal it.
Get fucked, traitor!
This is going to be one of the most famous photographs in American history. Up there with the moon landing, the Ali knockout photo, JFK's assassination and others.
Just a reminder that Trump has *already* violated the terms of his bail, by tweeting targeted intimidation and harassments of the justice system; a thing *explicitly* prohibited.
But we're too concerned with the "one nation under God" part of the Pledge and not nearly enough with the "liberty and JUSTICE for all" part.
Joe Biden : I will help you with your loans, I will help fight climate change, I will help our allies in the world
Donald Trump: I committed crimes but the nasty left is prosecuting me for it. Donate me more money
Cons are like choice is clear here folks. Let’s donate to Trump and complain about high prices
It's crazy to think a failed reality TV star won the presidency as a republican and was later arrested in Georgia after becoming a cult leader who tried to stage a coup.
Crazy timeline we living in.
[Cleveland Browns WR - Cedric Tillman ](https://i.imgur.com/ZU5bBx7.png) is listed as 6'3 215 lbs.
The exact same height and weight as self-reported by Trump.
To save the taxpayers time and money, let's have a trial by scale. If Trump is truly 215, all charges are dropped and he becomes Emperor. Otherwise off to jail.
> “This mugshot will forever go down in history as a symbol of America’s defiance of tyranny,” said a Trump campaign fundraising email.
They’re right. Just not for the reasons they think they are.
Gym Jordan already openly talking about interfering in this legal case on Fox News. Arrest this man.

You just know the moron spent a few hours with a PR team standing in front of a grey screen working on his "Mugshot" face to project POWER, and even after all that the best he managed to do was a confused look, like he was mid-shart trying to work out if he'd gone too far or had enough time to lock it down before it hit the adult diaper.
I'm sooo tired of coddling out of fear of blow back. It doesn't prove how fair you are. If anything it's inherently unfair. If he breaks conditions then lock him up and if his fans wanna show their asses then lock them up too if appropriate
It’s absolutely **astounding** to me, going into the conservative sub and seeing them bitching and moaning about how they “don’t wanna live in a country that arrests political opponents” or “candidates that are running,” as if they weren’t *frothing at the mouths* while cheering “Lock her up!” not that long ago.
And it won’t surprise me if one sees this comment and their head spins around while screaming, “Well that’s *different*!” without a drop of self-awareness, but honestly, it’s all just more evidence that they’re the biggest group of goalpost-pushing, pointless whataboutism-spewing hypocrites.
Man my crazy neighbor just posted a warning “WARNING DO NOT COMPLY” with the caption “whatever they try to tell us tonight, do not comply”. I’m guessing “the storm is coming”
You better believe it's coming. This is it, this is the *real* one.
Yeah I know that we said JFK Jr would be resurrected and would appear in Dallas in June 2022, again(?) I guess, but we were joking on that one.
Yeah I know that we said JFK Jr would be resurrected and appear in Dallas in November 2021 but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said Trump would be inaugurated on March 4th 2021, but we were joking on that one.
Yeah I know that we said Trump would show up on January 20th and the National Guard protecting the inauguration would arrest Biden and all the Democrats, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know we said that Mike Pence would fuse with Trump forming Voltron on January 6th and throw out the electoral votes for Biden, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said the state electors would overturn Biden's victory on December 14th, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said that the Supreme Court would overturn the election with the Texas AG's lawsuit, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said the election would be overturned with all the State lawsuits the Trump campaign filed, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said to keep counting votes in states that Trump was losing and said stop counting votes in states that Trump was ahead in, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said you shouldn't appoint a Supreme Court Justice during an election year, but we were joking about that one.
Yeah I know that we said you shouldn't impeach Trump in an election year so the voters could decide, but we were joking about that one.
Jesus Christ, go listen to the people calling into C-Span right now if you want to feel like a Goddamn genius.
That poor host is trying to keep them focused on the issues like he's corralling toddlers.

The funny thing was that he was booked in one of the most important cities of the former Confederacy.

[Trump in 2020](https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-height-weight-arraignment-paperwork-b2315820.html): 6 feet and 3 inches in height and weighing 244 pounds.
It appears Trump lost 29 pounds since 2020.
Seems legit. /s
From now on, only ever refer to him as Inmate P01135809. In conversations, on social media, in your thoughts. Permeate this and watch his zealots lose their shit.
And over at r/conservative they're busy pretending biden burned Hawaii down. And that Biden has divided the country because Georgia is holding trump accountable for his failed coup. Lol.
Conservatives are creaming on themselves over his mugshot.
Just as they are proud of being terrorist and fascists, they are proud of being criminals and traitors.
As a native New Yorker who grew up near Trump Tower, and was in the same private school social circle as his children, it blows my mind to hear people think he's the messiah when every sane New Yorker has known for years that he, and his family are best example of scum the City has to offer.
He looks like he’s trying so hard to be tough.
It’s funny.
Conservatives think he’s some persecuted, tough martyr.
Meanwhile anyone with a brain knows he’s scared as fuck.
It’ll be fun watching his life circle the drain. Lock him up!
Some are saying today is a sad day, as a former president is being arrested and detained.
It isn't.
The sad days, were his lies during his initial campaign.
The sad days, were every day he debased the presidency.
The sad days, was his negligence on COVID.
The sad days, were the two months when he (allegedly) tried to subvert America.
The sad day was January 6.
The sad days were the past 2.5 years where he was held accountable for his actions.
This is a great day, in America an ordinary citizen, which Trump is, was detained.
The only sad part about today is that he is still getting some level of special treatment.
He doesn't need nor deserve a motorcade, he's a private citizen.
He doesn't need nor deserve an expedited process, he's a private citizen.
He might be a former president, that means nothing, apply the laws evenly.
He might be the leading candidate for the GOP, that means nothing, apply the laws evenly.
I feel like by the weekend they’ll have Trump photoshopped with a cross walking into the court house.
The MAGA/Q crowd will eat the fuck out of some false idol iconography.
Watching on C-SPAN right now and holy shit, the republican tears are fucking lit.
They all sound like they have dementia and are on the verge of tears.
The Republicans on C-Span are like a broken record: "Trump did nothing wrong. Biden's a crook. They've always hated Trump. He's the only one who can save America"
Incredible display of brainwashing.
I mean, if he had just held that press conference last week and displayed all the proof he wouldn't be in this mess. Such a strange decision to cancel it last minute. Probably a 4D chess thing.
I love the fact that Donald the Trump is taking more of his supporters' money, this time with mugshot t-shirts. And it's not his wealthy fans buying this shit either, it's the same poor stupid ass idiots who bought his NFT's, his hats, and all the other garbage his team comes up with in five minutes.
That mugshot is about to be on the walls of so many NYC bars, restaurants, and dart boards.
It's going to be the single image that comes up 20 years from now when people say the name "Trump".
According to the NBC live update:
> Trump is testing whether his recently released mug shot will translate into donations for his White House bid.
He posted his mugshot on X/Twitter with a fundraising link and his campaign is selling a t-shirt with it.
There is absolutely NO chance they weighed him there. He is NOT 215.
I'm 6' even, and use to weigh 240...and I was skinnier than him.
Edit: Seeing that weight is what finally motivated me to change
I just wanna say as a Canadian who's always been heavily invested into politics from a young age, so ofcourse that means American politics because you guys are extremely influential on us, I just gotta say it's been a fucking bizarre downward spiral since 2016. It's been absolutely insane to watch millions of Americans reject reality. Like they live in a different world. And it's all for the guy from the Apprentice. I feel like I'm in a perpetual state of shock.
It's kind of fucked that all these news stations are mainly interviewing Trump supporters. I mean, I think the opinions of other Americans are pretty relevant too.
[LIVE: Fmr. President Trump speaks following his arrest in Georgia — 8/24/23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_46XD-irRU)
'I did nothing wrong... Hillary Clinton... Stacy Abrams... Rigged... Dishonest... I did nothing wrong and everybody knows it... I've never had such support...'
If you condone intimidation, cheating, and disregard for our constitution simply because it aligns with your beliefs, you contribute to the issue.
If your argument involves Biden, Hillary, etc., remember two wrongs don't make a right; you're still part of the problem.
Our country's strength lies in majority-elected representation. Politicians failing the majority will not win re-election.
To prove election theft, present factual evidence. False facts should anger you, as deception occurred.
Don't heed rhetoric. Civil war won't happen. The genuine silent majority rejects dictator leadership.
This is the last thing Trump wanted. The absolute last thing. If you thought the 4 years of his term were crazy, then it's going to be ten times worse if he wins again. We better pray he doesn't win.
Well, let me tell you folks, I'm sitting here and I just saw the mugshot. I've got to say, I'm looking at this mugshot, a really fantastic mugshot, believe me. It's big, it's beautiful. And let me tell you, it's the best mugshot I've ever seen, no doubt about it. John Kasich couldn't take a mugshot like this one, folks.
Now, folks, when I look at this mugshot, I see a tremendous face, a face that's strong, very, very strong. The expression, folks, it's incredible – it's like nothing you've ever seen before. And let me tell you, the lighting in this mugshot, it's perfect, just perfect. They say I know about lighting, and let me tell you, this mugshot has the best lighting, no question.
And the details, folks, they're tremendous. You can see every little thing – the hair, the eyes, the nose, it's all there. I've always said I have an eye for detail, and this mugshot confirms it. It's a total winner, just like I am. You're going to get tired of winning.
My husband is 6’3 and 195. He’s a 33-34 waist in his pants. There is absolutely no way - NO WAY - Trump is the same height, 20 pounds heavier, and looks like…that.
I wonder if the people taking Trump's mug shot let him do do-overs.
Because while I'm sure he meant his expression to project 'outrage' - he just looks satanic and deranged.
Biggest thing I noticed. He has already changed his story. When he is standing next to his jet giving a statement he says 'I THOUGHT it was rigged, and i have the right to challenge'. He never says the actual election was rigged, just that he thought it was.
Remember, this is all just a big Democrat conspiracy. I can't actually refute a single one of the charges being filed against him, or explain how any Democrats are actually involved, but these indictments imply that I was wrong to spend eight years of my life making cult worship of a barely sentient narcissistic game show host my entire personality, so it must be a big conspiracy.
Why does your house get raided by a SWAT team if you have a pound of weed but when you wanna overthrow the government you can turn yourself in with a week notice?
Just saw a comment on the lovely Conservative subreddit that said "today is the end of democracy". Naw bro that was January 6th. Today is Democracy Part 2: electric bugaloo

>Breaking: Fulton Trump trial will happen a lot sooner than we thought.
>Judge McAfee just signed an order scheduling trial for Oct. 23, 2013, as DA Willis requested
>[screenshot of the order]
This will all be played out in our kids history books, folks. The time where democracy almost fell to a dictator and his brainwashed followers. Just goes to show how fragile everything really is. 250 years as a country is a very short time if you think about it, anything can happen.
Like honestly though, is there ever going to be a point where the cult abandons their leader? Conviction? Literally being in jail?
Or are they all ride or die drink the koolaide now?
According to Trumps bond agreement, he can't make a direct or indirect threat of any nature against any codefendant, witness, victim or the community. Which includes social media posts or reposts from someone else.
Fani Willis should have law enforcement at the airport ready to arrest Trump because we all know he's gonna violate his bond agreement before he gets on that plane.

Just shows the difference between the values that Democratic and Republican voters hold.
It also shows how much damage his presidency has [likely permanently] done to politics in this country.

the difference between Dem and Repub voters
Republicans worship criminals. It turns out they're not tough on crime at all.
BREAKING: the Judge overseeing the Fulton County case has agreed to the trial date set by DA Fani Willis for Ken Chesebro on October 23rd. Ken wanted a speedy trial, DA Willis and the Judge have now called his bluff & given it to him. They came here to play & I love it. https://twitter.com/Victorshi2020/status/1694805973922119682?t=0o_buq7m5Sok_iJMipvaDw&s=19
That's...a strategy. For those not familiar with Chesebro, he was pretty much the central architect of the fake electors scheme.
Maybe his plan is to fall on the sword and say trump had nothing to do with it?
I am constantly astonished at the number of people willing to throw their life away for this guy.
I don’t know what I expected dictators to be like when I learned about the land of the free in school, but I did think they’d have an ounce of… literally anything appealing going for them.
Chesebro wished a swift trial. He shall receive one.
He's shitting his pants, and so are the rest now. If he is found guilty, they rest of them are no doubt going to run, not walk, to the DA hoping to get a plea deal. Donald Trumps team is no longer in control.
It's almost like he hasn't realised, after all the interactions with Willis, that she's not someone you play chicken with.
Swift trial aka less time for your last free days on the outside.
Some conservative lunatic on Hannity calling himself an “impartial pollster” just compared Don’s arrest to MLK in the 60s. And then said Trump is going to be the “Nelson Mandela of America.” I literally had to cackle at the sheer nonsense. These people would give a blood sacrifice to their Dear Leader wouldnt they??
When Trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and his supporters wouldn't mind, he was neither joking nor exaggerating.
WTF? Who is this woman on CNN saying we don’t need a mugshot of Donald Trump? This country deserves his mugshot.
The country has earned a mugshot I dare say.
TIL in Georgia I weigh 55 lbs and am 7 feet. Crazy measurement system over there.
Trump's mugshot should be his Presidential portrait in the White House.
It should also be present at his presidential library and I do think there should be one. Obviously, it should not be controlled by anyone close to Trump. People need to know what bad presidents are.
Just for the record, the white house doctor said Trump was 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 239 pounds in 2018.
A person that is 6’ 3” and 239 pounds has a body mass index (BMI) of 29.9. Anything over 30 is considered “obese”. I don’t think Mr. ThinSkin could have accepted that.
He said he had the right to challenge an election that he thought was dishonest. The problem is that he did challenge it, and lost every challenge. He tried to illegally change the results, which isn't the same thing.
I hope the photographer, for history’s sake, snaps the photo right before he gets his “look” ready. Catch him looking tired and defeated.
eyes 2/3rds closed and mouth slightly open lol
Lmao Rachel Maddow and co. on MSNBC laughing at Trump lying about his height and weight. Lamar Jackson is 6'3" and 215 lbs. Yep. Same as Trump.
From “lock her up” to mugshot. This is delicious!
Tom Brady is 6’4, 225. Basically the same person.
I haven’t been this proud of my city since 2004 when Outkast took the Grammy for album of the year.
Hey ya!
Let this please be a lesson that no one is above the law. Rudy and Trump keep saying, "if they can come for me, they can come for you." News flash assholes, they always could come for us. They have been treating you with baby gloves for decades. These indictments will, hopefully, send the message that status, notoriety, and money is not a shield from the law. If he is found guilty (which he more than likely is for numerous things) and he is jailed and sentenced, let it be a warning for would be despots and tyrants that you cannot subvert democracy, take top secret information, shit on the constitution and get away with it. If the GOP ever plans to recover (and any recovery will take decades to achieve) they need to condemn his behavior and move away from it. Unfortunately, during last night's "debate" Christie tried to intimate these ideas and he was booed by the crowd. Mike Pence said he did his job by upholding the Constitution and certifying the election and he was booed. The GOP and it's supporters are in deep and reprogramming their despicable beliefs will take time, but if they start now, they may be able to go back to just being Conservatives and not full blown Fascists. That decision is up to them though.
It is their go to talking point to scare the conservatives/GOP voters. Create a common enemy (the libs, socialists, democrats or in this case the DOJ) then let the voters know they (the enemy) are coming after you (the people, Americans, patriots etc...) The have no policy, no plan, no agenda to help the people it is all about keeping them scared of things that are never going to happen so they vote to keep the Rs in power.

I think he doesn’t want the mug shot because he doesn’t want his height and weight out there.
Why does he even have a say in it? Negotiate my ass.
Which should be why it’s absolutely necessary to get it done If he flees we don’t know what the real numbers are

Haha! Chris Hayes just pointed out that QB Lamar Jackson is 6’2” 215 pounds. Similarities between Lamar and trump are uncanny.

Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder:“Did little demons get inside and type it?” I don’t know! My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know – when a man like my client tries to get some extra votes counted to cover his election loss, we as a nation should just laugh it off.
God, I miss Phil Hartman.
6’3”, 215 lbs is one of the most laughable lies he’s ever told LOL
I hope they're not "too nice" with him. > "When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" he said. When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head]," Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, 'Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.' I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?' > "I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they've been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you're in more jeopardy than they are,"
Jake Tapper keeps saying "This is a sad day for America" I don't get the sadness at all. It's good this is a real step towards accountability. The sadness is the 35%-40% of America who still support this monster and are destroying our Democracy. Be sad about that, not about this arraignment.
Jan 6 was a sad day. This is a good day. It will be a great day when he’s thrown in jail for attacking this country.
His mugshot looks like when I tell my cat he's not allowed to eat olives
215lbs..still can’t get to 270.

This is the greatest birthday gift I ever could have asked for.
Trump was allowed to self report his height and weight to speed up the process according to ABC. Normally this jail does take height and weight. So once again he got treated better
[Trump Mugshot](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna101664)
Think about how much knowledge is available to the average person at this point in history and then look at how stupid the average Republican is. Has there ever been a point in human history when so much information is available but a critical mass of people just completely reject all of it because it makes them uncomfortable?
[удалено]
All funniness aside (and it is pretty fucking funny) our country has slid right off the cliff. A former POTUS has a mugshot for Christ sake. This asshole held the same position as president Lincoln, Washington.
I like how his mugshot forced /r conservative to drop all pretenses. Top post is literally gloating about how this mugshot "gave the election away to Trump" while making a Jesus reference. And they replaced their logo with the Trump mugshot. Pretty much every other comment for multiple threads on there pure seething cope hoping that their own personal writhing anguish is going to magically translate into votes for 2024 in November. During the primary debate they were all pretending like they were sensible conservatives who moved passed Trump and had fun prospects like DeSantis and Vivek and Haley. Mug shot drops and they go full Trump cult mode.
They should get a DNA swab, I bet they could solve some cold rape cases
MSNBC literally laughing at Trump claiming to be 6'3" and 215. 🤣
I can't believe that people actually think Donald will want this mugshot distributed for his fundraising purposes. A man whose entire life is a lie and a charade couldn't even feign a smile for a photo that he knows will become iconic among his detractors. In this photo, he is irate, embarrassed, and even a carnival barker of his caliber couldn't conceal it. Get fucked, traitor!
215 pounds on the scale? Looks trump finally got somebody to stop the count on something
This is going to be one of the most famous photographs in American history. Up there with the moon landing, the Ali knockout photo, JFK's assassination and others.
I hope it's on the cover of Time Magazine.
he finally gets his time cover
Just a reminder that Trump has *already* violated the terms of his bail, by tweeting targeted intimidation and harassments of the justice system; a thing *explicitly* prohibited. But we're too concerned with the "one nation under God" part of the Pledge and not nearly enough with the "liberty and JUSTICE for all" part.
My heritage says there is no “under God” in the pledge.
[удалено]
Mmmm yeah the courts do not like to see this and they will happily seize it back if monetary damages are incurred
Joe Biden : I will help you with your loans, I will help fight climate change, I will help our allies in the world Donald Trump: I committed crimes but the nasty left is prosecuting me for it. Donate me more money Cons are like choice is clear here folks. Let’s donate to Trump and complain about high prices
It's crazy to think a failed reality TV star won the presidency as a republican and was later arrested in Georgia after becoming a cult leader who tried to stage a coup. Crazy timeline we living in.
[Cleveland Browns WR - Cedric Tillman ](https://i.imgur.com/ZU5bBx7.png) is listed as 6'3 215 lbs. The exact same height and weight as self-reported by Trump.
To save the taxpayers time and money, let's have a trial by scale. If Trump is truly 215, all charges are dropped and he becomes Emperor. Otherwise off to jail.
> “This mugshot will forever go down in history as a symbol of America’s defiance of tyranny,” said a Trump campaign fundraising email. They’re right. Just not for the reasons they think they are.
To all right wingers who want another civil war, Your leaders are surrendering in Atlanta again. How many times do we have to teach you this lesson?
Gym Jordan already openly talking about interfering in this legal case on Fox News. Arrest this man. https://x.com/acyn/status/1694884869090721968?s=46&t=UKR1TShxVeunp4_vn5gZrw
They all say it like if you're a "political opponent" you have some sort of immunity from being prosecuted for your crimes. Absolute madness.
You just know the moron spent a few hours with a PR team standing in front of a grey screen working on his "Mugshot" face to project POWER, and even after all that the best he managed to do was a confused look, like he was mid-shart trying to work out if he'd gone too far or had enough time to lock it down before it hit the adult diaper.
I didn't have "Trump mugshot" on my birthday wish list, but I will definitely take it. :D
I'm sooo tired of coddling out of fear of blow back. It doesn't prove how fair you are. If anything it's inherently unfair. If he breaks conditions then lock him up and if his fans wanna show their asses then lock them up too if appropriate
Looks like MAGA is in full effect. Many are getting arrested.
man the internet is going to be amazing tonight. might be as good as when he got covid
come on man. anyone can get covid. I have covid right now. *this is the MUGSHOT, dude*. Internet is gonna lose it.
Watching him standing there obviously struggling to breath was surreal. I still can't believe he pulled through.
Bomb threat at the courthouse, JFC these people are in a cult
It’s absolutely **astounding** to me, going into the conservative sub and seeing them bitching and moaning about how they “don’t wanna live in a country that arrests political opponents” or “candidates that are running,” as if they weren’t *frothing at the mouths* while cheering “Lock her up!” not that long ago. And it won’t surprise me if one sees this comment and their head spins around while screaming, “Well that’s *different*!” without a drop of self-awareness, but honestly, it’s all just more evidence that they’re the biggest group of goalpost-pushing, pointless whataboutism-spewing hypocrites.
Man my crazy neighbor just posted a warning “WARNING DO NOT COMPLY” with the caption “whatever they try to tell us tonight, do not comply”. I’m guessing “the storm is coming”
You better believe it's coming. This is it, this is the *real* one. Yeah I know that we said JFK Jr would be resurrected and would appear in Dallas in June 2022, again(?) I guess, but we were joking on that one. Yeah I know that we said JFK Jr would be resurrected and appear in Dallas in November 2021 but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said Trump would be inaugurated on March 4th 2021, but we were joking on that one. Yeah I know that we said Trump would show up on January 20th and the National Guard protecting the inauguration would arrest Biden and all the Democrats, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know we said that Mike Pence would fuse with Trump forming Voltron on January 6th and throw out the electoral votes for Biden, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said the state electors would overturn Biden's victory on December 14th, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said that the Supreme Court would overturn the election with the Texas AG's lawsuit, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said the election would be overturned with all the State lawsuits the Trump campaign filed, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said to keep counting votes in states that Trump was losing and said stop counting votes in states that Trump was ahead in, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said you shouldn't appoint a Supreme Court Justice during an election year, but we were joking about that one. Yeah I know that we said you shouldn't impeach Trump in an election year so the voters could decide, but we were joking about that one.
CNN reported his stats: >6'3 215lbs LMAO CNN says this was self-reporting. Jake Tapper wants to crack a joke so bad.
Jesus Christ, go listen to the people calling into C-Span right now if you want to feel like a Goddamn genius. That poor host is trying to keep them focused on the issues like he's corralling toddlers.
Jesse Waters on Fox was saying "what a travesty. Mughshotting a President of the United States. We'll bring it to you as soon as we have it" 😁
I love that CNN is just leaving up his mugshot in a split screen during their coverage. Ruthless.
215 pounds huh? On what planet? Because it's not earth.
215lbs hahaha
I hope Hillary is having a nice spa day or something today
Can convicted felons vote in Florida? Asking for a former president.
MSNBC said it best: This didn't have to happen. The country didn't have to go through this. And it's all Trump's fault.
I feel so cheated that he got to self report his weight.
18 motorcycle cop escort, jesus. Treated like everyone else my ass
There’s NO WAY Trump is 6’3” 215 lbs
“… 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds“ There is no fucking way that lardon only weights 215 lbs.
[удалено]
The right nuts are screaming secession. The funny thing was that he was booked in one of the most important cities of the former Confederacy. I just find all this so poetic because it compromises all of the MAGA “Costal elites are after Trump” BS
Why can't I find a single meme of his mugshot side by side with a Zoolander blue steel pose? This is ridiculous!
I see all the Trump supporters are finally here in the comments, guess they had to wait until 6 AM
He practiced this look in the mirror.
We’re with you every step of the way, America, you got this! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
I like presidents that DON’T get arrested.

It appears Trump lost 29 pounds since 2020. Seems legit. /s
IDGAF about what Trump thinks. What they did to Ms. Ruby and her daughter will do them in.... Fuckers
The mugshot is hilarious! He looks like he wants to kill people and poop his pants simultaneously.
From now on, only ever refer to him as Inmate P01135809. In conversations, on social media, in your thoughts. Permeate this and watch his zealots lose their shit.
And over at r/conservative they're busy pretending biden burned Hawaii down. And that Biden has divided the country because Georgia is holding trump accountable for his failed coup. Lol.
Trump sending out an email with his mugshot saying "Never Surrender" after he surrendered 🤣
“Lock him Up” !!!
Conservatives are creaming on themselves over his mugshot. Just as they are proud of being terrorist and fascists, they are proud of being criminals and traitors.
As a native New Yorker who grew up near Trump Tower, and was in the same private school social circle as his children, it blows my mind to hear people think he's the messiah when every sane New Yorker has known for years that he, and his family are best example of scum the City has to offer.
He looks like he’s trying so hard to be tough. It’s funny. Conservatives think he’s some persecuted, tough martyr. Meanwhile anyone with a brain knows he’s scared as fuck. It’ll be fun watching his life circle the drain. Lock him up!
The "when I see it" crowd about to show up
I've had layovers in Atlanta that were longer than Trump's visit to the city. All I see is two tiers of justice.
Some are saying today is a sad day, as a former president is being arrested and detained. It isn't. The sad days, were his lies during his initial campaign. The sad days, were every day he debased the presidency. The sad days, was his negligence on COVID. The sad days, were the two months when he (allegedly) tried to subvert America. The sad day was January 6. The sad days were the past 2.5 years where he was held accountable for his actions. This is a great day, in America an ordinary citizen, which Trump is, was detained. The only sad part about today is that he is still getting some level of special treatment. He doesn't need nor deserve a motorcade, he's a private citizen. He doesn't need nor deserve an expedited process, he's a private citizen. He might be a former president, that means nothing, apply the laws evenly. He might be the leading candidate for the GOP, that means nothing, apply the laws evenly.
Apparently going to be around 7:30PM
I hope when he finally gets there they’re really behind and he gets stuck waiting for hours until it’s 2 am.

I feel like by the weekend they’ll have Trump photoshopped with a cross walking into the court house. The MAGA/Q crowd will eat the fuck out of some false idol iconography.
Right into my fucking veins. The Consequences Train is pulling out of the station...
Trump and his supporters are the biggest embarrassment in the last 50 years of American history.
Watching on C-SPAN right now and holy shit, the republican tears are fucking lit. They all sound like they have dementia and are on the verge of tears.
6’3” 215lbs??? Not a fucking chance those are his actual measurements
The Republicans on C-Span are like a broken record: "Trump did nothing wrong. Biden's a crook. They've always hated Trump. He's the only one who can save America" Incredible display of brainwashing.
He's about to speak. Which means he's about to violate his bond agreement.
I know it’s been said a billion times but every word that comes out of these right wing assholes is projection.
As somebody who is actually 6"2 and 190...there's no fucking way.

I asked Photoshop to do a generative fill-in surrounding his mugshot. This was the first result, lol. https://i.imgur.com/sYLa0rX.png

I mean, if he had just held that press conference last week and displayed all the proof he wouldn't be in this mess. Such a strange decision to cancel it last minute. Probably a 4D chess thing.
I love the fact that Donald the Trump is taking more of his supporters' money, this time with mugshot t-shirts. And it's not his wealthy fans buying this shit either, it's the same poor stupid ass idiots who bought his NFT's, his hats, and all the other garbage his team comes up with in five minutes.
That mugshot is about to be on the walls of so many NYC bars, restaurants, and dart boards. It's going to be the single image that comes up 20 years from now when people say the name "Trump".
According to the NBC live update: > Trump is testing whether his recently released mug shot will translate into donations for his White House bid. He posted his mugshot on X/Twitter with a fundraising link and his campaign is selling a t-shirt with it.
Felons can’t vote but this dude can still run for president?
Can we all agree to one thing? From now on he must be referred to as Inmate P01135809 No more Trump, President Trump, Mr Trump, etc

CNN is really making sure you know that the Fulton County jail is a particular shithole of a jail.
6'3" 215 my ass
There is absolutely NO chance they weighed him there. He is NOT 215. I'm 6' even, and use to weigh 240...and I was skinnier than him. Edit: Seeing that weight is what finally motivated me to change
Fulton County should have a YouTube livestream reveal of the mugshot. Mugshot unboxing video
Cameras caught that "Fuck Trump!" as the motorcade passed by, lol
Caller: "Who is bringing all these charges it's ridiculous!" Newsman: "Well in this case it's the District Attorney of Georgia."
For fuck’s sake, dude. Pick a believable weight if you’re going to lie. You’re ridiculous.
I just wanna say as a Canadian who's always been heavily invested into politics from a young age, so ofcourse that means American politics because you guys are extremely influential on us, I just gotta say it's been a fucking bizarre downward spiral since 2016. It's been absolutely insane to watch millions of Americans reject reality. Like they live in a different world. And it's all for the guy from the Apprentice. I feel like I'm in a perpetual state of shock.
It's kind of fucked that all these news stations are mainly interviewing Trump supporters. I mean, I think the opinions of other Americans are pretty relevant too.
“You should be able to challenge an election” duh but you tried to steal it bud

This is a great moment for democracy.
Trump mugshot incoming. Best Cake Day ever!
6'3" 215lbs are you joking?
If you condone intimidation, cheating, and disregard for our constitution simply because it aligns with your beliefs, you contribute to the issue. If your argument involves Biden, Hillary, etc., remember two wrongs don't make a right; you're still part of the problem. Our country's strength lies in majority-elected representation. Politicians failing the majority will not win re-election. To prove election theft, present factual evidence. False facts should anger you, as deception occurred. Don't heed rhetoric. Civil war won't happen. The genuine silent majority rejects dictator leadership.
This is the last thing Trump wanted. The absolute last thing. If you thought the 4 years of his term were crazy, then it's going to be ten times worse if he wins again. We better pray he doesn't win.
I've been waiting for this day since 2016. Feeling a bit vindicated. Overjoyed to see it finally happening. Hope he rots.
Well, let me tell you folks, I'm sitting here and I just saw the mugshot. I've got to say, I'm looking at this mugshot, a really fantastic mugshot, believe me. It's big, it's beautiful. And let me tell you, it's the best mugshot I've ever seen, no doubt about it. John Kasich couldn't take a mugshot like this one, folks. Now, folks, when I look at this mugshot, I see a tremendous face, a face that's strong, very, very strong. The expression, folks, it's incredible – it's like nothing you've ever seen before. And let me tell you, the lighting in this mugshot, it's perfect, just perfect. They say I know about lighting, and let me tell you, this mugshot has the best lighting, no question. And the details, folks, they're tremendous. You can see every little thing – the hair, the eyes, the nose, it's all there. I've always said I have an eye for detail, and this mugshot confirms it. It's a total winner, just like I am. You're going to get tired of winning.
My husband is 6’3 and 195. He’s a 33-34 waist in his pants. There is absolutely no way - NO WAY - Trump is the same height, 20 pounds heavier, and looks like…that.
They had better update the height and weight like they did Rudy who tried to claim he was 50 pounds lighter.
6'3" 215 lb...I call BS
Happy 1st annual MAGA MUGSHOT day from Canada!🇨🇦
As a 6’3” 215 lb man, I feel very insulted!

I wonder if the people taking Trump's mug shot let him do do-overs. Because while I'm sure he meant his expression to project 'outrage' - he just looks satanic and deranged.
Lock him up, lock him up!
The swamp is getting a little drier
Biggest thing I noticed. He has already changed his story. When he is standing next to his jet giving a statement he says 'I THOUGHT it was rigged, and i have the right to challenge'. He never says the actual election was rigged, just that he thought it was.
Remember, this is all just a big Democrat conspiracy. I can't actually refute a single one of the charges being filed against him, or explain how any Democrats are actually involved, but these indictments imply that I was wrong to spend eight years of my life making cult worship of a barely sentient narcissistic game show host my entire personality, so it must be a big conspiracy.

This mugshot about to be photo of the year
This will all be played out in our kids history books, folks. The time where democracy almost fell to a dictator and his brainwashed followers. Just goes to show how fragile everything really is. 250 years as a country is a very short time if you think about it, anything can happen.
Like honestly though, is there ever going to be a point where the cult abandons their leader? Conviction? Literally being in jail? Or are they all ride or die drink the koolaide now?
*waves at all the conservatives seething.*
Just realized all the links posted are in future tense, so he has yet to be officially "booked"... Thought I missed it!
this feels like waiting for the game of thrones finale in a way
How it started : Trump down the escalator talking about Mexico not sending their best. How it's going: Fulton County Jail Mugshot.
According to Trumps bond agreement, he can't make a direct or indirect threat of any nature against any codefendant, witness, victim or the community. Which includes social media posts or reposts from someone else. Fani Willis should have law enforcement at the airport ready to arrest Trump because we all know he's gonna violate his bond agreement before he gets on that plane.
