“Photos like this are typically exercises in enforced humility.
Not in a free country, Atlantic, not in a free country.”

Right. The purpose of the picture is not for “forced humility” purposes. It’s so that the arresting officers have a picture of the charged, for their records.

It's not supposed to be anything other than an administrative action. And I wouldn't go tossing the Medussa word around loosely, Megan.

We live in troubling times.

This one-sided BS is getting to me as well and I have fairly thick skin.

Has anyone ever paid for a subscription to or bought an Atlantic in the past decades or so?

He was supposed to hang his head in shame and wear his crime on a sign hanging from his neck like the Chinese did during the cultural revolution. But he wouldn’t do it. And that drives them crazy.

Donald Trump’s booking photo was supposed to be an exercise in HUMILIATION.

Boo hoo. It didn’t turn out that way.

I wish he’d smiled in a “Howdy, folks” kind of way. Looking peeved was a lost opportunity imo.

Humility?

Humiliation might be more like it.

Threat? Menace?

No. Defiance!
