Their fear of this man is palpable. Truly in the realm of unrecoverable madness. Would feel sorry for them if they weren’t so dangerous.

I have wondered for many years what the “last straw” will ultimately be.

We seem exceedingly close to that event, to me, with this mug shot; and it starts with my screen name from long ago when people finally do not consent... and say plainly say: No!

Oh….the little Democrat children thought President Trump should look sad.

They need to grow up.

I’m tired of Democrat children.

Proof they want to break him.

“Photos like this are typically exercises in enforced humility.”

They wanted to humble President Trump. Instead, Donald Trump gave them the most iconic visage of sheer defiance in American history. A look of defiance together with searing contempt.

The look is reminiscent of Uncle Sam’s renowned “I want you” posters.

In an attempt to seem more erudite, this “journalist” shoehorned in the story of Medusa. The analogy doesn't apply, and comes across as forced.

Other than that, the journalist seems to be irked that Trump's mugshot doesn't depict him as defeated. Instead, he appears to be emboldened. Hopefully, for once, he hires a solid legal team.

If the cameras love Trump then he loved them back.

We must submit; it is illegal to fight the Left.

The Left never really does panic like some people think they do. When they get into a bind, they will just roll out another lie. It is then echoed by the press. Works everytime.

The government is suing SpaceX for hiring Americans, as opposed to illegals and supposed refugees. Just a few years ago, that would have caused consternation and outrage nationwide. Now, it doesn’t. No Republicans in Congress will at least open their mouths in protest.

Jim Jordan may exercise extreme boldness and start another investigation.

I’m joking but half heartedly cause what I’m about to say is probably true.
This will be the basis for another indictment for witness tampering and intimidation.

Well, at least they’re admitting this whole thing is about trying to humiliate Trump.

No... they are a method by which police can identify people by more than just a name. Only a libtard would see this as a punishment process.

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


A fight for survival is no place for playing “stepin fetchit.”

The passive wing of the GOP would have loved to have a Jeb Bush who would have grinned and spread his cheeks in this situation. Fortunately, it didn’t turn out that way.
