The mugshot for America!!

Now that Democrats have shown how far they will go, Republicans will feel it necessary to prevent them from ever doing it again.
Note the half-hearted attempts by celebrities and talking heads to claim that Trump is getting what he deserves. They know the Georgia indictment is a joke — that a thousand Democratic politicians, including the prosecutor herself, could just as easily be indicted for the non-crime of claiming that elections have been stolen.
Democrats relished the idea of this moment — for years — before it happened. Yet now that it is a reality, what they should really fear is what Republicans will do in response.
Big changes will be made, and justifiably so. Secret archives will be opened. Mass pardons will be offered. Whole government departments will be dismantled or relocated. There will be no kangaroo courts — none of the perversions Democrats have committed — but the Democrats behind the “Russia collusion” hoax, including Hillary Clinton, should call their lawyers.
There will be no mercy for those who have attacked the rights and values of our constitution and then claimed to be acting in defense of democracy — a democracy they abhor when it provides leaders that do not serve their own corrupt interests.

The indictments of Donald Trump, capped by this final, vindictive effort at humiliation, are an attack on the rule of law and the foundation of our society. On social media, people mentioned the attack on Fort Sumter that launched the Civil War. And the analogy is valid, because there, too, the rebels held the advantage until the nation could regroup, and respond decisively.
. . . . .And it no longer matters whether this is all part of a clever Democratic plan to ensure that Republican voters nominate a supposedly “unelectable” candidate. It doesn’t even really matter if Trump loses this election. Few Republicans will consider that result credible. And the fight will continue, long after Trump, until the immense wrong of this moment — of six years of torment — has been remedied.
I was fearful of what a Trump mugshot might feel like. Not because of what might mean for the next election, but what it might mean for the country. I feared a sense of degradation. I feared that Democrats would not stop with Trump: the fact that the Georgia indictment — like the parallel federal indictment — criminalizes political speech really does mean they are coming for all of us.
But I found, to my surprise, once I saw the mugshot, that I felt excited, almost elated. Trump’s glowering face did not show pain or shame. It did not even show anger. It was a look of righteous indignation, the glare of a man who may be a prisoner now, but is actually in control. It was the expression he wore a thousand times on episodes of “The Apprentice.” It was how he looked when he said, “You’re Fired.”
They will all be fired, if he wins. And half the country is prepared to do whatever it takes to give him the chance.
It’s not a mug shot… It’s a “lemme see yer war face” moment.
The mugshot for America!!
“Republicans will feel it necessary to prevent them from ever doing it again.”
Noy sure I believe that. Not about the current bunch anyway many of them are in this whole thing to keep Trump out of office.
“sweep away the rot in our government, without compromise.”
NO, should be “sweep away the rot WITHOUT MERCY.”
Trump’s mugshot is the stuff of Warhol: Instantly iconic Americana that will be reproduced and repurposed for decades to come.

First U.S. president to submit to a mugshot? Be careful what you wish for.

To laugh at this mugshot is to misunderstand it. Georgia has just crystallized Trump’s campaign message with a copyright-free image that will win him the nomination.
Fani Willis, Georgia’s district attorney, surely felt quite self-satisfied these past two weeks. We all saw her smug press conference announcing Trump’s indictment.
But the mugshot — wholly unnecessary, avoided in Trump’s three other indictments, meant to humiliate and degrade — has opened up a brand new revenue stream and re-energized Trump’s already fanatical base.
As has Fulton County’s explanation?

Democrats behind the “Russia collusion” hoax, including Hillary Clinton, should call their lawyers...
as should whoring cokehead and influence peddler Hunter Biden, and his partner in crime, his father.
Bkmk
I want a t-shirt with Trump’s mug pic on it along with the caption, “This Mug’s for you.”
Its not even a mugshot, its totally gangsta and an exact replica of the photo on the cover of his book, I think he practiced that shot for days..he totally played these fools totally played them..they wanted a sad lil man staring at the camera and instead they got a defiant man just look at the eyes, they can see right through you he wants revenge and its gonna be SWEET
Yes they have.
Language alert, but wow.
It rallies his base. We will see if the independents care.
Being attacked by the corrupt evil who’ve hijacked government is truly a badge of honor.
Considering ONLY Trump has been subjected to this is more than revealing. This de facto makes Trump possibly the greatest president in American history and clearly the #1 arch enemy of the corrupt evil ruling class.
A lot of Dems and even Republicans don’t understand how this has the possibility of making him a much more sympathetic figure to minorities.
He’s not an untouchable white man anymore.
Trump was coming out of a bankruptcy hearing
a reporter asked if he was going to give up
Trump said, “Do I ever?”
he does not back down
They mostly don't. Same goes for a vast majority of women.
Biden gets to use Trump as the “bogeyman” to motivate his base to vote for the Democrats.
Loving that video clip. Thanks for posting. I hope it goes viral.
...an exact replica of the photo on the cover of his book...

That’s a good observation and I agree he probably practiced it. He totally nailed it.
Democrats relished this moment — for years. Yet, what they should really fear is
what Republicans will do in response. Big changes will be made, and justifiably so.
