To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

Interesting

Trump and Elon always had to get together at some point.

This is good for a few chuckles.

The Georgia Indictment Mug Shots: A Close Reading

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/08/georgia-rico-mug-shots-who-managed-to-pose-for-the-best-one-so-far.html

Wearing the vacant gaze of the deeply hypnotized, paired with a white, collarless blouse, Powell looks like a member of the chain-smoking doomsday cult in The Leftovers being nabbed for a bout of domestic terrorism. Her forehead is placid and dewy; her grin is slack. Having been red-pilled against the deep state in the way of an internet-illiterate boomer, Powell is a true believer. This mug shot is all part of Trump’s beautiful master plan. There is nothing to fear.

She doesn't look like Ann Dowd's character, but Gladys, a little bit. (Nitpicking Leftovers fan.)

Yeah, I was gonna say, that's not Ann Dowd (whom I know mostly from Handmaid's Tale).

Ann Dowd in The Leftovers is what Trump's lawyer should have looked like.

i'm coming back around to 'classic' tbh

When this whole Georgia Trump trial shebang is functionally disabled and possibly dismissed through the attempted or actual removal of Willis from her office in October— these antics will be the fun times that I recall fondly.

Oh, stop.

Powell looks like an A24 ghoul or a creepy doll that moves when you're not looking at it.

Giving Graham Ingels vibes

that's some heinous-clickbait-article-on-the-newsweek-site thinkin, suh

Who let NYT Pitchbot into this thread

Maybe all doom posting can automatically be replaced by the classic “wriggle out of this jam” tweet. It captures the sentiment so no need to keep finding new ways of saying it

hi jenna ellis x

i would have more confidence in his wriggling abilities if there was one case instead of four

srsly, Hunt3r, that's embarrassing.

Assuming it doesn't already exist, one of you nerds should whip up an Atlanta PD mugshot generator.

hi jenna ellis x

lol

#mugshot #atlantapdfilter

an ex-President got arrested in Atlanta and all I got was this lousy pee tape

xp ha sorry to disappoint. it was partly meant to be some doom humor, about y'know, now. these good times. there are suits pending against the law, there's kemp's own ambitions, there's the commission, and public opinion.

on the other hand, it's real, and donnie does not necessarily need to win, he needs to slow all of his procedures way down while he foments-- whatever it is that he's hoping to foment. actually cancel that, he needs to win, but delay helps.

re: Hunt3r's magical thinking ... Anyone who thinks we're going to somehow escape the mess we're now in during our lifetimes is kidding themselves

yeah I"ve already made my peace with that. the damage by this current court won't be actively stopped at earliest for probably decades and then the lasting effects by what they've done, well, longer than that.

nevermind that in 20 years it will be 173 degrees outside.

but...i don't dwell on it anymore, just try and live life the best I can

Yep, and knowing that the MAGA crowd will have one hell of a time finding a new avatar

sorry, messiah

I'm not one of those people who've spent the last 48 hours deliriously chronicling every waddle Trump's made, but I'm not one for Eric's strawman either. I know no one who thinks we'll somehow "escape" anything.

Pretty sure James Cameron already promised two or three more Avatars.

xp Little miss evil

Poor little flower.

they kept saying on the news how it was a solemn time and nobody was happy about this...but they were totally wrong! i was very happy. i couldn't have been happier.

It will be an even happier day when Giuliani receives some poetic justice i.e. getting shanked to ribbons inside the big house

xps Why do they always look like unhappy rabbits?

I know no one who thinks we'll somehow "escape" anything.

I won't stop believing.

Who's crying now?

A buddy of mine came to the bar last night to tie one on in celebration of Booking Day. He ordered a Mug Shot of my choice, so I gave him a shot of our best tequila in a Moscow Mule mug. Anyway, on his way down into a dissolute puddle he said, "Back in WWII they said that the greatest hero of the war would be the person who killed Hitler, and that turned out to be Hitler. Today the greatest hero might be the person who kills the Republican Party, and that's going to turn out to be Trump." It was kind of funny/striking at the time but maybe a little overoptimistic?

It's just something public figures have to reiterate to counter accusations of it being a politically motivated revenge scheme or whatever.

I do not think Brian Kemp will be inclined to call a special session of the Georgia legislature to remove Fani Willis from office. He loathes Trump, and does not need the crisis that would ensue.

removing a special prosecutor from office doesn't end a criminal trial, anyway, just slows it down
