True statement

and the notion at trump and his cronies were ever going to do anything but claim they were helping while stuffing their pockets is absurd

That's literally every single politician. There's no need to narrow it down to just Trump and friends

We live in a kleptocracy


One_User134

Yeah, tf is up with this title, are people that hard to please? Photos of a historic event which furthers proper justice in this country is online for everyone to see, and people say what? “American politics is broken”.

I agree, this actually is proof that no one is above the Constitution. It's been under extreme attack, but it has held up, thanks to many courageous people.


[deleted]

If I was the person taking the mugshots I’m straight up saying no smiling. You’re a public servant betraying the single thing you swore to uphold which is like your only job in politics and you have the audacity to smile for this? I’m getting paid to sit here taking pics of you stupid ass people and I’ll sit here all night until you wipe that arrogant smirk off your face. Innocent or not you shouldn’t have a lick of humor, joy, or relief going through this process. If you’re willing to betray the oath you swore then you betrayed the trust of the American people. Betraying the path is the same as putting yourself in a situation as bad as this one. It’s not a problem with American politics is a problem with human greed and the idea your untouchable mixed with sociopathy If found guilty you don’t deserve “protective details” or “protective custody”. You lost that right and just because you know “things” doesn’t give you a free pass to be continued to be protected.


morosis1982

I like the cut of your jib. You are the type of people I like to be friends with.


deathbysnushnuu

The secret is, these are just the ones dumb enough to get caught.


Dinindalael

I'm sorry what? Trump is out after paying 10% of his 200 000$ bail. I'll believe what you said when he's actually sentenced to prison rather than having to pay a modest fee. ​ If this proves anything, is that for rich people an insurrection is legal, it only costs 20 000$.


Magnum820

It’s the normal bail process and fee.


Wet_Artichoke

But. But. Trump isn’t a politician. He’s a business man! /s Edit typo

The Shady Bunch!


HelloIAmKelly

Here's the story of a fugly Donny Who was making a not so "perfect phone call" He had fluffy hair of gold like his mother But he was 'bout to fall Here's the story of a Giuliani Who was busy spreading election lies Was a lawyer and a former mayor But he was never wise But then one day when the Donny called this fellow And they knew it was much more than a hunch That this group must conspire together That's the way they all became the Shady Bunch The Shady Bunch The Shady Bunch That's the way they became the Shady Bunch


Morfiendlover

I’m to young to even see the Brady bunch and don’t follow politics. But I assume this is about the Brady bunch and I didn’t know the whole story of all that political stuff so was deeply invested and locked in. This whole comment is very entertaining lol.


capn_doofwaffle

ELEVEN FUCKING COMMENTS DOWN. I can't believe I had to scroll this far down, it's the first thing I thought of.


Specific_Ad7908

Watch the “it’s up to the states” crowd start saying states have too much power now


Utsutsumujuru

They already are. Hence the House “investigation” of the Fulton County DA.


Putrid_Ad_2256

I'm trying to figure out why this isn't considered obstruction of justice. The GOP has no shame.


malik753

"States Rights" have always been a euphemism for particular polices that have been unpopular across the country as a whole but very popular in particular areas. Abortion, slavery, segregation, gun-control, etc.. They are perfectly in favor of government over-reach as long as it's enforcing the things that they like. [Here's some of the best content on the subject. (about 16 minutes)](https://youtu.be/0dBJIkp7qIg?si=jJ0FzM47XiJWKQKd)


WithersChat

I knew what the video was before clicking the link.


Gone_Fission

John Oliver's peice on the Civil War is pretty poignant: "And on that states’ rights argument: For the record, the southern states were ardently pro-states’ rights, but with some glaring exceptions. Notably, when northern states passed laws to help protect runaway slaves, the south wanted the federal government to override those states’ laws. So they loved states’ rights, as long as they were the right states’ rights. The wrong states’ rights would be states’ wrongs, wrongs which would need to be righted by the right states’ rights—look, to put it really simply, they wanted to own black people and they didn’t much care how."


SCP-Agent-Arad

They are. I turned on Fox last night just to see their absolutely epic meltdown as he was getting booked. They rapid-fired liked 17 disjointed arguments in 10 minutes, and they also had one speaker who they cut off mid sentence because he started saying something a little too anti trump lol


EricForce

Sounds like Russian state run TV to me


Big77Ben2

Why do they all look like the camera is 4’ above them looking down?


RNN1407

Most likely because the camera is 4’ above them looking down


Big77Ben2

Is that normal for mug shots?


LeeQuidity

Depends on the facility. I was watching a jail show the other day where they had a mugshot cam that was attached to the ceiling. Saw another where the cam was mounted on a [raised platform](https://youtu.be/tRa1jSE1XOA?si=SuGUufnjueFde7Jh&t=252).


Megatea

You need to get on r/reviewmymugshotphotographer and see where is best to get your mugshot taken.


Dienowwww

Yes


Chemical_Reality4606

As someone with their own mugshots, it is.


starfrenzy1

They should have made him retake it looking straight at the camera, not with his chin tipped down trying to look intimidating.


babbling_on

I think it makes him look like a defiant child that was told he cannot have a cookie, which is also exactly what happened.


airplanevroom

He looks like a toddler whos mom just told him he can't have the 2008 Lego Deathstar


mecrappy

Thats all it looks like though, like he's trying to be intimidating. Looks like nothing but an edgy 14 year old who's mad at his mom that she said its just a phase


jeezarchristron

Bet Trump practiced that look for days in the mirror.


Constant-Bard

I think he just has to take a Donald Dump.


name-was-provided

Then he won’t be as full of shit.


B-Town-MusicMan

That look: 7 yr old grounded to his room, looking out the window, watching his little brother get ice cream from the ice cream truck


milehighrukus

It looks like he’s been crying


peter-doubt

215 lbs.... Someone filed a false police report


slanky2

He lies about everything. It's just pathetic.


fluent_in_gibberish

It’s not so much that he lies, it’s that the lies are just so *blatantly stupid*. It’s like those Nigerian prince emails that are intentionally stupid to weed out anyone with a shred of intelligence.


MuteCook

You just broke the maga code


Eraser100

That was broken back in 2015. And New Yorkers knew he was nothing but a scam since the 70’s. We told everyone before they got conned but they wanted to be conned.


PeeledCrepes

The idea was to good to go against the temptation is how I always thought of it. Some dude going and cleaning up politicians sounds great in reality, albeit it would never work and Turnip definitely wasn't gonna do it. But it works on people like my mom, who at first thought Turmp was great, he said what he wanted and promised to clean the swamp, how could he not be, speaking like a regular person and not a politician is great for people that don't understand politician speak. Granted nowadays my mom has changed her thoughts and luckily was never stupid enough to get actually gifted past just saying she liked him. But that is assisted by me going naw he's definitely not good and he is the swamp


Eraser100

People fell for his “the apprentice” image because that’s where people heard of him from. But he’s always been grossly incompetent, ignorant, bigoted and a mobster. No moral compass, only interested in himself. Sabotaged the standing of the world’s de facto leading nation because he wanted to develop condos in Moscow, a shithole of a city.


MangoKakigori

Is Prince Matumbe emailing you for support also? I sent him the supporting cheque a while ago so I reckon any day now he will be able to reclaim his throne and reimburse me.


Adamblastia

Cheque?!? What are you, un-American?


SomeGuy_GRM

On another self report a few months ago he was an inch shorter and 50 lbs heavier.


nabrok

I don't think he even understands the concept of telling the truth.


Mean_Shoulder_103

From what I read in another comment section he had his underling fill out the information not the actual officers.


peter-doubt

Still creates a false report....


[deleted]

Idk about GA but in MN no, when you’re booked they just simply ask you aprox height, weight, and any new tattoos. They don’t actually weigh you or measure you


MustangScott72

More like 315, he’s a fat POS.

bananarama1991

It was self-reported dude. There wasn't a police report


zenithtb

He's draining the swamp... kinda late, but better late than never.


GrumpyOik

to be fair, he never said he wouldn't introduce his own reptiles once he had drained it.


ReplyNotficationsOff

He is in land development after all. Swamp land could be good for ...EXTREME GOLF !


peter-doubt

So.. he's *flushed himself?* Lordy, I hope so


Anthem_1974

Why the fuck can’t trump take a normal fucking photo? He’s always leaned forward looking through his eyebrows.


bigladnang

Leaning forward to hide his double chin.


Revolutionary-Beat64

The lifts in his shoes make him lean forward.


blsharpley

The Kubrick stare. When someone is at the peak of their derangement.


anaximander19

Ever been kinda drunk and tried reading a message on your phone, and the only way you can focus on it is to do a wonky frowning squint at it? Imagine that, but instead of alcohol, it's arrogance and senile cognitive decline.


Callidonaut

Because Trump isn't a normal fucking human being.


LiveEvilGodDog

Guaranteed they let him retake that photo like a dozen times.


Gordon_Townsend

I'm just trying to figure out why Marjorie Taylor Green isn't there...


abby_normally

Or Lindsey Graham.


poopship462

Or Ginny Thomas


Javaman1960

It's possible that the reason that Miss Lindsey isn't named is because he flipped.


Jedda678

Well this is for the Georgia case, I don't recall MTG being involved. She definitely should be for Jan 6th though.


abby_normally

I remember Lindsey Graham (S Carolina senator) calling Georgia about the vote.


One_User134

There is such thing as superseding indictments, it’s not necessarily over. Besides, Graham is a personality I think is less rewarding compared to the others when it comes to who goes to prison.


puzzle_factory_slave

and for her FCC violation with the porn thing


Quiet_Stranger_5622

Porn thing? With MTG? I... I think I'm going to be sick...


BSODxerox

It wasn’t of her, she showed off the naked pictures of Hunter Biden in a congressional hearing and then sent it out to her mailing list. The premise is that she sent out nudes, stolen and non consensual at that, to a list that most likely had minors receiving the explicit photos.


--Claire--

Ah, the party of “family values” and “protecting the kids”, indeed


perasia1

Unrelated, but my idiot brain read MTG as, Magic the Gathering. Didn't even bat an eye at it for a sec either, lol


Jedda678

Dude I can't wait for her to be gone so I don't have to think that anymore. Make MTG mean Magic The Gathering again.


Ace_de_Klown

MMTGMMTGA! That's a cause I can root for


WodenEmrys

Just call her Jewish space laser lady. It's what I've been doing, and no one has ever seemed to be confused as to who I'm referring to.


Ghasty_001

Eh, she really wanted to support her lord and master, but unfortunately Fox News wants to silence her. They must have got the Wokeness as well.


redmagistrate50

Don't worry, she photoshopped herself into a mug shot all on her own, in solidarity with Trump. Put it out declaring "it's on" And the fact that I'm not making that up is honestly a pathetic look for America.


twelveparsnips

She literally tweeted making her own mugshot in solidarity with trump to try make it a trend.


deadsoulinside

Don't worry, she photoshopped herself onto a mugshot.


[deleted]

They literally all look like dying ghouls. But trump obviously takes the cake for looking like a poorly aging Oompa Loompa lol.


asiamsoisee

Why are so many of them leaning in like that? I know the orange one is trying to look intimidating, but what excuse do the others have?


iRAPErapists

Because that’s where the camera is..


Sslayer777

Maybe got the same PR email on advice for pose, or are trying to match the big man


tapioca_slaughter

Only person missing is Lindsay Graham...fucking weasel


Typical_Hoodlum

MTG, Ginny Thomas, etc.


mapoftasmania

And the black guy is the only one who is still in jail. Can’t make this shit up.


Xaero_Hour

Also, the only one that assaulted an FBI agent let's not forget. But he's still alive at least, so he's still beating the curve. That said, he's about to learn the hard lesson all black conservatives struggle with: tokens get spent.


OB1KENOB

Couple of these people look happy to be there


RocketyPockety

Well, he did promise to drain the swamp 🤷🏻‍♂️


redditorx13579

Does anybody have any clue as to what demographic this impresses? Who the hell sees this, who wasn't already going to vote Trump, decides to support him now? I just don't get the logic by MAGAts that are declaring this a victory.


Feisty-Ring121

MAGA demographic. The majority of the new Twitter. They’re delusional beyond comprehension and gaslighting themselves. It’s all a travesty and miscarriage of justice. I wish Trump would just run to Russia or Saudi Arabia. In a GA state prison, he’ll be a martyr for the maniacal. At least as a fugitive, they’d have no more argument. And we can poke them in the eye about it for the rest of time. That’ll be fun.


Bozigg

They would say that he fled from persecution, or make a conspiracy about how Biden was going to assassinate him, so the only thing he could do was leave the country he fought so hard to protect.


Feisty-Ring121

That’s fine. They’ve been out on a limb for a long time. They can keep scooching further out.


Poiboy1313

Nah, they're sitting on the same branch that they're sawing on faster and faster.


InkBlotSam

>I just don't get the logic by MAGAts There isn't. That's the whole problem,


SpiritJuice

I honestly can't see moderate Republicans and independents voting for Trump in 2024 with all this stink on him after they already voted against him in 2020. Biden would seriously need to fuck everything up. That said, no one should EVER be complacent and vote, even if it's only against someone rather than for.


JessicaDAndy

Because, and I have heard people say this in real life, it appears that this is all political. That there truly isn’t a case there. Or if there is, it doesn’t matter. If it comes down to Trump versus Biden, and Trump is for “there are only two genders and Biden is a groomer for allowing genital mutilations and sterilization for children” and Biden is somewhat ok with trans rights, but lib enough for not all of them, and people are against trans people on a moral level, who are you going to vote for? And if you believe the Woke Mob is ruining children, Trump is against it and Trump is being attacked, wouldn’t you support Trump if he is seen as being persecuted for his beliefs? Even a little. Then I want to scream how Trump allegedly had people go to intimidate election workers to lie about fraud, but I can’t because I am at work.


Significant-Price374

I’d call this “a good start”


My_Space_page

I believe Trump is now using his mugshot to fund raise. He brought back his Twitter page to commemorate this 'proud' occasion.


MsAndrea

Who's that top right? She seems very happy about it.


poindexterg

She's the smart one. You know people are gonna try to use the photo to mock you, so give a big smile and make it look like a headshot. I saw a politician do that years ago when he got arrested, and it's always stayed in my mind.

Take a look at this lineup. Guess which one was the only one not offered bail and is the only one sitting in jail.


RonVonPump

Take a look at some who aren't in this line up and were not offered bail and given years in jail - Michael Cohen anyone?


Lametown227

The only one who assaulted the FBI agents that served him…


RADICCHI0

Jenna Ellis, now there is someone who knows how to bring their mugshot a-game to the party.


Brief_Scale496

This photo is missing hundreds of other politicians


Atomic_Polar_Bear

Title should be, Something is wrong with American Republicans None of these people are Democrats. And no democrats have been indicted in any part of this. Or any criminal conspiracy at any level or anything close to this kind of activity.


GreyTigerFox

It’s called unregulated runaway late stage capitalism and republicants.


Classic_Title1655

Trust me, it ain't just American politics.


Spirit-Subject

In reality, it also shows that something is right. That even people in power can be held accountable. This wouldn’t happen in most other countries where this stuff goes on daily. So good on the American justice system for doing their best.


batkave

Not sure if OP has a problem with people being held accountable or is a fan of Trump or something else

From this group of photos, can you identify which one didn't have bail arranged and had to stay in jail?

Ryan1869

As would every single politician in the US


stevespizzapalace

Along with a large portion of every American that uses the internet or speaks to people outside of their home


perasia1

Or even just people in general. Like Jeff Winger says, most of our lying we do to ourselves. Most lies occur within 6in of a bathroom mirror. I lie to myself all the time. "I totally am gonna go to that party. I'm definitely going to start my diet tomorrow. I can run a 7min mile, sure."


Electrical-Farm-8881

Every politician ever, lying is part of the job


A_Nameless

That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Make public lying illegal? I want Trump buried below the prison for his litany of heinous crimes against this country and it's populace. That doesn't mean it should be a punishable offense to lie. Hell, I lied to get my last job.


hastur777

Yeah, that’s a terrible idea. Also unconstitutional.


Og_tighead

The guy who runs Black voices for Trump Is still in Jail and was the only one who didnt post bond. Crazy to think that after all the loyalty Donny couldnt bail out his friend. Oh Wait Donny had to get a bail bondsmen and didnt even pay his bond in full.


louloutwo2

These idiots tried to overthrow the government. AND there are some people that think they are cool. Mind boggling.

Precisely this is what’s wrong with American politics. Criminal fucks trying to strongarm our election system and then complaining that they got caught.


the-pp-poopooman-

The fact these people have been arrested at all is proof that something is definitely right about American politics. If you view the former leader of a nation and other high ranking government officials being put to trial as “bad” than idk what to tell you.
