No orange jumpsuit. No prisoner number. No height lines in the background.

Very unsatisfying mugshot.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago

Most mugshots aren't like the movies. You shpuld treat them exactly how you would anyone else. No better, no worse

[-] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Like the other guy pointed out this is a fairly standard shot. Whatever you’re wearing that day, blank background, shot in a couple seconds. The height markers and holding a placard with your name are things that were phased out a long time ago.

this is more ghoulish 👉

look at her! She is happy and proud

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Ok. That proves it to me. It's not the camera. His eyes are red from being either shitfaced or seriously hung over.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Or from bawling like the little baby he is.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

She's dumb. It's cognitive dissonance. She's literally too stupid to understand whats happened. She still thinks Trump won and it will be just a little while longer before it's proven.

She's relying on her supporters to say she's a political prisoner rather than the voter fraudster that her party regularly lambasts.

I think it's just the energy she feasted on from twelve newborns this morning. That's why the Christo-fascists don't want abortion, have you seen how difficult it is to get babies for vampiric practices at the minute?

At least I can muster a bit of sympathy for why Oswald turned into Penguin. Guliani turned into Ghouliani only because of greed and dementia.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Ghouliani

😂

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Guliani turned into Ghouliani only because of greed and dementia.

This incorrectly implies he wasn't already a ghoul even back when he had all his faculties.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

The comment refers to this image :

Penguin from Batman

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

How horrifying.

Most incarcerated population on the planet, only fitting its Mayor has a mugshot.

Dude was also a fascist creep.

E: Typo, was supposed to say always. He was a fascist creep, and he still is too.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Still is too.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Why is he wearing a Flag pin? Sad and pathetic.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

It's common among politicians and LEOs, not just veterans.

[-] Cethin 27 points 10 months ago

It's common for people making an appeal to nationalism instead of an actual argument.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, every politician really doubled down on flag pins after 9/11. It never really went away. Almost all of them do it or are afraid of being called unamerican if they don’t do it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Obama went without one a single time in the 2008 campaign and got lambasted for it. It was never a thing before 9/11, but now it's just another bit the flag waving crayon eaters of the Republican party can use to pretend they're the only patriots.

America's Ghoul. Looks more like a weird yearbook photo.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

And this isn't even the guiltiest he's looked.

Him in Borat 2 was creepy as fuck, and you know that's not the first time he's done that.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I mean, is this man not a fair (if unkind) summary of the US currently?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

The fact that he was ever called that just shows we were far gone as a country way, way before all this.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

It's my understanding that he wasn't even a good or respected mayor before 9/11. He was largely disliked. But the rest of the country just started garbling his balls because be was mayor when the planes hit.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Before then, he was seen nationwide as centrist Republican who would go along with Democrats on a lot of issues.

So, how's that going for us?

Can someone who’s better at photoshop than me please shop Biden behind him similar to this meme? 🥺

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ehh best I could do on my phone from bed.

Edit: if anyone has a high resolution version of the Biden picture please send it

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

"Boggy was able to photoshop this from his bed. With a phone!"

"I... I'm not Boggy, sir!"

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Well, you could talk to boggy, he loves to share his knowledge.

If he had stopped after 9-11 he could still be the hero mayor today.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Dude could’ve made bank with speaking tours, punditry, etc. I have no idea why he made the stupid career decisions that he made.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Looks like he’s turning into Igor.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Why doesnt Don the Con have to take one of these again?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Today he’ll get one

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You can see the Conservative Moral Authority crackling right off him.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I wonder how this one respected politician could end up as a pathetic figure spreading lies about a “stolen presidency” next to a porn shop in order to support a notorious liar and former reality TV host?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

The "respect" was nothing more than him being an opportunist in regards to a national tragedy. He was always this person - it just took a while for people to see it.

It is our own fault for continuing to support this corrupt party!

Seems to not matter how badly these Republicans fuck up, the American people are ready to give them power again come the next election cycle. It is like we have collective amnesia or something and we can't remember how bad Republicans are at managing. They freely admit they despise the big bad government, so why the fuck do we think they would do a good job at running it?!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Psst! The problem is FPTP!

If a normal, proportionally elected parliament, there would be room for an alternative that vouches for the same opinion, but due to their slightly lower level of corruption would be seen an alternative for people who votes republican. Thus, through a free market of ideas (something ‘muricans ought to like) the party that was abandoned by theirs electors would clean up their act and come back stronger.

It works in almost every other democracy!!

PS: you’d probably have to switch your presidential election system to use Approval or Condorcet voting systems.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure most Americans here don't support this party, so the term "we" is loose at best.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The whole election system in America is flawed, this “the winner takes it all” system combined with the electoral college, which can turn out to ignore the majority vote is laid out to foster a “them against us” mentality. And before you let the other side win (“bohooo, they are all communists…”), you’d rather give criminal your vote. Coalitions and compromises like in other countries with a “majority system” are not very likely in this constellation.
