The liberal media should stop reporting Trump antics. If they did this in 2014, he would never have been elected. The media only wants a story and they never think of the consequences. That's why over one mil died of covid.

You know he practiced this pose for many hours in the mirror.

How do you expose a legion of morons to the truth who insist on holding their noses, plugging their ears, and wearing blindfolds?

I kind'a like ol' P01135809's mug shot. I can make multiple copies and take it out to the range!

ol' P01135809. I don't think we should refer to defendant Tweety by any other name, ever again.

Why did they let him pose like that? Surely it like a passport photo where they want a full face shot? They should have had someone on hand with the authority to demand he look straight into the camera with a neutral expression.

The former fascist guy’s mugshot is indicative or the kind of retribution he would inflict on the US if he were elected.

I find him increasingly more ugly as the days pass.

OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BIDEN

Dear President Biden,

I hope this letter finds you and the First Lady in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my profound gratitude for the 2nd honorary certificate that you recently sent to honor the memory of my father, who was a Disabled World War II veteran. This gesture has touched our family deeply, and we are incredibly grateful for your thoughtfulness and recognition of his service.

Allow me to provide you with some context as to why our family was unable to accept the certificate signed by Donald J Trump during his tenure in office. My father held deep-rooted values of democracy, justice, and equality, which were seemingly under threat during President Trump's presidency. We were disheartened by his attempts to disenfranchise eligible voters and his efforts to hinder social services for the American people—services that my father strongly believed in and benefited from.

Additionally, when President Trump lost the second presidential election, his refusal to accept the election results and an orchestrated violent insurrection shocked our family and the nation. Witnessing such an attack on our democracy was distressing and made us question the very principles our nation was founded upon. While we hope for healing and unity, it deeply concerns us that President Trump continues to perpetuate falsehoods and attempt to reclaim the presidency, jeopardizing the fabric of our democracy.

We are grateful for your leadership, integrity, and commitment to uniting the American people. Your dedication to upholding democratic values, improving access to social services, and creating a more equitable society is reassuring, especially for families like ours who have a deep connection to the sacrifices made by our veterans. Your administration's focus on restoring faith in our institutions, addressing the needs of the nation, and strengthening the bonds of democracy is truly commendable.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to you for honoring my late father's service with the 2nd honorary certificate. It serves as a poignant reminder of his bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our great nation. 

President Biden, your thoughtfulness has brought immense comfort to our family during these challenging times. We are grateful for your steady leadership and rest assured that our family stands firmly behind you as you work towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

He is the Devil reincarnated-

His mug shot should be his official Presidential Portrait. It should be hung in the White House public bathroom above the toilet. Trump is actively encouraging violence among his base, he brings up civil war all the time and it's not by accident. He wants nothing more than a repeat of Jan. 6th with weapons drawn. We can't let him succeed. Everyone should share and expose what he really is to the public every chance we get. He's a menace to society, to our country and to our democracy.

Make America Glower Again. Perfect rejoinder. He’s been a mobbed criminal all his life, a sociopath feeding off of self-righteous victimization. He is proof of the utter failure of American ideals.

LOVE THIS! The mug shot is the facade. With tRump (oops, P01135809), it’s all about the facade, the show, the production, the fiction. There is NOTHING about him that is real or authentic (or even human) save for what Prof. Reich shows in the second photo. I would love it even more if, every time from now on the mug shot is shown, it is side-by-side with the second photo.

As usual he looks like a demented buffoon.

Unlike Republicans, Democrats have a hard time making their messages stick. I wish Democrats would just say simple things over and over again, like “A Democrat for Social Security.” “A Democrat for Medicare.” “ A Democrat for health care.”

See whether simple messages can stick.

John Bolton was on CNN last night, laughing at and making fun of the defendant. Bolton said the inmate and his advisors spent as much time rehearsing his facial expression as they did combing his hair.

I think he looks like Bozo the Clown! Does anybody else remember Bozo?

The “mug” shot is mimicking “Uncle Sam wants you”. Check it out. So yes, it’s intense most of all. You can call it angry because that’s how you feel so you see it that way but it is far more diabolical and dangerous.

The only way through this is get out the vote! The more who vote, the better the outcome.
