Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Only someone from a silver spoon, gated community upbringing would look at that mugshot and think "he looks hard".

He looks like a pouty little brat. 🤣

I love this mugshot because for the first time in a long long time, America is united. Everyone loves it.

The Republicans think he looks like a bad mother fucker, a political martyr, simultaneously Jesse James and Robin Ford, a Churchill that will fight till the bitter end and a Spartacus up against the corrupt elites.

The rest of us think he looks like a pathetic moron on his way to prison.

Either way America stands, for once, united.

So basically his mugshot is like some weird fucked up rorschach test that tells you where someone falls on the political spectrum? 🤔

Tbh hasn't that just been the entirety of Trump for the last decade?

When I first saw it, I could not help but laugh. It's so clearly a guy who looks shaken, hoping he looks 'tough'. And, his eyes are red, so I assume he was crying just before the shot.

I saw one article that said he didn't blink while he was there

So, probably drugs of some sort

More likely, paid advertisement. 🤣

I never noticed the red eyes before. That just makes it even funnier.

This is a post tantrum pouty brat. 🤣
