his campaign is already selling t-shirts with the photo on the front and the words “NEVER SURRENDER!” on the back

Didn't he literally surrender in order to have this mugshot taken?

Could be the most ironic hipster shirt ever made.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

You can say what you want about his followers, but intelligence was never among their strong points.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 years ago

It would be a very funny shirt if some people were smart enough to not think you agree with them while wearing it.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The real money maker is selling a very similar shirt that says "surrendered" on the mug.

Trumpcriticizestrump coming from trump himself. Well he isn't known for being smart or capable.

[-] papalonian@kbin.social 51 points 2 years ago

Apparently he's already selling t-shirts with this picture on it. Never a missed opportunity.

[-] Sinnerman@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

What?! You mean he already gave up on NFTs?

@Sinnerman @HLMenckenFan @papalonian

Orange isn't in style anymore.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Grifters gonna grift. Since donnie is a fan of Adolf's, he probably knows that he did a stint in prison too.

[-] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of 'Colonel' Tom Parker selling anti Elvis merch to the protesters outside the concerts.

[-] whatisallthis@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

You’d be an idiot not to. That was the very first thing I thought of.

Perfect headline. Donnie surrenders and mugshot is released.

Just perfect. Now if they could have just slapped cuffs on him and put him in prison until his trial...

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 years ago

A better headline would mention he's a one term president. I always love when I see "one term president" instead of "former president" like you usually see. Maybe also throw in how few one term presidents there have been for extra spice.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I do like when they mention how many times he's been indicted, too.

Ngl I was ~~expecting~~ hoping for worse

[-] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

Do they not do the height measure backdrop and the name placard anymore?

[-] twistypencil@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I actually think it's a good shot, he looks defiant. I very much think he is a terrible human, though

[-] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Why does this look like bad AI?

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Never forget, that the religious right thinks that this is the anti-Christ while this is their savoir

[-] gullible@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

That’s hilarious, he extended his neck forward to gain a jawline as if he were in a photo op.

[-] books@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

The dude has been in front of a camera for most of his life. I guarantee he practiced this look and studied the lighting and angle of the other 8-9 people's mugshots he saw. He knew the best angle.

I'm sure his big quandary was whether to smile or not.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 2 years ago

More like the people taking the shot are Trumpers.

[-] twistypencil@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I would not be surprised if he worked with someone to come up with the perfect shot. Some photographer, or stylist or whatever, and then he didn't pay them

[-] Tigbitties@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Trying to summon his Dark Brandon?

That pic shows his true face, his real, unvarnished contempt for the law.

[-] lagomorphlecture@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

He's not smiling.

[-] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Can someone tell me specifically what Trump did to cause this issue? Linking to a non-biased article works too. I've tried googling it but keep coming up on articles that feel somewhat biased. I am looking for a list of legal/constitutional violations if possible. I promise I am not trolling i am just a citizen trying to stay informed. Thank you so much for your help.

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 31 points 2 years ago

PBS links the full indictment here. It includes a summary that may or may not "feel" too biased for you, but you can skip it and go straight to the source PDF.

Here’s the formal charging document: https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/08/CRIMINAL-INDICTMENT-Trump-Fulton-County-GA.pdf

It spells out the accused violations that are before a court of law to rule on.

[-] joekar1990@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

From Fulton county grand jury

Via AP News:

The nearly 100-page indictment details dozens of acts by Trump or his allies to undo his defeat, including beseeching Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to find enough votes for him to win the battleground state; harassing an election worker who faced false claims of fraud; and attempting to persuade Georgia lawmakers to ignore the will of voters and appoint a new slate of electoral college electors favorable to Trump.

In one particularly brazen episode, it also outlines a plot involving one of his lawyers to access voting machines in a rural Georgia county and steal data from a voting machine company.

IF (and that's a big hypothetical) you are not trolling you are one of the problems our society is living through at the moment.

Lemme be real with you boss, if all the articles you have found feel biased maybe the bias is not in the articles thselves but in you. Maybe you want to find a reliable source disproving the theories of "the left" against the Donald, or an official statement capable of cleaning your cult-leader name.

You won't. We all listened to the call he made to Georgia State Secretary and we all saw what happened on January the 6th after Donald' speech.

So IF you are not trolling Stop, revise your approach to the issue and check whether the bias is in or outside you from an objective point of view. Then keep looking for facts and information

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Don't look for unbiased sources. Those are nigh impossible to find. Instead, pick the facts out of the biased sources. Then dig into the implication of those facts.

For instance, it is a fact Obama wore a tan suit. Then some news sources and biased actors went off the fucking rails at how awful it was. It was such a sore spot for them, it garnered its very own Wikipedia article. And what is the implication of a tan suit? Nothing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controversy

So you can look at those biased sources and ignore any apocalyptic prophesying. Find the facts. Not the fluff.

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

You can always check out mediabiasfactcheck if you’re worried an article is too biased. It’ll tell you how biased and if it’s a left or right wing bias. Bias now looks and sounds wrong.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

It’s good to see you’re awake! Once you’re done reading the indictment(s) you should Google covid-19. That shit was wild!

[-] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Yeah it's been tough adjusting to how different everything is now.

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 7 points 2 years ago

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, thank you I am also a big boy!

[-] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Wow, that face expression is as evil as it can get. I bet he thinks: ”You’ll all be diggin’ in my coal mines when I win the next election…”.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

he needs to be holding up the nixon victory fingers while saying he is not a crook.
