This is mildly impressive. I would not have expected Trump's toadies to be booked and mugshot because, as of yet, Trump himself hasn't been handcuffed, perp-walked, or mugshot himself.

We'll see what happens tomorrow.

The sheriff has previously stated that Trump would be treated just like anyone else, and the way the toadies have so far been treated seems to back that up. Fingers crossed!

I know, and it's definitely possible they've found the one sheriff in America who just doesn't give a fuck.

I really, really hope that's the case. If there's one thing Donald Trump needs, it's to feel the clamp of handcuffs, the sting of a perp walk, and the flash bulb of a mugshot.

But I'll believe it when I see it.

My bet is he gives plenty of fucks. He wants that picture of him upholding the law to go down in history. Which I am totally cool with.

It literally will, wow. You just need to be standing in the path of a camera when Trump gets booked and history students will be learning your name.

I hope you're right.

Every other person who's indicted or "booked" Trump in this country seems to have done it solely for performative political points, judging by the total lack of actual police procedures they've followed thus far.

Time’s fucking ticking, Donnie boy

Yeah... But expect some kind of payback from him and the henchmen.

Let them slowly out themselves one by one. Each and every time they get reamed by PD or the FBI. All the j6 losers have been getting wrecked in court. Keep it coming.

We are stuck having to deal with these rejects, the very least we can hope for is that they continue to fuck up at literally anything they try to do and get nailed to the wall by the justice system.

I am fucking thrilled that Sidney Powell in particular got snatched up. She was just so, so awful. Absolutely the signpost at the intersection of Stupid St and Evil Ave.

It's weird that I generally have been following this but have no idea who she is. Do you have any place for me to start reading?

I don't have anywhere to start reading, but she was pretty vocally involved with the whole alternate electors and election fraud shit. She was on Fox, and other places, pretty frequently pushing it. She was probably more the face of it than Rudy was. I'm not sure how you haven't heard about her, but she wasn't hiding. It should be easy to find.

Just her wikipedia article will get you a general feel. She's the deep end of Q. Election lies, antivaxx but less on the "it should be my choice" side and more on the "babies of vaxxed parents are born with all-black eyes and sharp teeth/the vaccine makes you magnetic in order to power the surveillance microchip in it" side. She's at least a 4 time veteran of suing the government about the election and losing, and she eventually went so far off the rails that the Trump legal team sorta disowned her in public though she still met with him in private while he was president. She's a hateful, harmful monster who was willing to do anything to seize power. Now she's gonna go to jail, which is dope.

She makes my skin crawl - fucking horrific person.

Mug shots please!

That's the only time I ever wanted to look at Guiliani's ugly mug.

In a high stress situation like this I expected much more hair dye running down his cheeks.

He looks as if he wants the camera to melt down.

Why so angry, Rudy? Didn't you have fun working for the clown?

I will pay ten dollars if anyone sees her walk out of courtroom or police station and screams "the kraken is released".

I'd pay twenty to see her try to lift her eyebrows

We're all witnesses here: ten dollars to support your favorite lemmy instance.

Can we throw some funny hat wearing just for comedic purposes?

Kraken released on bond.

Yeah, whatever happened to that? Did the kraken ever get released? What was the kraken supposed to be anyway?

Who is paying for their bonds? I assume it's not Trump.
