Ok so I am not buying the tough guy act he is desperately trying to portray in the photo. Dude is a walking ice cream sandwich in a suit.

[–] liv 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't even realise he is trying to look tough. He looks anxious.

[–] StringTheory 5 points 1 year ago

Red eyes and make-up wiped off his nose like he’s been crying, and a sulky expression..

Not at all tough. More like a young child who had a temper tantrum and is pouting.

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't doubt that he is belligerent, I don't doubt that he is capable of murder. He is a rapist. If "dangerous" is considered tough, then I buy it. But tough is not the same as strong. There is no strength without empathy.

[–] Shhalahr 9 points 1 year ago

Dangerous is not the same as tough. When toughness is necessary, then weakness is the dangerous trait.

I'm not sure that's what he's going for. He just looks unhappy to me, which seems very plausible. If he had half a brain, he'd do a Bill Gates and put on a careless smile in his mugshot.

[–] AndrewOz 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought you were required to wash off makeup before a mugshot?

[–] storksforlegs 8 points 1 year ago

I think the orange has just leeched in permanently

[–] MadMenace 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Does anyone know why he used a bail bond company? Seems weird. Does he really not have the $200,000?

[–] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 29 points 1 year ago

The first thing you learn when you start gaining money is that it's always best to tie up someone else's money. Most people learn this first with credit cards.

[–] uniquitous@universeodon.com 16 points 1 year ago

@MadMenace @Egg_In_Question He might not be liquid. Or he might just be broke. Or he's just a cheap bastard. Any or all of the above.

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

What? What are you talking about? That's not how bail works. He doesn't need 200k.

The amount of your bail is the amount you owe if you don't appear in court, not the amount of the deposit, i.e. the amount of cash you need on hand. That's 10% of the total. If you have a 200k bail amount, you need 20 grand on hand, not 200 grand.

[–] MadMenace 14 points 1 year ago

Hmm, that's not how they work in my state. You either pay 100% of the bail yourself, or you pay 10% to a bondsman and they cover the other 90%.

[–] skadden@ctrlaltelite.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Doesn't this make her point even more? Had to use a bondsman for 20k but he's super rich? Yiiikes

Someone on Mastodon pointed out how he looks like Vigo the Carpathian in his mug shot, and I can’t stop laughing.

[–] Shhalahr 2 points 1 year ago

Now is the Season of Evil.

[–] SomeGuyNamedPaul 2 points 1 year ago

I need to see this edit.

Is this real? I haven't kept up with the news but if so this is fucking great.

[–] metaltoilet 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fan-fucking-tastic. Too bad that fucking weasel was gone an hour and a half later. But at least it happened I guess.

[–] metaltoilet 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now those who oppose trump must spread it everywhere to humiliate him and not let his fans use it to "own the libs".

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

bUt hE lOoKs So bAdAsS

Edit - my wife just me this

[–] metaltoilet 4 points 1 year ago

OMG I love that!

[–] Laneus 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and those who support trump must spread it everywhere to raise funds for his legal fees and or campaigning

This pose was specifically intended for tee shirts, banners, and protests. There's going to be a lot of money made off this picture.

[–] Rentlar 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Alright, so I can refer to ex-president Trump as Inmate #P01135809 for the duration of the trial.

Well I hope Inmate #P01135809 gets a fair trial and the justice he deserves.

[–] Onihikage 15 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the Kubrick Stare. A staple of the villainously deranged.

[–] metaltoilet 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Beat me to it :). His weight and height should be out soon if anyone wants to make bets.

[–] ericjmorey 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

6'3" 215lbs was reported. I don't believe that for a second.

[–] mookulator@mander.xyz 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s self reported. They released it before he entered the building

[–] Shhalahr 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What the hell? Why provide those details at all if you aren't going to make sure they're accurate?

[–] mookulator@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

He probably has lawyers fighting literally every step

[–] metaltoilet 10 points 1 year ago

Oh that's such BS. They let him self report.

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Well his hands are pretty small...

[–] Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 12 points 1 year ago

This photo has become its own Rorschach test

[–] baggins 12 points 1 year ago

Seriously, could they not get a shorter cameraman, or lower the tripod? A lot of these pics are taken at this angle.

The twat is posing. Why was he not made to stand straight and not pull a face like he's on a wannabe supervillan dating site?

[–] itsonlygeorge@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Looks like he's been crying.

[–] circularfish 10 points 1 year ago

Giving off some serious 1930’s mob boss vibes with this one.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

It looks like an image generated by stable diffusion.

[–] Radiant_sir_radiant 6 points 1 year ago

Apparently there were several unsuccessful attempts .
(German only, but hopefully still a little bit funny.)

[–] shiveyarbles 2 points 1 year ago

Let's reflect that this turd inherited 400 million dollars, and he couldn't find happiness. Just misery.
