Slobfather mugshot and hallelujah
Oh yeah. The way-too-long awaited and historic mug shot of Donald J. Trump, now listed in the Fulton County Jail database as prisoner number P01135809, has been released to joyful applause by beleaguered Americans who never thought we'd get here. We thank God, Fani Willis, Jack Smith and all the other tireless, principled defenders of democracy who ignored the toxic lies, threats, feints and bluster to teach a lifetime crook what happens when you fuck around and find out.
The pointedly, theatrically glowering image - Never Surrender! except four times - was released Thursday evening after Trump was booked at the Fulton County Jail on 13 felony counts stemming from his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, even though no other sentient being wanted him to be president. He and 18 other lowlife perps had been ordered to turn themselves in by Friday at the notoriously grim jail where DOJ officials just opened an investigation after “credible allegations that an incarcerated person died covered in insects and filth."
A famed germaphobe, Trump alas didn't stay long enough during fingerprinting, in-take of lies and close-up to encounter the insects or filth. But in his fourth criminal indictment and history's first-ever mugshot - a malignant image that will presumably evolve into his presidential portrait, such as it is - Trump was charged by a Fulton County grand jury on Aug. 14 of crimes ranging from racketeering to conspiring to commit forgery to filing false documents. He now faces 91 felony charges - 44 federal and 47 state - that could carry a staggering 641 years in prison, and yes we hope he gets to serve all of them.
Americans unspeakably weary of his lifelong, racist, bullying, criminal entitlement - and what Joy Reid painfully recalls as its thoughtless, enduring damage to people of color and so many others - celebrated Trump Arrestmas by creating their own giddy #TrumpMugShot for posterity. Enticingly, news reports said the trial is now scheduled to start March 4, 2024, a day before primary elections in several states; in a blessed bonus, they also said that under Georgia law, which allows cameras in courtrooms, it will likely be televised. Talk about arc of the moral universe. To the two-bit, lock-her-up mobster: How does it feel.

Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It's never been this bad out there. And it's never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed, the threats we face are intensifying. We need your support now more than ever. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Will you donate now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
