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.

This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. US voters have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news.
