So are we going to see mug shots or not? I want them.
Supposedly no mug shots taken. I don't know why.
Apparently the rationale was that he is so well known that we don't need an official up-to-date photo of him for identification purposes.
However, celebrities with wide spread photographic images are routinely mug-shotted in the USA.

Methinks it is that two-tiered justice system that Fox News keeps decrying.

An orange fingerprint around the mouth. That's good, but we need a better caption.
“Unpresidented”

“Webb Telescope’s new image of black hole’s event horizon “

“Uranus, close up”

I genuinely don't know what to do about it. I’m not even going to hazard a guess. It is interesting to analyse how it could have happened
His popularity owes to the fact that he isn't very bright. His ability to remain out of jail owes to the fact that he has lots of money. Is Orange Face really a bully or just a wannabe? He's 76 years old, he wears makeup and he weighs 270 pounds. Does that sound like a bully? The guy couldn't tear his way through a wet paper bag. He strikes me as a scared rat afraid that someone is gonna clean his clock.
"He strikes me as a scared rat afraid that someone is gonna clean his clock."--a good definition of one strain of bullies--add in Trump's case narcissism, wilfulness, and sadism.
 
Holy Week has been hijacked by the spectacle of white evangelicals crying over their savior Donald Trump. The former president was charged by a Manhattan grand jury this week with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. While the indictments are related to hush money Trump allegedly paid to cover up affairs and improperly recorded as business expenses, some supporters see this as Trump’s passion play. That is, they see his prosecution as a persecution, as a punishment Democrats are inflicting on him because he was their chosen one, the messiah who gave them power.

Trump’s arrest may be a first in American history, but for evangelicals who support him, it is the fulfillment of their prophecy of persecution for Trump, for whom many of them have shoved aside Jesus to praise. But this new passion play, which is centered around alleged adultery and payoffs, isn’t anything like the story of Jesus. This week’s story revolves around alleged behavior antithetical to Christian belief, behavior that has historically been anathema to evangelicals: adulterous sex — with a porn star, no less — and lying. Yet, white evangelicals are still supporting Trump.

A group of Trump-aligned evangelical pastors came together on a call to pray for Trump’s victory after his arraignment, and James Dobson, the evangelical pastor who founded “Focus on the Family,” prayed that God would “restore him to influence and power.” But the support for Trump goes far past mere prayers for him.
 
Fani Willis, Trump and a RICO indictment?

....
It further notes: "The wide scope of the investigation has been evident for months, and Ms. Willis has said that seeking an indictment under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, statute is an option that she is considering," the Times report added that Willis "may do so after a new grand jury begins its work in the second week of May, though nothing is set in stone. Typically, presenting such cases to a regular grand jury is a short process that takes a day or two."

In these parts racists are very touchy about being called racists.
In America they're called "Freedom Caucus Members" or "FOX News Presenters".
Yesterday I saw a group in dune buggies, all with flags. Typically an American flag, often an Arizona flag (this was in Arizona), multiple confederate flags and something I was never able to identify. (They were flapping, I never had a good view.)
 
Some nice polls. Trump approval ratings.

ABC - IPSOS 25%+ 61%-
CNN 34%+ 58%-
Quinnipiac. 25%+ 62%-

Post indictment numbers for Trump are slipping.
