    This isn’t an “agree” or “disagree” statement. It is a factual matter. Whether you or anyone else agrees, it is still true.

      people in the United States having mugshots are common due to the kangaroo courts here

      goes so far as you get into a mugshot magazine

      just because Trump does it does not make it just a Trump thing that is bad

        It highlights hypocrisy. His supporters are generally incredibly harsh against anyone with a criminal record, deserved or not. Trump himself paid for multiple full-page newspaper advertisements calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty against accused (pre-trial) defendants and never retracted it, continuing to demand their deaths even after they had been proven innocent.

          what about the hypocrisy that is the democrats

          scream progress, no to racism, universal healthcare, etcetera but still got Biden who might as well been Republican

          he stated the Catholic Church was what he went by, wanted segregated schools, healthcare that only profited and helped owner class, for oil drilling

          our last president was virtually indistinguishable from republicans even going as far pardoning his son for crimes he helped put people away for with crime bills

          not to mention Harris who had rnc instead of a dnc filled with republicans and the vp that was picked was similar to biden with his stances on oil and even partnered with trump to get oil deals pushed through during his time as governor

          hypocrisy is that both parties are not for the United States but for a select few and the quicker the citizens turn on the two parties and riot to dismantle this system of oppression the quicker we will be freed from being slaves to the hypocrisy

            Virtually indistinguishable? You really think there’s no difference between, say, this time last year and now?

              no difference at all

              still no universal healthcare, minimum wage is frozen, out of control police, not enough education funding

              list goes on and on

              anyone saying any different does not travel across the entire United States on the ground in a vehicle regularly

        Look, you seem to be a very disagreeable person, which is in direct contrast with the point I was attempting to make.

        OP posts constantly here in high volumes. I don’t think she really cares about the content. It’s the act of posting that OP seems to enjoy. Quantity over all else. I didn’t expect a response from her.

        You, on the other hand, are just responding with increasingly more asinine statements. Maybe you can read the room and try to figure out why the actual fuck you’re being downvoted so much.

        Perhaps… And I know this is novel, given the times, but, perhaps you can reflect and consider that your opinion might suck like a big wet canvas bag of castrated donkey balls marinated in pickle water.

        Just a suggestion. Take care.

  • Disagree about the “mugshot” thing.

    I have one too, but it was the fucking school admin being dipshits and sided against me in a bullying incident where I defended myself, and then they called the gestapo, who, of course don’t bother investigating, and just willy-nilly arrest anyone who they don’t like.

    Charges were dropped.

    Arrest/Charges =/= Guilt

      I will agree with you on the mugshot/arrest thing. You could have 100 charges brought against you and still be innocent.
      If you’ve been convicted of 34 felonies and been impeached twice, that’s a slightly different matter.

      Unfortunately, making a point succinctly often means making a broader statement than desired.

    I’m just over here rooting for all that McDonald’s to come catching up to him, because that feels like the only meaningful check-and-balance left.

      You guys gotta stop tempting fate or they’ll invent mind uploading a few decades too early.

      Be the change. ;-)
