What kind of idiot smiles for their mugshot?

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 69 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The one who doesn’t even comprehend the seriousness of the charges against them

Which is weird, since she's a lawyer.

Ability to pass the bar does not mean one is intelligent

The type of idiots that've never faced consequences before.

They won't be smiling for long.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago

Why wouldn't she? The people she's looking to for support look at them all as if they're either:complicit in the coverup (stolen election) or the brave patriots fighting for their country. If she smiles, she's playing the patriot part.

Maybe it's just cynicism talking, but these people are playing their supporters... not trying to prove right from wrong.

She knew that people like you would see the photo, so she smiled. I think it's a mistake to treat it as anything but calculated.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

It’s a PR move. If you know your mugshot will be on TV, you don’t want to look guilty or like a crook. They already claim the charges are false and a Democrat plot, so smiling is the best option of a bad situation.

I recall the guy that got busted for meth but he knew it was a bag of kitty litter, he had a huge smile on his face.

Oh my gosh in all this I didn't realize they got Sidney Powell, too. Only one missing is Ginni Thomas.

[–] aegisgfx877@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Look at the look on Sidney Powell's face, shes a fking nuts as we all knew she was, maybe more

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see at least 7 sociopaths just by the eyes.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

They knew the mugshot would be on the media so they knew it would be better PR to smile and not look guilty.

Giuliani didn’t get that memo.

[–] hauntology@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago

Giuliani is looking at the camera like it just told him it won't pay his legal fees.

[–] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I see only 2 smiling tbh, but yeah that would have been the better strategy

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I also see only two smiling, and a whole grandma's weird ceramicl bowl of nuts.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 45 points 2 years ago

look at these fucking ghouls

[–] Tinnitus@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

I like how you can tell which ones know they might be fucked this time.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Jenna Ellis: chuckles I'm in danger.

[–] Wussy@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Looks like Ray Smith didn't get the memo about the dress code. Dude came straight from his shift at Best Buy.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ray Smith looks like he lurks at the foot of people's bed and watches them sleep.

Kathy Latham started ratting the second she heard the door latch click closed in the interrogation room.

It looks like Jenna Ellis misunderstood why she was having her picture taken. Her brain saw a camera and though "I smile at cameras!".

Kenneth, say "Cheese", bro.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Here's the story
Of a bunch of assholes
Who were busy with an election to overthrow
All of them had pasty skin
Just like their god king
The youngest one around seventy-two...

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They all look like Palpatine.

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I love how weirdly accurate this is LOL I can all picture them saying "dew it"

[–] hauntology@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So, if you take a picture of someone with white hair it reflects the light back and blinds the camera? What is up with the lighting in these pictures?

[–] clutch@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look like pictures taken with cheapo Logitech webcams

The political party of the REAL 'Murica, folks!

The Shady Bunch.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Ray Smith really should have gone in the centre, with the blue shirt and that hair, he makes the perfect Alice.

I couldn't help myself and did a quick rearranging lol

Eastman looks like he's just about to enjoy his first torture-murder. Smith looks like he's on his 10th.

Worst Brady Bunch remake ever

[–] Isthisreddit@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago
