What kind of idiot smiles for their mugshot?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year 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 23 points 1 year 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.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

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

They won't be smiling for long.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

I see at least 7 sociopaths just by the eyes.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Seriously, was looking at the same thing

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.

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

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

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 year ago

look at these fucking ghouls

[–] Tinnitus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Wussy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Jenna Ellis: chuckles I'm in danger.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago (1 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.

[–] Geek_King@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

They all look like psychopaths. Also why are there two people smiling like idiots? I wanna see Trump's mugshot.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

why are there two people smiling like idiots

The idea is it reduces the embarrassment of the photo. This made the news years ago.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They all look like psychopaths.

I know getting your mugshot taken isn’t exactly a joyous experience but why can none of them pull off a neutral “I’m not guilty” face? Like it’s either weirdo smiles or murderous glares. Just make a plain face like you’re at the DMV.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Uhh, my DMV picture looks worse than these. It looks like they woke me up from a drunk state and I have no idea what's going on (I had to go pretty early, so was really tired and unshaven).

Kenneth, say "Cheese", bro.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year 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...

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Such diversity!
The political party of the REAL 'Murica, folks!

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It’s a very diverse group of white people 😂

They all look like Palpatine.

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

The Shady Bunch.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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
