Is that Lincoln Project video in the first link fake? Where is that, who are those people? Could the image on the big screen, and the little one on the balcony, have been inserted over some older shot of some sports event? ---

Ha! I would say it’s very likely fake. Looks like a sports bar. Most likely the “hometown team” just won. ---

Damn. It didn’t occur to me that it was faked but yeah, it probably is. ---

yes, it’s been used with many different events - it is already a MEME in itself ---

I’m trying to think of what Trump’s mugshot reminds me of. > **[Presidential mug shot of inmate No. P01135809 is stark in its simplicity |...](https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/24/politics/trump-mug-shot-analysis/index.html/)** > > Millions and millions of photographs have been taken of American presidents. But none like this. The first thing is Big Brother from _1984_; not that he looks like Big Brother, but his expression reminds me of a Big Brother-like person. That is, he looks like a dictator making a ‘strongman’ pose. Or maybe some sort of Evil Villain from a Bond film. Or something. Whatever, to me he looks like a buffoon. EDIT: Someone posted a meme on Facebook with pictures from _A Clockwork Orange_, _The Shining_, _Full Metal Jacket_, and Trump’s mugshot. **The Kubrick Stare**. _That’s_ what Trump’s mugshot reminds me of! ---

The first thing I thought of when I saw that was the expression on a playground bully’s face when another kid has gotten off a really good yo mama joke, and he doesn’t have a comeback. ---

This was my comment on the Traitor-in-Chief’s mugshot in another thread: > [@What happens if Trump is indicted in Georgia? (Indicted on August 14, 2023)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happens-if-trump-is-indicted-in-georgia-indicted-on-august-14-2023/979928/1057): > > For his purposes it’s perfect. It’s a poster child standing for: I am pure distilled hate. I will win and I will get my revenge on all who have or will dare to cross me. You who are my true supporters will bask in my glorious vindicated munificence while you watch my enemies be roasted on spits. See this hate? It hates for thee, oh my loyal supporters. My hate and my rod shall comfort thee, for it hates the same things you do. Now go forth and visit your own raging hate on all who stand … ---

Something I noticed about his mug shot - the sheriff’s emblem in the upper corner is rather smaller than in his co-conspirators’ mugshots. My theory, he stood there for half a second and said, “take it, goddamn it,” and started to walk away and they just had to snap it to get it done. ---

Another theory just came to me … “Sir, stand right here.” “Where, here?” “No, here.” “Here?” “No, no, right over here.” “Here?” “Or for fuck’s sake, just take the picture.” ---
