Judging from this mug, shot photo of Donald Trump, and Georgia tonight, it’s clear the former president intends on using it on all of his memorabiliau, shirts, posters, campaign ads, and trading cards..
Seriously, it’s less like a mug shot and more like a thug shot..
This developing.. A grand jury in Fulton County Georgia has its indictments set and ready to go. Charlie Gile at NBC snapped the photo to prove it — unlike Reuters earlier today..
BIG FLAG: a Fulton County grand jury has returned 10 indictments. @CharlieGileNBC snapped this photo at the clerk’s office.
The presiding judge has the final say on camera access. Media organizations are required to file a formal request, known as a Rule 22, for the judge’s consideration. The filing is often considered more of a formality, as the requests are almost always granted.
This means that if the former president is indicted and required to travel to Atlanta for an in-person arraignment, the world would likely see him on camera for the first time as a defendant, standing before a judge and entering a plea. Up until now, there have been only a handful of photos allowed in the New York City courtroom before his arraignments. And there has been no video of Trump — or his lawyers — uttering the words “not guilty.”
Millions of people have watched Oliver Anthony perform RICH MEN NORTH OF RICHMOND on YouTube and other social media platforms over the previous few days–days.. Millions..!

This reaction comment on his Youtube channel speaks volumes:
I can’t listen to OliverAnthony‘s “Rich Men North of Richmond” without getting chills. It’s raw, it’s true, & it’s touching the hearts of men & women across this great nation.
Based in Virginia, he’s a farmer with three dogs. Inspired by Hank Williams Jr., Oliver’s music is being called an anti-Biden song..
A X-(ex-Twitter)-thread from Jason Howerton after speaking to him:
This song is called "Rich Men North of Richmond." It has been viewed MILLIONS of times.
The artist's name is Oliver Anthony. I just got off the phone with him.
With his permission, I'd like to share the story he told me that moved the deepest parts of my soul…
Political earthquake Friday.. ? Or just a small shake..
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday said the federal prosecutor who has filed criminal charges against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, would get additional authority to investigate whether the son engaged in improper business dealings.
Garland’s elevation of prosecutor David Weiss to special counsel comes as Republicans in Congress threaten an impeachment inquiry into unproven claims that Biden benefited from his son’s business ventures.

On the heels of a confusing and breathtaking week in social media, Elon Musk just concluded his poll that got millions of views and votes.. In the end, majority ruled: MUSK INVITED TRUMP BACK TO TWITTER..
Others including left and right wing users were restored this week.. Musk however declined to allow Alex Jones back to the platform.
But Saturday night live is here: “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated,” Musk tweeted Saturday night. “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”
More from mainstream reporting:
Trump has previously said he would remain on his platform, Truth Social, instead of rejoining Twitter, but a change in his approach could hold major political implications. The former president announced this month that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, aiming to become only the second commander in chief ever elected to two nonconsecutive terms.
Asked on Saturday what he thought of Musk purchasing Twitter and his own future on the platform, Trump praised Musk but questioned whether the site would survive its current crises.
“They have a lot of problems,” Trump said in Las Vegas at the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting. “You see what’s going on. It may make it, it may not make it.”
Still, Trump said he liked Musk and “liked that he bought (Twitter.)”
“He’s a character and I tend to like characters,” the former president said of Musk. “But he’s smart.”
An ominous blood moon lunar eclipse will hang in the sky as ballots are set to be tallied for the Nov. 8 general election.
The Election Day eclipse, NASA says, is the last total lunar eclipse the Earth will see for the next three years.
Breitbart published a leaked version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant, including the names of an FBI special agent and supervisor agent, on Friday. The agents both signed their names on receipts for property seized from Trump’s home, including boxes of classified documents that reportedly may have included nuclear secrets. A redacted version of the warrant, which omitted the names of the agents, was officially released hours later.
“It’s also worth noting that they published the names of the FBI agents, which serves no purpose other than opening them up to threats and harassment,” legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti tweeted. “Breitbart is also confused about what ‘SSA’ means. It refers to Supervisory Special Agent, a FBI supervisor.”

In a Dec. 5, 2019 interview, Trump told Bob Woodward: “I have built a nuclear—a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before…” Woodward wrote that he confirmed this with sources who were surprised Trump had disclosed it. (Rage, p. 185)
Trump continued: “…We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about. We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about bout before. There’s nobody—what we have is incredible.”
Scott Bixby in the DAILY BEAST summarizes it this way: With a rap of his knuckles, President Joe Biden broke one of the most straightforward promises that he made on the presidential campaign trail: to make the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a “pariah” over the state-coordinated assassination of a journalist in 2018.
Many beyond the media took notice, with the fist bump image going “virtual” as some would misspell, ‘viral’ as it really should be.
“God love you—what a silly question,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question about whether he could guarantee that Saudi Arabia wouldn’t target another critic in the future.
“How could I possibly be sure of anything?”
Biden’s decision on Friday to fist-bump with Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince and de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia who U.S. intelligence agencies believe personally ordered the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, outraged critics of the regime, from Khashoggi’s family to his former employer.
BUT alas! The President said he talked about murder..
