So this one is clearly real.
No doubt he thinks he looks terrifying and that all will bow before him - his perpetual strongman dictator fantasy.
In fact he looks terrified, and trying desperately not to. Terrified and consumed with infant rage that the fate that would befall anyone else in his place is actually befalling him.
Now another alleged mugshot is circulating, which some people are saying is real, and others are saying is another fake.
It does at least match the others released so far, so it might be real this time. The court would have had to make special arrangements to get it released early - which they might have.
BTW, a fake #Trump mugshot is circulating. Apparently the real one won't be released until after 4:00 p.m. tomorrow.
He even reported 240 pounds in Manhattan, earlier this year. Good lord.
Gee, #Trump lied again.
They're letting the defendants self-report height and weight.
Apparently he's still growing and is more svelte than ever.
The Rs really aren't bothering to hide their true alignment anymore.
Ah, the legal geniuses representing #Trump and his co-conspirators.
It never seems to occur to them that the prosecutors are ready for their antics.
One question yesterday was who else died on Prigozhin's plane.
So far, the answer appears to be "a bunch of thugs" (with the *possible* exception of the flight crew).
Wagner co-founder and neo-Nazi Utkin was on board, as was Wagner's chief financier. The rest of the passengers seem to have been Prigozhin's Wagner bodyguard.
The only people whose Wagner status isn't clear seem to be the 3 flight crew. They may or may not have been loyalists.
Which means the biggest winner is Biden. Not that the media would ever frame it that way.
So under fire for having protected the violent bigot who just murdered a store owner for displaying a pride flag, Elon has moved to the next logical step and is claiming he's the victim of a Soros conspiracy.
The conspiracy is, he says, to make twitter look like a cesspool of hate when it's actually better than ever.
He proves this by promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. Because an owner like that would never allow hate speech, right?
Aw, nerts. I was hoping we'd get a real height and weight on #Trump. Oh well.
Well, the Russian government has officially declared Prigozhin a victim of the "crash."
I would think we can take it as read that he was aboard... unless they actually killed him somewhere else and the plane is a cover-story (unlikely, but not impossible).
And amidst the Prigozhin news, a periodic reminder that Rudy has in fact completely lost his mind - whether from mental illness or alcoholism or some combination thereof.
Oh dear. Russian security forces fear Prigozhin might have a following...
