Two of Donald Trump’s key election lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, surrendered Wednesday on charges in the Georgia election subversion case.

    This is mildly impressive. I would not have expected Trump’s toadies to be booked and mugshot because, as of yet, Trump himself hasn’t been handcuffed, perp-walked, or mugshot himself.

    We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

      The sheriff has previously stated that Trump would be treated just like anyone else, and the way the toadies have so far been treated seems to back that up. Fingers crossed!

        I know, and it’s definitely possible they’ve found the one sheriff in America who just doesn’t give a fuck.

        I really, really hope that’s the case. If there’s one thing Donald Trump needs, it’s to feel the clamp of handcuffs, the sting of a perp walk, and the flash bulb of a mugshot.

        But I’ll believe it when I see it.

          My bet is he gives plenty of fucks. He wants that picture of him upholding the law to go down in history. Which I am totally cool with.

            It literally will, wow. You just need to be standing in the path of a camera when Trump gets booked and history students will be learning your name.

            I hope you’re right.

            Every other person who’s indicted or “booked” Trump in this country seems to have done it solely for performative political points, judging by the total lack of actual police procedures they’ve followed thus far.
