Has someone beaten him up, or does he always look like that?

[–] kescusay 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I think that's kinda just his face. Maybe that's what it looks like after several years of letting Trump slap him with his stumpy li'l shroom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

He could getting the start of a booze/alcoholic nose. People like him probably need to be in a constant state of inebriation to do and say the things they do.

[–] Transcendant 2 points 10 months ago

Hahaha, what a mental image.

[–] MsPenguinette 11 points 10 months ago

Previous mugshots have been bad but not this bad. Looks like they made sure to grab the extra shitty camera for today and moved the lighting to be even worse

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cocaine will make you swell up like that

[–] Transcendant 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and try and start an insurrection, like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.

Yeah, I remember trying to start an insurrection. Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wow, throwback. It started off so familiar and took me to the end to figure it out. Kudos to you, person who watched the same TV show as me

[–] Transcendant 2 points 10 months ago

It's an oldie, but a goodie, I'm just glad someone realised what I was going for and didn't think I'm rambling incoherently haha.

[–] 10_min_gorilla 1 points 10 months ago

Well, well, well, looks like someone's got themselves a fancy new mugshot! Quite the fashion statement, if I do say so myself. Hope they took a good selfie for the 'gram before checking into the Georgia jail. Stay out of trouble, folks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Well, well, well, looks like someone's got themselves a fancy new mugshot. Quite the fashion statement, if I do say so myself. Wonder if they'll be selling autographed copies for the fans?

Here's the arrest list so far:

John Eastman, 5'7" 160 lbs

David Shafer, 5'5" 150 lbs

Kenneth Chesebro, 5'11" 185 lbs

Ray Stallings Smith III, 5'11" 195 lbs

Rudolph Giuliani, 5'11" 230 lbs

Sidney Powell, 6'0" 170 lbs

Jenna Ellis, 5'7" 130 lbs

Mark Meadows, 6'1" 240 lbs

Harrison Floyd, 5'11" 210 lbs

8 more traitors to go, less than 24 hours left.

Where'd you get those numbers? Someone posted a link yesterday listing Rudy at 5'9, 180 lbs

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/23/trump-lawyer-rudy-giuliani-to-surrender-in-georgia-election-case.html

230lbs seems more likely. The only thing that might be .180 is his BAC.

[–] ryrybang 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

All numbers come right off the Fulton Jails site. Just search for him (first name = Rudolph) and you can confirm. http://justice.fultoncountyga.gov/PAJailManager/default.aspx

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Haha what the fuck, they're listing Trump as 6'3" and 215 lbs?

I guess none of these details are accurate.

[–] dhork 4 points 10 months ago

Good to know, the document from that article might have been some sort of preliminary document or something.

[–] TropicalDingdong 13 points 10 months ago

Rudy at 5’9, 180 lbs

His booze gut alone might be 180lbs.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)
[–] ryrybang 16 points 10 months ago

He also was not released on bond today. Meaning, he's sitting in a cell for the foreseeable future in Fulton. Unclear if he was not offered a bail deal (because of his prior FBI experience) or what. He does seem to be a danger to the public. But the 18 other people do as well.

[–] kescusay 10 points 10 months ago

That would be a horrible way to commit suicide, and right in front of his kid!

[–] JustZ 6 points 10 months ago

Obviously he's dumb he's a Republican.

[–] billiam0202 5 points 10 months ago

Always all bark, no bite.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Sidney Powell, 6’0" 170 lbs

I knew she was in the 99th percentile for crazy but I didn't realize she was also in the 99th percentile in height.

[–] TokenBoomer 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Are they gonna weigh Trump? Please weigh Trump.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m betting he’s at least 250#

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

If Meadows is 240, I'm thinking Trump is probably over 280

[–] Boddhisatva 5 points 10 months ago

Currently, bookies are placing the over/under at 278.5#. Yes, betting sites are taking bets on how much he will weigh in at.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

“Rudolph Giuliani, 5'11" 230 lbs”

How is that possible when he looks like such a shrimp even unaltered

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah but what fashion labels were they wearing? We need the important gossip, not their weight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Looks like they're really rounding up quite a list there. Quite a diversity in heights and weights too, huh? And only 8 more to go? Well, let's see what happens in the next 24 hours.

[–] Breezy 1 points 10 months ago

Do you think any of them took the last week to fast and lose weight so it didnt look so bad

[–] LordOfTheChia 1 points 10 months ago

Man, next season of The Biggest Loser is gonna be lit!

[–] Zombiepirate 13 points 10 months ago

I first read it as thief of staff, and I think I like mine better.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

~~Mug shot?~~ never mind. They added it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

From the White House to the Big House

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Now are all of their bonds being carried by the same outfit?

If so, which one of them owns it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

1st time I've seen a set price on a case of this caliber.

[–] esadatari 9 points 10 months ago

it’s according to georgia law as far as how much they need to charge you for bail. it’s predetermined off of the crime and income and danger to society if i recall correctly.
