Pure awesome.

Not a fan of the source song particularly, but I am hella impressed by the bit at 0:38. Might be time to retire "TFG" and memorize this instead. Though typing it would be rough.

I'm not a fan of show tunes, in general, so much of what people love about his songs is beyond me. "You're so indicted" was a'ight, though.

This one indulges Randy's love of deep-cut 60s/70s show tunes.

Who smiles during a mugshot??

Clearly Poison Ivy and King Tut.

(And probably the Joker, if he ever gets captured)

King Tut? Apparently I am not up-to-speed on my Batman villains. Also don't know who #7 is.

King Tut is from the campy 60s show. I think the 7th is maybe Dracula?

I think #7 is Ra's Al Ghul. It threw me for a bit but ultimately the facial hair gave it away.

Bill Gates.

But he was stoned.

Trump’s mugshot is up… it’s glorious.

He is rocking a full green goblin.

I find it hilarious/ironic that his quotes are...
"Election Interference" When that's what he's being charged for.
And
"Never Surrender!" In his mugshot...which was taken...after he surrendered himself...

Also, I think that $20,000 or even the full $200,000 for bail for him is ridiculous and a waste of time, especially if that was the max they could charge.
Neither of those is really an incentive for him to stick around. I'd say him trying to run for President again is more of an incentive for him to stay.

Maybe, but the alternative would be to give him special treatment because he is rich/'important.' I like seeing him treated like everyone else would be.

He wasn't. He was allowed to pre-register (hence his"weigh in" of 6'3", 215lbs - the same stats as Lamar Jackson). His mugshot is clearly posed. Everybody else doesn't get that sort of consideration. And he was accompanied by Secret Service throughout.

Still, re: bail, he's not a flight risk at this point so no reason to deviate from the standard.

"This is my pardon. There are many like it, but this one's mine. My pardon is my best friend. It is my life. Without me, my pardon is useless. Without my pardon, I am useless."

Totally this. I was thinking the same thing that looking up crazy contrasted with claiming to be six three. Why are you cocked down and looking up in a photo?

Perfect. Now if someone makes him Palpatine.

Here is a pic of trump and his co conspirators.

Wait, is one of his co-conspirators/racketeers a priest???

Trump’s has different lighting, no shadow behind him, and a smaller shield/watermark. He's not the only one with those things be he's the only one with all three.

Pretty sure he was allowed to touch up his photo, ior maybe even provide his own.

Genius

I don't get it. What's the genius part?

(no one claimed I'm a genius).

What isn't obvious is where the link goes.

Ah. Ty.

Mitch McConnell has just had another [whatever this is] happen.

https://twitter.com/HannahPThomas/statu ... 21474?s=20

He also seems noticeably thinner than he was just a few months ago. He seems to be in very poor health.

Too much use of force lightning to whip votes does that to you.

What the heck would cause 'that'? ...Ive never seen that before...the pausing.

Whatever it is, it's the second occurrence in a month (that we know about).

Thoughts and prayers.

I know this is said with a thick layer of sarcasm, but fuck thoughts and prayers. It is beyond belief that we allow these geriatric incompetents to govern us. Same obviously goes for Feinstein and probably a dozen or more of these people. They are not "past their prime." They are old as dirt and are not capable of carrying out their duties in office at this point in their lives. If they don't have the good sense to step away, they should be forced out.

Seriously. WTF are we doing?

Offering empty words. It's the least awful thing I can say at this point.

But yes. America is absolutely a goddamn gerontocracy and we're collectively diminished for it. This isn't meant to sound ageist, but JFC already.
