The former president and forever joke is expected in Fulton County, GA today to be booked and processed for his leading role in the 2020 election debacle. His mugshot, whenever it drops, will immediately go down as the funniest incarceration-adjacent image in history.
Thus far, the Trumpster has avoided the humiliation of getting a mugshot for his litany of crimes. His three prior indictments (lol) didn’t involve a mug shot: Both the Manhattan district attorney and the Justice Department claimed that it wasn’t entirely necessary to photograph the most famous clown on the planet. But today he will pose in front of a gray background for the most infamous American mug shot ever.
But because he’s Donald Trump, he won’t get the treatment of a usual suspect when he surrenders at the Fulton County jail today. Mind you this is a facility currently under investigation by the Justice Department for its violent and unsanitary conditions. Truly the funniest possible outcome is the Donald getting knifed in the holding cell, but apparently it’s poor taste to wish that kinda thing on someone these days.

Down Goes Prigozhin: Russian mercenary chief/hot dog salesman extraordinaire Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed as a passenger on a private jet that crashed yesterday evening north of Moscow with no survivors. The military leader was thrust into the spotlight recently for his alleged and ill-fated attempt to intimidate Vlad Putin with the Wagner Group. Now his plane was blasted out of the sky and his body is in a million unrecoverable pieces…pretty suspicious if you ask me
California Shooting: A biker bar in Southern California is the most recent setting for a mass shooting, after three people were killed and and several others wounded last night. The gunman was a retired law enforcement officer (of course) who was eventually fatally shot by deputies, which I imagine felt like like putting down a precious pet for them
No More Sushi: China has decided to ban seafood from Japan after Japanese officials began releasing the wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant. The doomed nuclear power plant began releasing its first batch of treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean, a move condemned by local fishermen for the impact it’ll have on their ability to earn a living
