    I laugh a bit every time I think of some teabagger dumbass falling for donnie’s “never surrender” nonsense when it’s an actual picture of him surrendering.

      I wouldn’t call it surrendered until he’s actually in jail with no bond. At this point he could still very well find a way out of the country if he’s even convicted.

      And judging by the shit show the courts have allowed thus far, I’m sadly not holding my breath.

        I mean, point taken. He’s not properly locked up like he should be. I’m just saying the mugshot is taken during his literal surrender - the fourth time he did this year, by the way. But he tells his idiot base “never surrender” and sells them pics…of actual evidence of his surrender. It’s beyond idiotic.

        I hope everyone that bought such a t-shirt, mug, etc…is reminded that their little memorabilia is a replica of his surrender.

        Unfortunately I think it’s the government flirting around a possibility they know is very real because we saw it once -

        You lock up Trump and the justice department will come under siege immediately by his voters, and you either let them win and they win, or you use violence against the violence against the government and they win (because self defense is tyranny to them.)

          I mean the govt has been known to use the military against civilian protests.

          Don’t remember which president it was but he ordered the army* to open fire on civilians protesting on the white house lawn. Also police bombing buildings. It’s funny when fellow Americans act like we don’t live in a country where the govt will actively kill you if you go against their wishes enough.

          *I don’t remember if it was the army or the national guard
