    Why are some people so happy in their mug shot? Are they planning to use it for political clout?

        Yup. They don’t give a flying fuck about honesty or integrity. That’s been proven time and time again.

      Absolutely. This is 100% a political prosecution of political opponents of the those in power. As such, it will be a rallying point for those who oppose this abuse of power.
