Dude spent 50k on teeth and didn't even smile in his Presidential potrait nor his mugshot



What’s so hard about this? You get the picture and you post it on the website. If you have the text all ready to go, you update the prisoner number and it’s trivial to hit the upload button.


Well one interesting complication detailed in the thread was:

> due to convoluted copyright reasons that I don't understand (i'm a gimmick account not a lawyer sorry), a low resolution version of the pic eventually was uploaded to Wikipedia as "a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image" that "may qualify as non-free use"


I will repost it with Nitter, because Twitter, to some users doesn't show the replies (including myself now...). I understand what you felt, because if you see only the first post, it doesn't make anysense.


Yes, that’s all I saw, the first post.
