Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The notice filed by lawyers for Musk and his America PAC argue that because that PAC is registered as a federal entity, it is not subject to state law.

WTF?
They just use the lamest arguments, it's all about plausible deniability, except plausible somehow went out the window. so now it's just deniability,
and a corrupt judge will allow it!! It's insane how Republicans manage to move the goal posts, let's hope they won't succeed this time.

Corrupt judges really need to be removed, starting with supreme court.

Musk’s argument is ridiculous, but that’s not the point. The point is delay.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The point is that frivolous claims aren't punished. It's a delay tactic yes, but there are rules against wasting the courts time.
It's sickening how republicans keep cheating illegally and abuse the system, undermining democracy, there should be costs for that.

Everyone believes the law should hurry, and reach a conclusion they believe is righteous.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You know what? I think most people would be reasonably happy with "mostly righteous" and not obviously corrupt.

The big reason to move it to federal court is that any federal violation can be pardoned by Trump.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

We've already lost the country to corruption. I don't know what next year brings for Americans, but we should be prepared for the worst.

The party of "state's rights"...

It's always been bullshit. It started because Southern states wanted the "right" to force people living in Northern states to be legally forced by the federal government to treat Black people as slaves and "return" them to the South as stolen property.

It's like some weird kind of reverse sovcit thing.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

It's a Good Thing the man who paid people $1MILLION Illegally won't have a Government Role if Trump wins to Squash any Federal lawsuits! That would be SO VERY Corrupt even REPUBLICANS would see through it!
