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!

And cameras aren't allowed in federal trials. That's the real crime here.

Keep him out of the media. No cameras! No free air time! Let him rot in prison, no fanfare, no attention, just solitude. I don’t wanna see his face-anus spewing anymore lies. No cameras in the courthouse! Just show me his perp walk to prison. That’s all I need.

"We’ll have fun on the stand with all of these people that say the Presidential Election wasn’t Rigged and Stollen [sic],” Trump posted, adding an all-caps claim it’ll be “THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY!!!”

When we were told as youngsters that "any one of you could be the president of the United States!", I never imagined it could be interpreted as a warning rather than something meant to motivate young minds. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Lmao “Stollen”. I think I’ve eaten some Stollen while in Germany.

Dude, how was this our guy for four years? How did he slip through two impeachments? He’s a walking conundrum, or I guess I spelled that wrong, too. He’s a walking covfefe

Trump would own that trial

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because a judge would tolerate him bloviating and perjuring himself?

[–] Umbra@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, Trump is more powerful than some puny judge

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not in a courtroom he isn't.

[–] Umbra@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

Courtroom isn't some self contained space. Everyone is aware of the consequences their actions will have outside of it.

Trump isn't in charge of anything at this point. He has no power, especially in a courtroom. He'll never willingly go on the stand because he knows that. Right now he's just doing the same shit he always does.

He can single handedly start a civil war. And before Jan 6 comments, that was him saying 'go peacefully protest'
