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!

Has this guy ever won a case?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 73 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When his judges are presiding, yes.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

When his judges are presiding, sometimes.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 41 points 2 months ago

I heard he got a case of syphilis

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He got sick of winning so he stopped

He’s got the concept of winning

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago

Only the ones where he could judge shop like the classified documents.

I hope that bitch gets whats coming to her (career..not mortality)

[–] AirDevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 4 points 2 months ago

OHMYFUCKINGOD!!! I love this. Literally popped in my head when I read the title.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

haha, I've never seen that, thanks for sharing, it's awesome.

This is one of the best things I never knew I wanted that I’ve come across in a while.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least he'll always have Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let's see him make "jailbait" his campaign theme song.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That would be very fitting.

Grant had sued Trump in 2020, over a campaign tweet — a crudely-drawn, 55-second animation that showed then-presidential candidate Joe Biden feebly puttering along a railroad track in a push cart while a high-speed "Trump-Pence" train zoomed past.

About 40 seconds of "Electric Avenue" plays as part of the soundtrack.

How could you think you'd get away with this?

The video was viewed more than 13.7 million times, was liked more than 350,000 times, and was retweeted more than 139,000 times, the judge wrote.

Holy shit. You're definitely not getting away with this.

His strategy has been to outrun his legal issues until they fail or he dies. I really hope he sees the inside of a cell before he dies, but I'd also take him choking on lunch and dying right now. Prefer prison, though.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

He'll never see the inside of a cell. He's an ex president. He might be confined to his home, but I doubt even that.

This world sucks.
