He can’t do that. These are state crimes.

He has no authority to pardon non-federal crimes.

The court system is loosely based on public opinion. Since it’s unreasonable to gather the public’s opinion, a jury is selected to represent “the public”.

In this case, the election essentially allows you to get the actually public’s opinion. You literally cant get closer to true “court of public opinion” that having a nationwide vote on a recently convicted individual candidacy.

No, it’s not mob justice.

Generally, “unfair justice”, like mob justice is assessed by undue, unjust, or extreme punishment. Lack of punishment is not “unfair justice”. The US goes as fair to explicitly ban “double jeopardy” as it does not want “innocent “ people to face undue hardship.

In this case, the possible punishment is 100% within the legal system. At worst, trump receives the same punishment as any other criminal convicted of the same crimes. At best, Trump receives a lighter punishment as the result of the election. There is nothing undue or just about a lighter punishment.

Mob justice is a problem as it doesn’t allow for due process and proper representation. The “convicted” often ends up with non-reversible punishment (like mutilation or death) based on arbitrary “mobs”. Since the only outcome here is a reduced sentence, there isn’t an argument for mob justice.

TLDR: mob justice and similar “undue trials” really only care about wrongful convictions. Wrongful “not guilty” decision are not a “problem”

Well, lucky for you, it’s all camera based now.

And, I think it’s largely a reasonable decision.

This election is the ultimate court of public opinion.

The Gaza posts always make me laugh because they completely ignore that Trump would just glass Gaza.

The only reason Trump hasn’t showed how terrible he’d be on Gaza is because he isn’t president right now.

What about trump? Pretty sure he’s just glass Gaza if he had a chance.

Merge lanes are definitely not the best. I disable then.

As for changing lanes, your mother doesn’t use her blinker. That temporarily disables lane keep.

You’re not kidding.

The only possible way I could see a defense if it were something like “AI CSAM results in a proven reduction of actual CSAM”.

But. The defenses aren’t even that!

They’re literally saying that CSAM is okay. I’m guessing a lot of these same comments would argue that deepfakes are okay as well. Just a completely fucked up perspective.

I don’t know, I love having a big screen in my car. Navigation is bigger, so it’s much easier to glance down and find navigation references.

I still have all of the critical functions, too.
