Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Looks like a good reason to reject the bond in its entirety. It's obviously a bad faith attempt to get around the rules.
Yeah, I’m not sure how this is bad news for anyone but Trump.
It's bad news for everyone because he's still getting away with it. Justice delayed is justice denied. James should be two weeks into the process of seizing his assets.
The court rejected the bond. How did he get away with it?
Have his assets been seized? Is he in prison? Is he not the GOP frontrunner and leading Biden in electoral college polling?
In the time between comments, he just had a third attempt to delay his criminal trial: Link
Things may not move as fast as you want, but they’re moving.
Edit: when he posted that BS bond, James immediately filed to oppose it, requiring Trump to explain/back it up, or it would be rejected and she can start seizing assets. Trump’s legal team has 10 days to legitimize the bond, or they’re fucked. (Spoilers: they can’t)
There is procedure. Trump can try to delay, but now he’s reached the end of the line here, too.
That's also good news, but he's still not in prison, he's still the frontrunner to be President again, and he still has his empire.
His ability to manipulate and stall the legal system, the same system that grinds poor people up and turns them into slaves and recidivists, is horrifying.
His criminal trial is proceeding April 15th. He hasn’t been able to delay that.
He has been able to delay it, he just wasn't successful in his latest attempt to delay the trial. He will try again. The trial is for crimes he committed before he was elected President more than 8 years ago, crimes for which his conspirator, Michael Cohen, has already been convicted and served his full sentence.
It's good that the trial is about to start, in the same way that it's good when a serial killer stops stabbing their latest victim.
This is definitely a moment to show some chill my dude.
Fuck chill. Chill is how we end up electing fascists. They will apply constant, unyielding pressure to achieve political dominance, and it requires equal devotion and vigilance to prevent it.
And yelling at people on Lemmy will totally fix it. This has nothing to do with politics, this is all about your emotional disregulation.
Cardinal sin #192737: Disgnosing other lemmings' mental health because their comments annoyed you
I don't care about your comment. Your attitude is unfortunate.
What a strange reply, but really I should've expected this. You're not above us, buddy, you're one of us. Have some fun down in the pit.
yeah gonna go ahead and block your toxicity
Might as well reciprocate. I hope you find people who use this platform like you do, so that you may have a good time talking to them instead of us.
Maybe thats what that hitch was
