Fuck off, Missouri. You don't get to interfere with another state's internal judicial procedures and it's outrageous of you to try.

The Missouri AG ought to be ejected for this ridiculously basic gross incompetence.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 66 points 2 months ago

If we did that to every AG that demonstrated that kind of behavior, there wouldn't be any AGs across the entire south.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 99 points 2 months ago

Don't threaten me with a good time!

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I'm right there with you. My AG is fucking felonious impeached but still in office Ken Paxton.

[-] skvlp@lemm.ee 25 points 2 months ago

You’ve convinced me. This should be done.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Hard agree.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I ain't asking for carpetbaggers, just, you know, not criminals.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Well shit, Ken Paxton ain't gonna like that!

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The list of things Ken Paxton likes is power and money, so yea.

Don't forget Utah and Idahore.

Missouri is a garbage state and it should not be allowed to talk while adults are in the room.

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago

Can confirm.

If you said that out loud, would you have said, "lifelong Mizzuran"?

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah, I see you have met my countrymen. I'm in St. Louis, so I escaped the accent that is prevalent in the center of the state.

Er, I mean, yes. Here in Mizurrah, we talk like that. now i have to go warsh my car before I go drive on highway farty-far.

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

Fucking liar. No one washes their car before driving on 44. Now if you said you were going to get a ball peen hammer and put a few cracks in the windshield of your Nissan Altima, some heavy dents in the body, remove the quarter panel on the passenger side, and smash in one of the two headlights...then I would believe you. But you would also need to be driving with a temp tag and merge without looking while going 87 in a 55.

This is were the SC gets to pretend to be fair and balanced, rather than partisan extremists because they also ruled against Trump. When a more serious challenge comes in, watch them make an outrageous ruling in Trumps favour.

Texas AG is mad you ignored their subpoena to Washington.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Still, what do you suppose the punishment will be this time. 1 slap on the wrist, or two?

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 79 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The decision by the justices came in response to Missouri's lawsuit claiming that the case against Trump infringed on the right of voters under the U.S. Constitution to hear from the Republican presidential nominee as he seeks to regain the White House

What the fuck did I just read? The voters’ rights, whatever the fuck they are, have zero bearing on Trump’s rights as an individual. He would have broader rights to talk shit, within legal limits, if he wasn’t a convicted felon. Now that he’s a felon, his rights are curtailed. That’s how it fucking works, idiots.

This is akin to me claiming that I have the right to hear someone lay out a specific, actionable plan to shoot trump in the face, at a predetermined date and time, described in exquisite, premeditated detail, during a fucking CNN interview or whatever, and that person can do so without violation of the law. Because that is, after all, my right. As determined by me.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Lock him up. If you can't do the time don't do the crime. His cultists can hear from him again once he gets out, or if he texts from a cell phone smuggled up his arse.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 51 points 2 months ago

Sounds like the SC doesn't think Trump's going to win either.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Ok, so when is the sentencing? *taps watch *

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

September 18th, as stated in the article.

[-] el_abuelo@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

What article?

[-] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 months ago

Am I misreading the article? This seems like good news that means that sentencing can proceed, but the comments are all negative.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

My negative comment, at least, was about how ridiculous it was that the court even had to rule on this issue in the first place, not that they (somewhat miraculously) got it right.

[-] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago

Ah I understand now, thanks for the explanation

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Where's Flying Squid with Riker?

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

Hey at least they got it right. Silver lining and all that

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Do they have the authority?
