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!

That is textbook narcissism. He thinks he can insult anyone and everyone but it's rude for them to withhold the slobberific adulation he's accustomed to from brain dead death cultists

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 80 points 1 year ago

I didn’t smile at the guy tried for DUI when I was on his jury. Guess I never knew I was a prejudiced asshole all this time. I thought I voted guilty because I’d fairly evaluated the case, but I guess not.

Maybe if he stayed awake longer he might have noticed a smile.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Yea they probably were internally giggling when they saw the old man nod off.

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Oh I bet they smiled at one point

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You don’t smile at a pile of shit, especially if that pile of shit is also a felonious rapist.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

And also smells like unchanged diaper shit

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

"You should smile more".

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

They're not there to be your friends, dipshit.

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 21 points 1 year ago

Maybe because his cult isn't as big as he thinks it is. Imagine being surrounded by yes men your entire life and then finding out the majority of people think you're a steaming pile of convicted criminal shit.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 1 year ago

Complaining about the jury: violation of the standing gag order. Re-defaming Ms. Carroll. Has yet to be sentenced for 34 felony convictions.

FAFO?

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I understand the jurors.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago

I'm frowning at him right now.

Does that put me on his enemies list?

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Man who has never been the most popular person upset that he still isn't popular

Man I'm glad I outgrew high school

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Did they frown? I'm pretty sure I would have frowned.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Oh, what meanies they were to poor little Donnie. Did they hurt your fee-fees, Donnie-kins? I'm sorry they didn't want to play with you and said all those mean things like "Guilty". But you won't ever have to see them again, and the next time you see the Judge he may send you on a special trip to the island with all those big buildings on it with no windows.

Now come here, little guy. That diaper smells like it needs a change!

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's a turd in a suit. Why would anyone smile?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And from what anyone who's ever had to sit near him, that is a literal description.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Is this The Onion? No? Oh, man!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And yet I complain not a single juror stabbed him in the face. We are not the same.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Also, "unfair" = not Republican

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

When I heard that the defense was hoping for a hung jury because one of the panel was smiling at Donnie I figured it was a classic New York City hustle.

"Yeah, sure buddy! I'm right here with youze. Go ahead and punch that cop, I got ya back!"

This is news? Come on. Can we do better than the rest of trashy click bait social media here?
