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!

Well yeah because she’s threatening to talk and they can’t kill her because they already killed Jeff. Two is a pattern.

I mean... Do you really think they care? The optics are dogshit for anyone with a brain but they keep making it worse anyway. I have zero doubts that they care about making a pattern or people noticing a pattern. They haven't cared one iota for how stupidly and nakedly transparent anything else they have done is.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 days ago

They aren’t pandering to people with a brain.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I ont think they care about patterns. My guess is that she will get pardoned - nothing she hands over is credible and she disappears when she is overseas somewhere.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They can’t get away with killing her in prison like the did Jeff. By get away with I mean everyone will know 100%, not that anyone would be punished for it.

It's vranyo come to the US

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, they’ll pardon her first. Way too expensive to kill someone in prison who is being watched much more intently

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I doubt she can go very far. Other countries will surely want to prosecute her for crimes on their land. That or she will accidentally fall from a balcony.

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Far more windows or staircases outside of prison

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 days ago

And she definitely has enemies in every corner of the globe now that they know she will talk to save her skin

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What in the serious fuck!? They are letting the madam of child prostitutes go free... She should be locked up for life for the amount of children she betrayed.

Even mentioning a pardon or an appeal is the most ridiculous conflict of interest I have ever seen. Fuck Trump and his supporters!

[–] moobythegoldensock 3 points 3 days ago

If she makes a plea deal in exchange for names she might name him. If he pardons her she won’t.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Pedos pardoning pedos.

The conservative utopia.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

I mean, yeah, duh - who doesn't know they're just negotiating the list of names she'll drop? It'll likely be Trump's equivalent to Saddam Hussein's 1979 Ba'ath Party Purge

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 days ago

Anyone who doesn’t expect this is a fool.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Surprise is definitely not what was on my mind…

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he pardons people on the list after he extorts them. Any sketchy way to make a buck or get favors, that guy will do it.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

And he will be forever as .. The Pederast In Chief

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I think the supreme court will release her. She's asking them to toss the conviction based on the previous plea deal not long after meeting with a known "troubleshooter".
