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!

Do the courts not see how continuing to declare this man guilty but impose no consequences is begging for vigilante violence? Perhaps once the violence is directed at the courts they'll care.

Trump broke the law and nothing happened? A tale as old as time...

"Nothing we can do, it's the other branch of government's problem"

True as it can be

Barely even friends

Then somebody bends

Unexpectedly

How many fucking instances are there of this convicted felon doing X, but paying NO CONSEQUENCES whatsoever?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

He has the ultimate get out of jail free card

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 43 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Why even bother hearing the case if you're not going to do anything about it regardless of the outcome? To waste everyone's time?

[–] REDACTED 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's on a record he broke law. Can't do anything while he has presidential immunity. He won't have presidential immunity forever.

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

Oh sweer summer child, hes never facing consequences if he didnt in the 4 years he wasnt president after starting a coup.

This, they have shown they are afraid of Luigi and Tyler.

That shows us how they think they will be held accountable

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 25 points 12 hours ago

What the fuck?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 42 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Judge finds Trump violated law" has been the headline for like a decade now.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 13 hours ago

as well as the whole "does nothing about it" part.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 29 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Trust in the system bro, it’s got checks and balances.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Checks and balances!*

*The checks and balances have now been replaced with criminals and pedophiles. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 10 points 13 hours ago

More like cheques and account balances.

“Even assuming that the IGA comports with Article II, Plaintiffs’ inability to perform their duties for 30 days is not irreparable harm. Moreover, if the IGs were reinstated, the President could lawfully remove them after 30 days by providing the required notice and rationale to Congress.

The "irreparable harm" is that the president is being allowed to break the law without consequence. Reinstate them, and if he wants to fire them again, make him do it.

Authoritarians can have a little ignoring of the laws, as a treat
