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!

Not that it would happen, but can you imagine if the case ends up getting dismissed with prejudice before trial over that?
Even more fun, if they rush the federal case forward instead of letting the state go first, he would be shielded prosecution at the state level the second jeopardy attaches (New York state law disallows prosecution of crimes which have already been tried in another jurisdiction). If the feds then botch the case, they would have ruined both chances to prosecute.
Given the level of competence we've seen so far, this seems like a very plausible scenario.
The problem is it's Trumps DOJ. If he gets tried to the federal level, then no matter how much they botch the case Luigi is likely to end up like Epstein or deported to another country dead.
He would be our Kyle Rittenhouse, but way cooler and not a product of FAS.
Except Rittenhouse just fucking showed up to a police riot with a gun hoping to the chance to shoot black people and Luigi actually stood for something.
I’m sure in their mind they’re the good guys, but here in reality those two are not exactly equivalents.
Except Luigi clearly isn't the shooter. He looks nothing like the pictures, and the cops clearly planted the evidence.
Plus we were playing Mario Kart at the time. Where was Rittenhouse at that time though, huh?
My headcanon is that Luigi did plant his own evidence as a distraction in sympathy of the real shooter.
Reason I chose that human shitstain is because he was considered a hero and celebrity among MAGA. Yes, I agree with what you said.
I believe he, a teenager still green behind the ears, would have understood that he fucked up and be willing to repent, but he was bought up by fascist social media pundits pretty much straight away and decided to go along with it 100%.
They contributed to making him the shitstain he is today. Even his parents iirc.
Nope, we get it. He is a good comparison.
a product of FAS.
Fascists Agitprop Shithousery?
With a very incompetent DOJ, it is very much possible.
This timeline would have been worth it.
Maybe not entirely, but a little strawberry on a shit banana split
A fantastic strawberry, too
Luigi Mangione for congress, since they've set the asinine precedent that running for office gets you out of consequences for crimes
With any rate, Luigi will walk free and it'll be the fault of these idiots who cannot allow their egos and pride to not get in the way of these things.
And I love to see it.
Also, they have to prove him guilty. This could go to trial and the evidence may still be insignificant to prosecute him. It all comes down to if what we've been told is true or not.
That's largely going to be dependent on a couple things;
Luigi's Attorney now has to hammer on this hard, hard enough to stick it through one ear hole and out the other through the thick skulls of the prosecutors. There are strong pieces of evidence now that say that Luigi's 5th Amendment rights has been violated and that people from the DOJ have overstepped themselves.
The other thing is whether anything is going to stick. Even if Luigi walks or is given lesser sentencing or whatever. Trump's crazy ass or the crazy ass DOJ of his is still going to want to try and kill Luigi anyways by making him go through another trial by re-writing the rules.
I don't know what else has been going on or what all is rumor, but if it sticks that his backpack being searched that had his manifesto and other incriminating things in it ends up being deemed an illegal search and becomes inadmissible, they may have very little evidence to go off of for prosecution.
Has there been any rulings on some of the evidence yet? I thought there was a whole mess of chain of custody or other type problems with a lot of it.
