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!

If the sheriff is committing perjury, he should be recalled.

Just another Republican trying to steal an election he would never win fairly.

He should be recalled while sitting in a jail cell.

Worst part is he's running for governor... California has a jungle primary so the two highest vote getters move on. Based on current polls with all the Dems he could be 1 of 2 republicans running for office come the fall 😭

Fucking genius used AI in court. How stupid can people be?

Covering Citizens are doing this all the time and it’s hilarious when they get blown out by the Judge

These are the dumbest people in any community, they want order followers, not critical thinkers. Why people place these morons up on pedestals is beyond me.

This will not deter them from aggressively using ai to punish anyone ai points a finger at. Even though it's been the cause of multiple kidnappings by feelings enforcement in the short period they have had it.

They don't understand the limitations of the technology, so how can they possibly know when it's wrong (Hallucinating).

Even Lawyers have been caught using it in court, ai cited multiple case law that didn't exist, and was easily verifiable. There are stupid people in every profession i guess.

I have found republicans seem to be really impressed by AI…

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Of course, it lies confidently and tells them things they want to hear which are two of the most important things Republicans look for in their leaders.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

This is barely a drop in the ocean of human stupidity.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 17 points 17 hours ago

So, the entire legal team should be disbarred, then? Yeah?

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

He’s using public office to create a future political campaign.

[–] warbosstodd@piefed.social 4 points 5 hours ago

Not even future. It’s current.

[–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 4 points 16 hours ago

We should just cancel the elections because everyone knows we'll vote for Trump anyways.
