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!

This surely can only go well. The article doesn't state much about the protestors angle at all. It just sounds like an authoritarian play using a draconian interpretation of long-standing laws to fuck with people you don't like. Has nothing to do with actual racketeering or organized criminal activity, just some right-wing thought experiment trying to turn wording against their enemies. Never works in court though, so I don't get why they keep trying this noise.

It's to undermine the RICO case against Trump

And the governor praised the charges. That mother fucker needs to be removed from office. Republicans and conservatives need to be all removed from society.

Would that be the same Georgia governor who, as Georgia Secretary of State, oversaw his own election as governor, whose win against Stacey Abrams was (and will ALWAYS be) suspicious as hell, and who is even now doing everything in his power to make it harder for the people of Georgia to vote, especially people of color? That governor?

"Needs to be removed from office" is a great start. But if actual justice were applied under the law, that shithead would have a lot more to fear than a simple removal and retirement into mild disgrace.
