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.

- 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.

Lolololol.
I wonder how many people are doing time right now who should be free on this basis.
Oooh, the redhats aren't gonna like this one.
This is something his dad should be doing
Literally Big Dick energy.
In that Trump is a big dick. It works on multiple levels!
Hahahaha.
I hope this is just the first salvo the Biden's launch and start using all the ridiculous policies the GOP is setting against them.
I am middle of the road but registered democrat. I vote for who I think will do the best job in local and national elections.
I am partially paralyzed and it takes me 1/2 a day to vote. I will always vote because its all we have imo.
IMO The Electoral college stole the election from Hillary but you don't see her running around like Kari Lake who is acting this way on purpose so if Trump wins, she will get appointed to a good job in his cabinet.
Back to Hillary, She won the popular vote by millions and still lost!
This is what the electoral college did
She won the popular vote just short of 3 Million!
Back then we had **249,372,406 people over the age of 18. About 80% of them were eligible to vote
That is roughly 200k people. 199,497,924. The point is the amount of popular votes should have been a solid win. Not a landslide but solid.
This makes me very sketched out along with all these new voting districts and restrictions on absentee ballots,
and some states banning giving people in line a bottle of water or food! Google line warming!
What if Biden wins by 2 million? Is that a solid win for Trump???
**Child and Adult Populations 2016
Age 18 and over
United States 249,372,462
Yes, democrats have to win by a landslide in order to squeak out a victory. Meanwhile, republicans can lose over and over and over and still rise to power. No republican has ever entered the presidency by winning the popular vote in my entire lifetime.
Culturally speaking we already won, politically speaking, the Right won't take a fucking hint and they don't have to because to Democrats unrigging the game would be as wrong as rigging it in the first place.
I'm not sure how old you are, but George Bush won the popular vote in 2004. That was the last time a Republican won the popular vote.
He did not enter the presidency with that election.
Good point, I misread your original comment.
That is roughly 200k people. 199,497,924.
I think you may have meant 200M, or you have 3 extra numbers and a comma that don't belong lol.
He meant a period instead of the 2nd comma. 0.924 extra people voted for Hillary
Wasn't that ruling only for POTUS? Like if Biden drone striked a caravan of terrorists and it took out a US civilian on accident he's not facing murder charges.
The Supreme Court has been upending a lot recently, it's giving me whiplash just keeping up with every decision. As others have pointed out, this is because of how the appointment of the special council was made, which is how Trump's stolen classified documents case was thrown out in court this week. It seems that in the judicial system bending over backwards for Trump, they failed to consider 25 years of precedence and the ramifications to people other than Trump.
Sweet, honest question == downvotes. Classic Lemmy
Is it though?
Judge Cannon in the classified documents case just threw out the case saying that the DOJ can't appoint special counsel and so Trump shouldn't have been indicted by Jack Smith. Hunter was indicated by a special counsel and so he's trying to say that he shouldn't have been indicted either.
Now that Trump ruling. The other Trump ruling.
Where Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Mar-a-Lago documents case because the Special Prosecutor was “unlawfully appointed”.
Not the newest one, it was dismissed on the basis of how the special counsel was appointed.
As he should.
“No, not like that!” 😆
"Your honor, I'd like to cite 'What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.' for my case."
Except any court would reject that outright because you haven't done it in Latin
Quid pro.... goosius maximus
But, the good of the scorpion is not the good of the frog, yes?
