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!

Hannigan and Bondi will both get disbarred for this shit. Taking bets.

The problem we have on a larger scale is that Hannigan and Bondi should be disbarred, might be disbarred, but would they actually be removed from their positions? The current leadership just doesn't care about the law, so why would they care about some legal panel trying to enforce the legal system in the first place?

You have to love that Trump is ACTUALLY doing what he accused the Biden administration of doing all along...

Accusation = Confession as usual.

On a related note - I kept thinking, reading through that - how can something from CNN be that poorly written? It's not as if it's a jetliner or a bridge or a skyscraper - it's an article and an accompanying set of news briefs that a high school English student could've knocked out in an hour, and the student would've done a better job.

How many employees does CNN have? And how is it that none of them could manage to make sure that that didn't go out until it was competently written?

One would think that CNN could at least afford a proofreader.

It seems like someone tried to throw together a 3 point bulleted list, forgot halfway through, and got back to it in point three.. Then they are trying to add to the bullet points with updates which aren't bullets. Overall it's a monkey shit splatter of information. Proof reading could not have happened there. (Much like my comments lol)

I thought you must be overstating it or that it was just straight up AI but - no, it reads like really crappy writing.

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And it's not as if it was written by some schlub in a trailer park or something - the division of CNN responsible for that undoubtedly has a budget in at least seven figures and dozens of employees who are by definition professionals.

And that's the best they could do? How is that even possible?

Incompetence seems to be catching.

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Her 3 cases were dismissed.

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

2 were the exact same case so one was void already.
