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!

Is there more than ONE picture of this monster trump appointee?

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago* (last edited 41 minutes ago)

It's probably her official portrait thay isnin the public record. Other stuff could risk invasion of privacy claims or some sort of IP stuff.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Wasn’t the government’s position basically “well you didn’t give Trump the documents he stole!”?

[–] SpankyDoodle@eviltoast.org 4 points 10 hours ago

At this point, fuck em. Just release it.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

I would like to congratulate Aileen Cannon for her future career as a member of the Supreme Court. 🫲🍊🫱

[–] digitalFatteh@lemmy.ca 129 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Cannon, who in 2024 dismissed the case after concluding that Smith was unlawfully appointed, said the release of the report would present a “manifest injustice” to Trump and his two co-defendants.

Corruption at its core. No conflicts of interest to see here.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

"Manifest Injustice" sounds like a spell all the Republican magic users cast after every long rest.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

After a very long SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 19 hours ago

Can this move be appealed?

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 97 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I am so sick of seeing her fucking name... She's not a judge she's been Trump's personal defense lawyer the entire time...

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Just wait until he puts her on the Supreme Court after Alito retires.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 68 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Do it anyway. Consequences for violating court orders don't exist anymore.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago

Only if you got the (R)

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

iT’s BiDeNz FauLt!1!!

Jenosideeeeezzzzz!!

heil putin

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

Hot favourite for the next SCOTUS seat for sure, though perhaps Thomas would be disappointed in losing the crown of the most corrupt SCOTUS judge.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

I look forward to when Cannon is shot out of a Cannon.

[–] 2hundredpancakes@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 21 hours ago

No soul behind those eyes. Jfc

[–] doug@lemmy.today 13 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Has anyone made a site where it’s two pictures and you have to guess which picture is a Trump appointee, or maybe which one is super right wing? ‘Cause like… —and no, I’m not talking about phrenology or whatever racist science rabbit hole I might be going parallel to— it just feels like the worst ones have the deadest eyes or the most vain of portraits.

I know this isn’t a good example in the headline, but I’ve never seen her before and I could just tell I wouldn’t like her.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago

A disproportionate number of them are likely true psychopaths, without functional empathy or conscience. That is certainly my theory about the dead eyes.

[–] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

It's the eyes. She's got the crazy Kenneth Copeland eyes. Amy Coney Barrett does too.

[–] Redacted@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago

Theres a 'dle game where you are given the picture of a us politician and you guess if theyre blue or red

[–] dwalin@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Someone should just leak an ip on the dark web and say that there is a weak password. And let nature run its course

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

She's a loose cannon but a horrible officer of the law.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

You’re off YOUR case, Chief!

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

I see what u did there

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

I'm sure she has his swimmers stuck between her teeth.

[–] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 4 points 20 hours ago

There is no justice in the regimes just-us department.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago

ffs lady his pp is too short to pleasure your musty cobwebbed troll hole, you can stop worshipping his ken doll coin purse with BBs that never descended now

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

In the future I hope for, the only reason the judicial reform bill wouldn't have her name on it is because Clarence Thomas exists.
