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!

YOU. FUCKING. LOST. YOU. FUCKING. LOSER!

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 8 hours ago

I've heard they used something call al-gebra to count the votes. More like Al-Jazeera! They should all be tried for terrorism!

I surmise that Georgia 2020 was rigged for Thwump to win, but he lost cause he's a dumb loser.

That's why he's getting biblical looking for election fraud cause he was too dumb to cheat right.

[–] obvs@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago

Exactly.

I am sure that he is ACTUALLY sure that Biden cheated, specifically because I am sure that TRUMP cheated and that in his mind, his reasoning is "If I cheated and I still lost, there's no way the other guy didn't cheat."

the DOJ is saying it simply wants to “go out, knock on doors, potentially interview these ballot workers and poll workers.”

The govt will never send people to your home to knock on your door for a fun chat. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. So say nothing. You have nothing to gain by talking to them.

If you are or know one of these workers, don't open the door, demand to see a warrant. If they don't have one, tell them to go away and ignore then. Actually that applies to everyone, but especially these workers.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Don't talk to the police. The only person that will help you is your lawyer.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They will probably just break in anyway, and knowing how bad they are at investigating, they will probably break into homes where the workers don't even live anymore.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They may do that but if they do, nothing they find will be admissible in court. If you let them in, that doesn't apply.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

True, but that's assuming the proper use of the justice system is the intent. No. The goal here is obviously to promote fear for political gain (literally the definition of terrorism). They want to ensure these poll workers, and others like them, know the Trump administration will come after them. Only the ones who support the regime are safe.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Listen, I get it, our criminal justice system is anything but just. But these are things you can do that will probably protect you. So maybe stop arguing against it.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 hours ago

I don't see where I argued against it. It's still the smart thing to do, but it's not going to prevent their goal. They couldn't care less about getting an actual conviction. Yeah, make sure their case fails to protect yourself, but their goal is only to make sure you suffer, and that doesn't require a conviction.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Put a homemade claymore under your porch with a remote detonator... To protect against bears. Just definitely make sure you don't get confused and hit the button on accident when a bunch of armed masked strangers are at your door...

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 38 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

Fucking Trump just won't accept that he lost in 2020.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

He knows he lost. He's just trying to replace the truth with a lie. That's why Jack Smith said he had a 100% case against him and then he wasn't allowed to pursue it. Trump has admitted to multiple people multiple times in private and in small groups that he knows he lost. That means that he was lying and inciting violence in a mob because of a lie which is incredibly illegal.

There's going to be a bloodbath after the midterms. The question is whether it'll be a good one or a bad one

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You still think there are going to be midterms?

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

I do. It's after the midterms that I have no clue about.

What happens when Congress refuses to accept a change in leadership? What happens when Trump says "no, it was rigged. It doesn't count. Only the Republicans who won count." Who forces Johnson to step down?

I think we will carry out the midterms and either the Republicans win or the Republicans "won."

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

I hope we make it so obvious and overwhelming in votes that any attempt to change election results, or deny them, will be so overtly obvious that even deep red places turn blue.

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

he won’t accept that his attempt to cheat didn’t work

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

That would be the Narcissistic Personality Disorder kicking in. His ego can't accept failure.

[–] savvie@lemmy.zip 4 points 21 hours ago

fake justice via current federal GOP administration

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Something something "lawfare".

Weird how I don't hear all those radical right wing snowflakes bitching about "lawfare" saying shit about any of this stuff.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 14 hours ago

When trump wins: nope. Not vote rigging

When trump loses: OH MY GOD THERES SO MUCH VOTE RIGGING.

[–] corbindallas@fedinsfw.app 4 points 21 hours ago

CIA was active in that, bitch whore tulsi gabbard was unconstitutionally onsight.
