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!

The finacial courts do ocassionally do really funny things. Like forcing Musk to buy Twitter and now making Rudy sue Trump

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It was funny seeing him Find Out after Fucking Around with them, but it's considerably less funny now that it's Truth Social 2.0

Yeah it was looking like Twitter was going to collapse for a few months... But now it's obviously not going to.

Having the most money in the world helps with even the worst businesses, unfortunately.

It kills me because so many of my peers devote so much time, love, and energy into community-based businesses that struggle to stay afloat. Meanwhile these fuckers stay enriched while running absolutely despicable businesses, only because they have so much seed money to start with.

They should simply have had their parents run an emerald mine in an apartheid country.

I keep telling my brother this but he won't listen

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And then those chucklefucks claim the rest of us are beholden to a meritocracy when they just called on mommy and daddy to give them welfare.

"Money talks. Everything else can fuck off"

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

"it's just business" they say

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world -5 points 8 months ago

Fuck Around and Find Out

Please please please can we leave this phrase back in Reddit

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I bet the reason Gulliani doesn't want to sue Trump isn't loyalty. It's because he knows, deep down, that any attack on Trump is going to be seen by the MAGA hats as a threat. Nuance isn't their specialty.

Gulliani knows he's going to get death threats if his creditors sue Trump.

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nah. I don’t want anyone to get death threats.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Something something greater good

"The greater good? I am your WIFE. I'm the greatest "good" that you are ever gonna get!"

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah I don't want it to be threats either.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Better him than anyone else.
