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.
Example:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

"It's not an 11th violation of the gag order! It's the first time he violated the gag order in this way. That automatically restarts the count!" -- Trump's lawyers, probably.
80/20 odds says this judge goes with it so he doesn't actually have to punish Trump.
I'll eat your hat if any of these judges ever grow the balls to lock him up for anything.
Just like QI. Was never warned about this specific type of violation, so this scolding won't even cost $1,000 for Donald.
If you just rtfa you would see that he's also barred from directing a third party to say something.
But, nah, reading and educating yourself takes precious time away from being outraged. Hell, sometimes it makes it even harder to find a reason to be outraged.
funny how you sound outraged but, like, sullen about it, like you're on the side of the losers or something, also you didn't say anything about what he said which is teh lulz. you just came in outraged about the outrage, and played yourself!
Which is funny cuz the first post seems more sad than angry, which was also in your post, yet you focused on the other thing. Weird!
I responded literally directly to what was said by pointing out that article notes that the gag order includes a ban on him directing other people to speak for him.
And I didn't actually address it? How does one even reason themselves into such a ridiculously mindless position?
Your reading comprehension is BAD. Like bad bad. Real bad.
This place is just getting worse and worse. You're right, but lemmy == reddit with the unthinking downvotes.
if downvotes on reddit are the reason you're here, you're not here for the right reason
if you think the behaviour of the users on reddit was the problem, you don't get why the rest of us are here
OK gatekeeper.
