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!

Rudy Giuliani screwed up his professional license in 2021. This is the year of his financial ruin. Next year could end with him in prison.

Rudy Giuliani, the disgraced politician once known as “America’s Mayor” and now known as a punchline, is about to face the most disastrous court ruling of his life—and it will only get worse from there.

Giuliani is poised to get hit with a multimillion dollar ruling against him in D.C. over his baseless accusations of election fraud against two poll workers. After that civil trial concludes, he’ll turn around and begin preparing for a criminal trial in Atlanta, where he’s facing many of the same racketeering charges he once wielded as a federal prosecutor against mobsters in New York. And throughout it all, Giuliani has a long list of creditors, from former associates to contractors, who are also hounding him for money.

Honestly, I'd rather hear about it when it actually happens. I'm getting tired of all this teaser justice headline crap.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

I agree, but then there are the cases that go under the public radar and without scrutiny something shady invariably swings the decision towards evil. Public attention may not do much of anything, but I'd rather err on the side of too much vs too little just in case

I guess the good news for him is he won't be able to pay millions of dollars from a jail cell. :)

I wonder if they’d be allowed to do an OF page.

You know. To earn some cash for sardines and stuff.

This is what an alliance with Trump does to a person.

Weird how they always end up worse off than him.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not weird at all. They’re just too fucking stupid to realize it.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Damn, I didn't know about this original version. I only knew the Sublime version and the Specials version. Thanks for posting. Love this song. Damn Amy Winehouse, too.

Beginning? This is at least the midpoint.

What would be terrible is if he ends up in prison, but donnie does not. Not that I think Roodles should not go to prison, mind you.
