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!

But all the trump fans aren't paying any attention because she's a tv personality and anyone on TV or in the movies shouldn't talk politics, right?

Right?

[–] NoSuchAgency@reddthat.com -4 points 4 months ago

She's a real judge that happen to get a tv show. She's not a Hollywood actress

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Reality show judge has an opinion.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

as someone who owns property in Manhattan

She doesn't call herself a New Yorker or "resident of Manhattan" because legally she's probably a Florida resident, because they have no income tax.

It doesn't matter what she thinks. The People of New York, both as the prosecution and the jury, convicted him. She's not a citizen of New York, so her opinion doesn't matter. She knows this. She should pay her NY state and local taxes and stop being a freeloader if she wants to be heard.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Television personality Judge Judy Sheindlin has ignited controversy on social media with her recent comments about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial.

Sheindlin, known for her sharp-tongued judgments on her courtroom show, didn't hold back when discussing the charges brought against Trump by Bragg's office.

Sheindlin's comments have sparked outrage among Trump critics on social media, with some arguing that her dismissal of the charges undermines the work of prosecutors and investigators involved in the case.

Ryan Shead, veteran commentator and host of the Hold the Mic podcast, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, "When EVERYONE around someone like Trump starts going to prison for covering for him, that person is likely guilty too.

X user Marlene Robertson posted, "Judge Judy is literally telling the world that keeping her taxes lower is more important than democracy.

Sheindlin, a self-described political independent, previously backed former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
