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!

Except there is no mugshot of DT...

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, but if the headline were honest, how would they get you to click the link?

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

If the headline had been "Mugshots of DT's alleged co-conspirators released" I still would have taken a look.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Tomorrow there will be.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Will get updated tomorrow...

[–] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Let's take a guess at what each person was thinking.

Rudy Giuliani: "Wait a second, this isn't the Ritz Carlton."

Sidney Powell: Nothing intelligent. The conspiracy theories have melted her brain.

Jenna Ellis: "Maybe if I smile they'll let me go."

John Eastman: "Cronk not know what going on."

Kenneth Cheseboro: "OMG this is happening."

Scott Hall: "I will kill whoever it takes to get away with this."

David Shafer: "Ha ha ha ha! I'm totally fucked!"`

Ray Smith: Also contemplating murder but knows better.

Cathy Latham: She has no thoughts. She's a deer caught in the headlights.

Supposedly he will surrender tomorrow, so not yet.

[–] dunkelzahn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This link is broken. It's spitting out nothing but captchas for me. I'm solving them and it's just spitting them out more. I'm done.

[–] ThreeHalflings@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Giulliani tryna look hard, but just looking like he can't remember where he left his teeth.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

It's like you can tell who thinks they're going to get away with it and who knows they're boned.

[–] BrianTheFirst@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How are people able to get through the captchas on that site? They never end for me.

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Same for me.

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But... but I'm not a robot...

[–] sumofchemicals@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah am I missing something? I've yet to get a page at this domain to load

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

You know nine times out of ten it's your ad-blocker.

Disabling AdGuard let me through. No surprise. Running an archive like that has got to be costly.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh boy. Cathy and Ray are absolutely fucked. Bet those two flip so fast they break the sound barrier.

One by one, these people will flip Jenna may be all smiles now, but when she gets 5 years minimum, she's gonna be a sob story.

[–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jenna is hoping Trump or a Republican wins so she can get off scot free.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Doesn't matter. These are state charges that can't be pardoned by a president.

Also, the way pardons work in Georgia: you have to serve the full sentence and wait 5 years before being considered for one by a parole board.

That's the smile of a fucking moron. Nothing more. Nothing less.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You'd think they'd be able to get the lighting a bit more even and consistent

[–] jcit878@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

its surprisingly hard when the subject is so fucking dim

[–] Tolstoshev@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The photographer wanted to make sure we knew that the defendants are all white.
