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!

Now I know what to stream on my second monitor while working. Reminds me of the Depp v. Heard. I got that shit playing on my second monitor non stop. I'm not much of a person who likes to bicker. But watching rich people fight each other warms some part of me.

On a side note, I GUARANTEE that Kenneth Chesebro was in a frat and that the others called him Kenny Cheese-Bro.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bet they just called him Cheese.

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I wonder if his lawyers will be as much of a train wreck as those that represented Amber Heard?

[–] Rejacked@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got a feeling that Heard's lawyers will look like Harvard Law professors, compared to these folks.

Honestly didn't think there was ever going to be a trial more closely watched than OJ's. Guess he'll get the ratings he's always friggin obsessed with.

"I wish to have the greatest ratings of anyone ever!"

They interrupted my 8th grade art class to hear the OJ Simpson verdict. This is way bigger than that.

[–] scorpious@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So the “lawyers” for this piece of shit will make their entire presentation Victim Theater for the legions of turd followers.
