America can you not be corrupt for one single moment please

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope. the days of pretending are over. Now its the days of gangsters with "fuck you money" ruling the country, and everyone else being told to deal with it. Basically Russia in the 1990s as everything is robbed and pilfered by private interests

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That only happens if they're not stopped.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Well, they control the media, they monitor the tools we use to communicate with each other online. they spy on us. Most of the governments are subservient to them. And the few times someone actually does get through to burn something or someone, they pull out all the stops, and charge them with terrorism.

seems to me that the "world elites" already won the game.

I guess conflicts of interest just aren't a thing anymore.

[–] Aslanta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

IKR. They are allowed to veto jurors or ti move the whole trial in order to reach a nonbias journey but apparently that doesn’t apply to the judge? Yikes beyond yikes.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Nothing to be avoided anymore. Something to seek out.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This should be an automatic forced recusal.

But it wont be, because the billionaires and CEOs are scared, and don't care about the appearance of propriety. They want Luigi sacrificed on an altar to instill fear and intimidation into those that might follow his example.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure Luigi's lawyer can (and will?) push for a different judge. I know the justice system in the US sucks but if you don't even give a chance to the rules it'll never be able to do anything right

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Remember remember!

The 4th of December

A CEO dies all alone;

On the street he was lain,

cold, pale and in pain,

thousands of deaths that he own.

The decisions he'd struck,

Layers removed from the slaughter,

Were a shareholder's treat,

Your dead mother or daughter.

Those investors all wait, on that cold winter morn,

Still unawares of profit potential they'd mourn,

Poking at hotel breakfast, bored looks on their face

As was Brian's when he denied and delayed at great pace

Endless growth, deposed, on behalf of us all

Luigi didn't do it, we were hiking in Nepal.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 151 points 2 days ago

There were 24,849 homicides in 2022.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

Almost none of them, if any, likely required a nationwide manhunt.

Not one of them required an escort of 30 police officers plus a helicopter to the courtroom.

As far as I can tell, none of them were charged with terrorism.

And now he's getting as biased a judge as he could possibly get.

If we're going to start charging murderers with terrorism, let's start with the cops.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 78 points 2 days ago

you people clearly don't know what you are talking about. "conflict of interest" only happens if it conflicts the interests of billionaires

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

"I swear, officer, that I didn't kill that judge. The fact that my search history indicates an interest in 3D printed guns, and I own the works of Karl Marx, AND I was wearing a free "Free Luigi" shirt doesn't prove anything."

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Not happily married, I hope.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 192 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I knew they were going to try him in a kangaroo court, I just didn't think they'd be this obvious about it.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 84 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The justice system probably assigned the judge randomly. It's just finding a judge without wealth is impossible ... which in and of itself is a problem.

This judge needs to recuse themselves from the case.

That’s definitely a conflict of interest.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 112 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm sure the judge will recuse themselves to avoid any appearance of impropriety... ^/s^

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 2 days ago

As Clarence Thomas has proved.

(Sack of shit.)

Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting.

I need the bootlickers to show up and tell me it's just coincidence.

The whole damn thing is a show. They are terrified. The book they usually play by isn't working. What will happen? The amount of support Luigi has is astounding. It's even a topic I tested the waters with at work and these people I work with make a decent living.

America is waking up. I feel it.
