    Independents are who make or break an election. Let’s see if this numbers remain the same come election time.

    It was more than fair. If it had been someone like us we would have went to jail for contempt.

      I think they were trying to say slightly more Republicans found it unfair than found the verdict incorrect

        You believe most voters are legal experts or do you think legal expertise is unimportant?

      Are legal experts widely arguing it was unfair? Every lawyer take I’ve seen has been that it was if anything overly fair

          Happened to bump into a lawyer two weeks ago during lunch at church. Know of a few others from other orgs like the bike club.

      But they are the voters, and that’s all that matters.

      Are you suggesting we don’t let common folk vote? How very Platocratic of you.

      To date, most of the news coverage around Trump has been his defense team’s fumbling failures to make a compelling case.

      Lemmyites are happy with this prevailing view for the time being. But if the increasingly right-wing dominated press decide to change their tune, we could easily see a “Trump is being persecuted unfairly” narrative gain ground in 2024, the same way that “Hillary Emails make her unfit for office” gained ground in the run up to 2016. Just depends on which way Jeff Bezos’s WaPo, Elon Musk’s Twitter, and Bill Gates’s NBC decide to swing as we head into the general election season.

      You’re absolutely right about voters not being legal experts. And that’s going to leave them increasingly vulnerable to whatever prevailing media narrative swamps them in November.

          You should report back up the chain that “lawfair” isn’t catching on. Your handlers should feed you a new talking point.

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!
