  • well… it’s not a good strategy if you’re lying your ass off, it happens to be true, AND you conspired with your lawyers to commit the crime you’re accused of.

    now, Jack Smith (and every reasonable person on earth, the more clever dolphins, cetaceans, chimps, corvidae, octopods, and a couple of transdimentional mice) knows this is the case, so this is definitely a terrible strategy. It’s also patently Trump to blame anyone else for his own actions but himself. Predictable, even.

  • it’s not a matter of what you or I want; it’s a matter of justice, of what’s fair and what’s right.

    murder? yeah you lost your rights to vote, deal with it.

    and why should they? they’ve paid their debt to society.

  • oh, I know— it’s the last ass-fucking on the prison pipeline— and why it’s so important that people who have paid their debt to society get their lives back afterward.

  • oh, wait… I guess I misread that part of Trump’s indictment…

    you have to admit, this whole this is pretty... baroque in its complexity. pardon me for tripping over a few of the details!

  • They’ve all been indicted as co-conspirators. Jack Smith knows what he’s doing.

  • when you go to prison and pay the price that society says your supposed to pay by serving your sentence, you get released. you’re done. How is it just that you have your right to vote permanently stripped from you?

    if you were convicted of a violent crime and were proven not to be able to be trusted with a firearm, I can understand not being able to ever own a gun again, and a felony record already makes it next to impossible to find a decent job or decent housing. but to never vote again? that’s just petty and vindictive, not just. These people, whatever their crime, hav paid their debt to society.

  • yeah, it’s called a “trial”.

    the "trap" is that he knows Trump will “lie” because Smith has “mountains of evidence” that Trump and his co-conspirators are “incredibly fucking guilty."

  • I remember watching this on HBO when I was, like, 5 or 6. it was so cool.

    this really brings me back...

  • It’s been a while since I’ve used Ubuntu. What happened?

  • this sounds like a sci-fi novel

  • brainwashed Fox/MSNBC/CNN people

    this represents 3 different groups of people who, largely, not only disagree on many sociopolitical issues, but also largely hate each other.

    just FYI

    Fox is pretty far right, CNN is kind of in the middle, and MSNBC leans leftish, as mainstream US cable media outlets go

  • I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.

    You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.

  • Apologies for my previous comment— I mistook this for the episode discussion post, not the Daystrom Institute post…

    This is an excellent breakdown of the episode’s technical aspects. well done! Thanks for the breakdown!
