Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Ok, sure, but everything going on now is illegal on paper too. Trump is an illegitimate and illegal president. He is guilty of insurrection and can not hold any public office. Yet here we are. He tried to steal the last election and is guilty. And here we are. He SAed little kids. And here we are. He has broken thousands of laws that and one of which would put you or I in prison for a long time. And here we are. And on and on.
Please don't hide behind the "but legally he can't" or "but the system works this way". He has proven time and again that laws don't matter and rules don't matter as long as enough people let his crimes slide.
Yes states run elections, but what stops him from just declaring certain states as fraudulent or whatever lie he comes up with? If enough people go along with the lie he will continue on.
He shouldn't even be president NOW! Per the damn US Constitution that we are ALL just ignoring by letting him have power and a 2nd term!!!!! So please don't pretend he can't or won't try to get a 3rd term and more.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
I'm not mad at you, it's at him, but wtf he keeps getting away with all the horrible things and no one stops him, it probably won't stop until he dies.
If you follow enough of the court battles you'll see that he's not getting away with it all.
Oh, I know that. But he's getting away with the ones that truly matter.
Just him holding office instead of being in prison for 20 life sentences being THE BIG ONES.
That's not even close to true. Every single vindictive prosecution has fallen apart. There's quite a few more important cases he's losing but those don't make the big headlines or get drowned out by the war.
