Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The thing that cracks me up is that you have these Republican candidates running against Trump, and they are all too scared to actually attack him on the fact that he's going to prison for trying to rig the election.
In the history of the world, has there ever been an easier line of attack handed to a political opponent? But they are all cowards.
Cowards? Or secretly want to follow in his footsteps, hoping they will succeed where Donald failed. And why shouldn't they? America is clearly crumbling from within, ripe for the taking - if you can take it. They're not scared, they're evil and calculating and hungry for power. It's a sickening corporate sponsered puppet show.
They probably could use the same populist rethoric to get as many votes without doing all the dumb avoidable crimes Trump have been doing.
Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.
I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.
That's right in the middle of the primaries, right? That should make things interesting.
My thoughts exactly. Furthermore, if they moved it to April 2026 and Trump—in the darkest timeline possible—won the election, the trial would be canceled altogether.
that was definitely by design
Blatantly so.
It's the day before Super Tuesday. 15 states will have primaries.
Wow, one of their examples/citations of a trial taking a long time was a Judge Chutkan case, and she just reminded them that it was because of the pandemic!
Trump’s lawyers, in contrast, requested that Judge Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing the case, schedule the trial for April of 2026 – more than two and a half years from now – ~~due in part to the extended period of time they said they would need to review the large amount of discovery evidence the government has provided in the case~~ in the hopes that Trump will be re-elected and thus immune from prosecution.
Which was probably why the judge denied it. They already have reviewed all the evidence, they did it ages ago, we know they did because Trump told us he had some "irrefutable evidence" that he was going to submit in court.
So if they need more evidence they just have to ask Trump to provide it, which of course he definitely has and will be able to provide.
It still blows my mind that this guy's still alive.
Day before Super Tuesday. Lawl.
Not political prosecution. Nope.
When you're a criminal they let you do it. Grab them by the indictment.
The prosecution wanted to get the trial started earlier. An innocent defendant also would have wanted a speedy trial to get his innocence out there before the primaries, but for some reason Trump wanted to delay the trial for years.
