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!

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon,

That's all you need to know. Rules are for the poor not the wealthy.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, these articles shouldn't say "a federal judge..." "Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters."

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Anyone who'd understand and/or care would already know - which specific one it is doesn't much matter as they're all corrupt AF, and need to be removed from the bench as soon as some semblance of sanity is restored to our government.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Well I'm just learning about it, so your assumption was wrong.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The point is that the ones who don't know should know. That's like the entire point of news. If the article keeps it vague, then people who are barely paying attention might think that an actual judge made a legal ruling based on the law. They might assume that a federal judge is non-partisan and independent.

I thought she got removed? Didn't someone determine she was unqualified for her post or illegitimately appointed or something? Or was that someone else?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No I believe you are thinking of the swimsuit attorney.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 20 hours ago

Ah crap, there's too many sycophants to keep track of...

If I was Jack, I'd just anonymous release it myself to the media. Not like justice is a thing that really exists anymore,.especially in America.

He's the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Since when does judge orders stop guys from doing said thing? Come on Jack! Play the pedophile at his own stupid fucking games!

Oops, I accidentally dropped a copy in the mail to every news site on the internet.

I Am Jack's Complete Lack of Surprise

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am Jack's love for Fight Club.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

Add her to The List.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More corrupt judges need to be prosecuted when/if sanity ever returns.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

...or some other form of accountability.,,

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

Aileen Cannon really pulling her weight for her master
