This video clip is a perfect analogy for how the rich can treat our legal system. For everyone else, there's Ice killing Alex Pretti.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

YO MIKE
Is your boy Trump helping you out with your legal fees?
I thought you were going to get a spot in his administration for all the help you gave him.
I'm sure he'll get around to it.
Anyway, have the life you earned, cumstain.
This happened where?????
Are you one of today's 10,000 ?
I don't know, might be more than 10k on that one
And people say there's no good news.
Pillow CEO in legal trouble in conservative conference in Gaylord, Texas.. Man this timeline just getting lazy
Is it me, or is there something inherently funny about CPAC being in a place called "Gaylord?"
I'd like to see the traffic for Grindr there this week.
Run real fast and do equations in your head, Morty!
Dear Leader drained his finances, now Pillow Boy is just a convenient distraction.
Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind
Theyve got the pillow guy, the couch guy, and the kid raper. Fun group.
the kid raper
And the puppy killer, and the douchy podcaster, and the richest man in the world that can't stop acting like he's on 4chan, Jewish space lasers lady, the woman that married the guy that exposed himself to her as a minor, and Ted Cruz
Jewish space lasers lady rage-quit because she finally got it through her dumbass skull that pedo-in-chief wasn't actually going after the pedos.
Yeah, I don't believe her. I think it's just a different grift, not a genuine change of heart.
I believe that she was a QAnon true believer, but finally getting disillusioned from that doesn't somehow redeem her from continuing to be a vile piece of shit in every other possible way.

"Keep still, Their vision is based on morons."
Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind
I always thought they perhaps started from better candidates, but even after the most simple vetting those candidates somehow fail ideological purity tests ( such as "candidate is great on white supremacy but poor on abortion, NEXT!") or some other bullshit maga metric, and what remains are people like Mr Lumpy Pillow.
And then dumping them into the river the second the Orange Jackass is done using them.

Poor Mike went from snorting cocaine to now snorting Ajax cleaner cut with Ajax cleaner.
I'm betting his cokehead ramblings back in the day made more sense than anything he's said in the past decade
After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.
Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.
can she prove it? Hard to say, if only he was on TV
Ah yes, because professional process servers are "deranged leftists" now.
Oh god please let him get held in contempt for failure to appear 🤣
It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.
Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.
Which means that's exactly what they're doing when they exercise the law against someone. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.
"What they're doing is illegal!"
"Sir, you're being served with papers for a crime you've committed"
"I don't have time for this, I'm on TV!"
After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.
Thats awesome! There's now video proof he was served and he can't deny he never wasn't.
Process servers take note of this. If you want your target to accept the papers, simply have a second person attempting an interview.
He took it we all saw it. His lumpiness has been served!
I'm not familiar with this "serving papers" thing. Can someone ELI5 (and not American)?
What's the legal aspect of having to physically give someone some documents?
It's basically "Hi, here's some documentation informing you of legal proceedings against you. You now have no excuse to say you didn't know about it and are legally required to participate in the proceedings."
The person that serves the papers stands as the witness to the specific individual receiving said papers. Rather than mailing them and the papers just being ignored and people playing dumb about it to try to get out of whatever is going on for as long as possible.
If I'm missing something someone is more than welcome to come add onto or correct me if I'm wrong.
This about sums it up. But I will add that there's also a subtype of bounty hunters who's whole job is to track folks down to serve papers. Not really much to add past that just a fun fact.
I ran into one of these a few weeks ago trying to serve papers to my neighbor. They rang my bell to ask about him. Crazy.
I'm no snitch, but I did confirm some guy lives there, but I don't know anything about him 🤷♂️
Which also happens to be mostly the truth. Couldn't even tell you the guys name.
I see them knocking on his door every few days or so, still haven't got him.
But I AM a snitch when it counts, I definitely called the police on his girlfriend for drunk driving before.
She came home, struggled to get up the stairs, struggled to unlock her door, and then complained loudly to her cats, yelling, describing how drunk she was to them. Then 10 minutes later I heard her door again, by the time I got to my window she was driving away. I dialed 911 immediately. Unfortunately nothing came of it 🤷♂️
A yes a prime example of the failures of the legal situation, seriously would it kill them to send a patrol car to the area in case something happened at a minimum. Also yeah these bounty guys are probably on the good side of the bounty hunting profession mostly cause they usually are just there to keep the court system moving, unlike their cowboy wannabe kin who just seem to cause problems.

Not necessarily against you specifically being prosecuted. They can also serve a subpoena to you if you are required as a witness on a case.
That's what happened to me.
The weird part was that when I was handed the papers I thought it was about a completely different case that was going to require me as a witness. This is weird because the only two times in my entire life I was (or thought I would be) subpoenaed happened at exactly the same time on two completely unrelated cases.

Oof, this guy can't catch a break. It really sucks to be so stubbornly attached to your own insanity that you keep getting yourself sued. Good luck there buddy lol
...only to pick the documents off the floor when the cameras were off.
Sure. He isn't an idiot. He just plays one professionally for morons. Oh, he's also an idiot.
He reminds me of Charlie's creepy lawyer uncle on Sunny! Little thiccer in the midsection but there you have it
You just know there are people he burned in business back on the 80s that are just enjoying the absolute shit out of this guys non-stop never-ending downward spiral.
Guy hasnt had a good day since January 6th 2021. Even in this administration.
the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas
Weird venue choice for the homophobic fascist (but I repeat myself) party 🤔
Home of Grindr HQ. I hope they shored up their infrastructure for this. They ALWAYS crash during Conservative conventions.
