Of course, the Dems will huff and puff and do nothing
That's my point, Merrick Garland of all people, Mr I don't want to appear political so I'll slow walk trump, isnt going to arrest a Supreme Court Justice mere months before an election if he ever would in the first place.
Congressional subpoenas mean absolutely nothing after Trump's term though. They'll just ignore then and what, you expect Merrick Garland to arrest a Supreme Court Justice for contempt of Congress? If it even gets that far.
So it's racist if he bans them and racist if he doesn't. Cool. Got it. That's not stupid at all.
"It can never happen here"
Here's a hint dude: it can and it will.
Trump was not president for the crimes in NY or the retention of documents AFTER he was president. Of course it'll be delayed and litigated, but "president is immune" does not make trumps problems go away unless they go "president is immune for the rest of their lives" which is even more insane.
Well if you just want license to be a bigot, which I'll be honest is the vibe I get from your admittedly short history, host your own instance.
People give the fairness doctrine far too much credit, it only applied to your local over the air news channels. Not cable, and it wouldn't have applied to the internet.
🏴☠️ it is then.
One of them literally just had his submersible implode because he was smarter than safety regulators.
Well if I didn't understand that I'd not be on this instance now. I just didn't like how they did it with 0 warning when those instances were increasingly a big part of my Lemmy experience, and they could have just asked for people to volunteer as mods. Regardless of how I feel about it, the reason it's damaging is because of how people who don't understand it will view it.
I was on beehaw until they defederated, just seemed like the wrong answer to me and one that will just end up being damaging to Lemmy, especially the way they went about it.
You vastly overestimate how much the average person pays attention to anything political, and when they do hear something they just assume they're all like that.
