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!

This title is hilarious compared to others I’ve seen. Makes it seem like shit was crazy. Like they’re trying to top the guy who superman’d over the bench last week. It wasn’t. He spoke and the judge let him. And the judge will make his decision soon so let’s see how the EXPLOSIVE UNHINGED ATTACKS work out for him.

Yeah I was going to say, "stormed out"? I've never seen a courtroom where the defendant could just leave, especially not in a case that's this high profile.

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

It's civil not criminal so defendant isn't required to attend

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He could "storm out" because it was lunchtime

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"I'm going to call a one-hour recess."

"Thank you, your honor" Storms out

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

How explosively unhinged of you!

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I'm guessing the only explosive or thunderous thing that happened was just Trump shitting his diaper as he waddled out.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

this article- which I skimmed - seems like a left-leaning Fox News. Like massive hyperbole and exaggeration designed to get rage clicks

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that's the devolution of most media now... It's ridiculous.

No no we can't be the media or the press and simply provide information, we are ad revenue companies masquerading as the press.

Right, left, center, whatever. It's all devolving into click bait shit.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Looking at it, it seems worse than Fox. It seems closer to Gateway Pundit or some awful shit like that.

[–] squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is there video of this speech?

[–] DBT@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Not that I’ve seen (doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist), but other coverage I have read makes it seem way less dramatic.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

Agreed. I thought there was some huge, unhinged rant. I only read about it, didn't hear it, but it sounds pretty tame compared to this description.
