The federalist society six on the Supreme Court have been throwing out tons of law (abortion is the big one) based on bullshit readings of the law. That is the happy guy.

The sad guy is sad because Trump was convicted of 34 charges yesterday in relationship to his election interference case. He improperly edited his books to hide the fact that he paid a porn star to not speak about their affair before the 2016 election. This conviction has really pissed off Trumpers because they are credulous dipshits.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 22 points 5 months ago

Credulous dipshits is an understatement. They were going to cry foul no matter what, it was already predetermined for them. Same with the 2020 election, and same with the election in November. Fascists gonna fascist.

SCOTUS overturned roe vs Wade, which normally doesn't happen in the American legal system (contradicting previos precedent and jurisprudence sort of opens a Pandora's box of "well does this system even work if you can do that").

Donald Trump was just convicted on all 34 counts in his NY court case and his followers are calling for the judges execution.

"...and his followers are calling for the judge's execution."

You know, a completely normal thing you do to support the guy you want to run the government.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

The newly appointed judges who helped overturn the decision also specifically stated in their confirmation hearings that Roe v. Wade was settled law: https://www.factcheck.org/2022/05/what-gorsuch-kavanaugh-and-barrett-said-about-roe-at-confirmation-hearings/

Trump vows to appeal what he claims is ‘scam conviction’, laying into Biden and complaining about trial – live

Your one of today's luck 10000. Or maybe considerably more.

He also said he was going to testify and didn't, dude's a GLOAT, lol.

[-] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

GLOAT

Greatest Liar of All Time

Wow, lol, thanks for the new acronym. edit: new to me anyway

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Trump came up with it, I'm just repurposing it.

Edit: He used it for Cohen during this trial.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

Trumps lawyers*

I doubt he had any hand in that statement.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You're probably right. I bet they had so many meetings, so many, on what was the best word to use. Also, Trump probably had to approve it. His lawyer talking about how involved he was: https://youtu.be/Aw1udbzH0GY?si=LhQ7LtxSddKkms-1&t=476

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Lmao at the number of MAGA simps in that comment section.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Lol, I didn't see that when I was looking for the clip. I'm hoping they're mostly bots, but who knows.

This one? Please don't be real:

Trump... Trump ... Trump ...will still vote for trump even if he is in Jail..

ah yes biden, the uh president of new york?

[-] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago

You're correct that Trump complaining about Biden for this New York case doesn't make any sense. Presumably Trump is counting on his supporters believing in some conspiracy or being uniformed. Alvin Brag is the District Attorney of New York County and doesn't report to Biden.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Conservative critical thinking skills are low, so the basic logic is that New York, as a reliable blue state, must therefore be under Biden's control.

Much of the Republican worldview is based on projection, so part of that assumption is that Biden controls an army of loyalists just like Trump does. To Republicans, New York may as well be Mordor.
