How is it that a judge can just decide somebody can be arrested for no other reason than “they didn’t like their attitude”? If a crime hasn’t been committed and a person hasn’t been arrested, how does the judge have any say over what a private citizen is doing? I would expect them to have to have slightly more leeway over their courtroom and they can have people escorted out or whatever, but just being able to detain people for no reason seems like an abuse of power? Across the board it seems like the Judicial branch has too much power.

Looks like it’s the consequences of their own actions circling around again. Time to blame liberals/trans/minorities/foreigners/anybody else!

Meanwhile, Trump dodged military service based on a fraudulent premise and his father’s money.

Ahh right, because the guy who was literally impeached for trying to get Zelensky to fabricate a story about his political opponent and who is beholden to Ukraine’s enemy would be an honest peace broker.

Biden is well past his prime, had a shitty performance last night, hate his record on Israel, but I’m still voting for him because he’s not Trump and I’d prefer that our representative democracy continued. Moving to a braindead, functionally illiterate dictatorship just seems like an all-around worse move in every respect. Not sure about his chances, but whatever, there’s not really any other alternative at this point.

It goes back to the Broken Windows theory about crime. The Broken Windows Theory in criminology posits that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior, and civil disorder create an environment that encourages further criminal activity. These visible signs, such as broken windows or graffiti, signal a lack of order and law enforcement, leading to more serious crimes.

So, the more we let these billionaires and radical far-Right extremists keep breaking windows, like what they did on January 6, the more they’ll be encouraged to keep doing it. We (society) are letting them do it without consequences, so there’s no incentive for them to ever stop.

“If he was racist, would he have had sex with his slaves? Checkmate libtards.”

As a western liberal, I would feel so owned if conservatives started heading over to Russia en masse. Just the thought of not being able to convert their children into Satanic, transgender bisexuals and forcing abortions on them makes me want to puke. Please stay, stop, don’t go.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world has been a constant presence who seemingly posts at all hours of the day, probably the biggest Lemmy “celebrity” that I can think of.

Maybe we should have given harsher punishments to the people who tried doing that the first time around?
