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.
- 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.
- 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!

One. He opted for a fucking bench trial.
Two.
Yes you just opted to have the judge be the eye beholden to. Great job very intelligent person.
Three.
I don't think dude's lawyer understands "reasonable". Dude indicated he was going to punch someone. Video cuts out. An officer got punched while the video was off. It's reasonable to think that people mean what they say, which is why you shouldn't say dumb shit like I'm going to punch you.
Just like when fuckers say, "you'll take my gun over my dead body." It is reasonable to assume that person intends to follow though with that. Now, you can't lock them up till we have an assault or murder, but once we cross that line, it's fair game to take all those words at face value.
'til
I had to Google this because I thought you were correct and I found it interesting. However till is the same as 'til, til and until. They are synonyms of till. There is the verb that means to work by plowing, sowing and raising crops. There is the noun that is the money drawer at the store. As well as the noun use of unstratified glacial drift consisting of clay, sand, gravel, and boulders intermingled. There are many uses. So your correction is wrong.
Are you using the dictionary that defines Literally as Figuratively?
Remember, dictionaries show trends. They're a popularity contest and, like Mr Trump, something can be popular and still very wrong.
