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!

The full jury instructions are up verbatim on the New York Courts website for the People v Donald J. Trump (Criminal) case.

If you are one of the people believing stupid rightwing misinformation over reading the actual document, I don’t know what to tell you.
If I'm one of those people, I'm too lazy to read contrary information and possibly not smart enough to understand it anyway. I just think what the people entertaining me tell me to think.
Are you the fucking moron I argue with on my Facebook? Cause that's exactly what he does.
Oh, that's you? Always trying to embarrass me with how smart you are. Come say it to my face, nerd.
No you don't have to go that far. They'll just claim it's false news. I've had these conversations before. Every single source is unreliable and biased. Every single video is altered. Everything is fake. That's their bread and butter.
See mine's different. He doesn't claim my sources are unreliable or biased. In fact half the time I just use his very own sources. The problem is I'm digging into the actual data from the study. He doesn't get past the impotent rage inducing clickbait headlines. So he'll take someone dying shortly after getting the vaccine as incontrovertible proof the vaccine is bad without understanding how often (and more frequent) it ~~hairball~~ happens in the unvaccinated. "ArE tHe NuMbErS wRoNg??!!" ... well no. Your idiotic interpretation is wrong and you don't even comprehend why.
Too dumb to read about it themselves and also too dumb to consider false instruction would actually help Trump.
