Say what you can about communism, but you clearly see that capitalism is so much worse.
lol and I say this as someone who grew up in Soviet occupied eastern europe. Trust me, there are very few systems worse than communism, well at least, that version of it.
Communism lifted an illiterate nation of serfs into an industrial and atomic super power in, like, 50 years.
Which is to say just as bad as capitalism but approximately four times faster.
It was also responsible for the highly anti-intellectual culture that existed and still continues in said country today. So it swings both ways.
Heard someone say that their grandparents who left the USSR during the collapse in the early 90’s told them something along the lines of “not everything the Soviet government promised us about communism was true, but everything they told us about capitalism is true.”
I don’t think any of the nations who call themselves “communists” can actually be considered communist. Hell, most of them are pretty much dictatorships, which is the farthest you can get from communism.
Justice for Luigi is going to sail away with Judge parker at the helm.
Maybe this is a good thing? I’m not super familiar with american justice system but isn’t his case is mostly betting on jury acquitting or using jury nullification or at least taking him to strong settlement? Having a judge like this would definitely sway the jury in Luigi’s favor.
you people clearly don’t know what you are talking about. “conflict of interest” only happens if it conflicts the interests of billionaires
This judge needs to recuse themselves from the case.
Land of the fee.
Home of the Whopper.
Kill her husband? Send a message?
I knew they were going to try him in a kangaroo court, I just didn’t think they’d be this obvious about it.
The justice system probably assigned the judge randomly. It’s just finding a judge without wealth is impossible … which in and of itself is a problem.
what you expect from a country where judges in the highest court get bribed with “gifts” and “private” trips, while at the same time ignore “international laws” and threaten the most recognized court in the world. What you expect from a government and country that allow a rapist, felon, to be a president while enabling the killing of more than 30 000 kids and women (year old worst estimates).
Such government will have no regards for it is own citizen and this is just the start of worse to come if people don’t step in.
That’s definitely a conflict of interest.
I’m sure the judge will recuse themselves to avoid any appearance of impropriety… /s
As Clarence Thomas has proved.
(Sack of shit.)
As judges always do…
Rich people being shot means nature is healing ❤️
Life, uh, finds a way
Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting.
I need the bootlickers to show up and tell me it’s just coincidence.
The whole damn thing is a show. They are terrified. The book they usually play by isn’t working. What will happen? The amount of support Luigi has is astounding. It’s even a topic I tested the waters with at work and these people I work with make a decent living.
America is waking up. I feel it.
I genuinely think that they’ll have a hard time finding an impartial jury… I think that at this point, pretty much anyone who doesn’t live under a rock has heard of him and has an opinion on whether he should be found guilty.
Regardless of which way you fall on that particular topic, you’re biased, and that would exclude you from serving on the jury.
I thought the same thing about the Trump trial, but they legitimately turned over rocks and found the most oblivious Americans living under them. There are evidently tons of people out there living in their own little bubble, completely untethered from the news media or even just casual conversations with strangers and probably have no idea who Luigi is right now. The news might not be able to reach them, but a jury summons from the state can, and the prosecution is going to hunt for these individuals specifically.
The 65+ crowd view him unfavorably, so I expect the jury to be a bunch of 65+ people
An unfavorable view is still bias. The defense would reject any juror that shows significant malice towards the plaintiff.
I’ve spoken with friends about this is Denmark, and we all read the news with great pleasure.
Correct. And I strongly suspect they are wildly pumping out news about him to narrow the juror pool to people who do live under rocks.
The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.
His defense, in any case, has a very difficult task - they need to be able to somehow communicate him being innocent against stacked charges OR paint him light that the rest of us see that leans them towards Jury Nullification.
My hope is that potential jurors hide their bias, which isn’t easy, but gives him the best chance.
The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.
That’s almost impossible to prove, and almost never prosecuted.
There are plenty of nevers and almost nevers with this case already, so it’s not unreasonable to worry that there might be more.
They’re trying to use fear to spin a story against this guy. They’re going to use fear when telling them about lying under oath.
They’re going to use fear the whole way, it’s their only weapon.
It’s why they are so afraid. A lot of us see through it, and see their real fear.
If they can find an “unbiased” jury, then the defense does indeed have a difficult challenge ahead. Even if the prosecution fails with their terrorism charge, they can fall back on murder 2, which is much harder to defend against.
Oh, I already have a simple solution to that.
I ain’t seen nothin in that video.
Let’s all do our best impression of Johnny tightlips whenever anyone with a badge or a gavel asks about Luigi.
“Hey Eddie, good to see ya. How’s your mother?”
“Who says i got a mutha?”
“Tell 'im to suck a lemon.”
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
That’s literally what it’s taken in the past. It took the fear of communism to really get unionization accepted in the US. In other eras it’s taken the threat of invasion by external powers.
Country wide outage at the corruption involved with the health insurance
Health insurance industry: we can make it worse
They’re certainly not being subtle with the class warfare
They haven’t been since they got raked from COVID-19 and shutdowns tanking their stocks in 2020. So they price gouge with inflation and shrinkflation, keep prices high to make up the difference and fuck us over. Then they keep the prices artificially high, raising prices on entertainment, force people back to the office, and use those as talking points to tank democrat campaigns.
They’ve been openly at war for the last 5-years or so. Just like Gaza, you can only trap people in misery for so long before they lose just enough to make it worth fighting back with violence. We’re on the cusp of that backlash and I have a feeling the next 4+ years are gonna see the blowup.
A certain fair and unbiased trial he’s getting…/s
That was the magistrate. Whether the trial will be biased is something we don’t know yet.
“conflict of interest” was old speak from the dark ages.
We are in the second Gilded Age
You’re a pure soul… but you didn’t say “God bless you” when I sneezed.
This is the sort of thing judges are supposed to recuse themselves over.
