Donald Trump Arrested by Fulton County Sheriff’s Office - Mugshot Taken!

There is talk of him taking his motorcade to the Fulton County jail for processing.
What is really shocking is how insane this situation is:
>The indictment does not fundamentally concern actions taken in Georgia, but describes words spoken and actions taken by the Trump campaign in a variety of other states in their efforts to cast doubt on the controversial 2020 presidential election.
>The indictment charges several defendants with crimes merely for making statements that argued the 2020 election was stolen. It claims that actions such as holding public hearings in Pennsylvania amounted to acts in furtherance of an illegal conspiracy.
>Other “acts” that are referred to as furthering the conspiracy include tweets by then-President Trump encouraging people to watch public hearings in which allegations of voting irregularities were being made by Trump’s lawyers and witnesses.
Have any amount of power can actually make it so that you can now be held legally responsible for, uhhh... challenging an election.
Discussion
That is a really quick and well done meme
And the lefties are going fucking nuts about how they haven't gone far enougn to take this dictator out...
I swear... I don't understand it... Clearly Biden... Yea... Whatever. It makes me question myself when nearly the entire Internet is against me... But then... I try and just can understand their reasoning... Probably because there is none.
> It makes me question myself when nearly the entire Internet is against me..
You mean all the heavily biased and censored lefty sites liek facebook, reddit, pre-elon twitter, mastodon, etc where it easy to make lots of throwaway accounts? lol I'm sure there is large parts of the net that just don't go to those sites cuz they are sick of not being able to have their own opinion. and plenty more people that just lurk or don't even go online regularly.
but yeah, i feel ya. i also kinda hate seeing when some righties use tiktok and act like its not some ccp-owned garbage and that other better and censorship-resistant video platforms like rumble and odysee don't exist.
But then you go to rumble and it often goes too far in the other direction. Not crazy like the left... usually... but forceful presentation in a way that discourages conversation...
Otoh, video sites do a poor job at fostering conversation anyway.
> But then you go to rumble and it often goes too far in the other direction.
Fair enough. I think is that way with a lot of conservative sites tbh. things like poal/ruqqus/voat/upgoat had more conservative lean than reddit/mastodon/old twitter/lemmy byt also very strong usage of slurs and hardcore, no apologies racism. i was never offended and still think that kind of thing is fun here nd there but it does get a little old when you are look for serious discussion and you get some guy acting like 12yo wth slurs. is why i am alrady missing EH (lemmy instanec).
I dont think there is a really true neutral free speech site out there or i haven't found it if there is. i dont agree with democrats usually but dont mind discussion when you can find some of the less woke ones that can actually still remain polite after you say things like 'i voted for trump' or 'i think gender affirming care is harmful to both patients and society'. but i cant see them bothering unless we are at least cordial in return
> Otoh, video sites do a poor job at fostering conversation anyway.
yeah, i think so too.
see people doing training or news or whatever in video and always i would rather just skim and read it instead. podcasts i get somewhat cuz you can listen while driving or doing yardwork but video completely keeps you from doing other stuff unless you just ignore it but then wahts the point
