Btw Trumps gag order is unconstitutional since a defendandts first amendment right to free speech can only be impeded if it's at the expense of someone elses constitutional rights, but none of his lawyers are bringing it up
I agree, but think it's this weird union of two different, inconsistent fundemental ideas
that in a better time, would spark discussion and debate on how to close the logical hole in our retarded legal framework
Because ultimately, a judge (as the lowest executor of judicial power) holds the authority to suspend your fundamental rights, and can do so semi-unilaterally
but we only narrowly carve out rights which they cannot infringe, to not impact your ability to be judged fairly by your peers
5th, 7th, 8th, and some other amendments
but there are GLARING omissions here, which come up in bizarre show trials like this, that are just ignored because all three institutions of power hate trump
same reason that war tribunals are a joke,
and I'd say generally, by exercising their right to suspend your rights beyond what is *necessary*, its self-defeating and undermines percieved authority
Part of why Trump will win the election, despite being a fuck-up
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 but we only narrowly carve out rights which they cannot infringe, to not impact your ability to be judged fairly by your peers
You mean rights the defendant can't infringe or the judge can't infringe?
right to a speedy trial, right to not self-incriminate, right to counsel (lawyer), attorney-client-privilege, etc.
there's this aspect of, "we can unilaterally take away your rights", but protect certain things judges can't fuck with
As I understand it though, if it seems like the defendant is infringing on someone elses right to any of those, the judge is allowed to take away the defendants right to any of those
And I think free speech is one of those and there's precedent that gag orders infringe on free speech
that's what I mean though, I think in Trump's case it's something that *should* be protected, but isn't
But otherwise gag orders are unconstitutional. Ye, it'd be good though if any of his lawyers could like, bring it up
a judge can throw out testomany, strike statements from legal record, remove you from your own court hearing, etc.
and the justification is your counsel is acting on your behalf, so its ok
but to the extent it's being done to Trump, yeah it's not something that really ever comes up outside of show trials
so it's never been explicitly protected, which is the (arguably dumb) way the system works here
that thought though "hey this seems kind of fucked"
Hmm so you're saying it happens all the time
is what the majority of people's reactions ware though
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 but to the extent it's being done to Trump, yeah it's not something that really ever comes up outside of show trials
no, the opposite
it RARELY happens
the last big show trial was probably 10+ years ago
arguably not since OJ's trial in the 90s
Hmm
but because its so rare, and everyone hates trump, I doubt this will be the catalyst that gets the loophole closed
So you're saying there can't be a nw show trial until the protagonist of the last show trial is dead?
look Zyton, we humans can only care about 7 things at a time
we'll get around to fixing it eventually
or just elect Trump and have him personally throw the judge in the Atlantic ocean
whichever is easier
He'd have to speedrun to the ocean though
Since he's promised he's only going to be a dictator on day 1
What do you reckon would happen though if his attorneys brought it up?
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr you guys care about 7 things at a time?? doesn't it get overwhelming, that much?
That's the White European #
Phijkchu average might be more like 4
Idk about trump in general, project 2025 seems like a good idea but the man has also said unprompted he is going to be a dictator
it's kind of cringe to have a Brit tell us how we need to deconstruct our country
Lest the light of """democracy""" go out
Who do you think has been behind all the troll farms and election interference these past 15 years?
Russia? Give me a break
Everything is going according to plan. Just like the monroe doctrine
we wanted you to become a superpower, totally, all according the the Queen's plan
AI dub of the Jewish
it looked non-fatal to me
though who the fuck knows, since they're probably 4-6 hours from a hospital
Garbage that was a good find
the music, the retarded woman filming, the whole retarded setup
it's perfect

I only know ex-MtG players, who needed a new fix to waste huge sums of money on
imo, the painting part is the main interesting aspect of the miniature game, the actual game part is mid
universe/lore are cool though
The only marketing that works rn is outrage marketing
make people mad ---> they talk about your game ---> short term profit increase
