That's not how appeals courts work. EDIT: Except in New York State. Please refer to this comment for more details.

Appeals courts only address matters of law, not matters of fact. There would need to have been a legal error in the process of the first trial so large that it would have impacted the jury's decision. In the best case for Trump, the appeals court would find that, and then send the case back to be retried (though depending on the error identified, the prosecution can choose whether to retry the case or not).

Appeals courts don't just say "No, we decided you're innocent! OVERTURNED!" and we know this because of Trumps previous appeal attempts on other shit.

Rally at a megaCHURCH? I was under the impression that if they accepted payment for space rental, that breaks their tax-exempt status. If they simply allowed a political rally, same problem. Hmmm....

This domain name just doesn't look like something you should click.

[-] OldFart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

x.com is twitter, substitute x with twitter and it will go to the same place.

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I know that. It was one of the worst marketing decisions of all time.
Twitter still had some of that "instant, independent news from people on the ground" image left.
x.com sounds like a porn site that spreads malware.

I'd be alright with just taxing all churches as businesses.

[-] OldFart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not all, there is one church that does not get involved in ANY politics.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nah, them also. No exceptions. I guess they could file for 503 (c) status if they qualify.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

which one are you thinking of

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

The fact that Democrats are doing it too doesn't make it okay.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ohhhh but the Democrats....

Trump has the makings of a great meme template.

Batshit crazy demand #1 - "or we’re not going to have a country anymore!"

Batshit crazy demand #2 - "or we’re not going to have a country anymore!"

Batshit crazy demand #3 - "or we’re not going to have a country anymore!"

"I'd like a large mushroom pizza and a bottle of coca cola, please, " - “or we’re not going to have a country anymore!”

Holy fuck that's hilarious. I'm definitely going to start slipping this into real life conversations with my ultra conservative family members.

I want a large chocolate frosty or we're not going to have a country anymore!

gimme a uh… double bacon cheeseburger… gimme a pie (apple)… gimme a uh… liter of cola… OR WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!

The memetic cross-pollination potential here is real.

Batshit crazy demand #1 - “or we’re not going to have a country anymore!”

So Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump is now demanding that Biden wins.

lol.

Lmao, even.

[-] btaf45@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Is anywhere else sick of Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump saying "rigged" every time he loses a court case or election? Loser Trump loses at golf? "Rigged".

This unamerican neofascist slanders our great country and attacks America's longstanding core values of democracy and the rule of law every f*cking time he loses. And being such a huge loser and criminal he loses a lot. What a sick and twisted piece of shit.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He cheats at golf too.

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I’m looking forward to seeing how the judge addresses all these rants at his sentencing.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m sure I’m breaking a rule here, but every time I see his stock angry pouty face photo, I think of Ben stiller.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
