Best donation I've ever made.

[-] k_rol@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Donated, thanks

[-] fart@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

he comes from like one of the richest families in the country...

[-] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 6 days ago

I'm sure his ultra right wing family is just throwing money at his defense.

If someone is trying to help; I don't care what family they come from.

[-] Fredthefishlord 4 points 6 days ago

They probably are. As long as they aren't gay rich white families will pay for most anything for their kid...

Is it possible to make a tax deductable donation to hit Trump or Musk?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

idk if a Mario brother is the right person for that.

donate to BJ Blazkowicz instead.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

No, but you might be able to set up a betting pool. If you just happen to win, make sure you have an alibi.

But seriously, don't do that. The person who originally thought up that, who I wont name because his name and the name for this thing are probably weighted heavy in the spider bots, was a student who landed in jail twice for tax evasion. Like, the second time happened immediately after the first.

I know it’s exited the news cycle, but I still remember this was a big thing for the left and right to both agree on supporting. I’d very much like to prompt Trump for his opinion on the man to force him to take a side.

[-] MangoCats@feddit.it 27 points 6 days ago

prompt Trump for his opinion on ~~the man~~ anything to force him to take a side.

That's how you get banned from the press pool.

Best to not remind Trump that Luigi exsist. Don't need him falling out a window with the cameras off and the guards napping.

Mushroom kingdom banks are a bit slow.

I mean nobody can carry 100 coins at the same time there because they turn into an extra life, so large transactions are labor intensive.

[-] archchan@lemmy.ml 22 points 5 days ago

If he doesn't walk, bust him out by force.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 36 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Pray for Saint Luigi

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

The court should examine how many people were murdered by UHC.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 34 points 6 days ago

Anyone smarter than me in law know if there is even a remote chance he walks?

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 50 points 6 days ago

I'm not good at law but I have heard from people smarter than me that there are chances for at least a hung jury (I think could be retried) and there's also another option called jury nullification, where the jury essentially says, "yeah we know he is guilty but we don't agree with the law in this case" and acquits.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Every jury I've ever been on has been hung, just by averaging alone

[-] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago

Aside from the nullification and hung jurys, there's a good chance for a mistrial from them parading him around and letting everyone in the US know he fought for them.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

No. He's going to die in prison. I'm not happy about that fact. I'm just telling the truth. Just like there's zero chance Charles Manson ever gets out. There's zero chance Luigi gets out.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 9 points 6 days ago

Might happen. Then when a sensible government gets in, somewhere down the line, we pardon him and make him secretary of HHS

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

I'm not smarter in the law, but I remember the OJ trial. Just because all the evidence points to the obvious conclusion doesn't mean that the result will be as you expect. Did the police do everything by the book, or is some of the evidence they're relying on tainted? Did a cop worry the evidence wasn't going to be enough and plant some more? Was he caught? Did they forget to read him his rights before interrogating him?

The trick with legal cases is that the prosecution basically has to avoid making mistakes, and it's up to the defense to find a mistake they made. One major difference between a public defender and an extremely expensive legal team is the number of flaws they can find in the prosecution's case before they run out of time.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

There is absolutely no way. That jury is going to be tampered with more than any you've ever seen in history.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

How is he going to defend against suicide with a bullet to the back of his head?

[-] Hello_there@fedia.io 15 points 6 days ago

Then slowed... then surged... then slowed... then surged... then slowed... then they had some orange juice and a muffin... and now they're surging again.
