For the "crime" of not being a far right Republican and for the "crime" of Trump having been impeached twice. Those are the only "crimes" that these extremists care about. They also don't care that, even if they convince 50%+1 Representatives to vote to impeach, this will die in the Senate. They'll impeach Biden three times just so Trump isn't the most impeached President and they'll claim that their purely political impeachments somehow prove that the impeachments of Trump were purely political as well

Apparently, those subreddits are now not only open, but completely unmoderated. Reddit's solution was to remove the mods and put nobody else in charge. I'm sure that won't backfire in any way whatsoever! /s

Email: "Hi, this is IT. It looks like your password is expired. Please change your password by clicking this link. Ignore the weird from address and the fact that the link obviously goes to a noncompany website. We're really from your IT department. Promise!"

Way too many users: "Yup. This looks legit. Better coick that link and enter all of my information right now!"

And then you've got to add in that Trump likes to pressure his attorneys to do illegal things which could result in THEM being tried for crimes.

Trump is perhaps the worst client a lawyer could possibly represent.

I learned how dangerous dehumanization is when I went on a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC. (SIde note: I recommend going there. It's not a "happy" place to visit, but it's an important one. Give yourself half a day for the museum and half a day to mentally recover. )

At one point, you can go through or around one of the train cars that transported Jews to the death camps. I walked inside and stopped. The plaque had said how many people were crammed inside, but I couldn't mentally fit that many people in the train car.

Then, I realized my mistake. I was trying to fit PEOPLE. Even though the people I was trying to fit in were imaginary, I was still treating them like people. Once I tried fitting human shaped objects into the train car, I could easily fit that many.

Once you dehumanize a group of people, the door is opened to do anything you want to them because all societal guardrails for the treatment of your fellow humans are removed.

Has anyone checked Jack Smith for adamantium claws?

Either that or "I don't believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry."

They only recognize that something is real when it affects them personally. If it doesn't then they'll either claim the thing doesn't exist or will say it's that person's fault that they are going through that (likely for being "too lazy" to pull themselves up by their bootstraps).

Trump keeps claiming that he's being treated differently and he's right, but not in the way he means it. He's not being persecuted. He's being treated with exceptionally soft kid gloves.

He was given multiple chances to return the stuff he took. He was asked politely before a subpoena was issued. He was given time between the subpoena and the raid to turn everything over. After the raid, he wasn't immediately arrested and tossed behind bars. They even allowed him to come in and skip some procedures like being handcuffed and getting his mugshot taken.

He's been given way more considerations than anyone else who committed even remotely the number of infractions that he committed would get.

If Trump wants to not get treated differently, I'm all for it. Arrest him and toss him in jail while he waits for his trial. As a bonus, suddenly his usual tactic of delay, delay, delay won't be as attractive.

So his defense is to just say "not guilty - I didn't do anything wrong"? I mean, that's a perfectly valid plea to start with (as opposed to "guilty - I totally did that stuff"), but it's not a legal defense. If all his lawyers can muster during the trial is "our client says that he didn't do this and it's all a witch hunt" then he'll be going to prison for a long time.

I think he's calling out the fact that the justification for the API pricing changes was partially "we've got to stop AI training bots from scraping Reddit." However, the pricing changes were actually made to hit third party developers hard and not hit the AI modelers that hard.

I'd go with pathological liar given how he alleged that the Apollo developer threatened Reddit - allegations which the Apollo developer proved false by releasing the audio of the phone call - and then Spez doubled down on the allegations while saying the developer shouldn't have released the audio. Basically, "I'm going to defame you and you providing proof of me lying about you isn't allowed."

R/Conservative does moderate. They ban anyone who even whispers anything slightly against their political views. Even if it's quoting Trump himself.
