"The brief due Thursday (9/26) – which is expected to exceed 200 pages, including exhibits, and is meant to convince courts Trump should be prosecuted for alleged obstruction and conspiracy criminal activity — is a rare avenue for evidence to be aired in court before a trial.

Chutkan of the DC District Court, in a six-page opinion, said she would allow such an outsized briefing because the Supreme Court, in its recent decision to give Trump’s actions while president immunity from prosecution, has directed her as the trial judge to look closely at facts in the case to decide if some allegations could move forward to trial."

    When you’ve convinced yourself of “muh both sides” everything that happens just further confirms it. Like if Trump were to end up behind bars. . .do you think this poster would all of a sudden realize that both sides are not the same? Nope. They would just convince themselves that Trump was actually an outsider. . .and then probably pretend that they maintained this position the whole time.

      Exactly. What they are really saying is that neither party particularly addresses the needs that THEY personally care for. They can’t see how one is toxic towards minorities while the other offers lukewarm support, as just one example.

        Neither side is implementing state capitalism with hundreds of billionaires, so of course lemmy.ml finds them both equally distasteful.
