That was one of the rare instances where the video was actually worse than the article, jfc.

If that is your theory, DeSantis should be included in the except section, right?

Not saying you’re wrong, but surely DeSantis is aiming to be VP to trump.

At least in feddit (main German instance) there were a lot of posts offering up financial support, but it was declined because it was not needed.

I think especially the smaller communities wouldn’t have a problem coming with funds for hosting. Donations for lemmy developers have also increased significantly since the main exodus.

I get your scepticism, but I think the lemmy community for the most part wants this thing to “succeed” and is willing to chip in a reasonable amount.

Thanks. Tldr: lifted until the appeal is decided, or that was the plan until Smith filled the new motion.

Someine else said it already. While I want to see Trump in jail yesterday, I appreciate how thourugh they are. Don’t give him excuse to weasle out of it again. But with this many lawsuits and the amount of confessions we already have, this is looking really good by now.

The gag order in Washington, D.C., is not to be confused with the one that Trump violated Wednesday at his civil financial fraud trial in New York City. He was slapped with a $10,000 fine after appearing to call a law clerk “partisan.”

This getting better and better.

Why was the gag order lifted though? Would’ve been nice if it was in the article…

Oh man, the last part. But it really shows how much they must be struggling with everything that is going on. Not that I’m complaining, I think I’ve earned it after last couple of years.

Anybody have the article for us poor Europeans?

LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Volvo Cars (VOLCARb.ST) said on Tuesday that it will end production of any remaining diesel models by early 2024 as it heads towards becoming an all-electric carmaker.

“In a few months from now, the last diesel-powered Volvo car will have been built, making Volvo Cars one of the first legacy car makers to take this step,” the Swedish company said in a statement.

Majority owned by China’s Geely (0175.HK), Volvo has committed to going fully electric by 2030.

While a majority of the cars Volvo sold in Europe were diesel as recently as 2019, in 2022 they made up just 8.9% of the Swedish carmaker’s sales.

In August 33% of Volvo’s sales were fully-electric or hybrid models. The company did not break out how many of the remaining 67% combustion-engine models were diesel and how many ran on petrol.

Sales of diesel models have declined rapidly in Europe since Volkswagen’s (VOWG_p.DE) emission-cheating scandal and carmakers have been gradually reducing the number of diesel models available in their model lineups.

Diesel vehicles comprised more than 50% of Europe’s new car sales in 2015, but accounted for just over 14% of sales in July

Confirmed it seems

This year, the new android version will be released after/together with the pixel8 launch event.

The judge said he hoped the punishment would deter those dissatisfied by future election outcomes, showing that there is an “unambiguous and serious line” that cannot be crossed when contacting public officials.

I think this is a horrible argument. The dude should be punished under the law for the crimes HE has committed. Other people shouldn’t play a role in the judgement, as reprehensible as his actions were.

Other than that, very good read, but as always, it won’t reach the people that really should read it.

Does anybody know whether they’re planning to use all these convictions against trump supporters in the trial against trump? I bet there are a lot of testimonies stating that they wouldn’t have done xyz if Trump hadn’t riled them up.

Howell’s three-page ruling entered a default judgment finding Giuliani liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy and punitive damage claims. The court ordered Giuliani to cover Freeman’s and Moss’ attorney fees associated with discovery in the case. Giuliani will also have to pay punitive damages; that amount will be determined by a jury trial. Howell instructed the jury to consider that Giuliani was “intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about his financial assets for the purpose of artificially deflating his net worth” in determining punitive damages. 

I guess this will cost him a pretty penny then.

Howell denied Giuliani’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit in October 2022, and Giuliani had recently conceded in stipulations to the court that he had made false statements about the two women, though he said the concessions were intended to move the case forward and maintained his statements were constitutionally protected.  “While Giuliani does not admit to Plaintiffs’ allegations, he — for purposes of this litigation only — does not contest the factual allegations,” he said in a July 26 filing. 

You really can’t make even a tiny bit of this shit up. Unbefuckinglievable. He is going to die in jail, broke like a church mouse, isn’t he?

If he really has to use bonds man, things are not looking too good for him. At this point he has to consider whether cooperating is the better option or not, right?

It seems to me that this will escalate rather quickly between them.

I think this is the real issue here, jfc.

A Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom poll of likely Republican caucus voters released Monday found that Trump’s lead over DeSantis has grown by 5 points since his indictment in Georgia last week on 13 criminal charges related to trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.

His approval went UP after the indictment. This is absolutely insane and only shows how hopeless US politics has become. How do you roll that division back? Can you even roll it back if everybody wanted to? This cat is out of the bag and I don’t see it going back in there any time soon.

The only hope I’ve left is the division of the GOP itself. Let the extremists go somewhere else politically and it’ll hopefully lead to a more, what is the word again, fact based approach of politics when the extremists can be ignored because you don’t have to appease them.

If he gets convicted on Georgia, only the prison board of Georgia can pardon him, not even the Governor has that kind of power on georgia.

Last I heard they demanded to sign a pledge to support the gop candidate,otherwise you’re not allowed to participate.

Guess what trump had to say about that…

Wow, so the shit show begins even before we had even one gop debate. Article states you can’t participate if you don’t sign the pledge to support the eventual nominee.

This is going to be really interesting…

I get your point but there is a good solution for this.

Basically a feature request to have the option for multi subreddits or communities. This way we get centralized content without the disadvantages of decentralization.

That would be some illegalprolifetip. organize a party for nazis, white supremacists, wait until everybody has arrived, give out welcome drinks spiked with mdma. not saying anybody should do that, just spitballing here you know…
