2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Even if true, so what?

Is that really something the judge is meant to consider?

Yes. I've seen lots of news stories mention elderly criminals being given early release, lighter sentences, house arrest, etc. because of their general state of health.

Just to be clear, I don't think Giuliani has any health problems that would warrant special treatment.

This is a civil case, though.

The DTs are no joke but luckily I'm sure the prison doctors have seen it before and would be perfectly capable of treating him.

Boo hoo.

It's not like he was being a good steward of the money anyway. We all saw his hair spring a leak on national television.

It's not really relevant in this case, but I rarely miss an opportunity to reminisce about the time that Rudy's hair sprung a leak on national television.

All of this would be so comical if it wasn't actually evil.
