Treason has a very specific definition under US law. (Specifically written into the US Constitution) Trump isn't facing Treason charges.

He is facing charges of Willful retention of National Defense Information, obstruction of justice, and withholding records as well as making false statements. This is for the Florida case

He faces 10 counts of racketeering in Georgia

This case in DC over Jan 6 has conspiracy to defraud the US, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Apparently, the revised indictment for this case has Donald Trump as a political candidate, rather than president. He is going to argue that all of those actions he took were unofficial as they were connected to his candidacy for POTUS.

We might see the legal precedent for what constitutes an official act or not in this next court case. Or not. My predictions are that

  1. Prosecution is going to try and argue that certain actions that are part of the office of the president are not official acts, especially if they were not in writing
  2. Defense is going to argue the maximalist interpretation of official acts and presidential immunity
  3. There will be another appeal to the Supreme Court
  4. This case will be delayed until after the November election

My questions are

  1. How many charges are now possible to prosecute?
  2. What other precedent will this case set for future POTUS?

Officer! It's not my fault! The mailman was asking for it! He wouldn't have dressed like that if he wasn't

There's a thing on the stuffy r/credibledefense that might change your mind on pilot error. TL;DR the flight manuals and warning design failed the pilots and the checklists didn't communicate the urgency

If you want the really specific term, it's Jim Crow, after the Jim Crow laws passed in the south after reconstruction. The effects of Jim Crow reach us today and will for a long time

You see what makes a Nazi isn't actually killing millions of people. It's only killing millions of Russians. The reason why the Nazis are evil is not actually because they are evil but because they went against the Russians.

That's how many of the Russians see it anyway, and by extension many tankies. The only difference is tankies have to try and sound reasonable to a Western leftist audience.

That's the image I got. I actually had something else, (oops) but it looks similar. I don't know if Lemmy lets me post the whole image. I don't know if it's the original either, but I used this as a desktop background for years. I ditched it on the upgrade to 4k. Size is 1.2 MB

Why specifically Azov?

It's got quite a few years until it comes into full effect. I can definitely see diesel electric and eventually full electric big rigs coming online in the next few years. Especially at ports where there's a lot of standing around waiting for freight.
