In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.
  • The court system is loosely based on public opinion. Since it’s unreasonable to gather the public’s opinion, a jury is selected to represent “the public”.

    In this case, the election essentially allows you to get the actually public’s opinion. You literally cant get closer to true “court of public opinion” that having a nationwide vote on a recently convicted individual candidacy.

  • No, it’s not mob justice.

    Generally, “unfair justice”, like mob justice is assessed by undue, unjust, or extreme punishment. Lack of punishment is not “unfair justice”. The US goes as fair to explicitly ban “double jeopardy” as it does not want “innocent “ people to face undue hardship.

    In this case, the possible punishment is 100% within the legal system. At worst, trump receives the same punishment as any other criminal convicted of the same crimes. At best, Trump receives a lighter punishment as the result of the election. There is nothing undue or just about a lighter punishment.

    Mob justice is a problem as it doesn’t allow for due process and proper representation. The “convicted” often ends up with non-reversible punishment (like mutilation or death) based on arbitrary “mobs”. Since the only outcome here is a reduced sentence, there isn’t an argument for mob justice.

    TLDR: mob justice and similar “undue trials” really only care about wrongful convictions. Wrongful “not guilty” decision are not a “problem”

  • While I am not a defender of Trump, I think this decision is largely reasonable. It’s essentially punting sentencing to the court of public opinion. That’s the ultimate “justice”.

    Here’s the thing, he’s already convicted of the crimes. The voting public knows this. If the voting public still votes him in , they’re essentially saying they’re okay with the crimes he’s committed. You really can’t get a better court of public opinion than a national election like this.

  • How do y'all cope without meds?
  • I find that pre-workout mixes with caffeine and creatine tend to help me.

    Just worth noting, creatine causes your muscles “soak up” more water so you’ll need to drink more to keep the rest of your body hydrated.

  • Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)?
  • The Gaza posts always make me laugh because they completely ignore that Trump would just glass Gaza.

    The only reason Trump hasn’t showed how terrible he’d be on Gaza is because he isn’t president right now.

  • Walk-thru
  • You’d think, but my bank is actively becoming hostile towards people walking in.

    My debit card literally never works at the ATM, so I just take the 2 minutes to walk in and fill out a withdrawal form. It’s fine for the occasional need for cash.

    Last time, they basically told me, in the future were requiring your debit card for security. There isn’t any reason for you to come in.

  • Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI
  • You’re not kidding.

    The only possible way I could see a defense if it were something like “AI CSAM results in a proven reduction of actual CSAM”.

    But. The defenses aren’t even that!

    They’re literally saying that CSAM is okay. I’m guessing a lot of these same comments would argue that deepfakes are okay as well. Just a completely fucked up perspective.

  • Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars
  • I don’t know, I love having a big screen in my car. Navigation is bigger, so it’s much easier to glance down and find navigation references.

    I still have all of the critical functions, too.
