I'm beginning to think RawStory exaggerates their headlines for clicks. An organization has asked a court to arrest them, a FAR cry from facing immediate arrest.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

RawStory faces immediate arrest for spreading disinformation and falsely representing ongoing legal situations!
Ha, I wish!
Edit: Wait... If we send a message to a court, we can make it happen!
Also, gotta ask, is your name from the old Marvel villain or?
Nope, that bastion couldn't tolerate the existence of mutant powers. This bastion, not only has no problem with mutant powers, but downright enjoys them.
I notice you're not denying the super powered robot from the far future part...
I think that if you're a robot boop capable of enough complexity (including having a tendency towards dynamically stable emotive field states), and can interface with a body and society well enough to remain comparatively indistinguishable from a human, that makes you human, right? beep anyways, time is relative, right?
Organization seeks 'immediate arrest' of Trump and Vance over Springfield hoax
Fixed the title. I read nothing to suggest that Trump or Vance are currently in any danger of being arrested in Springfield, Ohio.
"i'm still voting for trump!"
--this fucking guy
All the lawfare makes me more likely to vote for Trump every day.
Seeing the existing power structure try all this anti democratic bullshit to take him down makes me think he must have something they don’t.
More likely to vote for a bigot & rapist? Sounds good lol
Hang 'em both.
"there's no room for political violence"
LOL /s
fuck both those ass holes
In case anybody doesn’t feel like disabling their ad blocker, here’s a bypass link: https://12ft.io/https://www.rawstory.com/trump-vance-criminal-charges/
Why would you need to disable your ad blocker? If it's detected, then you're obviously not using a good one.
"There's nothing special about Trump and Vance that entitles them to get away with what they've done and are doing," the attorney added. "They think they're above the law. They're not."
Except for the Senate Republicans who would not hold their own accountable for crimes they committed or the federal supreme Court Justice feeding Trump's attorney legal advice to use in the lower courts. And the billions in PAC funds and trinket grifts used to campaign for politicians and appoint judges who are loyal to them above the Constitution and citizens. And anything Trump did as president is legal if he says it was part of the job. Except for those facts sure they're just like you or me in the eyes of the law.
Yeah, you can't even pretend that Trump isn't above the law when the Supreme Court has literally ruled that he is at their discretion.
Technically the ruling was for ~~crimes~~ official acts he committed while in office.
He's no longer president and holds no privilege, except being the Republican nominatee for President. Which apparently is a protected class.
even as a president, this wouldn't be protected under the immunity act, only presidential actions. Speaking to the public, as far as i am concerned is not considered to be a core "presidential action" in the government.
SCOTUS has decreed that SCOTUS alone can determine what is an official act.
while this is true, they still have a basis to operate under. There are certain things that aren't official acts. Posting on social media wouldn't be one. There are things that are, and those have absolute immunity (bad) there are also things that have presumptive immunity (which means you have to rule on whether or not these are admissible evidence) and this has had a direct effect on the jan 6th hearing, removing like 9 pages of communication between government officials, which is about all they could remove from the hundreds of pages that were there already.
Well that's one way to keep them out of your city while campaigning. Can we do that here in MI? I'm sick of them being here every week.
Have an immigrant file a suit for libel (or slander...I forgot which is which. Hell, both).
Trump isn't ever going to actually go to jail. That would set a precedent for us to actually keep our political leaders accountable, and that ain't happening.
If anything, they've done everything to excuse outright corruption in the US government. SuperPACs, bribes, it's all getting legitimized. You can't even hear reports criticizing civil asset forfeiture not only because the practice is so widespread, but now people are more concerned about even worse things. A massive and overcrowded private prison system being used as a system of low or non-existent labor akin to slavery? Last decade's news.
Please, tell me how the US was founded as a revolution from tyranny and corruption again. Was that the policy when manifest destiny trampled on native American lives and left them in enclosed casinos? The US has always been about colonizers and subjugation, and even to this day continues to support modern world colonizers who, lacking the absence of modern civilization, rationalize the natives as militants when they oppose and make sure to place them besides terrorists. It speaks volumes to the sad state of global affairs that they are still the better option in terms of global superpowers to ally with.
The US compares itself to and lets itself be shaped by the lowest common denominator. Anything better, too socialist - but nevermind the small group of oligarchies power is organized around who do get the socialist treatment anyway.
