Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

A ringing endorsement, a tv arbitration judge

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

Perfect for the ex-reality tv gameshow host.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure "arbitration judge" is the right term.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean that is what she is. None of her cases are criminal or of any consequence it's all arbitration, most of which is already determined off screen and played for entertainment on tv

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is she actually a judge though? That's a fairly meaningful term.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Huh, it looks like she was an actual judge prior to her TV stuff. Manhattan family court judge from 1982 - 1996.

TIL judge judy is still alive

[–] [email protected] 56 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you didn't know anything about her outside of her tv show, Judge Judy has always been a right wing POS.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

I mean, inside of her tv show she comes off as a mean-spirited bully who delights in humiliating people she sees as 'less' than her, so she's a right-wing POS there too.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 9 months ago

Fuck them both, and fuck Trump too.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Judge Judy, millionaire boomer is a Republican? I'm shocked...

And we should care what a washed up fake judge says, why?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

She’s been on tv longer than Trump has, too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Apparently those who want to make America white and misogynist again are nostalgic. Who would have thunk. /s

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My grandma would be super disappointed to find out Judge Judy was a piece of crap Republican. Wapner was better anyway.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

My grandma would pop an aneurysm if she found out Judge Judy weren't a Republican.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

Whadayakno, an opportunistic trash person that made a career out of exploiting the misery of others, is a fan of opportunistic trash people that make careers out of exploiting and perpetuating the misery of others.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

Funnily enough, I wouldn't be surprised if this actually boosts Haley if she can get it broadcasted enough.

Regular Judge Judy viewers are probably the exact demographic she's trying to reach at this point lol.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Well Trump's fucked now /s

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Glad I was right never liking her

Stupid, ol' douche nozzle.

Now who's peeing on who's leg and calling it "rain"?
