Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.

Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.

If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.

Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.

Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.

Like many voters in rural Comanche County on the Oklahoma border, Ceballos said he “always voted for all the Republicans.”

Stupid or Evil don't make no difference to me, he's getting what's coming to him.

“I feel for Joe and the community, and I hope it can get worked out in the legal system,” Hoffman said.

How about the other thousands of people who had a right to Due Process but have been kidnapped or murdered by ICE? This guy is special? GTFO.

My goal was achieved then, you at least read the article before commenting.

Many people weren’t.

Fair perspective.

Serious question here. Do you think that someone’s voting history should determine how the law is applied? It sounds like your saying that because bad things happened to good people in the past (days, weeks, months, and currently happening) that we should not give Due Process to this person because of their voting history. When I read the article I didn’t get the sense that he was asking to get special treatment because he voted a certain way. I read it as a person scared and hurt, the exact same tone I have unfortunately read hundreds of times this past year.

Edit: formatting

Sir, this is a small consolation prize for failing to understand my meaning.

Due Process is for EVERYONE. Implying that it is a privilege only afforded to this camp or that camp is exactly what the Republicans are doing right now. This guy either A) didn't care that the person he voted for was threatening to take it away from "other people," or B) didn't even know what he was doing at all. But who cares what knot was used in the binding?
