    Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.

      And a particularly unqualified and ideological appointment, even by Trump standards.

        Idk trump standards are “do the opposite of what is good and right” so this seems right up the trump standards alley.

      Who’s the president right now? Wonder what he’s up to. Wonder if he’s fixing this. Wonder if he’s anything better than the capitalistic fascist of American conservatism.

    Fire her. She’s compromised and a Trump appointee that should have been recused.

      How?

      Wouldn’t she need to be to be impeached by the House? The house is controlled by the GOP. Even if a few republicans wanted to remove her, you would still need the GOP speaker to bring this to the floor.

          That’s not true.

          It still requires a simple majority to remove a speaker. In the case of Kevin McCarthy, the vote was 216 to 210, in favor of removal.

          What is new is that the GOP is allowing anyone to bring a motion to vacate to the floor. You still need a majority vote to oust someone, but any yahoo can now force the house to drop everything and vote on removing the speaker.

          That causes chaos and previously it required a higher bar to get a motion to vacate rolling.

        The prosecutor can request that she be removed from the case, but that’s extreme and, if fails, leaves him with a hostile judge that is also even more empowered than before.

        For what? No change? The status quo? I’d rather vote for America’s downfall so that the pain and terror Americans inflict overseas, is felt here in our borders.

        Americans love violence so much, why should you have peace in your streets?

      You’re assuming Trump will win the election. He won’t.

      Jesus, why do people forget that Trump lost an election while being president and while trying to tamper with it? What makes you think he will win this time?

        Remember when people balked at Trump being president back in 2014/2015 and then were very surprised come 2016 when he won?

        Don’t underestimate Trump

        Don’t be complacent… complacency is what put him in the white house the first time

        Peoples memories are short, the republican propaganda machine is huge, and trump didn’t lose decisively enough to reflect the damage he did to the country

          Yes, I remember this. But people have wised up. How do I know? Because Trump lost while being a sitting president, an event that doesn’t happen often. At least in 2015/2016, a lot of people were giving him the benefit of the doubt. And it wasn’t the majority (he lost the popular vote, as we all know.)

              Ignore the polls. Look at the trump signs around you. At least where I’m at in Florida, they’re probably at tenth of what they were in 2020. I was a republican in 2020 that voted for Biden and renounced my affiliation after the senate acquitted in the second impeachment. The only demographic that Trump is seeing increased support from is young men, a famously allergic to going to the polls group.

              We should fight like hell to make it a landslide but the polls published right now are only there to drive engagement. Democrats have outperformed the polls by 5-10pts in every election since 2020.

      Listen, I’ve seen this in every thread. The judges are just being extra careful so they can make sure the case doesn’t get thrown out because it’s a highly sensitive subject.

      Four years just wasn’t enough time. You have to be patient about these things. Give us another Friedman Unit or two to settle things out.

          They’re trying to conflate a right-wing judge’s bias with those biG bAd LibErAlS who defend Garland’s meticulous albeit slow investigation and hand-off to Jack Smith I guess.

        Not sure if sarcasm or not, but after following quite a few (yes, YouTube) lawyers on this subject, I think it’s fair to say that a lot of it actually is that; Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard. last thing you want is to convict him, have fox news pull the “they made a mistake” cars, and actually be right. Once trump goes to jail, you better be sure he stays there.

          Trump is sloppy, inept, and surrounded by people who routinely rat him out.

          He’s not slippery. He’s just standard-tier corrupt. That’s all it takes to defer prosecution indefinitely.

          Once trump goes to jail

          He’s not going to jail.

        No no no. This is just a very special exception to the Rules Based International Order we’ve always had.

        Normally, America is very good about prosecuting plutocrats. But this time Russia stopped us. We just have to beat Russia. Only then can we prosecute Donald Trump.

    It’s ridiculous, just let the FBI edit the evidence however they want so long as they get their convictions.
