On Cannon, we need to start talking more about who is advising her. Surely it’s Leo Leonard and his cohorts. She’s not smart enough to do what she’s (not) doing - someone’s got to dig around and find out who the puppeteers are.

Thanks David, as always.

Absolutely agree...Cannon's gross inexperience and prickly nature directed to the prosecution, plus her severe dress-down earlier by the 11th CA points to some serious coaching on the sidelines to avoid prosecution motions to reconsider - or worse - all the while expertly stalling out the trial to virtually disappear ANY trial dates for this year.

A disgrace to the federal court system, and an insult to meaningful justice.

Where are the paparazzi when we need them? Aileen Cannon has to be the only person so prominent in the news for over a year to have only one single image findable on the internet. That smirk...

David, is there such a legal

maneuver an attorney can file

against a judge, called an

affidavit; It's like a recusal. If

so, is it available in all states?

I agree Cannon needs to be

investigated, by any means

possible.

Anyone who still believes

Mike Johnson was the meek

little back bencher, who just

happened to get elected

Speaker of the MAGA house

and had nefarious dealings

with the 2020 legal services

to Trump, needs a very

serious examination of their

brains.

She will put it off as long as DOJ acquiesces. DOJ should've filed at least dozen recusal motions by now. In fact at this point DOJ needs to drop the case in Florida and file it in DC which is where the actual crime of theft took place. I will never understand the reasoning for filing in Florida. Probably what will happen though is at some point she will dismiss the case and DOJ will be all herp derp a poo poo whaddya gonna do...

Good to see the NYT give column-inches to what a second tRump Reich would do in practice, and to fully recognize that the POS says what he means, and means what he says, end of.

I am 68 years old. Until he who shall not be named came on the scene I had never hated anyone. Now I hate him and a bunch of other folks. It is a soul sickening feeling. I am working on it with a therapist. Not to stop hating but to stop it sickening my soul.

Remember in November: *Dobbs* and *convicted felon*, nothing else is of any consequence.

On the purposelful delay of

the ScOTUS opinion on Trump's Immunity"claim there were 3 published opinions today, 6/6, 2 unanimous & one decided 5/4, on appropriation matters.

The Big News: There was still NO opinion on Trump's bogus immunity claim.

TBH the Cannon news came very close to me rerunning my preference that Trump be tried in the court of public opinion rather than risk an acquittal on any of the remaining criminal cases. (An acquittal in the NY election fraud case would have been dismissible for the same reason some were dismissive of it before it was tried--that is, that crime was something of a technicality.)

But taking a pass on that.

But that news in the bulk of the post... just contemplating it was triggering to me so I'm presuming it would also be triggering for some here. So I'm taking a pass on saying anything more on that either.

I maintain my preference that he be hanged, drawn and quareed - publicly. The traditional punishment for treason.

As to the rest of The Stupids... "If my thought dreams could be seen, they'd put my head in a guillotine."

The thing I’d pay to watch on the TV. Doesn’t have to be a D&Q, although that would be best. Any form of post-natal abortion would work for me.

That’s some BS on surge pricing. It’s great for the high end commuters that can afford the surge pricing, while making it unaffordable for people on lower income scale.
