Prosecutors argued that it was actually the Earth which revolved around the Sun, and not the other way around. Judge Aileen "The Fix Is In" Cannon said she would consider the motion.

It would honestly take one public and humiliating asskicking go get Trump in line and he'll never get it. He so badly needs it, just all his toys and faux-dominance taken away in one felon swoop

And this is the guy that for some strange reason, people here want you to not vote against.

If you vote 3rd party you're still voting against Trump. It's just not in any meaningful wall.

Most of us aren't in states where our vote matters to start. Giving third parties federal funding and ballot access is meaningful.

That's the most frustrating thing about all these back and forths. So much angst and arguments when the first question that needs to be asked is "do you live in a state that's in play?" If not, then you don't need to tell anyone who you're not voting for and no one needs to tell you you shouldn't, because your vote doesn't matter and you're not making the decision based on who you'd prefer to see in the White House. Deep-X votes are being decided in relation to their irrelevance and both shouldn't be shamed as supporting migrant death camps and also shouldn't be an opinion someone in a swing state should look to when making their own decision.

I'm in a deep blue state. Usually I vote for Democratic presidential candidates merely to drive up the popular vote total and make the argument against the electoral college stronger. That's all my (presidential) vote is worth, so if I decided not to cast it, it's in that context, and someone in Georgia should be making their decision in an entirely different context and ignoring the position declarations of people whose votes really don't matter.

What's the gag order gonna do? He's ignored all the gag orders placed on him. Gonna make him pay a fine again?

And that was from a "tough" judge who was doing everything he could not to jail him. Eileen Cannon is absolutely not going to meaningfully enforce a gag order. And she'd probably set aside 3 weeks to hear motions for each violation before refusing it.

More rope to hang himself with...I hope.

We'll find out in a little over two weeks.

Jesus Christ can we just lock him away? Why does he get to run for office, get more money for being a charged criminal, while us plebs have to worry about cops shooting first and asking questions later?

Gag him, but it won't do dick when he's already been gagged and violated it, and courts take forever for the richest and most corrupt fuckers on the planet. He needs to be in jail for his crimes. (Yes I know you can run for office from jail, Eugene V. Debs did it when he was arrested for protesting the draft of WW1.)
