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!

The Florida federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago case seemingly shot back at federal prosecutors on Friday. After they warned the judge that Trump was trying to “manipulate” her by seeking further delay, she came back with a curt response: their warning was too long.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida reportedly signaled at a Wednesday hearing that she would likely add another delay to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, currently scheduled to be held in May.

At the hearing, Trump’s attorneys emphasized that they needed another delay in part because of the parallel January 6 case brought in D.C. Both the trial date and other scheduling issues, Trump’s lawyers said, “require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”

The judicial branch is horribly broken when an obvious hack like Cannon isn't forced to resign in disgrace.

The Republican Senate broke the judicial system under Trump. They blocked Obama from appointing judges and then when Trump was in office they appointed TONS of their own shitty, unqualified judges.

Trump literally broke the NFL back around the 80s. Nobody would sell him a team because all the real billionaire owners hated him. He started a second league so he could have a team, poached players, and then broke both leagues on purpose. It's been a while so the details are fuzzy, but I believe they had to cut a season short or even skip a season. He fucks everything up, and at least half the time it's on purpose.

Oh, they are qualified. They sure are qualified to also fuck things up, also intentionally.

The way she acts makes me doubt she is even qualified. It feels like some random Karen that got her position via connections.

Sadly her educational background looks like that of a typical lawyer, so it might just be plain old corruption. She is returning a favor for her most recent appointment.

If you don't want to be stretched thin between two disparate courts maybe don't go on a 4 decade cross country crime spree.

Have you considered the fact that it's everyone else's fault for not stopping them? LOOK WHAT WE MADE THEM DO!

I mean... If someone gets away with all this really dumb and.blatant fraud he committed for decades and the public notices only now... Prosecutors share part of the blame.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Lots of the Public noticed and were ignored by the fact that Wealthy connected folks aren't subject to the same Laws the rest of us are.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

Open and shameless corruption. Can't believe she's in any way involved.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I don't understand why they didn't motion against her in the first place. Can't they just strike her?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Sorry... she wants a lawyer to be terse?

Didn't she go law school?

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

When can the DOJ go above her head like last time?

This is insane that it's going to he delayed until after or even near the election
