What you're talking about is irrelevant, because the judge will operate in a manner that is consistent with her original ruling, and that insulates her from pushback or criticism. What happened a year ago is directly relevant here because it set the outcome.

This is a great grandpa joke 🤣

It's hard to type how I was saying it. Basically like Galactic where you put emphasis on the second syllable.

Deep Rock galAXy

Did anyone else read this as Deep Rock Gal-axey?

One challenge, however, is that the forgiveness is going to be taxable next year and my wife who is a teacher, will have a significant amount forgiven that is two payments away that can't be bought back before that point. Others like us will still be impacted this way, which sucks.

She requested to be in the buy back program but they take ages to reply so we're at the mercy of this and time.

Fucks! My wife has two payments left for her public service loan forgiveness and she can't even make a payment while this shit is happening, because PSLF people are lumped in with this also.

Dammit, toilet paper and paper towels are made in the fucking USA, and this is only affecting the East coast dockworkers, and I still can't get a single pack of TP to wipe my ass in Colorado. Mofos

Not to mention gerrymandering and voter intimidation / voter suppression in addition to the purging of rolls that you mentioned which also exist and are in play at all times.

You're not quite correct, It's actually much more nuanced than that. I'll reply as soon as I'm off work and can put the right amount of effort into it.

EDIT - Here's where your reply is incorrect -

Trump says it would be unfair to air this info before the election because he has a gag order, and because the government wants to release everything and Trump isn't allowed to say anything. Judge Chutkan said that none of that is true - the gag order doesn't say that, and the government's position was ACTUALLY that they wanted to seal everything in this case a year ago when they were going over the protective order to determine what to release to the public. At that time, Jack Smith wanted to seal ALL the sensitive AND non-sensitive evidence. Trump opposed this and stated that there needed to be transparency and that the public needed to see the information (because he wanted to get the witness list down in florida). Back then Judge Chutkan ruled that only sensitive material should be redacted, ruling against Jack Smith's desire to redact EVERYTHING. Judge Chutkan's reasoning here was that for transparency reasons, the public had the right to see the non-sensitive material, which at the time Trump saw as a win for him.

Trump has now changed his position on this, since August of last year. Jack Smith wanted it all sealed, Trump wanted it all public, arguing that the sealing of it would violate his first amendment rights (because he wanted to use the evidence to intimidate witnesses and try the case in the court of public opinion). Now he wants it all under seal because there's an election coming. Judge Chutkan replied that "defendent's concern with the political consequences of these proceedings does not bear on the pre-trial schedule - what needs to happen before or shouldn't happen before the election is not relevant."

So, because she ruled on Trump's behalf in this case back in August, same rules apply now. She ruled against Jack Smith's ask to seal everything - he wanted ALL info redacted in his original request.

So, again I will say, you don't get it both ways Diaper Don!

I got this information from former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe and Dr. Allison Gill on the Jack podcast, Episode 96.

Actually, here's the awesome and ironic part - Jack Smith wanted this to all be under seal, Judge Chutkan disagreed and took Donald's older request to have the previous filings only redacted for sensitive info, like witness names, and had the rest be publicly available.

Of course now Donald didn't want this one to be public, lol. Can't have it both ways, Diaper Don.

Even the factual proffer section on page 3 and 4 is insane, and should and would be immediately disqualifying in any other universe

Trump has to win ~~we must push for paper ballots and voter ID, and fucking California bans voter ID, motherfuckers~~ an all expense paid trip to FUCKING PRISON WHERE THAT RAPIST FELON BELONGS AND DESERVES TO SPEND HIS LAST OF HIS DAYS WITH FELLOW INMATES
