‘Very, very troubling’: Judges, lawyers flummoxed by Judge Cannon​

The jurist overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case in Florida has raised eyebrows and alarms with her latest order​

Lawyers and former judges said they are baffled by an order issued this week by the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s pending trial on charges that he mishandled classified documents — and believe her instructions suggest the case will not go to trial anytime soon.

“In my 30 years as a trial judge, I have never seen an order like this,” said Jeremy Fogel, who served on the federal bench in California and now runs the Berkeley Judicial Institute.

She’s a Trumper and, should he get elected, one never knows which lifetime judicial position she might get!

Just because you’re a judge doesn’t mean you’re above a little self-promotion!

Judge allows Trump and co-defendants to appeal order letting Fani Willis continue on 2020 election case | CNN Politics

A Georgia judge on Wednesday greenlit an effort by former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants to appeal the decision to allow Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue to prosecute the 2020 election subversion case there.

That said, Willis created this mess for herself and, more importantly, jeopardised an incredibly important case to the future of the United States with her incredibly poor judgement, and if I didn’t think it would hamper (or even tank) the case itself, I would support he being removed from it entirely.

I hope he had a seriously good dick, because between the two of them they’re fucking the whole country!

From your lips….!!!

Well , yeah , he's bringing back the convicted felon Manafort to bolster his campaign coffers from illegal, nefarious Russian sources so who knows. When it comes to breaking the law with Trump it's simply a case of "hey get in line"
Now the fucking shitgibbon is trying more revisionism by claiming what he meant to say was a "bloodless, bloodbath"
WTAF!!

Bringing Manafort back in is clear evidence things are not running well. Any decent campaign manager would be looking to distance Trump from his baggage.

Manafort is literally a traitor, pled guilty to defrauding the US and acting as an unregistered foreign agent.

And you have to ask what can he bring to the table. He was a conduit for Russian influence and money before, then he did a plea deal. The Feds will be all over him. Is this the best they have?

Isn't it tantamount to saying his campaign will be funded by Russia? How isnt that a security concern?

The thing that I find funny is the lack of zoning. Churches next to gun shops next to schools next to office buildings next to strip clubs next to empty lots filled with mud next to grocery stores.

Houston is pretty grim, though the area around Rice University is pleasant, and The Woodlands which is a planned development north of the intl airport (Bush) is very nice. But the weather is atrocious. Humid even in January.

While Houston is definitely one of my least favo(u)rite cities, I would inform those who have not been that Cleveland is called "the mistake by the lake" for a reason. I'd nominate that as my most uncomfortable travel destination. I also loathe Salt Lake City, though the mountains are quite lovely. The city, however, is awful.

Most underrated city in America is Pittsburgh. Most overrated is Miami. Work has taken me lots and lots of places -- I've been in 51 of America's 53 biggest metros, missing only Cincinnati and Virginia Beach/Norfolk.

Blimey, can't believe you haven't been to my neck of the woods. I've only been to about half of the big hubs, but I love it here in Virginia.

Williamsburg is as close as I’ve been. Yes, I need to. Spent very little time on the southeast coast generally — interiors of states but not the coasts.

Is Trump incontinent?


This seems like a fabricated smear job against Trump, otherwise it would have gotten a lot more media attention. MeidasTouch carried the story though - so either MeidasTouch isn't doing it's job fact checking their stories or this is true.

I'm secretly hoping this story is not true, otherwise...

Spoiler

no one can truthfully claim that Trump is full of shit.

LOL.

This claim has been floating around for years and the best evidence for it is probably that Trump hasn't said anything or taken any action on defamation or libel.

That said - I have absolutely no desire to defend Trump (and not targeted at you @BlueMoonAcrossThePond) but this whole line of attack makes me feel immensely uncomfortable. There are plenty of people out there (more than you would probably suspect), who struggle with bowel problems every day, whether it's crohn's or colitis or the impact of cancer. And as somebody with personal experience it is probably one of the worst problems you can have when it comes to public understanding - nobody understands it unless you have to deal with it. It's seen as taboo to mock somebody in a wheelchair, but somebody with bowel problems is totally fair game. I've had full on arguments with blues who feel it's okay to make fun of Darren Fletcher because of his ulcerative colitis. I get that people will say this is fair game because it's self-inflicted by drugs, but it's more about the impact mockery like this has on those fighting these battles day-in day-out. Again, you wouldn't mock somebody in a wheelchair, even if the reason is self-inflicted.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Trump and to think he is totally unsuitable for the role of President, bringing his physical health into it for me is only as relevant as to how much it prevents him from doing the job. Let's not be so quick to cede the moral high ground just because we hate somebody this viscerally.
