Trump asked a federal judge on Monday night to indefinitely postpone his trial on charges of illegally retaining classified documents after he left office, saying that the proceeding should not begin until all “substantive motions” in the case had been presented and decided.

The written filing — submitted 30 minutes before its deadline of midnight on Tuesday — presents a significant early test for Judge Aileen M. Cannon, the Trump-appointed jurist who is overseeing the case. If granted, it could have the effect of pushing Mr. Trump’s trial into the final stages of the presidential campaign in which he is now the Republican front-run

The above comment is Fred Lapides or a Russian troll imitating the _uck out of him.

It is always "It looks like they got him this time", and then nothing.

Well it came out that Jack smith or Jack Shit or whatever the creep's name is redacted all the times Trump cooperated with archives etc. Why would Jack Shit do that? For the narrative to put out there in the news.

When it came out about Milley's Iran invasion plan, I question not Trump. I question why is Milley still in uniform other than he has a good tailor who endlessly lets out the hem?

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas headlined a 2017 program at McLennan Community College in Texas, his hosts had more than a speech in mind. Working with the prominent conservative lawyer Ken Starr, school officials crafted a guest list for a dinner at the home of a wealthy Texas businessman, hoping an audience with Thomas would be a reward for school patrons -– and an inducement to prospective donors.

Before Justice Elena Kagan visited the University of Colorado’s law school in 2019, one official in Boulder suggested a “larger donor to staff ratio” for a dinner with her. After Justice Sonia Sotomayor confirmed she would attend a 2017 question-and-answer session at Clemson University and a private luncheon, officials there made sure to invite $1 million-plus donors to the South Carolina college.

The Associated Press obtained tens of thousands of pages of emails and other documents that reveal the extent to which public colleges and universities have seen visits by justices as opportunities to generate donations -– regularly putting justices in the room with influential donors, including some whose industries have had interests before the court.

The documents also reveal that justices spanning the court’s ideological divide have lent the prestige of their positions to partisan activity, headlining speaking events with prominent politicians, or advanced their own personal interests, such as sales of their books, through college visits.

The conduct would likely be prohibited if done by lower court federal judges

Grand jury to be chosen ahead of potential Georgia Trump indictment

By Graham Kates, Nikole Killion, Clare Hymes

Updated on: July 11, 2023 / 1:25 PM / CBS News

A group of Georgians selected Tuesday to be grand jurors may soon consider charges against former President Donald Trump and allies who sought to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results, which he lost.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has indicated in letters to county officials that potential indictments in the case could come between July 31 and Aug. 18.

Ah, the past master of copy and paste 2:51 / 3:04 has struck again

So the PhD has nothing to say about Jack Shit redacting where trumped cooperated with the Archivist.

The PhD has nothing to say about Milley's Iranian Invasion Plans.

Is it a general's job to come up with invasion plans for a country unbidden, dun a sitting president to implement them, and undermine said president at every turn when the general does not get his way?

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), facing a barrage of criticism over a Monday night television interview in which he refused to say white nationalists are racists, relented Tuesday afternoon, acknowledging to reporters on Capitol Hill that they in fact are.

“White nationalists are racists,” Tuberville told reporters, after earlier exchanges with reporters in which he continued to insist that was a matter of opinion, a position that echoed his comments from an interview the night before.

Appearing on CNN on Monday night, Tuberville was given the opportunity to clarify remarks from this spring when he appeared to be advocating for white nationalists to serve in the U.S. military.

Tuberville said he rejects racism but pushed back against host Kaitlan Collins when she told him that by definition white nationalists are racist because they believe their race is superior to others. He said that was only her opinion and at one point in the back-and-forth characterized white nationalists as people who hold “a few probably different beliefs.”

Nationalist is not a dirty word. It depends on the collection of policies that a particular nationalist group has. Obviously the NAZIs were bad. Just because they were bad does not make any or every nationalist group before or after them bad.

Tuberville changed his tune because got beat down. The NAZIs beat down a lot of communist and inducted them into their war machine. So were those beat down by the NAZI in the street fights of the 1920s wrong in their belief the NAZIs were bad?

Since the dildo at 6L17 likes copy and paste, here goes.

Nationalism is Not Inherently Evil : r/unpopularopinion - Reddit

Nationalism is inherently bad for a number of reasons: 1- Nationalism's tenants will always lead to ugliness. Inherent in nationalism is the idea of othering. Nationalism cannot thrive without excluding people from the nation. In theory, that doesn't necessarily mean that you would hate the other.

Within hours of the Shelby decision, Republicans announced plans both to enforce laws that had been blocked by the federal government and to pass laws designed to prevent Democrats from casting ballots.

Greg Abbott, then the Attorney General of Texas, was first out of the gate, immediately declaring that the state would implement a voter identification law that had been barred under Section 5: “With today’s decision, the state’s voter ID law will take effect immediately. Photo identification will now be required when voting in elections in Texas.”

In a 2019 report, the liberal Brennan Center for Justice found that:

Overall, 25 states have put in place new restrictions since 2010 — 15 states have more restrictive voter ID laws in place (including six states with strict photo ID requirements), 12 have laws making it harder for citizens to register (and stay registered), 10 made it more difficult to vote early or absentee, and three took action to make it harder to restore voting rights for people with past criminal convictions.

All of which raises the question: How effective has the onslaught of state-level legislation been at raising the odds for Republican candidates?

The apparent answer: not very.

“Contemporary election reforms that are purported to increase or decrease turnout tend to have negligible effects on election outcomes,” Justin Grimmer and Eitan Hersh, political scientists at Stanford and Tufts, write in their June paper, “How Election Rules Affect Who Wins.”
