Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I like how they say it needs to be delayed because he’s campaigning. Fuck that. Crimes come first.
Yeah, sorry I won't be able to pay that speeding ticket right now, I'm campaigning.
Oh, when will I be done? I suppose when the Galactic Council finally holds the vote to appoint me Supreme Galactic Overlord. Until then!
NO FAIR, THAT'S THE POSITION I WANTED!!!
Position already taken
Settle down there, Palpatine.
My guess is she'll grant a delay but won't cite his campaigning because she knows that won't fly with appellate judges.
She'll have enough other bullshit justifications to give Trump what he wants and get her kickback.
My understanding is that scheduling delays are not appealable, at least not by the prosecution. Judges have the right to set their own schedules.
She just doesn't want to look blatantly corrupt if and when anything does go to appeal though. She's doing her best to postpone this trial indefinitely while still maintaining something resembling plausible impartiality. I'm sure that when "Mid November 2024" comes around, she'll suddenly have another reason to delay because Trump will then be appealing the results of the election about 47 times, and heaven forbid her case interfere with that and after all that he's gonna need more time to prepare. So, January 2026 then? What? He'll be too old and suffering from dementia and therefore isn't competent to stand trial, even though he still appears on TV every day? Darn. I guess she'll just have to postpone this trial indefinitely. It's too bad......the people deserved to hear the truth, but whatever was she to do? The situation was completely unavoidable!!!
Hopefully he'll be in a Georgia prison by then. He can't pardon his way out of that one either.
No chance in Hell of that. She's going for blatantly implausible impartiality, at best.
The way she's acting, she might as well be thumbing her nose at everyone who isn't a fucking MAGA traitor and yelling "neener neener neener, you can't stop me!"
🤔 I wonder what was on those documents that the rest of the government is allowing this to happen to keep quiet.
I wonder for example if Trump dug up papers with nuclear secrets and tried to sell them. Ooh, or UFOs.
She's already been slapped down before for this case, couldn't that same authority do so again?
