“In an open display of frustration, federal prosecutors on Tuesday night told the judge overseeing #Trump’s classified #documents case that a “fundamentally flawed” order she had issued was causing delays & asked her to quickly resolve a critical dispute about 1 of Trump’s defenses — leaving them time to appeal if needed.
The unusual & risky move by the prosecutors, contained in a 24-pg filing, signaled their mounting impatience w Judge #Cannon” #legal

One has to wonder about Cannon's mental competence, not merely her professional competence. Does she really not care that Trump is a proven criminal fraud and rapist? Is she an agent of a foreign power intent on destroying the US gov't? Cannon is starting to look like a malevolent psychopath herself with rulings that prevent a malevolent psychopath from facing a jury of his betters.
@GottaLaff
My definition of "psychopath" is likely more limited than yours, merely meaning that a psychopath feels no guilt or remorse. Psychopathy is more frequent among higher ranking members within a hierarchy, and psychopathy is an advantage in business when one can ruthlessly cheat and lie without moral restraint.
Cannon seems not to care about national security, that she is coddling a proven fraud and rapist who is criminally insane.
What explains it then? Fear? Stupidity? Ignorance?
David Hancock offered evidence that Rittenhouse not only failed the standard tests for entry into military service, but was permanently banned from applying to the Marines.

Now that the US imports 3 billion barrels of oil a day while simultaneously exporting 3 billion barrels a day, it seems that both importing and exporting oil should stop in the US. This zero-sum import/export game does nothing but keep oil tankers and dock workers busy with make-work, with pointless pollution and waste of energy moving oil back and forth across the ocean to no real purpose. We should just pull our of the ME at this point; those countries have nothing to offer us now.

As DeNiro said, he's a sociopathic, psychopathic, malignant Narcissist, and people are (finally) saying so, but, other than a few who worked for him, like Kelly, Mattis, and Tillerson, nobody says how stupid he is. And not merely stupid, but unimaginably ignorant for a person who went to school. I want to see a meme with a list of his incredible misconceptions, like nuking hurricanes, occupying airports during the Revolutionary War, and injecting Lysol to cure covid.
I’m also really tired of talking about this as a Republican/MAGA problem. It’s also a batshit stupid Americans problem. I just talked to two college-educated neighbors, fundamentally progressive, and quite well off, who aren’t going to vote because “both sides say the same kinds of BS.” Argh!

College isn't what it used to be by any means. When I took my degree in '66, a bachelor degree required two semesters of a slide-rule science (physics, chemistry, biology, or geology), two years of English, two semesters of calculus and analytic geometry, and two years of a foreign language. A degree meant you knew something. College today teaches intramural sports and some marketable skill or another, eg, a lawyer need not know anything at all except law, viz. the SCOTUS.

I wish the media would come to the realization that "it" isn't "literally insane", but the man who wants to give Europe to Russia is literally, actually, clinically insane. Reporters should be calling out Citizen Trump not simply over his "mental lapses", but his long history of criminally insane behavior, which includes rape, fraud, and the people he murdered by his intentional exacerbation of the covid pandemic.
Just say it! Citizen Trump is insane. What's he going to do, sue?

We (the US gov't) has long been on the wrong side of the LAW in Palestine. The Geneva Conventions were ratified by Congress and are part of the US law code as a result. The Geneva Conventions give occupied countries the right to resist military occupation by any means necessary, so for decades the US has been breaking its own laws by supporting the sadistic Zionists' military occupation.
Keeping a Zionist on as Secretary of State just asks for trouble in the Middle East.
After #Trump moved to extend pre-trial deadlines in the classified #documents case, #JackSmith files a scathing response.
The defendants “will stop at nothing to stall the adjudication of the charges against them by a fair and impartial jury of citizens,” the special counsel writes. #legal#TrumpIndictment

Neither will Judge Aileen Canon.
Joy Reid is pointing out that SCOTUS has said that abortion has to be decided by the states, when the Constitution is silent on the issue, but elections can't be decided in the states, where the Constitution calls for them to be.
