Yeah, I see the "oh the judge might be worried about giving him ammo" or something, I don't give a f*ck how his lunatic fanbase will react, any other citizen would be thrown in jail, the law doesn't and shouldn't change because you have fans, the law should be applied equally. If I, a normal citizen, acted like Trump, I would have had a jail sanction thrown at me long ago.

I thought the reluctance to apply jail as a punishment also stemmed from a concern about backlash from Trump supporters.  But I now believe there is a more utilitarian reason for the reluctance - the logistical difficulty in incarcerating a former president.  Jurisdiction, custody, costs, etc...all would be vastly different than for a regular private citizen.  These need to be hashed out prior to any sentencing including incarceration for contempt.  The only difference with regard for the latter is that the courthouse has an onsite holding facility and the judge Merchan could remand Trump to it.  However, while that simplifies certain elements of the justification and custody questions, it doesn't resolve them completely.   NYPD, state police, the US Marshals and the Secrete Service all need to get the details squared away or else Trump may get away with nothing but chump change fines.

Don't let your stinkin' facts get in the way of these people's transphobic feelings!

Aileen Cannon postpones Trump's Florida trial indefinitely.

Judges won't hold blatantly hostile defendants accountable. Prosecutors won't hold blatantly compromised judges accountable. I am so fucking sick of this spineless, corrupt 'justice' system...

The writing was on the wall for the documents case since Federal judges have a lot of autonomy in how they proceed with their cases.  That judge was always just short of getting sent to the courts on her decisions and she played the whole thing within perfectly.  A lot of questionable stuff but nothing to really get her off the case and since its a one shot deal, you have to make sure you have enough evidence against her before going full throttle.  The thing is, this just open up room for the other criminal cases against Trump to go forward without worrying about scheduling.  While i do not believe any of these cases outside of the NY hush money case getting resolved before the election, its not like Trump is out of the woods.

He reportedly said he'd begun to experience "cognitive problems" and both short and long-term memory loss in 2010, not long after his uncle, the late Massachusetts senator Edward Kennedy, died from the effects of brain cancer.

But he received a second opinion from a doctor in New York who told him the cause of his problems — and a dark spot on his brain scans — was a dead parasite.

Mr Kennedy testified that the doctor had told him that the dark spot on the scans "was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died"

About the same time he learned of the parasite, he said, he was also diagnosed with mercury poisoning, most likely from ingesting too much fish containing the dangerous heavy metal, which can cause serious neurological issues.

‘I loved tuna fish sandwiches. I ate them all the time’

"I have cognitive problems, clearly," he said in the 2012 deposition. "I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me."

This explains so much.

Worm probably didn't have much to eat in fairness.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday officially triggered a vote on her motion to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson, but within minutes it was overwhelmingly rejected.

There were audible boos from lawmakers in the chamber as Greene spoke at length about her grievances with Johnson as she called for a vote.

The Georgia congresswoman, flanked by co-sponsor GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, asserted Johnson has "not lived up to a single one" of the promises he made the Republican conference after he was elected to the top post in October.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise rose to request the vote on tabling Greene's resolution, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The final vote to dismiss of Greene's motion was 359-43 with seven lawmakers voting present.
