I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

A second set of pre-trial motions is due by Oct. 30.

Comey’s defense counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, said he expects that batch to include a motion regarding abuse of grand jury process and an “outrageous government conduct” motion.

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

I'm no fan of James Comey but I hope the rocket docket Eastern District of VA does not fail his demand for a speedy trial.
The prosecution isn't ready? They just got the case?
Too bad!
Being late to the party is no reason to unduly delay this ridiculous, vindictive show trial.

It seems to me that all this falls within the peripheries of white masculine rickety insecurities.
The excessive overreacting & prejudice against women & anyone who does not fall within their boundaries of social & cultural, traits, & behaviors they think it is to be male that they themselves fail.

The 9th circuit ruled the opposite. That the president’s power is not plenary, and that it’s subject to judicial review. I wonder why they gave him a do-over. Didn’t Trump sue over an edited Harris video?
