    Boo fucking hooo. He had no issues when “Judge” rubber stamp Cannon was handed the most important cases he ever faced and held up to her name, literally defending him as opposed to actually being a judge…

    Crybaby “strongman.”

      I saw someone else say “crybully” and I liked that phrase.

    “No way to win!”

    Wild suggestion, but have you tried, I dunno, not flagrantly breaking the law and then ignoring the court orders that are handed down after breaking the law?

      When Peter Navarro was in court for his treason, he would attempt to address the reporters every day, so he could beg for money. Every day, there was a woman who stood behind him, yellling or blowing a whistle whenever he talked, and holding up signs.

      He’s a short little dick, and she was tall, so he tried to yank a sign out of her hands, but she just held it up out of his reach, and said “Havent you committed enough crime today?”

      Fucking HILARIOUS, and all in front of the media. The most effective strategy was blowing the whistle as he tried to talk, because it totally drowned him out. Most days he just walked away in frustration.

    See, he ASSUMES there’s “no way to win” and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they’re “against republicans/trump/whoever”

    Why?

    Because that’s exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can’t imagine a world where someone else isn’t just as shitty as they are.

    Projection. Insecurity.

    I mean, there’s no way to win, but that’s because this is one of those things that can’t be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I’m not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

      This exact judge previously shot down an attempt to obtain Trump’s tax returns.

      It’s like he must be looking at something besides the caption to decide these cases. I wonder what that could be?? So mysterious. </s>

    One does not normally win a court case by stacking the deck in your favor with a judge who agrees with you, but by being within the law. Have you tried not being wrong? I hear that helps quite a bit.

      Ok, I came here to say the exact same thing, but you said it much better than I would have.

      Half a meter up their own ass, explaining how the content shared “wasn’t really war plans” so it basically doesn’t count.

      The one who vote Republican are saying because Dems wouldn’t hold Dems accountable, there’s no reason for them to hold Republicans accountable.

      The ones who vote D are saying this is exactly what excusing illegal behavior from Dems leads to: Republicans doing it worse and with less competence making it a bigger problem.

      Like, you don’t get that? It’s not exactly hard to figure out on your own and they haven’t been quiet about their opinions.

      Excusing illegal actions by neoliberals we don’t even want, just makes it easier for Republican voters to believe both sides are the same amount of shitty. And makes people less likely to vote D, because D voters tend to have standards

      Hell, our last president violated US and international law, but the party (at that time) refused to do anything about it. Now trump is doing it, and the same fucking neoliberals that refused to hold Biden accountable a few years ago won’t stop screeching about fucking Hillary.

      You all are the reason Dems are impossible. Nobody wants a party run by uncharismatic assholes who think trump gives them a blank check to do anything they want

      It doesn’t, and acting like it is why trump keeps getting elected.

      I just don’t understand how people who willingly choose to spend their free time talking about politics remain ignorant to very obvious shit like this. Gas no one tried explaining any of this or do you just call anyone who criticizes a politician with a D by their name some stupid trump like nickname?

          Right…

          Some of the people that wanted Hillary held responsible for breaking the law also want trump held accountable.

          A lot of people act like that isn’t a real view and anyone who says it just really hates their team.

          That’s what most of the comments here are doing anyways

            I am yet to see any prominent Trump supporter, media person, or company call out this behaviour.

            That would imply that the vast majority are duplicitous.

            Now obviously we are all subject to algorithms so I might just not being presented with that content.
