Former President Trump on Monday formally demanded the recusal of the federal judge overseeing his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, D.C.

Trump’s attorneys cited statements U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan made while sentencing two previous Jan. 6 defendants that appeared to reference Trump, arguing the comments create a perception that Chutkan prejudged Trump’s guilt before he was charged.

    I do have to say…I’m loving Lemmy just for the crowd. Normally on Reddit, I’d be sorting through a mass of racist shitheads defending their shithead leader for an article like this, but most people here are just having conversations, whether they agree with the position of the linked content or not.

    It’s nice.

          Why do people always do this? Just because you mention something you don’t like doesn’t mean you’re thinking about it all the time.

          Someone did this to me the other day on Lemmy. It was a post about something I thought of years ago and people laughed at me at the time and then I saw the article about it and commented, “fuck those people” and some person told me I should let go of the anger I’ve felt over this for years. I was like, “I haven’t even thought about this for years.”

            Some people on Lemmy take your every post as a reflection of your personality and the truest part of your subconscious; whereas most of us are just wasting some time on the can…

      There are a few shitheads on lemmy.world.

      Certain subreddits were alright.
