My comment on YouTube was that it looks like Canon got her law degree from a vending machine. That MTN video was hilarious.

The time has come. We the People are the media now. I mentioned this elsewhere today. I may be able to find a link to it if someone links to it or replies to it later. Anyhow it mentions we may have to hire private investigators to get any real journalism done. At least looking for shady back room deals and stuff shouldn't be super dangerous.

Anyhow we can have an entire discussion on that point alone. If you want to, we can. If you don't, no use trying to sell you on the idea.

I like that and yes--very worthy of discussion--the MSM is falling down hard on the job.

This is worth discussing.

What you propose can and should scare the daylights out of network media “news”.

Cannon is so out of her league. Jack needs to get her ass removed from the case. She intends to dismiss after the jury is seated, which brings double jeopardy into play. That can't fucking happen.

IKR, he needs to remove her before the case goes to trial.

Agreed and sets horrid precedent for the President ;-). Seriously though--she is the worst and I don't see why she can't be recused. Her own admission that she doesn't understand the law should be enough.

*Her own admission that she doesn't understand the law should be enough.*

I had to stop and re-read that. The very idea that a JUDGE doesn’t understand the law she’s sworn to uphold just blows me away. I never, ever thought we would see this kind of bullshit on a day to day basis…, and yet here we are.

Lee, and it gets so much worse. Not only does a federal judge not know the law, Cannon is a partisan hack presiding over one of the biggest cases in this county's history. If that doesn't keep one up at night, nothing will.

I was coming here to say just that. Cannon IS out of her league. She’s obviously flawed. Gotta get her outta there.

I truly think she has stumbled enough to be removed--all the CYA in the world is not going to save her. Jack has to move on her before the trial.

I moisturize, use sunscreen, take Helioplex daily, drink water ans berry smoothies, but these ejits and the stress they inflict are rapidly aging me.

Is it just me, or was cannon’s tone thoughout very contentious and antagonistic?

Almost as if (ahem) she is highly biased (oh say it ain’t so)

Isnt there adequate evidence to go to the 11th Circuit, and short circuit her prejudice against The People (us! That’s us she’s against!) and for the tRump?

Her tone was accusatory, whiney, and aggrieved. She needs to be yanked. Im hoping this letter adds weight to getting a nonpartisan judge asap.

I know right--she sounds like a petulant child with a law degree. "Why didn't you tell me?" Gurl, ain't it your job to know this shit? Why do you think that counsel has to tell you what you should already know. And she acted as if Jack Smith just brought the point up. He brought it up the moment she signed the order. Smith can use all that in his effort to remove her.

Aileen: “I don’t need to know any details, Mr Special Counselor or whatever your title is. I’m pretty, okay? Men look at me and they like what they see; them bitches hate me because I’m the prettiest. President Trump is going to send me to the Supreme Court because I’m pretty, okay? That Alina bitch wishes she were me. She wishes. Anyway… Whatever this is, it’s your fault, and I would like to bring it up with your supervisor, right now.”

I suspect tRump has promised her SCOTUS so she is highly motivated to see him win. Can’t prove it, but it would make sense.

Trump in a ball gag...I got a visual on that, and now I have to put out my mind's eye...

I really like the idea of an "independent" judiciary. But like tenure in higher education, a system designed to protect academic freedom or judicial independence from undue influence just ends up in many cases protecting incompetence and bias.

To your first point:

🤮

To your second point:

🎯

It is a good idea in theory but it’s fragile (like democracy) and perhaps too self regulating. I know judges can be impeached but that’s a difficult thing to pull off.

When I studied control theory and estimation systems years ago, something that struck me was the necessity to make our systems "robust" (can maintain an even keel, not chasing willy-nilly after every new input) without making them "smug" (impervious to change or correction).

Clearly, we don't want our judiciary to bend like a reed to every political wind. One approach to that is to create lifetime appointments. But we also need to have a way to protect the system from a judge who might be inept, or clearly biased, or apparently willing to accept millions of dollars in gifts from highly place benefactors (purely hypothetical example, of course).

It's a fine balance that I feel we used to be better at.

Simply put, she’s incompetent. She’s not ready for a case like this. Way too little experience.

BTW, where on this green earth did Cannon get her law degree?! It is not the job of the prosecutor to lecture her on the laws of this country. Disqualify her now while there's still time!

I personally loathe women who can’t laugh at themselves, nor take on the truth about themselves and own up when they’ve made a fucking mistake 😎

Cannonball sounds like a 4 star fuck up. How this woman ever became a judge is beyond me.

Cannon is just like the judge in the movie Idiocracy. Only he made more sense. I want to take bets on the day she gets booted. My guess is 4-17-24. I want to see her cry!
