jsv6z51,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","I know that Trump is political and IANAL BUT...

1. He doesn't have to run for president

2. He shouldn't get special treatment because he is running for president

3. Just because he is ""busy"" that's not an excuse

4. Could have been worse, but all and all May seems fair (edit fair in the sense of Cannon)",698,2023-07-21 13:50:12
jsvbfxj,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election",She SHOULD recuse herself.  But there is no law requiring her to do so.

jsv9dew,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","Getting special treatment cause he's running for president is remarkably stupid IMHO. 

1) Hillary testified and did all her legal shit while she was the DNC pick (""She has no stamina""- Trump)

2) anyone can start their own party and automatically be a front runner for president at anytime. I'd like to start the America is Getting Pegged Party, and I'm now running for Office in 2032.

* Surely judges would recuse themselves from direct conflicts of interest (Nope, Canon, Alito, Thomas, ACB). Surely the legislature would hold them accountable if they didn't, or for massive corruption (Nope)
* No senator would freeze military appointments for months on end. Their voters would never reelect them (Nope) or their party would hold them accountable (Nope) because otherwise they would be seen as complicit and never reelected themselves (Nope)
* We don't need an limits or liability on congressional speech, no congress person would broadcast cock shots of a private citizen (Nope)
* SCOTUS rules are fine, it's not like the majority party would just refuse to do their job and seat justices (Nope)
* We don't need laws about criminals running for office, even for president, because it's not like anyone would vote for someone so shady (Nope). It's also not like they would ever be in the position of pardoning themselves, voters would never stand for that (Nope)",384,2023-07-21 14:43:40

jsv6iy3,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","If that date holds (and that's a big 'if') the timing would be absolutely brutal to his campaign.  By that point he should have the nomination wrapped up and right as he's making his pitch for the general he'll have to split time in federal court.  He could be found guilty right in the heat of summer and potentially jailed.  

A lot of people freaking out about the 10 month delay but I think this works heavily against the Republicans going into 2024.  His crimes and the party's complicity will be on full display right when the nation has its full attention turned towards politics",299,2023-07-21 13:47:01

jsvjsbf,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","Reminds me of before the 2020 election. I was at drill and a group of service members were trying to parot Trumps claim that they were the silent majority. I told them ""No, your a minority and you are far from silent."" They could not understand how their statement was incorrect. Even pointed out they had flags and banners all over, and couldn't understand how that wasn't silent. I did not get to see them again after the election (I finished my contract and gtfo).

jsvaruf,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election",100% this. They'll make the argument that it will interfere with the election and the judge will postpone it again. This is nothing but blatant obstruction from a compromised judge. Smith needs to request for her to be removed from the case. Pushing the date so far ahead is a bridge to far. Kick her off already. It's probably what she wants anyway.,140,2023-07-21 14:16:31

jsv80vp,155o99z,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","I know all elections are important but this one might be the most important one of our lives. it's the difference between a jailed former president finally being held accountable for the deaths and pain he's caused as well as the damage to our country that's still felt today because republicans continue to enable it and a nightmare where donald trump and the republicans weaponize the government (like they've claimed the democrats do/have done) to punish his ""enemies"". voting rights, abortions, hell being openly trans and the war on education, health and safety continues and that's all on the ballot depending on who you choose.

Pretty much everyone afterward was able to look over and see that a parliamentary system is superior to what we cooked up.  It was a noble attempt by small group and nation that had just come together under a revolution, but failed to realize that the following generations wouldn't have that same personal history and cohesiveness that mass tragedy creates.

Even with a judge he appointed himself he still isn’t getting what he wants(a trial post election). Jack Smith had already requested extensions for clearances so Trumps team can be prepared. Honestly putting the trial in May might be better than December because now Trumps legal team has ample time to prepare and will make it harder to declare a mistrial.(if the case is rushed I could see Cannon believing in that argument). He already going to court in March for financial fraud and January 6th is probably coming in the next few days.

I would have never guessed that he thought the election was stolen, or that the Trump indictments are part of a witch hunt- because he doesn't talk like that. Just randomly came up last year.

Those types of people almost scare me more than the loud ones. They're silently voting the same way as the rest. To this day I still learn about people in my life are pro-Trump because they are pretty quiet about it.

In some cases, she would even provide a flimsy legal argument for her orders which the Trump lawyers had simply missed, she was literally stepping in as legal counsel on behalf of Trump.

The Republicans don't have anyone near the esteem or universal appeal of Eisenhower out there.

Ironically, that 36 year span was what led to the Republicans shifting hard to the right.  The Civil Rights Act alienated Southern Democrats, many of whom were slowly turned to voting Republican (or, like Strom Thurmond, switching parties).

Trump's team, of course, asked to wait until after the election (so that he can maybe win and then pardon himself). May is basically the 50/50 split between those two requests.

This seems impartial on the surface, but is really bullshit because there's no good reason for the trial to be delayed this long. A normal person would never get AN ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR to prepare for a trial when indicted of crimes of this magnitude.

You can bet that Trump's team will make every attempt to delay and ask for extensions / continuance.

Her placing it right around nominations is pretty telling. If he wins the primary then they'll use that as justification to push it out as to not interfere with an election.

There is a terrifying reality that Trump could win the presidency in 2024. Many already are quite defeated with the system and seeing him skirt such a major crime due to Cannon's bias could be a massive blow to turnout.
