    ANALYSIS,DONALD TRUMP,NEWS

    As Criticism And Accusations Mount Over Her Head, Judge Aileen Cannon Handed Special Counsel Jack Smith A Victory In One Of The Biggest Criminal Cases Against Trump

    This is big...

    Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has long been teetering on the precipice of destroying what little career she has left due to her behavior surrounding the infamous stolen classified documents criminal case against scandal-plagued former President Donald Trump — spearheaded by Garland-appointed Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith.

    Ever since she was assigned to preside over this case against the man who got her this job, to begin with, Cannon has made decisions that have led experts and Americans to believe she’s attempting to do as much of Donald Trump’s bidding from the bench as possible. These questionable rulings, decisions, and behaviors have led to multiple calls for her impeachment or removal from the case.

    While we certainly have no way of verifying Judge Cannon’s motivating factors, it does seem as though the pressure, criticism, and accusations hanging over her head are beginning to get to her, as Aileen Cannon just handed Jack Smith a massive win in the federal criminal documents case against Donald J. Trump.

    Recent court records showed that Cannon delivered a ruling that allows Special Counsel Smith to substitute vague summaries for some of the sensitive intelligence materials he will need to share with Donald Trump and his legal team as part of discovery in this case.

    “Upon review of the Motion, relevant filings, arguments raised during hearings, and the full record,” Cannon wrote in the new ruling, “the Court GRANTS the Special Counsel’s Motion as to Categories 3 and 4 in their entirety, as well as most of the Category 2 requests as set forth in the Court’s Classified Order.”

    The information in question here largely pertains to a list of potential case witnesses, who Smith has claimed are already receiving threats on social media due to their connection to the documents case. In addition to the witness list, Cannon allowed Smith and his team to summarize national security documents that the Justice Department said were not safe to hand, in their entirety, to Donald Trump.

    Cannon is, as mentioned, on the hot seat among many legal experts across the country for her perceived bias towards the ex-president who appointed her to Florida’s Southern District court, in one of the biggest criminal cases currently raging against him.

    Speaking with the Washington Post, former federal Judge Nancy Gertner said, “She is giving credence to arguments that are on their face absurd. She is ignoring a raft of other motions, equally absurd, that are unreasonably delaying the case.”

    Despite this win for Smith, Cannon still appears to be playing the delay game for as long as she can when it comes to actually setting a date for Trump’s trial — as the ex-president and his team push for a date after the 2024 presidential election, which Trump believes will protect him from prosecution, while Smith and millions of Americans believe this is a vital trial that needs to take place before the election to give voters the clearest picture of what the presumptive Republican nominee has done, before they cast their votes.

    2h  · BREAKING: Donald Trump is dealt a crushing blow as an appellate court judge rejects his desperate request to halt the hush money trial and remove the judge who hit him with a gag order.

    And it gets even better...

    Trump's attorneys requested that Judge Juan Merchan be recused as well as for a stay in the trial proceedings. Clearly, they're worried about losing this case and for good reason. The evidence is damning.

    In denying the request, the appellate judge didn't even both to provide an explanation — Trump's request was that absurd.

    BREAKING: Donald Trump "appears to have fallen asleep" in court again according to NBC News, unleashing a wave of brutal mockery online.

    His eyes were reportedly "closed for extended periods of time" and his head "jerked" around.

    This is the same man who calls Joe Biden "sleepy."

    It's time for Trump to abandon his White House dreams for a retirement home.

    1h  · BREAKING: A bombshell interview with Donald Trump reveals what his "imperial presidency" will look like if he wins — and it's so much worse than we thought.

    Through conversations with Trump and his advisers, Time's Eric Cortellessa discovered Trump's chilling plans...

    1) A massive deportation campaign to remove 11 million undocumented people. This would include migrant detention camps and Trump would deploy the U.S. military throughout the country.

    2) Red states will be permitted to monitor pregnancies to prosecute anyone who violates an abortion ban.

    3) Trump would illegally withhold funds appropriated by Congress to wield influence.

    4) He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney if they refuse to carry out a prosecution for him.

    5) He is considering pardoning every single violent January 6th insurrectionist.

    6) He may choose not to help an ally if they're attacked if he doesn't think they spend enough on their own defense.

    7) Gut the U.S. civil service.

     Deploy the National Guard to cities whenever he likes.

    9) Close the White House pandemic-preparedness office.

    10) Staff his White House with election deniers.

    11) Massive tax cuts for the rich.

    12) A possible 10% tariff on all imports and "perhaps" a 100% tariff on some Chinese goods.

    In addition to this destructive agenda, Trump didn't rule out the possibility of political violence if he loses.

    "If we don’t win, you know, it depends," said Trump. "It always depends on the fairness of the election."

    Towards the end of the interview, Cortellessa asked Trump if he can understand why many Americans are worried about his promise to become a dictator and end democracy.

    "I think a lot of people like it," said Trump.

    He's telling us exactly what he wants to do. Donald Trump is planning an authoritarian dystopia and he's done being shy about it. It falls to every patriotic American to ensure that he loses.

    Vote Biden. Save America.

    And amazing to think this man will get plenty of votes — after saying this to TIME magazine.

    Sorry for all the memes that go back and forth. I get them from several sources and since my program was upgraded, it is far harder to get into my memes sections — so too hard to link the ones together with the same basic subject.

    Dogs are some of the most non-judgmental people in the world. Likely why they got put here. We need a great role model.

    Chuckled at the wooden cross meme and enjoyed the others. Kristy Noem is despicable for shooting her dog because it didn't perform to her standards. How many candidates for police dogs, seeing eye dogs, etc fail out and are rehomed. Poor Cricket wasn't given a second chance to be all he could be with someone who would live him. Wonder if she threatens her children with being shot if they misbehave or if they got the message when she shot their dog? If she is his running mate, heaven help him because I don't think she will take orders and he may find that she wears the pants. Don't want either of them near the White House ever.

    Sandy, I enjoyed reading your POV about the Israeli-Gaza conflict and always find I learn something from your posts. I am in agreement that the Israeli future needs a new leader and that a prison cell shared by Trump and Netanyahu would be desirable. Can we throw Putin in there as well? Also make room for the dictators in Turkey, Hungary, North Korea and Belarus. Then they can do battle to see who can be King of the mountain.

    We cannot settle the differences between Israel and Gaza for them. Both have a right for existence but they must find a means of promoting peaceful co-existence with Israel/Gaza respecting the boundaries of their lands and stop the invasion of the West Bank. This conflict shares commonality with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in that both reflect one leader's desire to take land is not theirs. Even there atrocities are being rained on innocent civilians. So the answer seems to be related somehow to respecting the sovereignty of each country and I am not sure how we can achieve that. I am not in favor of supplying armaments to Israel to use against Gaza but do support providing arms if they need to protect themselves from Iran.

    I find both of these conflicts morally distressing and can only look at the past for the outcome of wars. I don't think the losses incurred justify having a war. If women ruled the world, I am not sure we would ever go to war.
