If nothing else, I guessing today was very expensive for lots of people.  

Of there’s one thing I like about the Trump era…it’s how much and how many attorneys are getting paid. Warms my heart.

Beat me to it.

That's a fucking bummer.  Of all the members of those bands what I went to see live at that festival, literally half of them are dead now.  

Also-what the fuck with Willis?  She had every base covered in this case, while her date was covering her third?

Nope? Cash still gumming up the gears of justice?

what time is Engoran supposed to drop that lump of coal in Trump's stocking? Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth commence. 

Weird that you asked and I remembered, but according to Michael Cohen's "sources" on yesterday's MT podcast, between 2 and 3 pm today (I assume Eastern time).

Patience is our weapon, and it's a lethal motherfucker. 

Absolutely this.  Back in my early days of practice, I had a hourly-billed client who would call every day for case-status updates.  He learned patience after the first billing cycle and only called every other day.  It was a lucrative way to enjoy my morning coffee as a young lawyer.  When we finally had the opposition by the balls and brought them to the settlement table, I wonder if he looked at our firm's chunk and thought about all those status update calls.

Look, I’ve told every judge and lawyer I know to get this shit done quicker because Herminator has his own timeline to meet. All I can do, really.

Taking the patient approach with a cancer is how you let it metastasize and spread. That's exactly what's happened with trump, and is solely a consequence of the uniquely FUCKING SLOW modus operandi that trump exclusively gets.

If you're looking for Brisket to tell you that the slow and methodical nature of our criminal justice system doesn't have a helluva downside, you're going to be waiting a long time.

I strongly believe that we should have shot insurrectionist by the fucking truckload on January 6th.  If you want to deal with a threat QUICKLY, there are tools to do so.  They involve hot lead, and Esso Stations.  They have their place, and their merits. They also have their downsides.

History will tell if we chose wisely in picking the rule of law path.  The jury is definitely still out.

Would be nice to clear the docket and get the cases of the presidential candidate who led an insurrection and stole and disseminated classified information expedited. But maybe they're going as fast as they can already.

My frustration is that "the rule of law path" means doing fucking nothing for years and then frantically trying to get it all done before the election

Sometimes when you move too quickly, you can overlook things.  As my wife's MD Anderson trained oncologist told us, "I know you want us to cut this thing out of you yesterday.  But the reality is that we're not as worried about what we can see as what we cannot see."  

 

Knock wood.  We are coming up on ten years cancer free.

 

With Trump, I'd rather have them do it right than right now.

Our national cancer is not in remission. It is actively in control of the body politik and continuing to influence national and international policy so that it can have a better shot of becoming even more powerful in November. 

 

To follow your metaphor, this an active and spreading cancer that all the brightest legal minds are thrilled to be dragging their feet in treating. It's fucking ridiculous.

It's not my metaphor.  And I'm not going to lump myself in with the "brightest legal minds," nor am I "thrilled" that this sort of thing takes time since I, like you, and other seemingly like-minded people, believe this to be an awful problem these criminals are for the survival of our country.  I want to see unlubed justice applied with vigor and without pity as soon as possible.

 

With that said, I am more familiar than many with how this sort of thing works, particularly on the appellate side of the coin.  And on that end, it appears to me to be moving with more exigency than I would have expected or for which I could have hoped.  I understand that it's frustrating and infuriating nonetheless.  But forgive my saying so, if you think this is slow, you ain't seen slow.

 

The rule of law path lacks the immediacy of the murderous rampage path (as Brisket noted).  But I suppose if I'm going down, I'm going down with lady justice.  It's the path I've chosen.

To follow the metaphor even further.....it may be that this cancer is going to kill us, no matter what we do (that's what Brisket thinks, by the way).

Move quickly?  It devastates the body, and we die.

Move slowly and deliberately?  It lets the cancer spread enough, and we die.

Option 1 - we die.  Option 2 - we die.  Bottom line, if Trumpism and its adherents want to kill the Republic, they have the numbers to do so.  It doesn't take a majority to kill the body politic.  Just a critical mass.  Yes, just like cancer.

Like everything else in this dumb country, we are reactive not proactive.

We will not cut the cancer out. We are waiting to see if the crystals work because half this country is looney tunes.

Not exclusively.  It's a time honored tactic just like brisket said.

I prefer to think of it as neoadjuvant chemotherapy.  It interferes with Trump's ability to do more damage while destroying the unseen, potential for damage not yet irreversible.  Once we have him cornered, we cut him out.  No need to turn to crystals until the real weapons fail.

Trump's influence among the electorate is shrinking, not growing. Sure, his hardcore supporters are even deeper up his ass now than they ever were, but they are a shrinking group, and those who are not in that group - the majority of the country - are so done with his shit.

He rode a blue-collar rust belt wave into office in 2016, because he spoke their language, and the Democrats had taken them for granted since Clinton without doing anything for them. And then Trump did nothing real for them. And now Biden has done explicit and effective things for them. He's completely reversed the advantage Trump had and brought them back into the fold.

It don't make a shit if it happens before or after the election, because Trump ain't winning the election.

My dude. Trump is actively torpedoing legislation that affects foreign and domestic policy. He is continuing to jeopardize Ukraine's national sovereignty and ability to defend herself, and throwing sand into the gears of our legislature for the sole sake of a potential campaign advantage. 

 

He is able to do all of this because our justice system has taken the rope a dope and appeasement approach towards this fucking fascist. History shows us time and time again that failure to promptly punish a fascist coup attempt only guarantees another one after a period of destroying the government from within.

No, He is able to all of this because gop leadership after the 1/6 insurrection didn't want to take a hard L so they made statements that Trump was done and would/could never lead the party again, so impeachment was just a dem victory lap in their minds.  Shocker!  They lied.   Trump was on the outs for a year before they returned to him, hat in hand, to kowtow and suckle his orange power teets.

And by doing so, he's not only costing himself the election, he's costing the GOP.

Because of Trump's influence on the border deal, the Democrats can now use the border hysteria that the GOP created against them. That's exactly what just happened this week: A Democrat challenger in a heavily Republican district destroyed his Republican challenger by 7.5 points - by running on border security.

This isn't a hypothetical. IT JUST HAPPENED. And it's going to continue to happen because the GOP has become a one-man party with no issues, and that man happens to be a complete dimwit.

So, Eeyore all you want, but it has no basis in reality. You have to have your head buried pretty far up your own asshole to think Trump has a chance in hell at this point. Just like his supporters do.

I mean shit, listen to Brisket. Brisket isn't joking when he says he's been the leader of the doom n gloom club. But even he sees the trend now.

And to go further, the RNC will soon be a subsidary of Trump Organization.

Not only did team GOP return (well, they actually never left) but they also just handed over the entire Republican party organization and appratus lock, stock and barrel.
