Anyone who voted in a poll here that 1/6 was not comparable to 9/11 wanna change their position on that at this point?

It's... really still not. The comparison is hysterical, frankly. Yes, it was a bit shocking watching live, but when the dust settled, there were 5 deaths, most natural and of people there by choice, compared to 3000 innocent people just going about their day and targets struck to cause the most fear.

Trump’s plan to use Judge Cannon to block Judge Chutkan and avoid trial

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers see a major opportunity this week to use his criminal document mishandling case in Florida to create an impasse on his calendar for the two federal judges overseeing his major criminal cases.

Juggling his campaign and court calendar and playing his cases off one another is a key part of Trump’s legal strategy. The ultimate goal, his team has said openly, is to prevent Trump from being tried in federal court before voters cast their ballots in the 2024 general election.

A primary aim for Trump’s legal team, according to people familiar with the strategy, is to put the judge in DC overseeing the 2020 federal election obstruction case, Tanya Chutkan, in a position where she can’t start a trial before Election Day.

“Meaning, ice her,” said a person familiar with Trump’s trial schedule strategy. “Making it impossible for her to jam a trial down before the election, by things that are out of her control.”

For all the talk of Trump's defense team being dumber than a bag of bricks from people here and elsewhere, I think they've actually done reasonably well in their efforts to delay all of Trump's trials but the weaker New York one.

Alito and Thomas genuinely deserve prison. I am tired of being told how intolerant I am for despising the people who want to destroy this country.

Everyone in a position to stand up to tyranny and treachery within our own country but chooses not to deserves prison at this point. We’re teetering on the edge and the Supreme Court is about to push us off.

They're not going to vote to give Presidents carte blanche, who atm is Biden, not Trump. I swear a staffer could leak the decision, and if it was against Trump, people here would still refuse to believe it and just doom post about how denocracy is dead forever instead.
