- A federal judge denied former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ request for an emergency stay of a ruling that sent his Georgia election interference case back to state court.
- Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s final chief of staff, had asked U.S. District Judge Steve Jones to pause his ruling pending an appeal.
- Meadows has also asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit for an emergency stay, arguing that Jones “egregiously erred.”
So tired of living with a “justice” system that screams loud and clear it only gives a fuck about one thing: do you have money?
Because regular ass people can’t afford all these endless delaying shenanigans. They’re fucked right out of the gate because they can’t afford a lawyer and probably are getting a court-appointed one.
These chucklefucks deserve a court-appointed lawyer who has to split their time with other clients so they only actually get to see their lawyer for a half hour every several weeks, just like everybody the fuck else.
Over 61% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. It is literally everybody the fuck else who the justice system fucks into a corner.
But as long as you’ve got money? You can drag it all out and run free as long as you fucking want, apparently.
America’s got a legal system, not a justice system. No wonder it’s on a fucking pathway to fascism.
That’s why we should all demand trials and never plea. Over any offense, no matter how small.
The system can’t afford it, for one, but the backlog it would create would effectively shut the whole thing down.

It is disheartening. I hate to stay in my own little bubble and ignore the insanity that plagues many aspects of our country, but, I’d end up drinking 10X as much if I watched/read as much news as I did pre-Trump.
