    The wheels of justice are slow, but they d-

    Oh hang on, I guess they don’t even turn slowly now.

      It’s insane how Trump manages to get away with everything. Even before he became president, he somehow got away with destroying and bankrupting everything he touched while also managing to fail upwards.

        He made that deal with the crossroads demon 8 years ago. He still has 2 years to go before hellhounds eat his face.

          Lol. It’s actually gotten to the point where I almost wouldn’t be surprised if there were some sort of demonic influence giving him some evil villain plot armor.

    Utterly disgusting and disgraceful. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has given Trump everything he wanted in this and her bias is clear.

    But the new ruling from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon vacates that date and sets a new slate of pretrial proceedings, the latest of which is a hearing set for July 22.

    Um… July 22nd isn’t “indefinitely”. Either I’m confused or the headline contradicts the actual article.

      Obligatory NAL, but it reads as “pretrial proceedings,” which are hearings held prior to trial to determine things like laws pertaining to the crime, the facts, and other issues.

      It sounds (to me) like that’s exactly what they have been doing since Cannon was originally appointed as the judge in this case.

      What she did was cancel the trial start date, May 20th, and then set a date to resume “pretrial proceedings.”

      Delay, delay, delay…

        Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. What will surprise me is if he ever actually faces any consequences. Anyone who is still expecting any real justice for trump has not been paying attention.
