How you could write "Cocktober" and not link this video is almost criminal enough to include in Jack's filing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cap31jZMtFg (please note, absolutely incredible and also NSFW without headphones)

Watch the NYTimes decide there's "nothing newsworthy" in the filing.

There won't be 199 articles about it, unlike a certain person's emails.

Once Sir is convicted will Sir be liable to pay back all the public monies spent on bringing Sir to justice? And not in Sircoin's or in SIrnfts or Sirsteaks or Rubles?

While it might be nice to see the US voters reject this felon at the polls a third time (if that’s how it goes and fuck it is absurd this is even in question) his sleazy ass does in fact belong in jail for enough issues it begins difficult to track them all and this is ridiculously overdue.

The Supreme Court went down the road to illegitimacy in 2000 with Bush v Gore, and then accelerated with Citizens United, and totally tossed in the towel with the utterly idiotic TCFFG/PAB "immunity" case. They're done here. Only three justices are actual ethical actors. The remaining six are reactionary hacks who should be treated to tumbrel rides.

I sincerely wish two of the Republican judges drop dead before the end of the year. Biden and Schumer seat their replacements, while the remaining four impotently watch as their evil is undone.

You know Uncle Clarence is going to get an artificial heart like Dick Cheney and he will get to jump the line because he's another Special Boy. GAH! I suspect Roberts is taking at least one anti-seizure med, but it would be irresponsible not to speculate. Fuck Ted Cruz

Non-lawyer theory: This puts Trump in a bind in ways beyond bad publicity. This whole argument of Official vs un-official means they may have to admit to stuff that he did in order to argue whether it was official or not. I suppose they could blanket all counter-arguments with the magic word "hypothetically", but even that will appear squirmy-guilty. Hopefully, Chutkan will set a tight pre-election deadline for Trump's response.

Justice Chutkan has the rep of being tough on January Sixers. Here's hoping that she's even tougher on quislings, and on dictators' personal bum-boys.

I don't know what date she will be releasing the good stuff but my birthday is 10/12 and if she could gift my b'day weekend I'd be pretty pleased with that and see it as a sign. Let's go Cocktober!!

Pardon, but "earliest-possible-stages-thirty" implies that the parties are a bit late in briefing the issues. It's still only earliest-possible-stages-o'clock.

It’s insane to me that Hillary’s chances got sunk because of a fake email scandal.

We have an actual felon adjudicated rapist with 3 other indictments and the media goes, “he can still be president, there’s nothing says he can’t!” In fact, if he wins it’s perfectly accepted that he can order the DOJ to squash these charges and even order them to go after the people that brought them.

Where was THAT discussion during the email saga?

Speaking of which, didn't DOJ warn Comey that if he went public with a new investigation on Hillz that that would be election interference? And he did it anyway?

BREAKING: In a stunning new leaked video, Project 2025’s Director, Paul Dans, just admitted that if Donald Trump is elected, Trump’s agenda on day 1 will mirror Project 2025’s. This is a huge revelation. Retweet so all Americans see this scary leak.
