So Nish is now cutting out Jesus and his telling of God’s plan for mankind…? Which candidate has shown that they have God’s blessing? Where’s the turning water into wine, or taken 5 loaves of bread and two fishes and turned around and fed a multitude from those two ingredients?

Of course not. She is doing this on purpose, probably even following instructions. Trump is guilty as hell, and she is not going to allow the trial to happen before the election, she will throw sand to gears if necesary.

Just a quick reminder: Posting about the appearances of two terrible human beings is cheap and unnecessary—and should be avoided entirely—unless the joke is hilarious.

As for Loose Cannon and donnie… “situation normal”
I look at the FBI image of classified docs on the floor in trump’s Mar-a-Lago office and marvel that his fat ass is not already in a cell.

I think we all knew this Cannon case was a lost cause as soon as we heard she was assigned to it. Despite being the most open-and-shut of all the indictments.
It’s a tragedy, but nothing’s going to happen there, not unless TFG loses one of his other cases first and Cannon is somewhat off the hook… though she still remains completely incompetent so that will always be part of the mix, even if she eventually throws in the towel on the corrupt delays. I’m just looking elsewhere for the possibility of justice now, and hope one of the other cases goes the right way. And thanking FSM that Judge Chutkan scheduled her case before Cannon’s, which was the smartest move from a very smart judge.
It’s still a good thing to put s spotlight on what Cannon is doing, but I’m not expecting any changes.

True. However. I am making my way through the analysis from Lawfare (first 25 minutes below), and am struck by the difference in viewpoint and emphasis. Roger Parloff was in the courtroom.
May have some time later to compare and contrast, but check it out.

WASHINGTON - Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly told pro-Israel Republican allies and donors that he wants Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “impeached” over the Hamas attacks, according to a new Rolling Stone report.
The report comes hours after he publicly assailed Netanyahu and Israeli intelligence for allowing the Hamas attack to happen, noting it never would have happened if the 2020 election was not “rigged.” He additionally called Defense Minister Yoav Gallant a “jerk” while branding Hezbollah as “very smart.”
His comments earned significant and widespread criticism from the White House, Republican presidential contenders and senior Israeli officials considered close allies with Netanyahu.
According to the Rolling Stone report, Trump has also reportedly asked longtime advisors whether he should publicly call for Netanyahu’s immediate resignation, though his advisors have recommended he wait several days due to the Hamas attack on Israel being so fresh.
Trump further criticized Netanyahu in private circles by comparing him to the “very weak” majority of American Jews who opted to vote for U.S. President Joe Biden over him in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has previously and repeatedly used his self-proclaimed unprecedented support for Israel as a deflection against accusations of antisemitism, all while invoking dual loyalty tropes and deeming Jews who vote for Democrats as “very disloyal” to Israel. Trump’s opinions of American Jews, however, have deteriorated into stereotypes for decades – touching on tropes of wealth, power and status.
“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing, I’ll say that," Trump told a campaign rally when reflecting on Israel’s role in the January 2020 assassination of Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps General Qassem Soleimani, before saying Israel needed to “straighten it out” following the intelligence failure leading to the Hamas attack.
Trump also accused “very smart” Hezbollah of deciding to attack Israel from the Lebanon border because U.S. President Joe Biden told them not to do so. Trump later gave an interview with Fox News saying “[Netanyahu] has been hurt very badly because of what’s happened here. He was not prepared. He was not prepared and Israel was not prepared — and under Trump, they wouldn’t have had to be prepared.”
- Advertisment -
Trump, who grew increasingly wary of Netanyahu over his lack of cooperation with the former president’s attempted “deal of the century” between Israel and the Palestinians, notably said “fuck him” about Netanyahu in an interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid over the “disloyalty” demonstrated by the Israeli prime minister after he congratulated Biden on his 2020 victory.
Trump’s comments come nearly one month after posting an ominous warning to American Jews, retreading in his well-worn territory of dual loyalty tropes and conflating support for Israel with American Jews. He has frequently targeted Jewish Americans for not voting for him, including imploring them to "get their act together before it’s too late," earning widespread condemnations for “Jewsplaining.”
A poll earlier this summer showed 72 percent of Jewish voters prefer U.S. President Joe Biden over Trump, with 80 percent holding unfavorable views of Trump. Orthodox Jews, however, prefer Trump by a 76-13 percent difference.

you should extend that plan indefinitely. It’s a cesspool and it won’t be improving.

Trump is closer to God, and the more crimes he commits, the more Satan attacks him, which is energizing to this wacko.
That fricking makes no sense at all in a religious context or any other context. These people are a sick cult.

Finally! They agree on something!
This is what comes of Netanyahu’s privileging of Hamas over the Palestinian Authority in hopes of cutting off at the knees a two-state solution. That’s the part I keep coming back to, once I do all my throat-clearing about how terrorism is evil, how neither Israeli civilians nor Palestinian civilians asked for or deserved any of the past week’s events: Israel’s choices over the past 30 years, in defiance of its allies’ warnings and international laws, led to this moment.

Been thinking a lot about this, lately.
WAY back in 2016, Hillary was a shoe-in to win. Then Trump pulled out a squeaker.
Or, as his dominionist supporters call it, “A DIRECT MIRACLE STRAIGHT FROM GOD”
This started us in on this kind of shit:
It’s a wonder their hands (on) didn’t burst into flames.
Then, there’s this:

Correction: We all knew Cannon was a lost cause as soon as she heard and interfered with her first case dealing with Dotard T rumpp.
