“And going forward, Plaintiff’s counsel will not assume that orders requiring submissions ‘from the parties’ means a jointly drafted document,” attorneys for Trump wrote.

Um, “submissions” is plural, right?

“What Kind Of Game Is Trump Playing With The Special Master?”

A very stupid game apparently. Not sure of Trusty’s reputation before this clusterfuck but if he had a decent one then it’s going down the drain.

If he’s playing Cannon Roulette then there’s going to be a shell in the chamber sooner or later.

As I posted earlier, at some point Cannon will realize that she can’t keep pulling the crazy rulings out of her ass to keep covering for the Shitgibbon.

He’s playing the “I Still Get to Do Whatever I Want, Right?” game.

Let me take a stab at this. Trump and his attorneys know they can say actual gibberish like Lewis Carroll writing Alice in Wonderland and behave downright disrespectfully towards Dearie and get away with it because no matter how angry Dearie may become or what penalties he may impose or rule for DoJ on the substance, he has a literal get out of jail free card from Cannon.

The 11th Circuit can’t mute this fast enough.

You called him President Trump. It should be former. Why feed his delusions?

I think TFG’s attorneys are trying to assert that THEY alone control the calendar.

Dearie should summarily rule against them.

That will force Cannon to overrule Dearie and provide the DOJ more ammo to:

  1. Remove Dearie
  2. Remove Cannon

That picture truly captures Trump like he is in those MAGA drawings of him in a sweatband with a full head of hair with a Sylvester Stallone 1980’s sculpted body. I couldn’t tell the difference.

trump is hardly a criminal genius, and yet, this in-your-face, treasonous, serial villain has managed to be untouchable for his entire life. I would like to believe he will eventually be held accountable, but I’m afraid it’s more likely we’ll see him back in the WH than in jail where he belongs.
