Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The enlightened centrism is suffocating.
The article is driving traffic. That doesn't change the fact she fucked up her job.
You're just muddying the waters by shifting the discussion away from her actions to how they're reported.
Look at my post history.
True.
I am criticizing the media. It’s sad that you don’t have the ability to understand that media influences you. And when someone points it out, your reaction is to shit on them for trying to make you aware. And I’m the bad guy?
Your post history does not matter. And I can even agree with you on the media in general. But that really doesn't matter in this case. Canon should not be a judge in any court. The same could be said for many others. But they're coverage and characterization of Canon is important with regards to this historic and important case that she will be overseeing. Likely to all of our deficit. Immediate and everyone is right to raise a stink about her. She's already shown that she cannot be fair impartial or deliver Justice. Regardless of whether or not we agree with the media.
I agree. Why do you think she delayed the case? I haven’t read anything about it. Wouldn’t delaying it closer to the election make it worse? Or is she just giving them time to get a better defense?
The best defense Trump could get right now would probably be a free public defender. Any lawyer unscrupulous enough to be hired by him. Especially if they didn't get all payments up front immediately. Would just ensnare themselves in his corruption just like all his previous legal council.
Cannons delay of the trial. Is not far out of General legal precedence for cases. But it is also the best and only thing she could do for him. Having been called out by even her fellow partisans for being too beholden trump. It was about all she really could do for him. Though we know from past action she would immediately dismiss or push the case until after the election if she could. But she knows that would likely only see the case taken from her and possible impeachment from her cushy lifetime position that she is unqualified for. She is a loyal partisan fascist. But her sense of self-preservation still trumps her loyalty to Trump.
This is going to be interesting to watch play out.
OK so what's your point here then, about the facts regarding Aileen Cannon? Are you actually arguing any points or just making ad hominem attacks?
Riccosuave explained my intentions better than I can. His comment is earlier in this thread.
