Well yeah, conOLD needs someone he is guaranteed will dismiss his criminal cases. She has already proven she will humiliate herself for him.

She will be lucky to avoid prison when he loses.

... A proposed personnel roster circulating within Donald Trump's campaign and transition operation lists Aileen Cannon, the federal judge who threw out Trump's classified documents case, as a possible candidate for attorney general, ...

That seem to be why she has been sucking up to him in the trial.

Not a surprise for me, though I had previously commented on a SCOTUS appointment for her by a Trump admin.

But AG, yeah, make the legal issues just disappear.

And how does the average American workers, who may be facing legal issues, have a similar control over the DoJ to have their cases just disappear?

Or is this just, yet another, privilege of the Trump wealthy class that fmr Pres Trump caters and bows to??

Wait until Elon is Secretary of Commerce. Or Treasury. Or both.

@#7 ... Just how bad does that exhibition of stupid taste? ...

I agree.

The odds of Judge Cannon being prosecuted, regardless of the outcome of the election, are close to, if not, zero.

On the other hand, what is your opinion about her being removed from the SC Smith case before her?

... your opinion about her being removed ...

While I disagree with the merit of some of her decisions (as affirmed by the 11th Circuit), I'm not on the removal bandwagon, yet.

?AG? What are you taljing about Donald? I'm supposed to get a seat on the Supreme Court eith a lifeyime appointment so I can fly on private jets and vaca on mega-yachts, You know that is the feal we madr! Don't go trying to back out now!

I Donald Trump do solemnly swear that I will disregard the Constitution and take orders from Vladimir Putin so help mw God!

#14 | Posted by danni at 2024-10-24 06:58 AM

A pretty safe bet...if one hears of a Republican Party member who is now very out and loud praising Trump, they were visited by the Trump advance team and promised the moon as far as a job with a new Trump administration. You know, people like Sununu.

HUGH

If that's the case, they're taking an awful lot for granted with so little evidence to collateralize the risk.

Harris has run a spectacular campaign, comparatively speaking. And has spent probably a hundred times more money, if that counts for anything.

Now, for the icing on top of the cupcake, Harris has announced that her closing speech will be held at a rally at, you guessed it . . the Ellipse.

Sort of like "here's rubbing your nose in it, bozo."

It's a brilliant strategy.

So bribing the judge with a job offer in the new administration is perfectly acceptable these days?

Does not seem ok to me.

She should recuse herself due to an obvious conflict of interest now and the appearance of bias.

But I guess that it is just wishful thinking to think that a maga appointed judge display any professional ethics these days.

Any wonder that so many think they are all just deplorable?

Like those German generals Trump so admires, the Third Reich's judiciary swore an oath of paramount personal allegiance to Hitler. Think back on Trump's first cabinet meeting. Acquiescence is affirmation.

"Think back on Trump's first cabinet meeting."

THAT was the indeed weirdest display of cowardly Trumpy hump kissing I have ever seen.

They should use that one in campaign ads, too. So many insane moments of that presidency I don't know how they can even choose! Like this moment of Trumpy insanity:

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light and I think you said that that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."

These moments should be in every leadership training course as an example of how NOT to act as leaders.

Yes. I vaguely recall that guy! Will have to look up his stuff. If this election weren't so critical for America's future it would absolutely be fricking hilariously funny.

But to me Trump's attempt to turn this country into a totalitarian fascist dictatorship is not funny but more of a Stephen King horror tale or better yet a Philip k Dick (PKD) dystopian sci-Fi /Aldous Huxley brave new world retreat into the dark recesses of the human mind.

Just attorney general? She'll be the next supreme court judge if trump wins. She's shown the only thing that matters - loyalty to the fascist criminal russian puppet

#23 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2024-10-24 02:41 PM

Trump is a user and an abuser. He has a habit of using people and then tossing them aside when they're no longer useful to him. If Trump is elected, Cannon could very well get tossed aside. In the grand scheme of turning this country into a fascist dictatorship, she isn't very important.

Trump only hires the best people. Where "best" is not based on qualifications, rather how willing a person is to stick their tongue up Trump's -----.
