People: "Donald Trump has screwed over lots of people. But not me, he'll see we can both make a bunch of money together" Trump: "Immediately screws them over" People: (Shocked Pikachu face) (this came from today's story that Trump and the people who set up the Truth Social swap are suing each other, and Trump is trying to argue they should get nothing out of it) https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-sues-truth-social-co-founders-says-not-entitled-stock-shares-rcna146106

I'll be curious if she blinks on this. I have read a lot of motions over the years and I can't recall ever seeing something like this from a non-quack lawyer. Usually you see words like reconsider when talking to a judge, or 'the Court erred' when talking about lower courts. This is just flat out 'you are wrong on this, we have included what the instruction should be and have also included the instructions you asked for since we are legally bound to do so.' Lawyers usually argue, but this is instructing. Flat out, you are wrong and you will do it right or we will immediately appeal. Because she is wrong. I know there is a high bar for removal, but if she pushes ahead with this the state has to appeal, and if they appeal it feels like 'she is wrong on blatant black letter issues of law' might be the time to push for removal.

Cannons MO is not to issue a ruling if it can be avoided and not to issue a firm ruling against Trump if she’s forced to rule. If Cannon believes her proposed instructions are reasonable given a clear understanding of the laws and EOs and etc… then she simply rules for Trumps motion to dismiss and stays the ruling pending appeal. That’s it. So, she obviously doesn’t really believe it, because that’s not what she’s done. Which implies this is either some clever reverse psychology fishing expedition to get Trump to admit these instructions are insane so she can rule against him without contradicting him (LOL) -or- she’s just trying to skirt around the subject and she’ll collect these briefs and circular file them and continue to not rule on anything. I expect the latter.

The Islamic Shock posted:Just a quick breakdown to see if I understand how this works right, correct where I'm wrong please- the game is they perpetually take out loans to buy collateral to take out loans in a manner that isn't exactly a Ponzi scheme when on paper Peter and Paul are the same person and the collateral does actually make money The scheme as I understand it is akin to taking out a loan to buy a house, then renting that house out and using the rental income as collateral to take out another loan to buy another house.

for better following the syllables? "Which scheme's lien reigns supreme?" I would definitely pay for Chairman Kaga to announce the verdict for the Judge. edit: er.. I mean I would pay for Chiarman Kaga to come in and read the verdict. Not for Chairman Kaga to decide the verdict. Although that might be on the table too, if he's amenable.

And while not reality, this is a sound strategy in many games - money earned early on in the game is often more valuable than the same money later on in the game once resources become more available. Being able to get a massive leg up initially can be huge. Granted, in a game, the issue of everything collapsing like a house of cards is solved by just hitting "New Game" or loading an old save. In reality it ends up with you as a former president that was pissed on by Russian hookers.

Jack Smith finally loses patience with Judge Cannon.quote:The two scenarios posited by the Court, on the other hand, rest on the incorrect premise that a former President is authorized to possess classified information—regardless of whether he has a security clearance or a need to know, and regardless of whether he complies with applicable safeguarding regulations, so long as it is contained within a personal record. As a result, both of the Court’s scenarios are fundamentally flawed and any jury instructions that reflect those scenarios would be error. Nevertheless, as directed by the Court, the Government below provides jury instructions for each of these two legally erroneous scenarios.

quote:by Failing to Transfer the Charged Documents to NARA, the Defendant Made the Unreviewable Decision to Designate the Charged Documents as Personal If an inaction to designate a document as personal automatically designates it as personal then by default ALL government documents are personal records and the onus would then be on the president to designate which documents are government documents before they left office.
