I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

So there's a funny thing in Georgia law:

https://twitter.com/JoyceWhiteVance/status/1694411174123589750?t=UlucOAsA2Hj-G5-klYIORA&s=19

I've seen very little about this, much less about how it would affect a multi-defendant state RICO case. But, the Georgia DA has responded with a hilarious recommended trial date from this motion:

https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1694752955193348413?t=Vm-66QseFyJTac-UNkevDQ&s=19

This can't be possible, as we're on the wrong timeline for this clusterfuck of a RICO trial to actually start in two months. That would be some funny loving poo poo if the Cheeseman forces Donnie to actually stand trial quickly.

Oct. 23 would be the start date for jury selection most likely with trial to commence immediately after.

A lot of people will demand a speedy trial. He's doing it strategically because he doesn't think they could try him fast enough and hoping for dismissal on those grounds. As long as they start jury selection by the end of the year, this will fail. I have no doubt that Willis will start jury selection well within the timeline for all defendants. She's done it other RICO cases. One case right now has had jury selection ongoing for 8 months due to the number of defendants. I don't think it's going to take quite that long here, but it will still be a lengthy process.

In criminal law there aren't very many things that mandate immediate appeal. Most of the appellate work is post-conviction. This is true of interlocutory appeals in Georgia, as well. There isn't really much the defendants can do to slow things down if the prosecution wants to move forward.

I've been texting friends who've done crim law in Georgia and they seem to think this is absolutely a bet that the Fulton DA bit off more than they can chew and forcing them to go fast will cause them to make mistakes or force a dismissal. Though their opinions vary on how good of a bet it is to take.

I wonder where he got the 35k number from, since the American number is apparently 5855 and total deaths were somewhere around 25k. Apparently the overall "we gave away the panama canal" thing is standard republican boomer nonsense about how the treaty was bad or some poo poo. The equivalent of the "we should've kept the Iraqi oil" argument.

5-12k deaths building the Panama Railway, and about 22k for the French try on the canal.
The US did 2 1/2 years of prep work before beginning the canal, including a huge amount of work (derided by many as 'the mosquito theory') reducing malaria and yellow fever by improved sanitation and eradicating mosquitos in the canal area.
Ironically, 1904 Trump would have been apoplectic at the 20 million on healthcare (including sanitation and mosquito control) for canal workers.
and a little bit of :negative: - while everyone got medical care, only white workers lived in the mosquito exclusion areas and had housing provided - black workers had to make do elsewhere.

It's definitely ambitious, but this is Fani's 13th RICO case as a DA. We'll see how it shakes out.

Trump has filed an opposition to Willis' trial schedule request, and says he's going to file a motion to sever from Cheesebro or anyone demanding a speedy trial.

Willis responded hilariously quick to the Meadows/Clark motions and the Meadows motion to sever, so it's possible they might even have plans for all the ways this thing could clusterfuck. And thankfully none of the removal motions stop the Georgia clocks.

The removals are their own little clusterfuck of hilarity. Also, Mark Meadows shot himself in the foot in his motion to dismiss. His lawyers added an additional section about how all of his actions are protected first amendment political speech that was not raised in his prior notice. This is an admission that his actions were outside the scope of his office which is necessarily apolitical.

The indicted leader of Blacks for Trump did not successfully negotiate bail and will spend the night in jail per CNN.

If there's ever been a time where I'd encourage law enforcement to be exceedingly violent toward a criminal, it's when Fat Bastard arrives soon.

E- Blacks for Trump guy also apparently assaulted an FBI agent when being served in the Jan 6 case. Probably not a good idea.
