    Boo fucking hooo. He had no issues when “Judge” rubber stamp Cannon was handed the most important cases he ever faced and held up to her name, literally defending him as opposed to actually being a judge…

    Crybaby “strongman.”

      I saw someone else say “crybully” and I liked that phrase.

    See, he ASSUMES there’s “no way to win” and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they’re “against republicans/trump/whoever”

    Why?

    Because that’s exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can’t imagine a world where someone else isn’t just as shitty as they are.

    Projection. Insecurity.

    I mean, there’s no way to win, but that’s because this is one of those things that can’t be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I’m not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

      This exact judge previously shot down an attempt to obtain Trump’s tax returns.

      It’s like he must be looking at something besides the caption to decide these cases. I wonder what that could be?? So mysterious. </s>

    “No way to win!”

    Wild suggestion, but have you tried, I dunno, not flagrantly breaking the law and then ignoring the court orders that are handed down after breaking the law?

      When Peter Navarro was in court for his treason, he would attempt to address the reporters every day, so he could beg for money. Every day, there was a woman who stood behind him, yellling or blowing a whistle whenever he talked, and holding up signs.

      He’s a short little dick, and she was tall, so he tried to yank a sign out of her hands, but she just held it up out of his reach, and said “Havent you committed enough crime today?”

      Fucking HILARIOUS, and all in front of the media. The most effective strategy was blowing the whistle as he tried to talk, because it totally drowned him out. Most days he just walked away in frustration.

    One does not normally win a court case by stacking the deck in your favor with a judge who agrees with you, but by being within the law. Have you tried not being wrong? I hear that helps quite a bit.

      Ok, I came here to say the exact same thing, but you said it much better than I would have.

      Half a meter up their own ass, explaining how the content shared “wasn’t really war plans” so it basically doesn’t count.
