Lawyers for former PresidentĀ Donald Trump on Thursday asked the judge in hisĀ Jan. 6 prosecution to keep a stay in place for a month so that the defense and special counsel Jack Smith can file their ā€œimmunity appendicesā€ at the same time ā€” after the 2024 election has come and gone.

On Oct. 10, several days afterĀ Smithā€™s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecutionā€™s redacted appendix should also go public since Trumpā€™s ā€œā€˜concern with the political consequences of these proceedingsā€™ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.ā€ At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trumpā€™s team seven days to ā€œevaluate litigation options.ā€

Seven days later now, the defense has responded by asking the judge, a Barack Obama appointee, to keep the stay in place until Nov. 14, claiming ā€œthe public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.ā€

    Thatā€™s fucking bullshit. I hope she doesnā€™t listen to them. This is as clear as the sun in the sky. They want the fucker to pardon himself. They are DETERMINED to get him elected by any means necessary, meaning, even straight up rigging the elections, or by violence. Dude is not gonna concede this time. Heā€™s going to go out with a fucking bang. Remember me.

        completely unrelated, but that photo has a striking resemblance to a roommate I had a very long time ago. Itā€™s not her, but itā€™s pretty eerie how close it is.

          Read an article in the 90s, probably not a thing anymore, but some scientists believed there were only 150 face types in the world, which kinda rings true to me.

          The rest of the differences are hair and eye color, fat or thin, etc. Wonder what facial recognition researchers know?

          And yeah, apparently I had a doppelganger roaming Tulsa in the 90s. I met people who were shocked to see me and friends were shocked to see the other guy. Sounds like our social circles were almost touching.

            It doesnā€™t work in the 90s as we didnā€™t all have smartphones but if that happened today Iā€™d beg my friends to take a photo of/with them
