Judge Aileen Cannon is planning on holding a sprawling hearing on Donald Trump’s request to declare Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel invalid, signaling the judge could be more willing than any other trial judge to veto the special prosecutor’s authority.

“The issue, now before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida federal court, is likely to remain in the political debate at least until Cannon holds a hearing on the legal power of the special counsel to prosecute a defendant, on June 21.”

    There’s not enough of us, and definitely not enough of us with actual force, or any skills useful to applying or upkeeping that force. I’ve spent a lot of time finding my local revolutionary minded kin and what I learned is aim small. Have a small circle you can sustain, learn to grow food, get good at running, and keep a well maintained weapon. When shit hits the fan build parallell societies or camps or communes or whatever. Keep your network big and your goals small. Also learn ham radio. With a car battery and a wire antenna placed high enough, the 20m and 40m bandwidths can propagate worldwide day and night. Most people would rather watch fascism win and be in peace than try to fight it but be in conflict.

      There are actually more Democrats than Republicans, the problem is the Republicans are noisier and better organized.

        And they refuse to play by any rule that doesn’t suit them.

        I cannot help but think that a major cause of this current ‘unrest’ or ‘disharmony’ (as they might say in the CCP) is due partly to continual Russian trolling campaigns, and major media owners (looking at you Murdoch) helping actively shout not only ‘misinformation’ but outright fucking lies.
