I don't understand the need for a delay. If he thinks he's bigly innocent, wouldn't he want to prove that as quickly as possible? 🙃

Or he wants to delay things until after the election in hopes that he will get into office again and attempt to pardon all his crimes.
Oh, I know. It's blatantly obvious why he wants to delay. Can't wait for this family to lose everything.
Ostensibly, his lawyers lost the evidence package Jack Smith sent them and they need a second one. And time to read it.
His lawyers are not exactly competent…. (I mean they forgot to ask for payment up front with a client who famously doesn’t pay bills…)…. So I’m not sure if it’s a ruse or not.
And I’m not sure which is more embarrassing….
This is literally “The dog ate my homework.”
Trump doesn't have a dog, though. And dogs hate him.
(what kind of asshole do you have to be, for all dogs to hate you?)
And for him to hate dogs. Trump is garbage.
That sounds like a real bullshit excuse and I'm surprised the judge even tolerated it.
the judge is Aleen Cannon. She tolerated it because she was appointed by Trump, and probably, he's got compromat on her. Or she's a true believer. Either way... she's not being fair and unbiased and the world can see it.
The election in 2024 is going to be so fucked up.
Eh, I'm used to it by now. My vote doesn't matter in my state, but I'll still throw my token vote in the ring.
switch parties vote in their primary
I do. Still pretty pointless though.
LOL they are asking for a delay while they file a motion to dismiss, saying that Trump has executive immunity here.
Him and papa Putin must have an ironclad way to subvert and influence this next election then.
A) Trump has never done anything respectfully in his entire life.
B) I'd like to say this is unique to the current set of court cases, but it's not. It's his standard method of dealing with every court case he's ever been in.
Watching trump in court reminds me a lot like when I used to have to go to church with my parents- and my mom would just hand me crayons and a coloring book to keep me quiet.
Difference is… I was like … four?
And you're not going straight to hell.
I’d be relieved if I believed in hell.
Though the closest approximation is Xmas eve services, it’s the boredom that gets you.
Representatives gonna represent.
"At any cost."
For realsies? Hmmm, I can come up with some doozies if he's sincere.
All these trials can be over in a moment if you plead guilty, Donny.
"Respectfully" - as if he knew the meaning of the word. Trump probably thinks this word is just lawyer gobblegeek language...
