I’d bring up the old canard about not bending over to pick up the bar of soap in the shower, but that would incorrectly assume that Bannon showers.

Now the orange turd gets another ruling in his favor from the high court in Georgia to further delay his trial there.

He took a lot of these documents long before he flew off to Mar-a-Lardo. I imagine that he had hundreds of them stashed at Bedminster as well but we all know those are keeping Ivana's ashes warm. It doesn't take 10 pallbearers to carry a coffin with her ashes inside. I just hope the FBI has constant surveillance on her grave.

As for Cannon, well I hope someday Karma comes to her doorstep. She's obstructing justice and getting away with it and the country deserves better.

Right. News reports showed Ivana Trump's pallbearers struggling with her casket. Her weight was 105 lbs!! WTAF?

At this point I'm hoping the Democrats take over Congress completely and thoroughly and immediately threaten Cannon with impeachment for judicial misconduct, or violation of the US statute that requires judges to act in an unbiased manner.

Certainly she cannot in good conscience claim that her actions can be interpreted as anything but being biased in favor of the defendant.

But, I'm sure that would "set a bad precedent", and the RW outrage machine would blow a gasket.
