    Those complaints filed since May 16 “appear to be part of an orchestrated campaign,” according to Pryor, whose appellate court reviews cases arising from federal district courts in Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

    Well, yeah. Any kind of change requires a coordinated effort to get enough attention for something to happen.

      True but if we switched sides here for a moment the left would be yelling foul play and I’m a Democrat. Just lots of visible hypocrisy

        The other side already sends death threats and is calling for a war over a conviction against Trump by a jury of their peers. I dunno if I’d be that concerned about their take on hypocrisy.

          When Republicans make a concerted effort , they call for violence against their opponents. When Democrats do it, they write strongly worded letters.

          Except that’s terrorists doing terrorist things. If instead they were filing thousands of formal complaints against judge Merchan, that would be different.

          Sure, but why not just be better than them in every single aspect we can be? How about we let Jack Smith do what he’s obviously trying to do and not do bullshit like this.

          It obviously did nothing good. It only makes us look bad. There was no way this would ever go in our favor. You’re using the excuse of they did bad stuff so we can stoop a bit also. How about not?

        Both sides though.

        As a leftist I want to see justice done regardless of the party affiliation. However, I can say that my preferences for justice and equality before the law could be a factor in whether or not I consider foul play to have occurred.

        If we switched sides here for a moment it would be Hillary testifying multiple times in actual purely political questionings and the Repubs still finding nothing worth going after. Nobody would be screeching or sending death threats.

        If we switched sides it would be whatever the fuck these top investigators are doing on the Hunter Biden Laptop case. None of us give a shit beyond thinking it is dumb as fuck. Again, nobody is sending death threats.

          You notice how you go completely outside the context of this situation?

          Let’s say Hillary was on trial and we had a situation like Trump’s. If Republicans did this exact orchestration of complaints I guarantee you this sub would be screeching about obstructing justice and anything else related.

          I feel like you’re going to have a hard time sticking to the context of this situation and not go about what Republicans have already done which I know and understand but that doesn’t mean we should be doing bullshit like this.

          https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/03/politics/cannon-orchestrated-complaints-trump/index.html

          It obviously did nothing good. It never was going to. What was the point of it? Why cheer it on? Why not just let Jack Smith corner her like he obviously is doing and not interfere?

          Please tell me how this was actually a good thing vs just bad overall. It’s extremely hypocritical for us to raise pitchforks toward the right about everything they do and then cheer something like this on. Sure, it’s not as low as the right has gone but that does not give any reason for why this was the right thing to do over just letting Jack do what he’s doing.

          Now complaints can’t even be sent in. Way to go Democrats. You blocked off all complaints for a judge about something we all know she’s doing. So now if there is anything new to complain about, shit outta luck.

          Like, cmon dude. You’re allowed to be critical of your own political party. Just because Republicans have done what they have doesn’t mean we should start doing shit like this.

          Congrats, look what You’ve done

          https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/03/politics/cannon-orchestrated-complaints-trump/index.html

          You think this actually did anything good? Seriously? If there was a case against Democrats and Republicans did this exact same thing you guys would be spewing about how they’re trying to stop justice and messing with the legal system. Nothing good was done by this.

          And yes, you can actually be a Democrat but see outside the echo chamber of social media. How about you let Jack Smith do what he’s trying to do and not allow this bullshit to be cheered on.

          Now please tell me why I can’t be a Democrat just because I decide to call something out that obviously will do no good for anyone? I would love to hear it. It’s crazy how if you don’t fit all the criteria on social media of the echo chamber you suddenly can’t be what you claim. It’s so hypocritical, especially for Democrats to say shit like that

          Guess what? You’re actually allowed to criticize your own political party believe it or not. The Democratic party isn’t supposed to be a cult but when you aren’t even allowed to criticize your own party it really starts to look like one doesn’t it?
