I demand trump write a full page ad in the NYT apologizing to America and the world for being such a douchebag racist asshole, and fucking everything up. And then proceed to jail.
He did that once before, when he demanded the death penalty for the Central Park Five, who were wrongfully convicted.
He is a racist piece of shit.
Judges that are going to recuse themselves do so before they take on the case. This is both a stalling tactic and a fundraising technique. He probably already has the fundraising emails ready to go decrying the rigged liberal judge that refuses to recuse.
Yup. These meritless motions are done just to make news headlines. Habba, one of Trump's lawyers, was previously fined $1,000,000 for filing frivolous motions for the purpose of political grandstanding.
Habba the jutt?
The very same.
I do have to say...I'm loving Lemmy just for the crowd. Normally on Reddit, I'd be sorting through a mass of racist shitheads defending their shithead leader for an article like this, but most people here are just having conversations, whether they agree with the position of the linked content or not.
It's nice.
Yeah on here you just have to avoid anything that says hexbear.
Now you done it

Looks like so far, only 4 racist shitheads have found your comment. Only here, they’re too cowardly to refute your point.
There are a few shitheads on lemmy.world.
Certain subreddits were alright.

So um...bets on how detailed she goes in her "fuck no" statement? Think it's going to be simple like a sentence or just a "no" or something extended?
No in whatever the shortest way to say no in legalese is
No
Legalese needs more words, something like "motion denied" would work.
No.
It would be nice if they could respond in giphys or video clips. I suggest something like this:
The judge should say, "sure. As soon as Clarence Thomas starts recusing himself."
As fun as that would be, it would achieve nothing good.
Oh, gawd, I'd love to see that.
Somebody needs his diaper changed!
I imagine the ketchup cleaning crew has been stepped up a notch in the past year or so...
Trump demands a lot of things.
Lol Clarence Thomas first
Chutkan: Recuse myself? No, I don't think I will, thank you.
You have no power here! 😅
He’s in no position do demand anything from anyone. He should be begging for mercy.
This.
Oh course he is trying to make demands. Obviously it's damaging to his case so he wants the recusal.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Trump on Monday formally demanded the recusal of the federal judge overseeing his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, D.C.
“Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial — and may believe that she can do so — her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome.”
In October 2022, Chutkan chided Ohio Jan. 6 defendant Christine Priola during her sentencing that she and other rioters offered “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day,” according to a hearing transcript.
Trump has publicly criticized Chutkan before, claiming she “obviously wants me behind bars,” and is “very biased and unfair.” He has also speculated that there is “no way” he will receive a fair trial under the federal judge and previewed he would file the recusal motion.
“Public statements of this sort create a perception of prejudgment incompatible with our justice system,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.
“In a case this widely watched, of such monumental significance, the public must have the utmost confidence that the Court will administer justice neutrally and dispassionately.
The original article contains 537 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

".... cause when you're a star, they let you do it..."
He can demand anything he wants. He's owed nothing.
Awww, keep stomping those little feet of yours, little prezzy. Who's a wittle insurrectionist? Oh that's right, you are. You are!
Someone give that baby a pacifier.
Demands? The criminal donnie Bid Laden is not in the position of demanding jack squat. He can fuck right off.
