Promptly for Cannon is, what? A month?

Via Kyle Griffin:

Judge tells lawyer Todd Blanche his argument that the classified case is the fault of the National Archives is a "red herring."

"NARA is not sitting at the table over there," she added.
Cannon says she'll rule "promptly."

@GottaLaff Let’s celebrate the small victories. She said she would rule promptly vs. scheduling arguments in a month or two. I wonder if even her patience is running thin on this one as she realizes there is little upside for her and long-term downside if she leaves too many thumbprints on the scales of justice.

Thomas Hawley Tuberville clearly had no idea what IVF was in an interview. Assumed it was some kind of birth control (IUD) or abortion. He just doesn't care about these issues enough to follow them. He doesn't have a womb, and his wife did all that woman stuff so he could have two sons. Why should he know?

Some of you might want to try to tell me he couldn't possibly be in the SENATE & be this uninformed & uninterested.

I want to think that too. But let's be honest about what we are seeing.

@futurebird @lisamelton All thanks to a majority of the people who voted in the great state of Alabama who thought “football coach” was a fine resume builder for a lawmaker that represents 1% of one of our 3 branches of government. To be fair, “football coach” is better than some of the other fascist (Republican) senators that have “misogynist nazi sympathizer” on their resume … but not by much.

As Dave Wasserman would say, I've seen enough.

I need a break. Today has been unbelievably frustrating on this platform, so I'll post news if it breaks, but that's about it.

People, READ THE WORDS IN MY POSTS before commenting.

Please.

Good night.

@GottaLaff On the other hand, it must feel great that so many strangers you don’t know care about your well being and are offering words of encouragement and advice. Unfortunately it’s also a huge time drain, so in case any of my handful of followers reads this: @GottaLaff does NOT have Covid.

I think somewhere in this saga is a teachable moment on post authoring, post reach, and miscommunication that becomes unintentional misinformation.

@parismarx I’m sure Zuck’s next AI demo will showcase what amazing legs it has.
