U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon declined to recuse herself from the case of Ryan Routh, who is charged with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last month. The judge appointed to the federal bench by the alleged victim in Routh’s case brushed aside the defendant’s concerns about Trump’s praise of Cannon and the possibility that he could promote her to even higher office if he’s elected next week.

“I have no control over what private citizens, members of the media, or public officials or candidates elect to say about me or my judicial rulings,” Cannon wrote in an order published Tuesday. “I have never spoken to or met former President Trump except in connection with his required presence at an official judicial proceeding, through counsel,” added the judge who dismissed Trump’s classified documents case in July.

    Not exactly on topic, but she looks like she could be a linebacker on a pro nfl team. That neck and jaw, both thick as fuck. I’m assuming the project 2025 team wrote that statement like pretty much everything that comes out of her stupid fucking mouth.
