In a frantic last-minute attempt to derail a trial that threatens to destroy Donald Trump’s corporate empire, the former president’s lawyers have turned the heat on the judge overseeing this case—by suing him directly.
Edit: Unfortunately the tactic worked:
An appellate judge has taken the remarkable step of hitting pause on the New York Attorney General’s upcoming bank fraud trial against Donald Trump—granting the former president’s request in a surprise hearing on Thursday that was closed off to the public.

As a fellow Canadian… I think we’re at least as bad if not possibly worse than the Americans.
One of the reasons that we’re getting fucked so badly on prices here is that the government has allowed so much power of industry to be concentrated into so few hands, and this has only gotten worse over time.
The government - at the behest of industry -literally tried to force tech companies to pay for linking to news articles, despite the fact that those links actually bring business TO said news companies.
The Irving’s in eastern Canada are no better than DuPonte or PG&E. There’s something seriously dirty going on there.
The Ford’s in Ontario, and the current shit-show in Alberta are just as fucked up as any red state.
We’re no better than the Americans, just less visible on the world stage as we sit in their shadow.
