[This is why Republicans are particularly mad about this ]

“… Senate Democrats and Republicans post-election cut a deal that cleared the way for votes on about a dozen of Biden’s remaining trial court nominees in exchange for not pushing forward with four appellate court nominees, including Park.

A spokesperson for Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate majority leader, has said all four lacked sufficient votes to be confirmed.

That left four seats without confirmed nominees that Trump could try to fill upon taking office on 20 January. But two vacancies were contingent upon two Democrat-appointed judges following through on their plans to leave active service.

Those judges included Wynn, 70, who in January announced plans to take senior status contingent upon a successor being confirmed. On Friday, he told Biden he had changed his mind.

“I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused,” Wynn wrote.

The Article III Project, a group run by Trump ally Mike Davis, late Friday announced it had meanwhile filed judicial misconduct complaints against the two trial court judges who likewise rescinded retirement plans post-election.

Those judges are the US district judge Max Cogburn in North Carolina and the US district judge Algenon Marbley in Ohio. Neither responded to requests for comment. …”

He’s a fucking rapist. And you voted for him.

Stop trying to justify the fact that you’re the kind of prick that would vote for a rapist in order to own the libs.

If you’re going to be a scumbag, at least be man enough to admit it.

15M settlement says otherwise. No one thinks Trump “raped” Carroll.

It says the legal verdict was not rape. A lot of people think he raped her. Isn't it correct the the statute of limitations had run out on bringing legal charges? Iow, you're doing the typical misrepresentation and outright lie BS, aren't you?

The judge in the case said that the assault amounted to rape in the colloquial sense of the word but not under the arcane NY law. So you are correct that he was not found liable for rape, he was found liable for sexual assault of forcibly penetrating the victim with his digits (she couldn’t tell whether it was his penis or his fingers, which is why the jury found him liable on the lesser assault charge).

But your response points out the kneel to Zod supplication by ABC.

Trump eyes privatizing U.S. Postal Service, citing financial losses​

Trump feuded with the mail agency in his first term. Privatizing it could shake up consumer shipping and business supply chains.

“President-elect Donald Trump has expressed a keen interest in privatizing the U.S. Postal Service in recent weeks, three people with knowledge of the matter said, a move that could shake up consumer shipping and business supply chains and push hundreds of thousands of federal workers out of the government.

Trump has discussed his desire to overhaul the Postal Service at his Mar-a-Lago estate with Howard Lutnick, his pick for commerce secretary and the co-chair of his presidential transition, the people said. Earlier this month, Trump also convened a group of transition officials to ask for their views on privatizing the agency, one of the people said.

Told of the mail agency’s annual financial losses, Trump said the government should not subsidize the organization, the people said. …”

It's a public service. It's not supposed to make money.

Do they still have that unrealistic pension funding plan? I think that's what it was. Seems like at one time they were having to fund employee pensions/retirements or something like that atypically in advance.

The settlement doesn't exonerate him. It simply says that ABC used incorrect statement in relation to that one case. You are a lawyer, you know this goes no further than that specific case.

My understanding is that several women accused him, but for one reason or another they didn't go to court. Why doesn't he sue all of them if he really didn't do anything? He has the money to go after them if they are lying.

Au contraire. Actually having a wonderful time today relaxing at my beach house. Things are looking up for Heels’ bb team and UNC just hired GOAT Belichick!

Trump is on an absolute ROLL. Notice the fun that was had by all at the Army Navy game.

It is objectively tragic how little credit Biden - like him or not - gets for anything, considering how monumental some of the changes he helped enact are.

Meanwhile, a morally odious man unfit for any office gets (and takes) credit for anything that goes right, even if he had nothing to do with it.

I sincerely hope history is kinder to him than even those in his own party have been.
