Just in time for Super Tuesday.
I'm sure the primary schedule played absolutely zero part in setting the date, though.

No idea why you guys are mad about the trial starting the day before Super Tuesday.
It's most likely going to rally support around Trump the day before the most decisive stretch of primary voting. Which is exactly why the judge set it then.

I can't believe I live in a USA that can and will now do shite like this. But here we are.

Smooth brained take.

All you can do is Vote accordingly until such time as enough of us are willing to lose our AC filled homes and streaming services washing over us and you know actually do something.
And by something I mean North/South type something. Only this time it’s along political lines.
We would need tens of millions willing to give up their comfortable lives before this comes to be. And I don’t see this happening.
Americans are fat, soft, and just want cold AC and Netflix. Not looking to sacrifice this to go Wolverine on some progs and uniparty shitheads.
We won’t do shite and we will just go to work and bitch and moan on TD.

That's the date Jack requested and the judge unsurprisingly gave it to him.

Ronbots and comrades getting excited they can polish up their "he needs to drop out for the best of all" mantra
Is there an extension appeal option at this point, cause the timing is BS. Especially if needing to review everything prior.
Democrats really are vile anti-American trash.

A federal judge set March 4 for the start of former President Donald Trump’s trial on charges related to his efforts to retain power in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
The date is one day before Super Tuesday, a key moment in next year’s presidential election, meaning that Trump may be in the courthouse when he otherwise would be on the campaign trail.
After Judge Tanya Chutkan announced the date at a Monday hearing, Trump’s lead attorney, John Lauro, told her that they would not be able to give Trump “adequate representation” given the time frame and that it was “inconsistent with the right to due process.”
Chutkan, though, concluded that Trump has represented by “zealous, experienced attorneys” and that prosecutors had gone further than they would in other case to provide access to discovery materials. She also noted that the former president has been aware of the grand jury investigation since September of last year. She repeatedly said that Trump will get “no more of less deference than any other defendant.”
Chutkan also said that she checked with the judge presiding over Trump’s trial on New York state charges, set to start on March 25, for any conflicts. That raises the prospect that that case, over hush money payments Trump allegedly made to Stormy Daniels, will be moved.
quote:
Smith’s team had argued that the speedier timeline “would vindicate the public’s strong interest in a speedy trial—an interest guaranteed by the Constitution and federal law in all cases, but of particular significance here, where the defendant, a former president, is charged with conspiring to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election, obstruct the certification of the election results, and discount citizens’ legitimate votes.”
But Trump’s team cited the more than 12.8 million records that they needed to sift through, as well as the complexity of the case and their planned motions, including one for selective prosecution on the theory that it was brought by Joe Biden against his likely election opponent.
At the Monday hearing, Lauro angrily argued that the prosecutors’ proposed time frame would deprive Trump of a fair trial. He at times interrupted the judge as she tried to speak, leading her to tell him to cool it a bit. “Let’s take the temperature down a moment,” she told him.
Lauro said that the trial date was a “question of whether one man, one United States citizen gets a fair trial or not.” He argued that Trump could not on the schedule, suggesting that only their proposed date would suffice.
“I understand you have a sacred obligation … but let’s not overlook the fact that Mr. Trump has considerable resources that every criminal defendant does not,” Chutkan said. She noted that the vast majority of materials in discovery were duplicative, and Molly Gaston, attorney for the Justice Department, said that just 58,000 pages were at the heart of their case, including grand jury witness interview transcripts and exhibits.
Chutkan had previously indicated that Trump’s campaign schedule would not impact how she handled the case. When it came to the trial schedule, she said on Monday, she compared the situation to that of a professional athlete. She said that it would be “inappropriate” to set a date to accommodate that person’s playing schedule.
quote:
At the hearing, Chutkan also said that Lauro must inform the court if he planned to poll prospective D.C. jurors as part of a motion to change the venue for the trial. That is out of concern that the jury pool would be tainted.

Trump wouldn’t be running for office if he didn’t think that was his best option to avoid jail.

I've said it before and I stand by it. Aside from Trump, the Republicans have completely proven themselves to be inept and unwilling to do anything to fight for us. The best chance you've got is to support the least radical Democrats and carve out ways to make money in a Biden type economy. Because watching them indict their biggest rival 4 fricking times while the GOP is launching these go-nowhere, do-nothing type investigations.. not doing a frick to protect our very real and very important GOP assets. I've seen all I need to see.
Like George Carlin said "It's a big club, and you ain't in it". I'm ready to get in that club so I can take care of my family and my money. Y'all keep propping up a 2 party system that doesn't give a flying frick about you. frick the continuous ruse. I'm gonna get mine.

Going to be dismissed by SCOTUS as being violative of first amendment free speech right

Maybe Jim Jordan can call Judge Chutkin or Jack Smith before Congress on March 4, 2024?
