28. I have been in a lot of legal battles
Wed Mar 5, 2025, 10:04 PM

and from that I have learned to only look at the big picture. The big picture is the day the judge makes a decision. All the little battles (motions, appeals, etc.) leading up to the big battle are not worth the time spent worrying about them. Things can change with the next motion. If a person agonizes over them, they can make life miserable.
This is a legal battle. Why? Because trump doesn't know how to do what he's trying to do by democratic principles. He doesn't have the ability. Thus the correct means of dealing with this in our system is through a lawsuit.
Furthermore, he hasn't won any of these battles except for one, and that is being appealed. Even his bought and paid for stooges on the SC didn't give him a free pass this morning.
So I don't know what you find distressing.
Your distress is all time you'll never get back. I'm not above distress myself but I'll reserve it for something like my transmission going out on my car, not some cheap crook like trump.
