I understand the fact that the masses are losing their patience. We do need to let off steam from time to time. We have also lost the night show hosts who use to be a release valve for the pend up emotions. Then the writers' guild started their strike and the shows stop.

I accept that the more matured behaviour is to follow Jack Smith's style. No shouting. No social media. Let the court do all the talking. The issue is that the layperson on the street cannot see the wheels of justice in motion. If Trump is playing by the rules, he would just plead guilty. But he is rich (Or his superpac is rich) so he has lawyers. They can do stuff like suggest a trial date in 2026. And that is just one person.

You are right that the supporters for Democrats are tired. This game is now changing into time-wasting exercise, loopholes hunting or rule book changing chore. Asking the supporters to watch all the timewasting gamesmanship is painful to say the least. I won't even talk about the things that the opposition team supporters are throwing at us.

19 people are charged in Georgia including Trump. At least 9 are lawyers. One is a pastor. What rule book is the other team using?
