Adding to this: Because they paid Cohen back as income. So the 130k had to be increased to cover taxes. Though seems they paid because the taxes likely aren't that high.

You're reading into something that wasn't said.

The question was how much it cost. That's pretty clear. And that's not about how much she earned as a porn star.

I mean, Apple was never innovative, so you surely can get something better somewhere else?

That wasn't stated by this person, no? It is a common fallacy to disprove a claim that wasn't made.

I heard they were pretty good, on par and better than M3s.

I only saw that claim in an article where they explained that those chips (Snapdragon) aren't anything special. Apparently yet another case that a company uses misleading benchmarks.

Again, the judge purposely made it that the cases would overlap. This could've been done with already. Initially there wasn't any overlap. If you check the actions by this judge it's pretty easy to see that she is delaying plus trying to make it difficult for his other cases to be scheduled.

The case could've been held and be done with. There was assignment across the various cases. This judge delayed on purpose. Delayed while not freeing up the planned time this case would be held. Thereby trying to mess up the planning of other cases.

Here's a question: why now?

There have been many previous attempts. Why now? It takes time to go for a new plan. They're likely working on a new attempt.

The president can declassify documents.

There's a process only for certain documents. The president cannot declassify all documents.

You're making claims but you aren't providing anything to back that up. A bit unfortunate.

You can't delay a case due to classification issues if the documents are no longer classified

They are classified for a reason. Further, that'll destroy the case. I really urge you to read up on this. Plus avoid right wing media.

If the documents really were sold there wouldn't be a good reason to keep them classified. The worst has already happened. The only thing keeping the documents classified does in that case is hamper the prosecution from pursuing the case.

How would declassifying not help? How would declassifying not cause the case to be impacted negatively because the case is about classified documents?

I can’t criticize the sitting american president for funding genocide

That comment is often made by certain people. Initially you imply "both parties are the same", then follow-up with the genocide comment about the current president. That does repeat the usual disinformation. And it seems you're "just asking questions" at the moment.

They commited a fucking insurrection and nothing happened.

Thousands of people were put in jail. Nothing was done about Trump because Republicans blocked that and Democrats couldn't do anything on their own. Currently nothing is being done thanks to the help of judges Trump appointed.

There's a huge difference in these parties. But it seems you just repeat propaganda by implying both parties are the same.

Republicans have the majority at the moment. A president isn't a dictator, though Trump is planning to become one.
