Once Upon An Indefinite Postponement

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Oh, joy to the world, it seems they’ve done it again! Our judicial friends have decided to treat us to another round of the endless, maddening dance around political shenanigans. This time around, a judge has indefinitely postponed a certain case involving classified documents and a former president who loves the spotlight more than moths love a lamp.

Now, let’s get this straight. Indefinitely? Do these folks think that “indefinitely” is some kind of new brand of legal chic? If I ever missed a performance indefinitely, I’d have tomatoes thrown at me at my next show—if there ever was a next show!

So here we are, watching the hourglass as the sands of justice slowly… stop. Not slow down, mind you—completely stop. It’s like watching a sitcom rerun for the hundredth time, expecting a different ending. Will they? Won’t they? Oh, who the heck knows!

The Fountain of Never-Ending Legal Delays

It’s the fountain of youth for political careers: the longer this drags out, the longer people are talking about you. And let’s not kid ourselves; being talked about is the gold standard in politics. Forget gold, oil, or bitcoin; attention is the real currency—and boy, does it accrue interest.

And speaking of attention, isn’t it just fantastic how these cases drag on? I mean, if you’re a lawyer working on this, congratulations, you just hit the jackpot. This case will fund your kids through college, grad school, and possibly even their own legal careers, at which point they can take over the same case for you. It’s a family business at this point!

The Absurdity Theater; Starring Documents and Indecisions

Imagine a universe where every single paper could potentially be a ticking time bomb. Now imagine someone saying, “Let’s just put this ticking bomb in a box and maybe forget about it.” That’s what indefinitely delaying such cases feels like. What’s next? Are we setting courtroom dates by rolling dice or reading tea leaves?

So there, nestled comfortably between Kafka and Orwell, sits our current state of political theater. It’s like a burlesque show where nobody wants to take their coat off. Instead of moving forward, we’re perennially stuck at the part where everyone’s fumbling with their zippers.

Now, let’s be real. This isn’t just procrastination; this is an art form. Maybe we can send the whole legal team to the Olympics. I hear procrastination might be a demonstration sport in 2028. They’d clinch the gold before they even showed up, because chances are the event will be postponed indefinitely.

Where Do We Go From Here?

So, dear citizens, grab your popcorn, or better yet, a comfy pillow, because it looks like we’re in for a long, slow, possibly never-ending ride. The good news? Maybe, just maybe, by the time this case concludes, we’ll all have figured out how to telepathically communicate, or at well-least we’ll finally understand the correct number of days in indefinitely.

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled, or don’t—it’s not like we’re expecting any swift resolutions. Our best bet might be to start making bets. Which will come first? The resolution of this case or the discovery of intelligent life in the cosmos? I’m putting my money on the aliens.

Here’s to hoping that someday we can all look back on this and laugh—or at least sigh exasperatedly. Until then, stay tuned, or don’t; you probably won’t miss much!
