Donald J Trump: Rip Van Winkle edition

I read the daily mail

So what the black teacher said.

Or they find not guilty out of fear

I voted for her most likely Maga. Whatever she is she is lying. She is an educated woman. Not having an opinion is impossible.

Frankly I’m confused by anyone who is seated on this jury. I’m a relatively civic minded person, but there is absolutely no chance I’d allow myself to be on the jury if only out of concern for the safety of myself and my family. Serving on a Trump jury is a guarantee that your life is irreparably changed for years to come. I’d do a month sequestered on a murder trial, but I’d say anything in the world to avoid this one.

Would you want to be on a Trump Jury?

  • I would try to get on the jury
  • I would let the chips fall where they may
  • I would try not to get on the jury
  • Bastard

I would try. I would tell them beetlejuice unstuck politics and vigorously defend the objective nonpartisan nature of any post they bring up

Should have ā€œunlimitedā€ STRIKES! So unfai… Zzz

I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ā€œunlimitedā€ when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country. Don’t worry, we have the First Worst also, as the Witch Hunt continues! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!

Never heard of unlimited strikes. But judge can strike anyone right?

Honestly, if I thought there were real consequences associated with this trial, sure I’d volunteer to be the guy who gets to put him away. MAGA chuds don’t scare me much, if I move downtown the hoveround militia won’t dare come after me.

He was probably referring to the number of vetos the defense gets.

The judge can boot anyone he wants.

I responded ā€œlet the chips fall where they mayā€ because I think once you’re in the process, one is inclined to treat it seriously and not game it either way. Although the two month timeline may have me trying to get excused, but that has no connection to it being a Trump trial.

yeah i don’t love the idea of letting a seemingly conservative leaning litigator onto the jury if i’m the prosecution. he’s going to run the room for sure. anyone that says they dont or can’t know Trump’s character is absolutely lying.

also it’s amusing that two lawyers have already gotten through. the only jury selection i had to attend recently as a potential juror there were 5 attorneys, and all of us got struck for both trials.(1 for cause)

I’d be on the jury, if anything happened afterwards, as long as I didn’t die I could turn it into a liberal grift…

I’m shocked at the little faith people have in the jury process and I’m sure people are shocked that I’m shocked

Barring a full out shaman type brainwashed Trump supporter, I have faith that most people can put aside their biases and go by the evidence. I mean, sure you try and whittle out people with strong feelings either way, but you gotta trust that they’ll go by the evidence

Also, I read somewhere once where people who ARE susceptible to brainwashing won’t necessarily do well to hold onto their beliefs in a setting where they are forced to hear and be exposed to FACTS for days on end

Either way, I’m not asking for a sweet summer child mentality (I’m also worried about the possibility of a rogue juror), but let’s try to have some optimism around here and not be so god damn depressing all the time. It’ll be in the hands of a jury of his peers. We need to accept whatever the outcome is

Doesn’t matter though. It’s outrageous because it’s happening to Trump, not that it happens to your local arrested guy.

If I was the judge I’d have called his bluff and said it’s ok to go. Last place he wants to be is at Barron’s graduation

I can’t remember if this was posted before but since there’s no court stuff today, here you go.

My wife is basically exactly this way. Doctorate, doesn’t give a shit about politics, probably wouldn’t vote if I didn’t make it easy for her.

This shits not even true, what I read is that the judge said he’s open to it and hasn’t ruled on it
