They're gonna blow this case.


quote:

As the second day of Manafort's trial got underway Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III indicated he was worried that referring to the businessmen who funded Manafort's political work in Ukraine as "oligarchs" had the tendency to suggest that the defendant was engaged in shady and unsavory work.

"We're not going to have a case tried that he associated with despicable people and, therefore, he's despicable," the judge declared during an exchange before jurors were brought into the courtroom. "That's not the American way."

"Oligarchy is just despotic power exercised by a privileged few," Ellis observed. "Principals of high schools are oligarchs in that sense. What I want to avoid ... is how you use the term oligarch to mean he was consulting and being paid by people [who] are criminals. Of course, there will be no evidence about that."

Ellis said that if the term simply meant a wealthy person, it might not be objectionable. "Well, Mr. Soros would be an oligarch by that definition, and so would Mr. Koch, but we wouldn't call them that," the judge said, referring to politically active American billionaires George Soros and, apparently, to either Charles or David Koch, or perhaps both.

"The word 'oligarch' has come to have a pejorative meaning about which there will be no evidence in this trial," the judge said.

Prosecutor Greg Andres rose to object to the government being prevented from using the term.

"We don't call American businessmen oligarchs. Ukrainian businessmen are referred to as oligarchs. Those are the facts," Andres said.

Ellis interrupted to disagree. "Those are not the facts of this case," he snapped, saying that any witnesses using the term would be offering an opinion.

Florida gets weird poo poo, Ohio just gets sad, awful poo poo. There's a reason Ohio Man memes aren't a thing.

Or maybe Ohio just sucks so bad that whatever happens there becomes unremarkable by default, like when they had that mob war in the 70s and 35 IEDs were set in Cleveland in 1976 alone and nobody remembers.

The major thing about human poop is that it contains human waste, which means by definition the stuff in it is not beneficial for us. If it's manure from humans, you would have to more stringently treat it because it contains pathogens that are fully capable of infecting other humans since you don't have the convenient cross species barrier. There's also the possibility of trace medications showing up in stool but that's mostly done through urine.

Our sadbrains meds are slowly leeching into the environment and loving with animals because we currently do not treat wastewater to remove trace amounts of medication from it. As if climate change wasn't enough.
