The judge should allow the ones saying that Trump specifically belongs in prison to be stricken with cause, but the ones about Trump being a shithead or Republicans in general being corrupt should require burning peremptory strikes.

I'm not necessarily saying he should go to prison, just that I have a bottle of scotch set aside for the day he does. Or if he dies rage-tweeting on the shitter.

Everything about american jury selection is wack, they should just randomize two team captains from the pool and then let them pick five more each because they'll have to do a variety of game show challenges during recesses and sidebars

At a minimum there's going to be ketchup on the walls from this. A full-bore narcissist does not gracefully handle other people saying things like those tweets and Facebook posts, AND he's got someone in a position of authority over him saying "You will do what I say here." He's going to be inching over the line every possible time he thinks he can get away with it with every petty, spiteful act of bitterness and hatred he can come up with. Guaranteed, that's going to be just the cosmic background radiation of the trial. I will also be surprised if he doesn't throw a full on temper tantrum at some point. He's going to be a pressure cooker bomb building heat every single day and the only question in my mind is where, when and on who he explodes to vent his narcissistic rage.

Yep. The jury members are going to be anonymous, but the public poo poo shared is probably enough, like "worker at Stuff and Things Bookstore in Brooklyn". Like the foreperson is Irish-born and such-and-such. The meme-sharing poo poo isn't enough. pmchem posted:i hope the prosecutor draws out jury selection to dozens and dozens and dozens of rejected jurors so new yorkers get the chance to endlessly dunk on that orange fraud, speaking their social media burns straight to his face Apparently with New York rules, the prosecution and defense each get an amount of no-excuse dismissals they can use up. Of the 500 (I think) jurors pulled in, half were immediately excused for not being able to be impartial by their own admission. I believe the rest got the long-rear end questionnaire, had their names revealed to the prosecution/defense, and that process is what we've been seeing today. Neither side can really delay things that much - the judge has particularly overridden some Donnie attempts at throwing jurors out during questioning. The general goal is to show the judge "uh this black woman says she can be impartial but here is a meme I found on her facebook that says ORANGE MAN BAD". I believe the prosecution still has 6 auto-dismissals left and Donnie has 4. The judge thinks they might get done by the end of the week - they got 7/12 of the mains done, plus need another ~6 alternates. No jury picking will happen tomorrow, then Thursday/Friday will be the rest of voir dire.

The shape of his hair in this reminded me of something: He's a fake blonde Gumby. "He was once just a little orange slab of clay… Trumpy! You should see what Trumpy can do today… Trumpy! He can walk into any trial, With his crappy rear end lawyers, too, If you lack a heart, then Trumpy's a part of you!" I know I'm trying too hard. It's late. I'll show myself out.

(actually chose Chapter 31 halfway through too) The decision states that the reason he was entitled to both was because of the multiple periods of service. If you enlisted initially, paid the MGIB $1200, served three years, and re-enlisted for another three that were all post 9/11, you’d be eligible for both at 100%. Based on the opinion alone, a single four year enlistment with nothing else would not qualify you to use both. I saw all of this with the caveat that the VA will update it’s guidance to clarify who is/isn’t eligible for both.

Seems like it could be one of those "why are all of our warehouses burning" stories from last year when people pointed out that those were happening at the same rate they had been in any other years.
