I was just told by another person in the truck stop.....
falling asleep in Trump’s defense wasn’t as bad as Hillary passing out at the 9-11 ceremony in 2016.

I was waiting in line to checkout as I was grabbing a breakfast sandwich, the news was on the TV when he udder his opinion and I just couldn’t hold my tongue! I responded “when you fall asleep in a trial for your freedom? I am sure you should be awake & aware of what is going on”? Then I told that person “Hillary had been sick and was wearing a flack jacket and I’m sure in Trump’s situation, if he was not up all night on Truth Social complaining about everything there was to complain about then he could have stayed awake since it was only the first day of the trial, plus isn’t funny how the past is always brought up to defend Trump”?

Of course that person didn’t respond to the common sense of the situation.

All those protesters blocking the roads and bridges should be cleared away with snow plows. They need to bring back the old-school method of dealing with people like that, nightsticks, dogs and water cannons with some tear gas thrown in for good measure.
Hospitalized a few of them and I think they’ll get the message.

However, the prosecutors excused me with one of their preemptory challenges. It's their right. My progressive views indicated that I would be a loud voice during deliberations and they just didn't want to take that chance.

It’s more likely they bumped you because you’re a loudmouth asshole That would second-guess everything the prosecutor had to say.

You also sound like you’re way too proud of yourself with an oversized ego :thatsright:

The DUmpster / VIDEO: Hugh Jackman Worships His Bill Gates God

Has actor Hugh Jackman fallen on hard financial times or does he genuinely worship Bill Gates as someone who knows what is best for everybody else? The latter scenario is actually scarier than the first.

Yesterday's insurrectionist displays of blocking major thoroughfares and highways along with airport entrances shows that the HAMAS lefties were in full force.

So you found your blind squirrel, DUmmy.

The question as to Dem/Prog/leftist pols and university academics participating in the blockages is not "whether", but "how many". Especially the Golden Gate Bridge and SF-Oakland Bay Bridge, which are near UC Berserkeley, UC San Francisco, and CSUSF.

Among the questions asked of prospective jurors was one about the selection process that was designed to exclude or discourage observant Jews (and Muslims) from participating. Prospective jurors were informed that selection hearings would be held on Fridays and could run past sundown. I guess Bragg and the biased judge are afraid observant Jews would have too strong a sense of what constitutes proof and of justice (and maybe that Muslims are indirectly sympathetic to Trump due to being POed at LIEden).

I've been reading this site since 2001. I found it while taking a web design course at the Empire State Building back in that summer before the towers fell, and it has since become my go-to for news.

BOINGggggggg

Yeah, while I don't have the means or care to factcheck the claim (s)he was learning to code ( :-) ) in the Empire State Building, I find non-credible the claim that (s)he has used DU as a go-to for news but never gave in to the itch/urge to post there. I don't think "political animals" of whatever POV have that degree of self-control.

Will we see people cheering on and defending Iran
In the US?

My guess is yes

I served on a jury last week for a criminal trial. During the jury selection we were asked several times if we could be objective while hearing LEO testimony. There was video of the entire thing, anyone not vision impaired could clearly see the criminal acts. Still, 2 jurors flat out said during deliberation they hate cops. Perp basically walked on the most serious charges.

My experience as a prospective juror in a criminal case
All prospective jurors were under oath to answer truthfully.

I made the first cut. Educated with three degrees and nine years of college and graduate studies.

Then came the survey. Our present employment. What type of media did we regularly engage in. Including social media.

I answered that I was a defense attorney and I didn't entirely trust police to accurately record what actually happened.

I also put down that I was a devotee of MSNBC and regularly viewed Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Joy Reed, etc. For radio, I listened to WBAI, an independent franchise of Pacifica Radio. I listed one program on it, "On The Count," which is devoted to the rights of convicted inmates.

I was asked if I could listen to this criminal case and remain impartial. I responded that I could.

However, the prosecutors excused me with one of their preemptory challenges. It's their right. My progressive views indicated that I would be a loud voice during deliberations and they just didn't want to take that chance.

So, as far as TSF's team wanting their jury panel to contain just one dissenting voice, it will be difficult. If that one voice lied on his/her survey and his/her "interview" with the judge before being seated, s/he will be removed during deliberations and replaced with an alternate juror. The proverbial fine-tooth comb will be applied to ALL prospects.
