It would also be nice to listen to the bullshit questions of the Supreme Court justices like, for example Alito. They use hypotheticals to take an argument to its logical extreme where everything breaks down.

If I remember correctly isn’t this a tool of Sophists? So the Sophists make silly hypothetical questions and then force thoughtful Americans to drink hemlock.

You are so right. Those 6 extremist justices on the Supreme Court are making me sick with their obvious BIAS & corruption.

The questions asked in the recent case of Fisher, made it so obvious that they want to rule in favor of Fisher & thereby completely screw the govt’s case against almost all the J6 insurrectionists & perhaps cause Jack Smith to have to recharge his case against Trump.

They are hell bent on destroying all gains made for regular citizens over the past 50 yrs. Makes me so angry that I want to scream.

Wanting to scream?

From 1976 movie NETWORK. Just change the stressors to Trump, SCOTUS, war, timid Democrats, rampant racism and more.

Scene from movie by a newscaster:

We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’

Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. (shouting) You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’

I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!…You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’

Great scene in great movie and apropos with Trump and MAGA.

Sarah really is a charmer, in virtually every photo of her she has this sour puss expression. Hope they nail her ass to the wall. As for the other asshat may he go down in flames.

Who, Huck-A-Fuck Senior? He is absolutely some kind of monster, and if he hasn't sexually assaulted his children I will be stunned, because that's just the kind of foul aura he radiates.

Please note that I have no evidence of any of this, other than watching him, and watching his daughter try to live up, or down, to the kind of man her father is.

“. There is an entire actual science to it, but we all know MAGA doesn’t do science!”

Just my opinion. Background:

1. I was an expert witness for 25 years in all levels of court including federal

2. My college undergraduate degree includes two courses short of having a triple major with a hard science, a social science and mathematics.

3. My graduate degree is primarily concentrated in “Decision Science” which includes 18 units of statistics and probability theory.

4. I have read and worked under the Federal Rules of Evidence which covers science and the use of statistics.

With that background, it is my opinion that the courts do not even understand what “science” is. I’ve been crossed by attorneys with backgrounds in engineering including recently. Engineers are NOT scientists. Another example, without specific training medical doctors are not scientists.

So, when lawyers and courts talk about science, I am bemused.

You make some very valid points here--thank you for your informed response :-)

Interesting to note that originally the Judge excluded Wednesdays from this schedule so that he could attend to other matters he oversees in court, that are related to cases with people who have mental health issues, making him immensely qualified to deal with the case and criminal element monopolizing headlines this week...due to delays in this first phase already he may decide he has to include Wednesdays. May justice prevail. Vote 💙

I was reading "Maroon" and, while I also recognize it from Looney Tunes, it was originally "descendants of Africans in the Americas and Islands of the Indian Ocean who escaped from slavery, through flight or manumission, and formed their own settlements."

So calling any of that lot "Maroons" is giving them far too much credit....

I went looking for it because I seem to remember having heard the term "maroon" referring to all-Black communities in the U.S. Southeast on one of the late Anthony Bourdain's shows. Turns out I remembered rightly.

I still miss Bourdain and his shows.

I believe Huckleberry spent 19 grand on that lectern. Perhaps pilfered from "state of emergency" funds she released in advance of the solar eclipse (Kross-Eyed Karen was probably worried that Chicago lib-ruls would show up and use those four long minutes to start stealing chickens ;-)

If he'd kept his yap shut there's a good chance that would have happened and it still might. If the country is divided almost down the middle, New York a little less so, that still leaves four or five if picked at random who would lean toward acquittlal and only one has to survive voir dire. A hung jury would mean six more weeks in court, but the victory lap would be a blow to democracy.

1. I guess we should be grateful that Travis is such an idiot to say the quiet part out loud, but I can guarantee that the Judge and prosecutors are one step ahead. Actually probably miles ahead.

2. Remember Melissa McCarthy’s take on Sean Spicer and the lectern? That’s who Huckster reminds me of.
