Soooo.. wait...

Are you telling me that those doors wouldn't open just by pushing on the handles, even though he is inside? That in order for them to open, someone would have to consciously release the magnetic locks?

Hmmm... interesting...

It may improve his chances for an appeal.

Trump himself requested a bench trial (no jury, just the judge) specifically in the NY case. That's his right, under US law. And it answers concerns such as Brainey's "when a judge just decides things without a trial." directly.

And he is now going all-out in social media assaulting and defaming said judge, who still has matters left to decide for or against Trump. That's the part which bewilders me.

I can't even. We are so far outside the norms of judiciary precedent at this specific moment (Thursday Sep 28, 2023) that

I have been contemplating the demographics of the left and the right. How would you describe the people who vote for each party? My initial thought was that the liberals lack common sense and are more emotionally driven. They might be more educated or scholastically ahead but lack street smarts.

I'm trying to put together a list of words for each. I'm so biased that I keep typing shithead over and over in my list for the libs. Especially after the whole SB1 gas tax manipulation.

Interesting stuff. I do kind of wish that the creator had put a bit of effort into cleaning up some of the customary AI telltale-glitches.

Clicking the link takes you to a page created by someone who goes by the name Norman Lincoln Rockwell.

One wonders if this is an homage to George Lincoln Rockwell, the WWII Navy veteran who, in 1959, founded the American Nazi Party.

“Terrorists” are reserved for US citizens who love America. Surry!

After Trump took over, the total number of civilian Federal employees increased to 2.86 million by the end of 2020, which is the highest number ever in US history.

Since Biden entered office, the number has remained fairly consistent.

That was almost entirely the thinning out and then re-establishment of the military.

The numbers I posted, as I noted at the time, concern civilian Federal employees only.
