The least surprising news of the day
So much winning by Trump’s lawyers this week. Hope he calls a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landcaping.

Darth P is a legend lol
He's far to "focused" on one of his own kids as it is...
Awful, but not in the least surprising.
Other way around and they'd be up in arms.

Let us not forget making "Blue Steel" a reality.
After 12 pints of brown over mild and thoughts on imaginary careers to impress people on the internet, you may ask yourself 'what about the oprics????'...............................................................................................................
That’s only ladies nipples because sexism…or something
Bloody hell, Talking Heads really lost the plot with the 12" version.
It wasnt obvious at all what was going to happen, all it needed was for one juror to have any doubt and it would be a hung jury. One of the jurors had a truth social account.
I fail to see how it was cack handed.
The Judge did very well given the magnitude of the case.
hahaha, omg, Erics birthday is Jan 6!

It went against trump, and he has thrown a few dollars farage's way, the same farage that was so useful to boris. maniac-tory-pete's love-in for boris knows no bounds. If only sunak could have been accused of being on the jury or better yet was the judge, backstabs all round.
@peteblue boris and farage's mate lost, hankey up those tears and face it, your man is a loser and a criminal, he'll struggle to get employed flipping burgers from here. And I am delighted.
Just riffing here, to be clear...haha
Everyone experiences existential malaise, irrepressible angst about the unpredictability of life, and inevitable questions about what the future holds. And these common feelings then run head-on into daily frustrations of life as small as waiting in line for a transaction or being stuck in traffic or being frustrated with your job, your relationship, your family, etc. These experiences and feelings are then compounded by social media where folks are depicted living the good life and providing (mostly fictitious) lessons about how to achieve that good life. And this is further compounded by a larger political strategy where the divisions of rich and poor are growing, not shrinking; and so the frustrations at work--due to increasing bureaucratic corporatization--get worse, not better. But everywhere around you, it seems—at least as depicted in the media—has more money and more happiness than you. And with the frustrations at work, and seeing other folks live the good life, as well as the continued existential malaise and daily irritations leads--for some--to an overestimated sense of privilege that things should be better. But politicians are full of empty promises. And the malaise that one experiences turns from existential and mental into a mumbling daily soliquy, and then into the beginnings of publicly visable aggrieved entitlement, where frustrations are acted out with anger and anti-social behavior. And this is compounded by social media algorithms that prey on individuals who don't have a good social outlet to talk things out, or who are too stubborn to do so. And the grifters step in, preying on you, telling you deserve better, but not in a good way like being decent or just chilling out but in a bad way, like it's a zero-sum gain and if you lose, someone else is winning. And this feeds back into the sense of entitlement and the daily frustrations and the existential malaise and leads to social alienation. And swindler politicians and social media grifters, aware you are socially alienated, vulnerable, aggrieved, and falsely entitled, know that $$ or votes are dependent on their ability to make sure your angst is directed at a fictitious enemy, such as immigrants or LGBTQ+ or pronouns or idealistic uni kids, etc., And your angst and rage should especially be directed at politicians who don't support the increasing divide between rich and poor, or who don't agree that immigration is a major problem, or who do support a living wage, who do fight for a living wage, etc. And these fictitious entities become the enemy and a larger distraction from the real issues in life, which are, socioeconomically and simplistically speaking, being kind, being well-adjusted to the unpredictability of daily life and the malaise that it can occasionally bring, and also being fairly compensated and treated humanely for the work you do. Those who are distracted from these real-life issues get further alienated, become further despairing and frustrated, and vent their frustrations through rage rather than through introspection. They find communities of like-minded individuals on social media, which reinforces a social norm that it is okay to hate people and also okay to be violent against them. These communities develop their own norms and lore and symbolism. And they form very strong concepts of in-group/out-group membership where out-group members are treated as targets or prey or dispensible. And here we are. Angry rage-filled folks trying to ruin the lives of their fellow citizens who performed an important civic duty of being on a jury trial.
