The Capitol Police are the only police I will excuse for being extra jumpy.  But if they had the correct authorization they should not be asked to leave or detained because some Trumptard bitches got their panties in a wad.

Tony Shalhoub on “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and Eugene Levy on “Schitt’s Creek” were both some great choices as well.

Melissa’s dad.

I’m guessing the official seal for the Capitol Police includes a Latin phrase that, translated, reads: “Too Little, Too Late.”

Well, obviously I wouldn’t fucking know.

And the complainant? This guy (sock)

I thought the grades were an inside joke.

This is the weirdest timeline. You could tell me Stick Stickley was accused of treason and I’d believe you. 

He has a pretty good agent.

Can you share what brand you buy for $10?

I’ve mostly avoided following this too, too closely, but this a defamation case. Watching that video, the juror’s statements make them sound completely uninformed as to what the legal definition of defamation is, and who the onus is on, which is a judges job to make sure they understand it. It makes zero sense to…

Hearing stories like this and knowing how lawyers actively try to remove educated people from juries makes me convinced that, god forbid I ever find myself in that situation, I would almost certainly choose a bench trial. At least the judge will have a passable understanding of the legal system and the rules of…

“However the juror insists that the jury “followed the evidence,” and that those who did use social media sites “made a point not to talk about it.”

I’m not going to state my opinion on this trial, because I watched as little of it as possible.

If I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t conflate my reaction to someone else’s expressions with “following the evidence,” as this guy did. You aren’t following the evidence if you’re trusting your gut reaction on how trustworthy someone appears.

absolutely psychotic Depp stans

Hashing it the first time didn’t help anyone, but here we are.

at least it’s a somewhat new angle compared to the absolutely psychotic Depp stans this case unearthed that would respond to my points about the UK court finding it “probably true” that he beat her—”well the UK courts have a different legal standard for defamation and also YOU JUST WANT TO FUCK HEARD YOU PATHETIC…

Nice of the jury to get in on the victim blaming.
