He's going straight to hell.
I'm curious, why would you say that?
It was a joke. He was on fire. Easy transition.

From my brief reading about Mr. On Fire, it seems like he wasn't 100% in command of his mental faculties. I feel bad for the guy.

If you are rooting for Trump to get off with a hung jury, here's the best chance of it that I've seen so far. One of the jurors admits that they get their news from *Truth Social*. I can't believe they let a person like that on the jury. Oh well.

Seconded. Judge the case on the evidence and merits and the law.

I was going to say, I wouldn't have made the joke if he hadn't done it to himself but yeah, you didn't need to read anything to know the guy had mental issues.

It's weird. I woke up this morning thinking about this. "I bet some Trumper is just hiding his true feelings. What's to stop a juror from doing that." Is that considered perjury? Can they research the person and kick them off once a trial has started?

You mean exactly what the jurors got thrown off for? I bet more are still doing this to get on the trial they've already decided in their head.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Did the juror Marty is talking about get thrown off? And your last sentence is what I'm worried about.

There were a number of jurors already dismissed as they hid the bias. Not talking about this 1 juror.

I think we would agree that it's pretty freaking hard to find a jury of people who don't have strong opinions already about Trump. And, for what it's worth, I'm not sure how much you can really trust people who have no opinion about the guy. It's like, where have you been the past 7 years? Would you want such an important decision in the hands of someone so uninformed?

This is just insane talk. Even thing that cross the line should fall under total immunity? Does anybody honestly believe that?

Nodding vigorously. "Sleepy Don" not being discussed much, but it's pretty crazy how much nobody cares if Trump does the exact thing he has for years accused and mocked Biden for doing (being a sleepy old man).
