      All the TVs at my gym are broadcasting jury selection footage like it's fuckin draft season

      Juror #5 is an married man who runs an IT business for companies that make shoes

      It's so boring

          Why do defendants even need to be there for jury selection? Isn’t it just lawyers fighting each other over who gets to see the case?

            Mostly just to make sure the lawyers don’t completely fuck up and so the defendant can go “Wait I know that guy don’t let him on the jury”

            Not really needed here

        You have TVs at your gym? Mine only has a random selection of music in the background.

        I don't know if having TVs playing Trump's trial at the gym is better than a non-zero chance of hearing Saliva's Click Click Boom, which no kidding happened a few months ago

          Yeah

          Mine also plays music too

          It's hell for my sensory issues, so I usually just listen to my own music with the noise canceling on my buds tuned very high

          You have a gym? We had to go work out in rolled up newspaper in middle of road! And when we got back, dad would cut us in half with a bread knife and dance about on our graves!

        Also they're actively doxxing jurors while writing breathless op Ed's about how completely unacceptable it is that Trump is trying to dox jurors.

          I would ask for a dismissal and point to the journalists sitting in the back tweeting away as the reason

    To be honest, if I'm not on the stand... why do I need to stay awake? That's what I'm paying the lawyers for... sad-boi

    Man I'd be sleeping too. What's the point of staying awake, what's even the point of being there, it's all going to be up to your lawyers unless you've got a legal degree

    I've never been in court

    I assume every cable channel is doing breathless coverage of this trial shit while ignoring the blood-soaked genocide in Gaza

      Hours ago an MSNBC anchor said something I can't get out of my head: "Israel's lowkey military strike".

    Elderly man falls asleep during the day. I think this is probably true for close to 100 percent of the geriatric rulling class

    Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere And build them a home, a little place of their own. The Fletcher Memorial Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings

    And they can appear to themselves every day On closed circuit TV. To make sure they’re still real It’s the only connection they feel!
