But surely "Sleepy Joe" wasn't projection, right? lol
Reminder that this is a criminal trial and not a civil one like the last few that have been in the news.

How did you make your content 9 miles long?

On Memmy, your comment is several pages long. I spent a good thirty seconds just spam scrolling down and never even got past the first image.
Looks fine on the four other UIs I checked (Tesseract, Photon, Alexandrite, LemmyUI). Submit a bug to Memmy devs 🤷♂️
Looks fine on Voyager too.
I’ve had problems similar to this with mobile/ipad though. I can’t tell if it's random or a specific combo between devices and apps.
I don't envy the lawyers having to handle jury selection for this. With something this public, and this polarizing, I don't understand how they could ever find 12 jurors who are truly impartial. Almost everyone in the country feels very strongly about this case one way or the other.
So the way I have heard it explained by lawyers is that people can still have feelings one way or the other, but if they can put them aside and listen to facts and come to a decision based on those facts, NOT feelings, then they would be "qualified".
And with millions of people in Manhattan to draw upon, it should be possible.
The tweet is priceless.
Trump's Doomsday funding drive
The trial takes place against the backdrop of Donald Trump's campaign to get back into the White House. Reuters reporter Nathan Layne, who is covering the Trump campaign and the 2024 presidential race, over the weekend highlighted on the social media platform X how Trump is using his legal cases to raise money.

Why do they keep making trump run for president, he looks so tired.
His broke bitch ass is going to end up in jail or Epsteined if he doesn't get elected.
Why, did he rob a liquor store, too? He's going to federal prison, not jail.
Many people use jail and prison synonymously.
prison: a building where criminals are kept as a punishment
jail: a place where criminals are kept to punish them for their crimes
I keep seeing this sentiment that someone is making Trump run instead of his own narcissism making it impossible for him not to.
Please let Trump get taken down by a Columbian Immigrant. That would make my year.
Some, I assume, are good people.
