“Tesla lays off more than 10% of its workforce” I have a friend who works worked at Tesla. Had just waited out the golden-handcuff vesting period and was about to ragequit all the way to the bank (before the shares further tanked). Musk just saved him from the bother of quitting. My friend said mor...

Politico: Trump uses lunch break to again test gag order : He posted a video of an ally criticizing Michael Cohen and the judge's wife. Even as prosecutors were seeking a contempt ruling against Donald Trump for violating the gag order in recent days, Trump once again tested the boundaries of the ga...

Correct: this is from 2019, after the defendant mocked her for dropping out of the primary.

Donald Trump’s decision to attend sidebars with the judge and attorneys as jury selection in the hush money trial against him gets underway suggests the former president is very involved in his defense, CNN correspondents say. :roll: It is fairly common, especially during jury selection. That's pre...

Or: ... his well-documented "executive time" until noon indicates he's not a morning person.

Plump does not have to be there for Jury Selection, right? In criminal trials, generally speaking, defendants are required to be at every day of the trial, unless they expressly waive their right to be there, and the judge grants that request. (Disruptive defendants may be nonconsensually removed.)...

There will be conditions of probation. I never practiced criminal law, but I believe that if he violates conditions, he can be hauled off to jail without the need for a hearing. If probation violations are alleged, there will be a hearing to adjudicate the allegations. (The standard of proof is les...

Three E-5's and an E-3 with no ribbons or medals, no rifle or pistol qualification badges. Every Marine qualifies with a weapon, can't get out of boot without it, and the badge is part of your uniform.

Alvin Bragg, DA? He was elected a couple of years ago by the people.

Correct.

Soros pays to rig elections.

When deciding on matters of geopolitical importance, the president listens to, not to his advisors and the nation's allies, but his vanquished rival's moribund web site.

I mean, duh.

Um... Mark Milley could not have deployed any troops. The Chair of the Joint Chiefs is not in the chain of command. The command goes from POTUS through the Secretary of Defense and then to the appropriate unified combatant commander. While the Chair may well transmit communications and allocate res...

Seriously, while it is not a crime to modify currency in that way, don't such extensive modifications render it no longer legal tender? If it is no longer recognizable as a genuine $2 bill, is it still legal tender? It is only illegal if done fraudulently. If you alter your own currency and post it...

Yes, but weren't the payments adjudicated to have been made, back in the Michael Cohen trial? So, legally, can he deny them in this trial? What happened at Cohen's trial has no preclusive effect on his trial. And one of his defenses is that Cohen is a liar. More basically, it is the prosecutor's bu...

There is no question that he slept with her. There is no question that he paid her to keep quiet about it. The defendant has repeatedly and explicitly denied both of these allegations. The defendant's intent and state of mind are key to this trial. This is not even illegal, unless it is done to fur...

As a consumer of the video games, I intend to watch.

Around a decade ago, there was a fan-made limited series released on YouTube; surprisingly good. I wonder if the no-fun IP overlords ever found it.

Yes and yes. One can imagine extremes of behavior that might create a conflict so extreme as to force a delay, but it would come with disadvantages so severe that even Trump could understand why it wasn’t a good idea. :yeahthat: If firing your lawyer on the eve of trial could cause a delay, there w...

I guess the judge could appoint him a public defender.

The defendant would then learn, especially in criminal trials, the court isn't obligated to indulge such delay tactics (the 6th Amendment notwithstanding).
