I agree with everything you’ve said about planting seeds, particularly if you have a juror looking for a reason to acquit.

To be honest, I’m surprised more trials don’t end in acquittals. But I don’t think jurors really understand (or care about) reasonable doubt.

Time will tell.

Please help me out here. If most of those checks were written on Trump's personal account , how are they business records? That may be a defense to many/most of the criminal counts. I thought the claim was that every one is a payment of an invoice to the Trump org for "legal services" and...

That particular check is discussed Count 28 of the indictment, which alleges that it is a “Donald J. Trump check and check stub dated October 18, 2017, bearing check number 002944, and kept and maintained by the Trump Organization.” It looks like they’re saying even his personal checks are part of t...

What I'd like to know is if there is such a thing as a power washer that actually fucking works

I've had an electric one for 5-6 years that works great. Use it a lot and no problems. I bought it off of Amazon. It's a Sun Joe.

Same here.

Yes. His younger daughter recently moved to a new home just four miles away so he has help nearby now. Older daughter lives up Island.

Oh, that’s good. Glad he has help.

I’m famous! You can now find me on Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube Music. Only one song, though, for now. I’m reasonably satisfied with the vocal, but my acoustic guitar was buzzing so the sound engineer made me switch to electric, which is *very* unforgiving. https://youtu.be/3fulKCnJxLY?si=0tKm...

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about them so I didn’t include them on the list, but they deserve to be in our thoughts regardless

That's (foolscap-sized paper) weird. I wonder if it's a criminal courts thing. We had to submit our Appellate Briefs in the Coast Guard on that. I had some on order but we ran out before the procurement guy was able to get me any, so I submitted it on regular paper. The Clerk brought it back to me ...

I also speak judge. “Counsel, I don’t want to hear this again from your client.” :yeahthat: I don't know if the judge saw the (extrajudicial) clip where the defendant's lawyer appear to nod in agreement. But including counsel in the remarks was saying, "Do better." ( And of course "I...

Yeah, it makes no sense. A Bronze Star is a hell of a tribute to the courage and action of the owner. Why would anyone need to claim a second one (which it seems highly improbable that anyone could earn two)? If he wasn't in combat, how the heck did he get a Bronze Star? Oh, Wikipedia says it's &qu...

When I got my new set of pans when we moved here, I had to come up with a storage solution. For the lids I hung a chain and put a hook for each lids so it just overlaps the lid above it - that’s what keeps them all snug against the wall.

Another thing about induction - if you’re the kind of cook who likes to remove the pot from the heat and swirl the contents around a bit before returning it to he heat - or vigorously shaking it back and forth in the stove top - you can’t really do that with an induction. As soon as the unit doesn’t...

Are woks out with induction? Traditional woks (parabola shape) work best on gas - they work, but not all that great, on electric, but not at all on induction. You’d need the kind with a flat bottom, but the’n it’s not really like a traditional wok. Since I can’t use my wok on my induction, I cook o...

With gas or electric you can look at the burner and determine somewhat just how much heat you are applying to the pan. Induction gives no visible clue, other than looking at the dial setting. It seems to me that there'd be a learning curve involved. If anyone here is using induction, I'd like to kn...

I looked at the photo of him in uniform. The oak leaf cluster (denoting a second award) is clearly visible. What an odd thing to claim to have. Knowing the Army awards system as I do, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he honestly believed he had been awarded a second medal. I’ve done a number ...

There can be overlap - restitution can be a criminal penalty, but it can also be available as a civil remedy, no?

Corrosive stories like this come out after a death. It will be impossible for you to do this, but those of us that love and respect you have to tell you from personal experience "let it go". Our experience also says you will have to chew this rumination for a bit, but you'll get through i...

https://twitter.com/hugolowell/status/1786034714257555806 TRUMP is sitting passively at his lawyer Todd Blanche as he reads out Michael Cohen's tweets attacking him on Twitter, incl Cohen calling him " Von Schitzenpants " and a "petulant defendant" and that he won't donate to Tr...
