Donald Trump's 'Nonsensical' Jab At Rising Sea Levels Is Hit By Wave Of Mockery

Donald Trump wisecracked about rising sea levels in another burst of climate change denial, prompting snarky backlash. (Watch the video below.)

In an interview with “Fox & Friends” over the weekend that has produced several noteworthy moments, the former president and current candidate dismissed concerns on global warming.

Trump, who has called climate change a “great hoax,” said nuclear weapons were “the single biggest threat, not global warming.”

“They say that the seas will rise over the next 400 years, one-eighth of an inch, you know, which means basically have a little more beachfront property OK,” he remarked.

Chuckling can be heard in response, but to scientists it’s not a laughing matter.

Trump: “OK. So, I think it’s good. I do very well with the evangelicals…I have so many people who say they’re praying for me; I can't even believe it…They say: ‘Sir, you’re going to be ok. I pray for you every night.”

Russell Drew @RussOnPolitics wrote: Donald Trump is never so disingenuous as when he's talking about faith. He doesn't go to church. Doesn't read the Bible. And he has five different kids from three different wives...all of whom he cheated on. And yet, so many Evangelicals think he's God's prophet. Bizarre.

Foggy: But at the same time, I'm comforted that so few people are still really MAGAts. He loves to threaten violence by his supporters if bad things happen to him. But now he has been convicted of 34 felonies, and where's the uprising of the MAGAts? It failed to materialize. We got an uprising of mindless Republican politicians instead.

'Course, he's threatening massive civil disturbances if he isn't re-elected.

Bring it, punkin'. I don't think any of your supporters will even try to storm the Capitol again.

It says that Judge Merchon sent a letter to the attornies regarding a social media message from a juror to his cousin before the verdict, saying that the conviction was "in the bag".

I'm sure that team-Trump will scream that this shows that the trial was rigged against him and that it will figure in their inevitable appeal.

However, IANAL, but I thought that to show jury bias, you must show extra-judicial bias, meaning that the alleged bias must have been there before the juror was sworn in. If the juror decided halfway through the trial that the defendant is guilty, and that this decision was based on the evidence/testimony he/she had heard so far, then that is NOT extra-judicial bias.

While we might prefer that jurors wait until all of the evidence has been presented before making their decision, the scenario I described is, I believe, permissable.

OTOH, if the text had been sent before the juror was selected and said something like "I hope I'm chosen, so I can nail the bastard", that would be evidence of extra-judicial bias.
