Is one juror making eye contact to send signals to the defense—or “just doing that to fuck with us before they vote to convict”?

    Hung is something Trump wished he was.

      Some time back he might would have been for treason.

        Be careful with what you post publicly, friend.

        I hate Trump, but the SS takes comments like yours seriously enough to trigger an investigation.

        Edit: I’ve been schooled. So it’s more like winning the lottery. But is that a lottery you’d like to risk winning, though?

          You’re talking out of your ass. Stuff like this is mild compared to what it takes to trigger that kind of response. Millions of people make comments like these on the daily.

            Millions, huh? Show me 100,763 examples.

              7500 hardcore, actually-directed-enough-to-take-serious threats per year. Now, consider all the maga morons and their constant shit talking across the internet, and it’s easy to extrapolate.

                That’s not the 100,763 I requested. Checkmate!

                But more seriously, thank you for schooling me. I was indeed talking out of my ass, then.

                  Sorry for being so harsh with my wording; I live in the south, so I’ve gotta deal with a lot of MAGA assholes and it’s kind of ingrained itself into my personality a little. Also, thanks for looking out for me, I know you were just trying to make sure I wasn’t targeted :)

                    No apology necessary. I’d do the same in your position.

        Quirk of English, but the word you’re looking for is hanged.

          Wrong. Hung is correct in the same manner.

          I reject your bullshit English rules that are outdated and churlish.

              It’s lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous.

                I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
