  1. The Bluebook citation to “Legal Scholars” is day one material at my law school.
  2. Not "legal scholars," but "Legal Scholars," capitalized, so it's probably legit.
  3. Holy Shit, Mussolini has a granddaughter who holds elected office in Italy? What the actual fuck? Is there a Jane Hitler serving in the German parliament too?
  4. Which is why none of these prosecutors would ever agree to a plea. It is known that even if he was capable of admitting to stuff in court, he'd immediately dispute it outside the courtroom. It's one of those things that happens when you act like a shithead you're entire life, nobody ever believes you're capable of basic shit, like entering into a plea.

    Roseanne

    Is she trying to make some kind of joke, or is she full dementia? All a jury needs to see is how 26 years ago she was fat as fuck and no way anyone could find a way to fuck her fat fucking ass in that dressing room. Maybe it was Billy Bob Thornton from Bad Santa. Did she shit right for a week?
  6. That was my response, but didn't notice it was limited to 2024. I think he will die, one way or another, after he loses the election, but before any of his convictions become final, most likely sometime in 2025.
  7. True, it would mean nothing for his fanbase, but there is no way in hell Trump would allocute in the way required to sustain a plea. He would insert all sorts of nonsense like a five year old arguing with his parent. "Do you admit that you called the Georgia Secretary of State and asked him to find additional votes?" "Yeah, because there really were more votes, and I won, so I admit that the election was stolen." No court anywhere would accept that nonsense as part of a plea. He's physically incapable of speaking truth without adding nonsense.
  8. Do you think he'll plea out for no consequences, or win all of his trials for no consequences? I don't see any possibility of a plea or not guilty verdicts in all of his cases. I know we all want to see him rot in a cell like a common criminal, but that's just not feasible for a former president. His consequences will be far lighter than we all want, like house arrest or something like that, but he's not going to get not guilty verdicts or a plea.
  9. With the white helmets, looks like UTSA.
  10. Legimately curious, the leader by far so far is that he'll plea and lose the election. What on earth makes anyone think he'd agree to any sort of plea? They would require him to admit committing crimes on the record. Also, the possibilities are far more than listed. I think the most likely is that he's convicted of one or more of the crimes he's charged with and either sentenced to no jail, or home confinement, in which he can still run, but will lose a close election.
  11. Twitter and Tesla have both tanked to what appears to be half or less of it's high value/purchase price. Is SpaceX really what keeps this idiot atop the wealth charts?
  12. The two on the bottom left look the same and are fine. The rest are hideous. That red horn helmet in particular, and the random new H, just dumb. They need a new logo in general, imo.
  13. Sounds to me like he'll ask Trump if he truly believed he was not violating the gag order. Trump will say yes, he truly believes it was fair game. Judge will say, well it's not, I'm telling you right now, on the record, that if you repeat that conduct you'll be sanctioned not only for it, but for every violation that is currently alleged." Of course, he'll do it again, so the real meat will be to see what happens then.
  14. Context is the overriding factor, and while some may be complicated, most are not. My observation has been that there are Latinos from big cities raised in predominantly Black areas (or fairly even Black and Hispanic) and they have a shared culture, which can include Latinos using the n-word in a similar manner. There are also some areas where street gangs have created a divide and Latino street gangs use the term derogatively. Like the guy in the video says, if you're on the inside, its part of the culture, if your on the outside, it's offensive. I've been in plenty of circles of Black people who use the word referring to their inside circle, but I'm no where near the inside enough to ever use it, and I probably wouldn't anyway. It's pretty darn easy to know whether you can use it yourself, if it's even a close question, the answer is no, don't say the word.
  15. Monkey Torture Enthusiasts is a terrible band name. I only browsed the article, would become seriously ill if it’s that much detail. CSB, one of my law partners joined the firm about 10 years ago from the DAs office. He shared that one of his assignments there was a highly publicized case of a couple that was fucking dogs and filming it for sick fucks on the internet. He was assigned to view every minute of every video and determine what snippets would be presented to the jury. Pretty sure I’d quit and become a plumber or something.
  16. Criminal defendants have to be present for the entirely of their trials. Business defendants can change the representative who is present, which is why he wasn’t required to attend all of the business fraud case (I think I remember that correctly).
  17. I agree, all sports teams from universities in Texas should be majority white, because fairness. OU is close enough also, them too.
  18. Seriously, the Broncos have looked terrible since they changed, it’s like a remnant of the late 90s fad of way too complicated and dumb looking designs and dark color shades.
  19. She has publicly described what his junk looks like, if he's going to deny sexual relations with her, it seems pretty obvious to me how to prove whether she's telling the truth, but please, please, please, no.
  20. It's just astonishing to me that it has to be explained like this, like teaching to a five year old. It's so obvious why it's different, but even with this explanation, the people who need to understand will intentionally go out of their way to push back.
  21. It reads to me like a typical opening statement when you have a weak case, you have to at least try to give the jury reasons to not believe the witnesses against the defendant. Saying that she is "biased" against Trump is consistent with ordinary jury instructions that the jury is to be the sole judge of credibility of a witness and can take any "biases" into consideration. He just needs one to buy into it for a mistrial but it does not read like an opening statement of a party that has a strong basis for acquittal. If Trump had written it, the term "whore" and "slut" would be all over it, regardless of legal rules or decorum.
  22. Spring game attendance smack is about as lame as it gets.
  23. Of course it was Florida Man, was there ever any doubt?
