He looks like he’s rotting from the inside out. He probably is.

He looks like he’s rotting from the inside out. He probably is. Sitting there all day every day is going to be really rough on him. I doubt he's had to be "on" for so many hours in a row in years. I think it's quite possible he'll unravel rather quickly.

Ummmm wow to Daily Mail and TikTok as news sources. Long wows to jurors 4 and 5 in general. I actually get a lot of news from TikTok and then I look into it more. I would never hear about it locally otherwise.

I would never hear about it locally otherwise. TikTok doesn’t make me go eek anymore because there’s so much out on it. I think the important part is to vet the people you are watching and listening to. And look it up to confirm. Daily Mail is just … no. I fucking hate people that say shit like they appreciate DTs candor. “I like to know what they’re actually thinking.” You dumb fuck. That’s not how it works. And the dude that finds him interesting? Fuck right off.

Yes, even as someone who closely follows the news, I hear about things on tiktok that I never hear about elsewhere (sometimes to the extent that it's not super easy to verify it with reliable sources)

I would never hear about it locally otherwise. For me, getting news from social media is dicey (in this context, where a former president is being charged with a cornucopia of crimes). I don't get my local news from Facebook, you know what I mean? If there's no one vetting information, anything can be "news."

I really don't know how they are going to actually seat and protect this jury. I'm anxious for them.

I mean, Trump went on a tirade about the jurors being liberal plants this morning, so I don't blame any of them. It's not like he's going to be held accountable or in contempt of violating the gag order. There will be stern words for him, and death threats (and maybe attempts) for the jurors.

12 jurors have been seated. If they can get 6 alternates by EOD tomorrow, this thing kicks off Monday morning

Tomorrow is for selecting alternates. I didn’t see anything about how many strikes each side has left? Once those are gone things should go quickly.
Unless there is some major ruling that silences TFG on Tuesday I don’t know how this trial proceeds without having the jury sequestered. He’s already tampering with the jury/jury pool and it’s just going to get worse once testimony actually starts.

Just wait until he does one of his rallies this weekend (I'm just assuming at least one is planned, I don't actually have any knowledge of when/where his next one is). But seriously, he won't be able to control his mouth.

Good on the judge. There is absolutely no way he wouldn't attack them publicly all weekend. Look! A very tiny consequence. I'll take it.
