No, my expertise is in consumer law. In the distant past I've studied/had training on civil procedure, rules of evidence law, cross examinations for criminal cases, etc., but I ultimately decided to keep criminal law as a hobby rather than a profession.

Anyway, none of that really matters. A child with a basic understanding of how courts work can see that Trump is breaking the rules and ignoring direct instructions from the judge. It's a pretty basic idea that both sides should make the best arguments they can, and shouldn't try to intimidate witnesses or undermine the authority of the judge.

Any adult with critical thinking skills should be able to discern why, for example, Trump keeps pretending that he wants to testify but makes up excuses for not doing so. Or why Trump's statements to the media are so different to his statements in court.

And then anyone with a background in law enforcement should immediately be able to see right through Trump, because they deal with people like him every day.

In what respect? And I can definitely tell it's a hobby with closely monitoring all things Trump from on your participation in this thread.

I'm not quite sure a child is an applicable parallel here, especially since children have difficulty understanding decorum in classrooms... must less a courtroom, but I appreciate the chuckle when it comes to hyperbolic silliness. My almost 3-year-old is still trying to learn the decorum of dinnertime... albeit that's a losing battle for a while.

Trump's persona speaks for itself and is entirely ego driven which clearly can't unmask itself with impunity in a courtroom.

I definitely do not deal with folks like Trump every day (thankfully). I investigate, interview and arrest those who prey on prepubescent and pubescent children.

Awesome, now opinions can be consolidated and sold as facts.😎

Don't forget dessert, which would be healthy serving of layoffs.🙃

Don't forget "articles" written by AI!

In either case, another sign of late-stage capitalism.

Embrace socialism! EAT THE RICH! Unionize!

Comrade Bojangles ... the AI stuff is getting scary good. lol

I still haven't played through the latest AC. I didn't mind Odyssey, even though it was pretty repetitive but it was good mindless entertainment when my kid wasn't moving around as a wee lad. I'll wait to play through this after a year or two when I can get it on sale for dirt cheap. An AC game in Japan sounds pretty neat though.

How do right wingers not see this as fucked up?

They either don't know anything about the law, or they don't care about upholding the law.

I can't see any other explanation.

Is that based on your expertise in enforcing the law, and in addition, the expertise in litigation involving criminal matters involving state and federal laws?

Godwin's law?

I'm glad you brought that up because the creator of Godwin's Law regrets creating it specifically because modern Republicans resemble Nazis so much.

But when people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy.

And that’s why Godwin’s Law isn’t violated — or confirmed — by the Biden reelection campaign’scriticism of Trump’s increasingly unsubtle messaging. We had the luxury of deriving humor from Hitler and Nazi comparisons when doing so was almost always hyperbole. It’s not a luxury we can afford anymore.

Ah man, it's become a parody of itself now. lmao

I absolutely love opposite-minded folks and equally communicating with them. I mean I married someone completely opposite to me... although she is slowly converting... slowly...

Plus its healthy to step outside your "box" -- I have friends outside my profession and outside my "views" because its important to have different perspectives. Plus... it makes games like Cards Against Humanity and drinking that much more fun.

The Hope Hicks testimony has been sort of interesting to read about, from numerous perspectives.

On one hand, you have this beauty pageant winner model bimbo sobbing over how awesome her boss is...

...while at the same time incriminating him by saying he knew exactly what he was doing [while committing crimes] and that he was a very competent businessman [again, all while he was committing numerous crimes].

I wonder if the Trump defense will throw her under the bus by implying she is an idiot that was only good for steaming Trump's suits and she doesn't know what she is talking about.

Anything is possible, comrade. :)

Hey, I'm the resident communist here. Don't you forget it comrade.

😋

And I recommend the .45-70 Henry. My buddy had one and while the ammo is pricey and the kick was huge, having a rifle that could shoot through a buffalo head to ass (if you wanted to, not saying we ever did...) was pretty great.

One of! But yes, my fellow Californian, you get first rights. :P Plus I know you're actually a good sport and don't take all this too seriously...Probably because of all the beer! *Cheers*

I'm hard pressed because I already have lots of .270 ammo but the 30-06 was calling my name. I already have an old 30-30 that handed down to my from my grandpa, but wanted something new that I can pass down to my son. Plus, lever actions tug at a string for my heart. Henry makes some high quality stuff though.
