While I'm waiting with bated breath for an articulate explanation from our
ggggguuuuuuyyys why Trump's hush-money trial was bullsh*t..........
Isn't it wild to see the way the Republican Party is hellbent on going off the cliff with Trump? This trial was yet another opportunity for the GOP to come to their senses and dump the idiot before they lose again. Instead, they doubled down on their stupidity by sucking up to Trump
yet again by following his lead and trashing our judicial system.
We've seen how conservatives have been trying to bring politics into our courts, particularly the Supreme Court. But our judicial system was designed from the get-go to be impartial. FWIW, the jury in Trump's trial was selected by
BOTH the prosecution and the defense.
Hell, the jury included people who said they got their news from Trump's
Truth Social and
Fox News. Frankly, that info gave me pause at the time because I thought their inclusion might lead to a hung jury. But they swore to be impartial and make their decision based solely on the evidence---
and clearly they did.
During his summation, Trump's lawyer lauded his jury for the serious way they'd conducted themselves during the lengthy trial. Of course,
AFTER the verdict, he told Fox News those 12 jurers were horribly biased. Ooooooookay.
Guess what? In a two-party system, if the GOP continues their behavior, where will that lead our country?
