“ In 2013, Maurice Jimmerson was charged with murder. Ten years later, he still hasn't received a trial. Even though two of Jimmerson's codefendants were acquitted in 2017, Jimmerson—who pleaded not guilty—still languishes in jail in Dougherty County, Georgia, with little hope of a trial anytime soon. Making matters worse, he hasn't had a lawyer since last summer.“

One of the most touching things I have ever seen in my many years as an attorney was when E. Jean Carroll broke down crying, struggling to smile and said “I got my day in court finally and it’s everything to me.”

Law school professor unaware of any judge in history issuing the kind of warning that Trump got today

Donald Trump on his personal social media site, Truth Social. When the trial began, Carroll's lawyer read the comments to the judge, who was furious with the defendant.

"Well, I hope you're more successful," Judge Lewis Kaplan said. He noted Trump "may or may not be tampering with a new source of potential liability. ... And I think you know what I mean.

Republicans would rather cut veterans’ benefits than tax the rich.

That should tell you all you need to know about Republicans.

It’s crazy how Skype went from the go to voice chatting program to “Oh, is that still around?”

If Pres. Biden is reelected, he'll be 86 when it's over. The GOPs who are critical of Biden being old are giving Trump a pass for being a 76-year-old. But who is better physical shape? If you said Trump, then you have drunk the Kool-Aid.

Just finished doing a video interview with author Mercedes Lackey for this year’s Dragon Con convention. Lots of fun.

Have I mentioned lately I love my job? 😁

@GreenPaladin
In our country racism sells.

Republicans are the shit-stain of America.

Now they want to slash Veteran benefits by 22%…….

It’s sickening.

And many Americans vote for that trash.

How fucking patriotic of them.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The MT GOP is full of bigoted shitgibbons.

I said what I said.

A lot of people who claim they want to live like Jesus also say the U.S. is a "Christian nation." They have no problem trying to make laws about marriage, what can be taught in public schools, who can use what birth control. Yes, all of these laws they want in the name of Jesus, even though He never said anything about THOSE things.
