This. Agreed.

What a horrible waste, in every sense of the word.

Dave, I find Connections fun.. or terribly baffling! Although I believe I've become better at playing it. Inanna, yes, I think that would add to the difficulty.

Still working on Strands...

Are HIPPA like laws needed for jurors? Sheesh. People are mental.

Greene also wanted money for the Hawaii/Maui fires because there are conspiracy theories, which she must buy into, which claim the Maui fires were caused by a 'Direct Energy Weapon'.

“Sew what?”

But the truth/facts don't matter, what matters (to Trump/Habba) is that the trial comes across as Trump being a victim of unfair persecution to FOX viewers. Trump has been making (false/twisted) comments regarding things he claims the judge has said which has caused media outrage. I'm sure he'll kee...

That's OK Inanna, we don't issue penalties.

N.E. that's crazy! Sunny, I don't know if I'd trust statistics coming from some of those countries. Or I'd question if there is a world wide standard for what is considered 'literacy'. The U.S. uses different levels, most adults having at least level 1, but perhaps the standards are higher? MY searc...

“On the grid”

From what I've read, the people of Mongolia eat very little in the way of vegetation, not even grain. So a large loss of animals would be devastating.

I don't know that I could be fair & impartial. If I'd been on juries before I might feel differently, but I've never had to serve so I just don't know.

Jury selection in this trial begins today. This morning, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman posted this from the courtroom: "Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack." One cannot help but wonder if he's on some sort of sedative (or something...
