    Why Trump should win his NY hush money trial

    Looking at the problems in sitting a jury, I wonder whether trump will ever get to trial. With jurors pulling out due to the unprecedented media scrutiny and attacks there is every chance this trial will collapse.

    Montana GOP Senate candidate says he lied to ranger about gunshot wound in 2015 -- (Poll: How did that bullet get in his arm?)

    Lol! He accidentally shot himself in the park. The idea that he faked it to hide an old war injury is absurd!

    The mighty British redwood....

    What is interesting is that none of them have reached maturity, and the 500,000 are the result of the Victorians and later planting them. None so far have propagated naturally yet.

    The mighty British redwood....

    Just joking, but I did not realise the UK had over 6 times more sequoia than California, 500000 compared to 80000. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/16/hidden-giants-how-the-uks-500000-redwoods-put-california-in-the-shade

    Is the USA a Constitutional Republic or a Democracy?

    In a country where dog catchers are elected, why is it controversial that the president is as well.

    The funny thing is the republicans including Trump are scrambling to reverse the consequence of this ruling. IVF has cross party support.

    Pregnant Missouri DOT worker painting highway lines killed by vehicle; MODOT considers fetus an employee so workman's comp covers any liability

    Well first question where is the fetus's contract of employment? How did it do in the job interview?

    Pregnant Missouri DOT worker painting highway lines killed by vehicle; MODOT considers fetus an employee so workman's comp covers any liability

    So they are admitting to child slavery, even before the child is born. Since I am assuming the mother was not paid the fetus employees minimum wage.
