30,000 people allegedly attended a Trump rally in the Bronx.
Looks more like a free Creed concert (throwback Interference reference)

this point needs to be made over and over and over again.
we can argue all day about Biden's policy when it comes to Israel and Gaza. what is inarguable is that the argument won't be allowed to even take place if Biden loses in November - and nothing will improve for the Palestinians. It would only get worse. For them. For everyone.
for the love of god - stop letting fucking perfection get in the way of good. shit... don't let good get in the way of passable, or even "shit but better than the alternative."
WE ALL WISH WE HAD OTHER CANDIDATES.
we don't.
this is what we have.
we saw the results of "well they're all the same so i'm going to stay home" in 2016.
swallow your fucking pride, put aside your ideals, grow up, and start supporting the guy who isn't awful before it's too late. the greater good depends upon it.
when civil rights are scaled back even further... when Oberfefell is next to be thrown out... will it make you feel better about your protest vote (or non vote)?
Yeah, I'm not a legal expert but it sure seems like the 2 notes combined make it look really good for a conviction.they now want to rehear instructions.
my guess would be around the whole "you don't have to be unanimous on WHAT underlying crime he did, just unanimous that an underlying crime exists" part.
Another possibility that isn't as rosy is that there could be 11 jurors saying guilty and one hold out, but they could be putting the pressure on the holdout and having the testimony read back to him/her in efforts to convince them to go along.
Well, it's more likely that they are being careful with everything and are about to convict. All the signs point to this right now, but there is the chance that they are amping up the pressure on one juror to go with "guilty", and in this case, that's also a good sign that they requested notes with substance. If you had one juror just crossing his arms and saying "nope, I've been a closet MAGA the whole time, and you can't change my mind", then they wouldn't be asking for this specific information.this so feels like the outcome to me, and i haven't been paying attention at all.
he gets away with murder, because people are afraid of actually indicting someone who was elected to the presidency, and because they fear his followers.
I've been on one jury that went to trial. It was a theft case, where a cop witnessed someone stealing the wallet from a foreign visitor (who had gone back home and couldn't testify). The wallet was found in the hoodie pocket of the defendant.Having served on a jury with relatively low stakes (wrongful termination) where I thought the evidence clearly lead to a certain verdict, and being surprised at how many people on the jury thought it lead to the opposite verdict when we sat for deliberations, I'd be very careful about opining about what is or isn't more likely to happen based on what we can tell from the outside.
Aid is voted on by Congress, so while Biden can not sign any aid bill to Israel and not push forward anything in the budget, they wisely tied the last one to Ukraine aid so that it eventually got passed. No aid to Israel/No aid to Ukraine. He’d also open up another avenue of attack by the GOP and moderates in his party by not “supporting” Israel.Hamas has rejected multiple ceasefires and when Israel has rejected them it’s been said Hamas has changed the deal that was agreed upon
Hamas has no benefit to a ceasefire. They do not care about their people. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets for Israel.
Asking Biden to do something just seems like posturing. Cutting off aid seems like the popular choice but does that produce a ceasefire ?
The Arab world needs to put more pressure on Hamas as the West pressures Israel.
Unfortunately the Palestinians are nothing but pawns in this bullshit.
