I’m not gonna out lawyer you, but I’ll offer my thoughts…

Judge is a Biden donor, should’ve recused himself.

This is why this is going to be a painful exercise (prob moreso for me than you.)  Recusal is a VERY high standard.  I've had opposing counsel who was the SON of the judge...and I couldn't get a recusal.  Donating to a politician isn't an inherently disqualifying action, without more.  Was he a super donor?  Millions given?  Had to be hundreds of thousands  if this is objectionable behavior, right? 

$35 to the Dem party with a whopping $15 earmarked for Joe's campaign. 

Asked if this could be grounds for a legal challenge or recusal, Gillers said, “Absolutely not. This does not come anywhere near the kind of proof required for recusal.”  (Gillers is a legal ethics professor at New York University)

Bragg ran for the DA’s office on the promise to put Trump behind bars.

I can't find anything about Bragg's campaign that looks relevant, but a prosecutor promising to be tough on crime...and specifically tough on the loudest and most obvious business crimes committer in NYC...is not surprising. 

The whole trial was a moving target trying to look for crimes.

That is patently stupid.  The crimes were charged in the indictment.  You can't drag someone to criminal court without telling them what they're charged with.

The defense didn’t even know what they were defending until the prosecution’s closing argument,

Also patently stupid.  There are no Perry Mason surprises in court.  The defense knew (and if they couldn't figure out from the witness list, then they're incompetent) what they were up against.

which was the last argument heard by the jury. Apparently New York is the only state that allows that… can you confirm?

Goddamnit.  This is the stupidest yet and why I implore you to please please please stop getting your news from wherever you do.  EVERY JURISDICTION IN THE UNITED STATES ALLOWS THE PARTY WITH THE BURDEN OF PROOF TO GET THE FINAL REBUTTAL. PLAINTIFFS IN CIVIL SUITS AND THE STATE IN CRIMINAL CASES GO LAST.

Key witnesses for the defense were denied.

Also for the State.  There were limitations on both sides due to the prohibited portions of their testimony and no reasonable way to get them on the record without going beyond the evidentiary limitations.  If you have a specific witness objection, let's pull the motions and orders and see what happened.

Biden campaign trotted out Deniro outside the courthouse to bash Trump at a press conference.

Yeah, that was stupid.  It also had zero effect on the verdict.

All seems like Kangaroo court.

I'm sure that's the picture being painted in certain media circles that know their audience won't think critically about anything presented to them.

Present company excluded, though, I'm sure.

Completely disagree. This was a breath of fresh air for a mediocre franchise (the first one is an action classic and Shane Black's 2018 movie is dumb fun). This is exactly what they should do with the Predator; put it in different time frames. And if you're mad because a girl beat it (gasp! pearls clutched!), watch the end credits. It's not a long-lived victory.

No problem putting Predator in different settings or time frames. Have no problem with it being set on the Plains or having Indians fight it.

Don't care that a girl beat it.  Do care that THIS worthless character beat it. Figured she would, because that would be the stupidest possible ending to the film and I had no interest in seeing THAT at all.

Got tired of watching her yammer about what a great hunter she was and then her self-made bow falls apart.  Or she can't take the shot when she should. Or she puts other people in danger/gets them killed because she's so stupid and out of touch with her own worth that she keeps blundering into places she should never be.  I despised her character and declined to watch her "redemption" arc.  Screw her. 

Another thing, Spanky. If you’re thinking that I’m just going to sit idly by and let you abuse Snags, you’re more mentally ill that most seem to believe that you are.

Do you actually believe that anyone on here is incapable of debating either of you? Or, for that matter, beating the physical fuck out of you after the verbal beat down is over?

Regardless, I’m not about to sit here and let you take advantage of my retarded friend. Lawyer or not. Go fuck yourself, fire plug.

I think a whole year engagement is leaving a lot of time for things to blow up and fall completely apart. Smart thinking.

Hickory shafts and gutta-purcha balls!!!

We Nashunal champee-uns!!!

Grab the shit remover rolls and drive the corner to clear the trees boys and girls!!!

WAR DAMN!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
