I grew up with lotsa kids whose grandparents spoke Yiddish & had numbers on their forearms

IMO, that grammar at the end is a signal of dementia timewarp for someone who has lived in New York

That said, it IS a thoroughly shafgoofy af thing to say as part of one's #ClosingArgument 😒🙄

#MichelleObama Had the Best #ClosingArgument of the #Campaign

The former #FirstLady distilled what this #election is really about.

“I am asking you all, from the core of my being, to take our lives seriously,” she implored. “Please, please do not hand our fates over to the likes of Trump, who knows nothing about us, who has shown deep contempt for us. A vote for him is a vote against us.

Closing Argument

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz maraschino liqueur
¾ oz Green Chartreuse
¾ oz mezcal espadín

Garnish: lime twist
Method: combine all ingredients (equal parts) in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with lime zest twist.

A riff on the Last Word that swaps gin for mezcal. Simple as that!

He delivers a #mix of #disinformation, #falseclaims about #cheating in #elections and #personal #attacks

— You know the mantra: “Every Republican accusation is actually an admission of their own guilt.” They love to project their desires, actions, and motivations onto their opponents.

Joshua #Steinglass opens prosecution’s #ClosingArgument by reminding the #jury that during opening statements, his colleague said that the case, at its core, is about “a conspiracy & a coverup.”

He then delineates 3 elements that the prosecution must prove: That there were false business records, that they were used as part of the conspiracy & that #Trump himself was involved.
