Is Donald Trump Guilty? It May Be Up To A Jury, Experts Say

@Popehat
? Isn't it ALWAYS (in the US, at least) "up to a jury"?
Show threadMark TomczakApr 4, 2023

@SonofaGeorge Not exactly. The right to trial-by-jury is a waivable right, and one may choose to waive it for a variety of reasons.

(... but I think our dear Popehat is mostly taking the piss out of the idea that any pundits have anything useful to say right now about the Trump affair, since nothing interesting or unusual has happened yet).

@mtomczak @SonofaGeorge Yeah, and the same pundits saying nothing useful about TFG for days on end are ignoring things like TX removing the elected members of a local school board, TN expelling legislators who expressed solidarity with protestors in Nashville, or FL arresting peaceful protestors in Tallahassee.

@Agent17 @mtomczak There is a very frightening and "hiding in plain sight" move in the US to fascism. Always remember: Hitler was democratically elected in the first instance.
