News from the #EJeanCarroll suit: Joe Tacopina has filed for a mistrial. It revolves around the Trump lawyer initially not recognizing, then not understanding a classic piece of satirical #literature.

Joe Tacopina Complains about Woke Jonathan Swift - emptywheel

Given Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina's complaint that he's not in on the shared joke of Swift's A Modest Proposal, I hope some nice mother in Florida with a sense of humor will make the Modest Proposal that Swift be banned under Ron DeSantis' anti-woke censorship laws for being -- as a canonical work of English culture -- too woke.
