His lawyers did… It is literally their job, unfortunately for them

The judge referenced in this article is for one of the federal trials. He does have charges in Georgia that he wouldn’t be able to pardon, but who knows how that would go down… leading the nation from a Fulton country correctional facility doesn’t sound like fun.

Never met a vegetarian?

He hasn’t actually been convicted of any yet… technically not a felon until he’s sentenced, if I’m not mistaken

Thanks for demonstration how being a parent can actually make you a worse person. Your children, or OPs for that matter, deserve to be safe and secure only as much as anyone else’s, despite what your hormones may have convinced you.

Going to the beach is nicer in a swimsuit than a heavy coat and mittens.

I’d rather do pretty much anything in the heat of Summer than during any of the winter months.

Hardly the first time someone has smiled in a mugshot, guilty or innocent.

If found innocent then it takes on an ‘I told you so’ energy. If guilty it makes you look like an even bigger piece of shit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the severity of their situation hasn’t fully set in yet. The realization will come crashing down if/when the first of them is found guilty.

Tbh I wouldn’t know what to make of someone wearing a rainbow swastika

These statistics are true, in a sense, but stats without context can be misleading. Categorizing literacy is not a simple task, and the US dept. of education has a series of literacy levels that people are ranked in. As of 2019, 92% of adults in America were at least level 1. That said, someone who is at level 1 may still have difficulty with a large range of texts, meaning that while they can read the words on a page they may struggle with greater meanings, and may still be considered functionally illiterate. There are also considerations for reading paperwork, contracts, mathematical equations, etc. as opposed to prose.

We also have to consider America’s substantial (and growing) immigrant population. Are these statistics always using the subject’s native language for testing, or only English/Spanish?

My point isn’t that there’s no problem with literacy in America, there’s a lot of room to improve, it’s only that these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.
