Selling your home is soooo stressful. And it continues until escrow closes. Take care. This too will pass.

All via McB for awhile:

Counsel approaches, brief sidebar

"Binoculars down."

As I mentioned, courtroom rules strictly enforced. During sidebar, court security doesn't allow reporters to use binoculars they had brought to see exhibits and facial expressions better

Do the defendants attorneys think the jury and the public are idiots. Poor baby Trump the former President is being extorted by a former Porn star.

This is 🤣🤣🤣🤣 if it wasn't so pathetically wrong.

Necheles rises to renew Trump's objection to Daniels testifying about any "sexual details," which she says has no relevance and is prejudicial.
By details, Merchan asks, more than just "we had sex"? Yes, Necheles says.

Not working. I was not particularly sympathetic to Stomy snd now I sm. Credibility--'do I think she's lying NO. Doesn't matter that there are inconsistencies. Thst is what it looks like when someone is scared and they have threatened her child.

Trump may be happy but he shouldn't be...

Yep. And big picture even if this end in a hung jury.

You cannot unring the bell. Some Republicans and Independents are going to remember this in November.

Access Hollywood was terrible. This makes my skin crawl. Michael Cohen has lots of amends to pay.

As for trump I will be happy when his uniform matches his orange face pancake.

I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Scifi #ScienceFiction

What are US student protesters demanding?

The protesters are calling for universities to divest from corporations that profit from Israel’s war on Gaza.
They are also demanding that universities severe academic ties and collaborations with Israeli universities and programmes.
Demonstrators want an end to US military aid to Israel. Washington provides more than $3bn annually in military aid to Israel.
They are calling for more financial transparency about university investments.

@appassionato @palestine I support the student protests. Education is big business. If the business is they have a moral obligation to call attention.

    @josh put up blue bird and swallow boxes. They keep my rose garden aphid free.

    kwheaton,
    @kwheaton@sfba.social avatar

    @josh you will be amazed. Site your box so they have a clear flight path and mayne a tree 10-15 feet away. A bird bath in the yard preferably near the tree will help. Bushtits and oak titmice also live aphids. I aslso squish them between my fingers or use a spray of water. Don't use any irganic or chemical sprays.

    Americans,

    On Thursday, the will be hearing arguments where lawyers for the criminal defendant are arguing that all former presidents are forever immune from criminal prosecution for any official acts done in office.

    Failure to respect the election of a new President, is the ultimate crime against the people, who are the basis of government. The President, by constitutional design, should have no role- official or unofficial-in the determination of the people's
    vote. Immunity for the crimes here alleged would be most abhorrent to the Framers, because immunity would upset the constitutional scheme and aid a President in overriding the people's power over him.

    The Framers would also have been appalled that Trump, despite having left office, seeks permanent immunity. As a Federalist wrote for the Maryland ratifying convention:

    It seems, however, that the president may possibly be continued for life. He may so, provided he deserve it.

    🧵 1️⃣

    kwheaton,
    @kwheaton@sfba.social avatar

    @Marijke @skykiss of course it is. Remember he follows Nixon. "Well, when the President does it, that means that it is not illegal." That is why should never have pardoned and why is wrong. Most of us who lived through that nightmare believe it was wrong.
