Civil Discourse by Joyce Vance

Justice Alito

“You can hardly blame the folks who saw the flag flying at the #Alito’s home and decided it had to be brought to the Court’s attention. Surprisingly, it’s taken this long to become public. The Times reported that the half-dozen or so neighbors who were aware of it asked to remain anonymous because they “feared reprisal.” Let that sink in as we contemplate what a second #Trump term in office might look like.” #SCOTUS #USPol

“But in his late-September ruling ahead of the trial, shot down ’s claim. ‘The clause does not use the words “worthless,” or “useless” or “ignore” or any similar words,’ Engoron wrote. ‘It does not say ‘the values herein are what I think the properties will be worth in ten or more years.’”

@GottaLaff "Ms. Trump . . . does not seem to be averse to her involvement in the family business when it comes to owning and collecting proceeds from the OPO (hotel) sale, the purchasing insurance for her and her companies, managing her household staff and credit card bills, renting her apartment or even paying her legal fees in this action. It is only when she is tasked with answering for that involvement that she disclaims any connection." 🔥🔥🔥

Sam Bankman-Fried is going to talk himself right into jail - The Verge

“Defense lawyer Mark Cohen did his best. Unfortunately for him, the cross-examination was conducted by Sassoon, who looks like someone who uses ‘summer’ as a verb, and often appears deceptively timid, with her hands held close to her chest. In her cross, she simply unhinged her jaw and ate Bankman-Fried.”
