It's where the crime took place. Bragg is the Manhattan DA. And Alina is a very stable genius.

Habba: We’re seeing a painful selection because we’re in the state of New York which is definitely by design. There is no question that Bragg bringing this in New York… these venues are selected exactly for this reason

Trump is upset he may miss his son's graduation because he's on trial.

Yeah, we do treat people in the criminal justice system harshly. People you have never thought about, people who have kids, and graduations, and moments missed forever.

But it's different now. He cries. It's happening to ME. To Me!

Nothing, no one, exists beyond the tip of some people's noses. They cannot see pain unless they feel it. Cannot recognize suffering unless it's their own.

What a stunted perspective.

@juergen_hubert @futurebird Exactly. He didn't bother going to any of his other kids' graduations. No one believes he really intended to go to Barron's. It's just another excuse to delay the trial and gain sympathy from his brain-dead supporters.

🤭👉🏼 “ offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.

..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.”

@GottaLaff LOL. Meanwhile, he claims that he shouldn't have to post any bond in the E. Jean Carroll case because he's so rich that posting a bond isn't really a deterrent.

The bare minimum we should have learned from a devastating pandemic that has killed and disabled millions is that we should stay home when we are sick. Yet, governments beholden to corporate interests are determined to make sure we don't even do that.

@luckytran it’s not like anyone is actually following CDC guidance and staying home now when they’re sick.

Someone in the other place got me onto sharing 1 randomly selected kindle book a day from my enormous collection. Here are my first three.

The Conductors by Nicole Glover is superb. Magical, mystery, historical & a romance all rolled into a fantastic package.

The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge is a nordix YA horror & it's fantastic.

A Spirited Tail by Leighann Dobbs is book 2 in the cozy Mystic Notch series & features cats who talk to each other & an oblivious ghost-seeing MC.

@PandaChronicle @law_geek I've read all of her Holmes/Watson books. Really enjoy them.

@law_geek @PandaChronicle I've got her latest on hold at my local library!

TerpieCat,
@TerpieCat@ohai.social avatar

@PandaChronicle @law_geek Mine does too. You can put a hold on a "coming soon" book.

TerpieCat,
@TerpieCat@ohai.social avatar

@PandaChronicle @law_geek Yep. Sometimes the holds list takes six months so it's a surprise when it's finally my turn.

TerpieCat,
@TerpieCat@ohai.social avatar

@law_geek @PandaChronicle The waits for kindle books tend to be longer so sometimes I put holds on both the kindle and print versions of a book. In those cases I usually get the print versions first. But I typically have such a long reading list that there's something I want available even if I have to wait months for a particular book.

George #Santos was in New Hampshire last night at Trump’s party. But his conditions of release prohibit travel outside New York and DC without advanced notice to the prosecution and pretrial services. Did he tell them he was going to NH?

@GottaLaff Habba was also in NH last night. Miraculous recovery after being sick with COVID in court on Monday.

One, the judges in the case very clearly were not buying it, and it doesn't seem likely that the US Supreme Court would either.

Two, let's be clear that if this argument did pass judicial review and Trump did become president, he would absolutely 100% start murdering people. He wouldn't even blink.

Fuckers won't give me an rsv shot because I'm not 60.

WHO MAKES UP THESE STUPID FUCKING RULES?

TerpieCat,
@TerpieCat@ohai.social avatar

@TheJen @Alice The reason why the shingles vaccination is not offered to everyone who has had chicken pox (and why certain other vaccinations are age-restricted) is because it's only ever been tested in adults over 50 and therefore has only been approved by the FDA for adults over 50. Presumably it hasn't been tested in younger adults because shingles is typically mild in younger adults, though some young folks do get nasty cases of shingles.
