I don't believe alternates can step in once deliberations start.

The judge can, but there needs to be a motion and it needs to be for "misconduct," such as lying during their panel, not merely being opinionated. Or if a juror is hospitalized and cannot participate.

An article said the man who self immolated himself was throwing flyers around. Anyone know yet what those flyers said? Apparently they were blowing around outside.

Not trying to make fun of anyone with a mental illness; but, this is taking the orange turd's complaint about it being freezing in the court room to the extreme.

Dangerous things words can be. They can always be subject to interpretation.

Some bullshit about Beyonce sending immigrants to use vaccines to turn your children into transgender Muslims.

Seriously, there's no revelation coming here.

I wish people would stop with the diaper stuff. You're not funny. You're not clever. It's just cruelty to someone you don't care about being cruel to, but Trump won't see your posts (unless you're on the jury) but people here who suffer from health issues and are disabled will. And they don't deserve mockery.

There's a thread on it now.

"Investigators are now fanning out to collect the flyers the unknown man threw into the air, another senior law enforcement official. A CNN team on the ground observed one of the flyers. It said "NYU is a mob front" and had various allegations of wrongdoings against the school."

Trump is only being attacked over normal human frailty stuff because he presents himself as the perfect human specimen. Nobody in the history of human has ever been as healthy and perfect as him. It is Trump's hypocrisy people are attacking. If it was anyone else, people would not be reporting on the sleeping or fart. Trump made it an issue.

I understand why they're doing it. They don't need to do it here where things like ableism are (in theory) prohibited.

Not to say that you're wrong for being against self-immolation but I don't think we should compare this (which looks like it might be a genuinely unwell government conspiracy theorist, if the "Trump and Biden are working together to fascist coop us" sign was his) to a man who ended his life to bring attention to a genocide our own government is taking part in.

Personally for it's more to point out the projection.

He literally calls Joe Biden 'sleepy Joe'

EDIT: Didn't realize it was about the diapers.
I think it's important for people to call him out specifically on this stuff because it's a distraction to him. Him being distracted with petty nonsense is how he fails to get anything done. It's really been the downfall of the party for the last several years. Someone doing something really dumb or embarrassing themselves in some way means their aides now have to respond to a crisis.

Donald Trump has closed his eyes a number of times for short periods while seated at the defense table as prospective jurors respond to the judge's questionnaire. At one point, his attorney Todd Blanche passed him a container of something edible and Trump put something in his mouth and began chewing it. The former president now appears awake and alert.

They've got to have a good lol at the mentally ill for good measure as well.

What is Merchan quoting?

"They also want Judge Juan Merchan to allow them to ask about a Trump lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and others that resulted in Trump and one of his lawyers being sanctioned and ordered to pay $937,989 in fees for filing a frivolous, bad-faith lawsuit. The judge in that case handed down the penalty after having found that "Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries. He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer. He knew full well the impact of his actions."

Prosecutors seek to ask Trump about civil fraud, E. Jean Carroll cases and more if he testifies in hush money case

Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office said they want to ask about the cases to "impeach the credibility of the defendant."

Judgment reserved on the Sandoval stuff. Reporting varies as to whether it will be tomorrow morning or Monday morning.

Judge Merchan has denied Trump's attempt to reopen his immunity argument, and reserved judgment on some limiting instructions about Michael Cohen's testimony.

So probably we'll have about a half-hour of rulings Monday before they bring the jury in.

Defense still want notice of prosecution witnesses. DA concedes he will tell them one witness name Sunday evening - but if that gets tweeted out, they're never getting advance notice of any others.
