Tuesday’s criminal court session wrapped up with 7 of the necessary twelve jurors chosen.
Here’s the jury questionnaire. Feel free to follow along, if you’d like.
Both the first and second days of the former president’s criminal trial in New York also included short little naps by the Diet-Coke-deprived defendant. According to reports, when he is not answering charges in various courtrooms, the Defendant-In-Chief drinks a dozen Diet Cokes a day. Courts don’t allow food or drink, so…
There’s no telling what the long-term effect of so many Diet Cokes is having on the man’s body, but we can guess that it’s not good. The rule of thumb is we limit ourselves to one diet soda a day. According to UCLA, prolonged and excessive consumption of diet sodas leads to:
…weight gain, disruptions to gut health, cardiovascular problems and an increased craving for sweets. More recently, studies have linked the diet soda habit to an increased risk of stroke.
The Defendant-In-Chief may be a teetotaler when it comes to alcohol, but he is most definitely enjoying brief highs of multiple hits of the artificial sweetener aspartame, which can deliver symptoms such as irritability, migraines, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
The trial resumes Thursday. Perhaps the DIC can pound down his aspartame during the break, but whatever shall the rest of us do to fill the hours? (That’s rhetorical. I think I’ll mow my yard.)
Full disclosure: This is not my original retort. But this is TFG's real battle with "wokeness."
I get my news, in no particular order, from Heather Cox Richardson, Beau of the Fifth Column, Stonekettle Station (Jim Wright), Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Threads, and Susan Campbell. If trial attorneys are making a habit of examining a potential juror's social media, I'll never have to serve again.
