Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 17, 2021 Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 Despite the headline, the article states that consumers are spending more than they have in over a year (which, of course carries its own problems with supply not commensurate with demand causing inflation). Walmart, Home Depot and the rest of their ilk are certainly fairing well, certainly better than they were under the last guy in the White House and yet these companies' CEOs are the first ones running to open their checkbooks to the Republican party. Talk about cognitive dissonance. The strong hold of everlasting greed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 18, 2021 Members Share Posted November 18, 2021 Not to jinx it more than it already is, but given how much of a sham this trial has appeared to be from the beginning I'm legit surprised the Rittenhouse jury is taking this long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted November 18, 2021 Members Share Posted November 18, 2021 I've never expected him to be convicted. I'm genuinely surprised that the jury is still out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 18, 2021 Members Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I'm seriously beginning to suspect they'll either hang or convict, at which point Judge Lee Greenwood will immediately declare a mistrial (which he's elected to delay ruling on since the defense asked for one yesterday mid-deliberations, probably bc they're spooked), possibly with prejudice, which I believe would prevent Rittenhouse from being tried again. He's shopping for the verdict he wants before he nukes the alternative. I expect Rittenhouse to walk no matter what, but seeing the jury defy this entire sham and that despicable judge would be nice. Big if. Edited November 18, 2021 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
