What I Got Out Of This Verdict Business

 1.  If ever called to jury duty....in the selection process, I'll state that I'll only participate if the Judge's instructions are printed out and handed to me in a physical form.  If the answer is 'no'.....I'll respond I'm identifying as deaf-dumb-blind.

2.  I would imagine within seven days....Trump picks up around half-a-billion dollars of campaign funds.  On the next key day, where sentencing occurs (July)?  There's likely to be another round of donations....in the half-billion range.  

3.  Blacks now identifying themselves as 'left-the-Democrats'?  I sat and watched about a dozen Twitter pieces where black men and women readily identified as former-Democrats or former-Biden-supporters, and they now see Trump as one of them....damaged by the crapped-up justice system.  I would imagine just in the NY City and Chicago areas.....you flipped half-a-million black voters overnight.  By July, I think in Illinois....it's possible that it flips now to 'red' (for Trump).  

4.  On appeals (only after sentencing)?  Just within NY state....half of the convictions are thrown out.  As they approach the Supreme Court?  All of these charges/convictions left....will dissolve, and many journalists will be sitting there and asking....what exactly was the court 'show' all about?

5.  If I were an employee of the FBI or Justice Department....I'd pull up my resume  and start asking headhunters....where can I find work in January?  Those feeling secure?  I might ask how my mortgage for a home in Arlington or Fairfax will be covered.....if I suddenly get relieved and 'let-go'.  There's to be a fire-sale atmosphere in February/March of 2025 in the DC region....houses probably going for 30-to-40 percent off the 2022 price scale.  FBI agents ending up at the Georgia ATF agency, or working for some state beverage-control shop? Yeah, and agents taking a 50-percent pay-cut.

6.  Hunter Biden and 'team'?  I'd start to wonder about spring of 2025.....if a new team arrives with fresh prosecution goals.  I probably wouldn't stay in the US.....likely planning some exit to Central America or some African country.

7.  Efforts to control the campaign by Joe Biden's crew?  If you lost half the black voting block....you got serious damage.

Word Chatter

Just a funny footnote....legal system is getting rid of the word 'criminal'.

In the future....you will utter 'Justice-Impacted-Individual' (JII).

Next up?  I would imagine jail will go away, and Temporary-Holding-Facility (THF) will be used.

Down the line....'fat' will go away....'stupid'  will disappear, and 'crazy' will be replaced.
