(being a victim of a violent crime sucked, but it means I'll probably never be selected so there's that)
I laugh because when I was last called for jury duty and woman said she should be excused for this very reason and the judge said, "ma'am, this is Cook County, everyone has been, or is related to, someone who has been the victim of a crime, that's not going to get you out of performing your civic duty".
Now, I do suspect that if the case involved a violent crime and wasn't a civil case that might have actually been taken into account - but you could see the shoulders slump on other potential jurors who hoped that would be their ticket out.

Grand Jury is different from a regular trial jury, you’re not allowed to talk about what you’ve done even after your service is over.

I’m just going to be the one to say that even if they’re going after people whom I loathe and who want to kill me, grand juries seem blatantly fucked up and insane to anyone with a reasonable outlook on “justice” imho.

ok the poor hatless people of eastern Ohio now have some shitty hats, so there's that
I mean, when your economy has been fucked over by coroporate greed and your air is toxic, it's great that you have a stupid red hat. Hats are well known for their ability to protect you from economic and environmental harms wreaked upon you by... pretty much the same people who gave you a stupid red hat

i'm reading https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/591675/american-made-by-farah-stockman/. it seems like a book length version of those NYT-on-safari-in-a-diner industrial midwest things, padded out to book length. and i guess it kind of is. but it's pretty good and th length allows her to talk a lot more about local labor history, etc. while still ultimately being a long profile of a couple of specific trump voters.
anyway, my point is, reading it, i feel confident that 1) these kinds of voters are not going to turn out for trump again en masse 2) they will never turn out for desantis.

Donald Trump and a group of individuals incarcerated for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 riot have collaborated on a song called “Justice for All.” It will debut Thursday at midnight on streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify, according to a person with knowledge of the project.The track interpolates Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance into “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which is performed by a group of about 20 inmates, called the J6 Prison Choir, housed at the Washington, D.C. jail. The song ends with the inmates chanting, “USA!”Profits are slated to benefit the families of people imprisoned for their alleged roles in the Capitol riots that left five people dead.A music video featuring footage of Trump performing patriotic acts during his presidency and shots of the riots, including police firing tear gas, will debut later Friday morning on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.

In a video set to be released on Friday, Trump will call for a “quantum leap” in the American standard of living.
Trump’s plan, shared in advance with POLITICO, calls for holding a contest to design and create up to ten new “Freedom Cities,” built from the ground up on federal land. It proposes an investment in the development of vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles; the creation of “hives of industry” sparked by cutting off imports from China; and a population surge sparked by “baby bonuses” to encourage would-be-parents to get on with procreation. It is all, his team says, part of a larger nationwide beautification campaign meant to inspire forward-looking visions of America’s future.
"baby bonuses"? that sounds pretty national socialist
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 3 March 2023 21:48 (three years ago)
Great idea, but I've got a better idea. Trump and all his family and friends can buy an island somewhere, declare it tax-free/regulation-free/woke-free, then spend the rest of their days developing flying cars.
