we have a jury

at 4 alternate jurors

How was he able to say that?

It appears that for some potential jurors, their very temporal existence is in question. Prospective juror is excused after saying she doesn't think she "can be completely here and fair" A prospective juror has been excused this morning after she said she has really bad anxiety and doesn't think she "can be completely here and fair."

and there it is https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_224873.htm Its a bloody nose for Xi and Putin. Not one that they can't survive for sure but it spoils one of their spoilers.

More importantly...and this cannot be stressed enough. Milei is a clown but he's definitely making a great move for 21st century civilization by withdrawing Argentina's application to BRICS This is good with the usual expectation that the next party in power in Argentina will be the former flavor of kleptocrats who seek greater and greater bailouts from China and whoever else is trying to make the United States feel pain.

ok Stavropol is in the middle of the northern Caucasus

Very interesting that Judge refused to force prosecutors to hand over the names of the first three witnesses. Judge knows Trump would attempt to coerce them.

Finally the rich brat has real inconveniences

We have our jury

At 12 jurors and rising. Let’s hope they can protect them.

good!

it was too cold but I get where you were going with this.

I would not like that.

Kerry!

You know what I don't like Is triple bottom trucks on the OH Turnpike.

Trump beefing about the temp in the courtroom and Judge is not going to budge because its his courtroom.

My guess is he means Stonewall Jackson. That was probably what he learned from his father when he was hearing about the KKK meetings he went to.

There is a...according to some wag I taked to in the freight business a real increase in costs for goods in the part of Florida below Sanford (near Orlando) where the big freight lines stop due to the crappy conditions for rail south of there. I dunno if that is a real thing or just this guy talking. Freight is king. You do not want to get in between the freight rail companies and their stock prices or threaten to increase insurance costs. Particularly if you are warning them about the danger to moving hazmat through a built up area. They will fight that like mother bear protecting their cubs.

this might be part of the problem with jurors Trump campaign spokesperson and ally are in court today Trump ally Jason Miller and Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung are seated inside the courtroom, according to reports from journalists in court.

He might actually have been thinking of Armistead. He was in the movie and Trump might have focused on that. Brigade commanders are not usually what one thinks of in this regard. The Union lost a much more significant commander in John Reynolds on the first day.

My understanding from working the freight rail and passenger rail security coordination gig back in the aughts was that Europe has most of its freight travel by truck and ship (easier with all that coastline) and the US relies on rail for freight. The rates that industry gets from freight are much more reliable therefore passenger rail is second class citizen except in the NE corridor. I love travelling to NY on rail from DC but having tried it from DC to Western North Carolina where the train had all sorts of stops and maintenance issues, i would be hard-pressed to recommend it. Big fan of European rail networks though. Riding the train from Scotland to London or from Brest to Bayeux is very evocative of the history and culture of those places. Train trips from the Saar area to Frankfurt or Munich were also very cool trips in my younger days. I don't mind seeing ugly factories so long as I get a castle or two as well.
