60% of the time, the person is guilty every the time?
Today it was my honor to present oral argument in the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas, on behalf of my client.

The issue is whether a trial judge in a criminal case can tell the jury that "beyond a reasonable doubt" can be as low as "60 percent."

But really, we should be happy if we can get 4 or 5 steel instead of the amount we usually get.

By the way, I broke one of my two pencils 😭
The President's Affordability Tour begins with a central message: Cheer up. You can easily do without and enjoy it. And it teaches your entitled kids a healthy lesson. Also steel. That's a real need.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

This is quite possibly the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. Ever.
Trump has spent years fuming that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. So a deeply compromised organization invents a “FIFA Peace Prize” just for him. It’s authoritarian ego-management 101: if reality won’t deliver a trophy, make one up. #holdfast #SteadyState
You can hear a CNN panelist off camera laughing as Trump gets the “2025 FIFA Peace Prize.”

We had chicken parmesan, macaroni and cheese, and salmon as our main courses today and I’m not sorry about it at all.

So what if the penny is no longer being minted. I’ll still scoop them up if I come across copper while metal detecting.

Heck, I’ll stoop over and pick one up off the street (unless it’s covered in gum).

“Supreme Court does not interfere with a president’s signature policy [singular].”

“This is one of President trump’s signature policies [plural].”

He can’t have 100 signature policies that the SC cannot touch

I am convinced that Trump believe this is his world and we merely exist in it for his purposes. That’s why he says, “nobody understands…” when he doesn’t understand that thing. To him, we are not sentient beings, but empty shells walking about.
Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

Look, I understand people might find it difficult to live next to somebody they don’t have anything in common with.

However, even and odd numbers have been doing that for centuries and they are indivisible neighbors.
