What was the racial makeup of the jury?

Racial makeup? Is that like blackface?

@89th said in Jussie Smollet's trial:
To be fair, he has more name recognition now. That was an end goal?
Not sure if "fair" is the right word, but Mrs. George commented that the motivation was publicity, of which there is no such thing as "bad."
If he goes to prison (and I doubt he will), perhaps his fame will give him some juice.

At least that is some good news. Pretend crimes should have real consequences. Sadly, too often real crimes have pretend consequences.

Lyin' Joe:
To be fair, his predecessor lied like a bastard about the "greatest crime in history".

No question.
But, interestingly, the Orange Man gets called out on it time and again, and Lyin' Amtrak Joe gets a pass.
(he lied about his Amtrak miles again, yesterday)

I'm no fan of Biden, or of the US media's treatment of him, however lying with some stupid anecdote about Amtrak miles, and about having the Presidential election stolen from him really aren't the same thing.
I know, I know, you can say we're just arguing about price. Except we really aren't.

Of course they're not.
Neither is his law school prowess, the number of degrees he got, travels with Mandela, or a hundred other things.
But all of them speak to either character or soundness of mind. I'll grant you that Trump lacked the former. Biden lacks them both.

I was never that convinced of Trump's sanity either, to be honest.
