Dozing off isn't evidence of that, although there are signs of it in his speeches. It's just amusing because he cares more about how he looks on TV than just about anything else.

It’s not a sign of diminished cognitive function, but falling asleep in public in the middle of the day is a pretty stereotypical “old man being old” situation.

Trump’s dementia/sun downing is going to be the Biden sexual assault allegation of this cycle.

Curious your take on the Hush Money charge.

Clearly Trump was trying to hide this. And would have likely warranted misdemeanor charges had the SOL not run out?

What do you make of the upgrade to felony? Reasonable? A stretch?

Working for the Biden campaign should not disqualify someone from jury duty. Just like working for the Trump campaign shoul not automatically exclude you.

“Campaign worker” I’m inclined to agree, though I would still have to question their ability to be impartial.

“Biden staffer” serving on Trump’s criminal jury?

The questions should be permitted to be asked during jury selection. That's bs on the judge on that. If a lawyer wants to use one of their challenges, bc they worked on either campaign, well that's their right. It should be an auto out IMO. Either way.

Of course a campaign worker (for either) should automatically be disqualified from being a juror. How freaking hard would it be to find 12 jurors in Manhattan that haven't worked for either campaign?

Ms. Habba also has an ability to not tell the full truth or to conveniently omit important details that run contrary to her argument...

I agree campaign volunteers or workers should not be included....

How many who worked on either campaign are part of the pool? Less then 1 statistically. Lawyers use their exclusion choices for a reason. If I'm Trumps lawyer, and one person in the pool worked forBiden, then yes they are gone. But that's not automatic. There are very few reasons outlined for automatically disqualifying someone from jury duty.

Given how blue NYS and uncompetitive it is from EC perspective, probably less than 1/10,000....

They shouldn't be forced to use their limited exclusions to eliminate a probable biased juror. Not possible but probable. It's just too easy for the judge to exclude them.

It seems like the felony element is pretty thin, so I think I agree. I haven’t followed the case because I didn’t think the crime was that serious.

Some states have tolling provisions that extend the statute of limitations based on certain conduct like concealment of the crime or being out of state. I’m not sure if the misdemeanors are off the table or not.
