Giant Food store in Ward 8 of Washington, DC. We learned that this Giant has lost over $500,000 in product loss, which is about 20% of the sales.
This is the jury pool for Trump's case....

Part of the Plan. As though nobody could see this coming. Seriously.
That’s the reaction of someone who doesn’t have a reasonable response, and it’s light years from a judicial demeanor. It’s reminiscent of that great jurist Roland Freisler.
America is ruled by spoiled children.
We have a looong overdue date with consequences coming.
Why doesn’t she just declare Trump guilty of anything they say he’s guilty of and save us the drama ?
The conviction and sentencing should wrap up before the New Year.
No kidding.

This is the killer statement that damns everything she has said and done.
She has conceeded the point - Biden brought criminal charges to subvert his political opponent and in her view those criminal charges therefore stick because Trump's political campaing must be surrendered in the face of those criminal charges brought by his political opponent. Trump's 1st ammendment rights be damned as well.
Barr’s Epstein Memorial Jail Cell will soon be home to DJT, and a week later will be renamed the Trump Memorial Jail Cell.
The fundamental transformation of America proceeds according to plan.
This is the judge who was born and raised in Jamaica and grew up in the British legal system? No wonder she has no problem admitting that she is engaging in election interference.
She’s a total kangaroo.
The Constitution granted Congress jurisdiction over the District. Congress is derelict in their duties.
DC is a dangerous cesspool of corruption. Congress needs to restore order there.
How can some foreign smelly island boo be the president judge over a former U.S. president?
From Biden’s first day in the WH the justice system went into lock up mode.
Communism doesn’t allow justice systems.
I wonder if a sweet plea deal like Hunter's would be better politically.
His supporters are not budging so how quickly can he end this.
Does anyone think the juries will find him not guilty? Then the endless appeals.
What is the upside to this and when and how does it end?
So her intent is to hang him after the fair trial?
If only there was an adversarial political party that controlled the House of Representatives, They would Issue a Subpoena and have the Capitol Police serve her and bring her in for a Committee hearing by the House Judiciary Committee, then they could just REMAND HER INTO CUSTODY while they search her entire Background for a Crime while impeachment proceedings move forward
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Have Trump’s lawyers yey made a formal detailed motion that this biased judge recuse herself? Did they make a formal motion to dismiss the charges? Both motions will be declined by her but interloquatory appeals will stall this trial for a very long time and when it the motions reach the Supreme Court, the whole thing may be quashed.
My, how professional.
I recently sat in a board meeting for my electrical utility. During public comments, a lady went straight off the rails talking about a demonic influence of our government and 85,000 missing children from the border…
ZERO to do with the electric utility; but every single one of the board members sat there stony faced and listened, when time was up they thanked her for her comment and moved on. And 1/2 the board are greenies.
Then you have this bitty judge that can’t hide her disdain.
