TIL about “The Gang of Eight” and how it might have helped in Mike Johnson doing a 180 on Ukraine aid. Neat.

@Shyster Are objections in opening statements a typical/normal thing?
Politics And Current Events
We were taught they are procedurally allowed but should be used very sparingly as they leave a bad impression on the jury. So pick your spots and use discretion.

I agree with dodint. They're not common, but objections to opening statements are not prohibited.

Thanks, always interested to see if what’s being reported truly is what it’s made out to be.

Agreed... whole thing is crazy with the coverage.

Haven't watched the episode yet. Glancing at the title...he's breathlessly covering the coverage, right?
It's nice he's taking a night off from talking about Israel, but...c'mon man.

He is, largely making fun of what they're covering, but then at the end there's a nice little twist.Haven't watched the episode yet. Glancing at the title...he's breathlessly covering the coverage, right?

seems like anti-Israel protests are getting out of hand now. Columbia University had to cancel in person classes for two weeks (and having seen some examples, a lot of it gets into anti-Semitism territory)
kind of sad that anyone falls for the over the rhetoric like that

Weird way to say they have been way out of hand for days on multiple campuses across the country.

Do you have some examples of this? I'm curious what the anti-Semitism looks like... Is it just anti-Israel/anti-zionist or straight up "Kill all Jews" kind of stuff?Source of the postand having seen some examples, a lot of it gets into anti-Semitism territory

Yeesh... just watched a few of those. Yeah, I'm certainly not saying there's zero antisemitism at all. Clearly, from some, there is. Although, I don't know how much of it is because they're Jewish or how much of it is because Israel happens to be a Jewish country that's in this war. Kind of a chicken or the egg thing.
Like in America after 9/11... was there an anti-Muslim sentiment? Absolutely. But it likely wasn't because anyone here had a deep hatred for Muslims prior to that. It's because the people that attacked did so in the name of Islam.
That said, yes... humans are dumb.

It's also part "anyone who is antisemitic feels more emboldened to act that way now" too. I mean, just going off your 9/11 example: There's no historical precedence of islamophobia pre-911 being anywhere near the already large presence of antisemitism that's existed this last century.

Trump violation of gag order hearing. He has to pay $1k for each violation. Gets out of the hearing and immediately violates it again. Please stop with the slaps on the wrist and stern finger wags. He deserves at least a night in jail. Any other person would have been there already.

FTC just voted to ban non-compete agreements

Federal regulators on Tuesday enacted a nationwide ban on new noncompete agreements, which keep millions of Americans — from minimum-wage earners to CEOs — from changing jobs within their industries.
The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday afternoon voted 3-to-2 approve the new rule, which will ban noncompetes for all workers when the regulations take effect in 120 days. For senior executives, existing noncompetes can remain in force. For all other employees, existing noncompetes are not enforceable.

Maybe he can sell more "NEVER SURRENDER" merch featuring a photo of him taken 5 mins after he surrendered.
Politics And Current Events
He can sell one pair of Trump sneakers to pay for a violation. $1k is hilariously low.
