Can Joe still count to "4"?

Kilroy was the last name of a supervisor/inspector at the Bethlehem Steel Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts, during World War II.  He'd write "Kilroy was here" while ship building to keep track of what areas he had already inspected.

Should have written "Kilroy was here!"

I thought registration laws were already in place.

Only us post Vietnam War kids born in 1957, 58, and 59 didn't have to.

I don't think it's automatic? I turned 18 in 1994, i had to do it manually.

This is a dangerous situtation for DJT, I'd rather him not be poking the bear in NYC.

Yep, but he cannot help himself. Even though the trial is a sham, inflaming the situation only makes things worse.

Trump team could move to file emergency filing with Supreme Court: Shannon Bream

Former President Donald Trump's legal team may have grounds to file some type of emergency filing with the Supreme Court, according to Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream.

The Supreme Court rarely gets involved with state cases, but the options jurors have to pick from in deciding the case of NY v. Trump "provides a POSSIBLE path for some type of emergency filing with the Supreme Court," Bream said Thursday.

Fox News legal editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn pointed out that "It is remarkable a tax crime could be one of the options the jury has to pick from given we sat here for weeks and heard almost nothing about it."

"I don’t see how that’s not a due process violation on its face," Urbahn noted. The "smorgasbord approach" offered to the jury for finding that Trump committed an underlying crime, plus the "vague NY election law at play in this case (similar to vague law at play in the Trump civil fraud trial), really makes you question what kind of chance you have in the NY legal system if the DA’s office is out to get you," Urbahn said.

"If the Trump team can articulate some federal/constitutional claims arising out of what’s happened here, it’s likely worth a shot for the Trump team to try. If not, they really haven’t lost much," added Bream, the anchor of "Fox News Sunday."

The jury began its second day of deliberation just before 11:30 A.M., with the jury spending the bulk of the morning rehearing both judge instructions and specific testimony jurors had requested.

Why is Congress suddenly interested in automagically registering folks for a future draft?

What has made a do-nothing, be-nothing Congress get off it's dynfunctional fat ass to dedicate time and resources into thinking about the next draft?  Are they planning a future war?

‘I’ve Seen It Done’: Alan Dershowitz Speculates Merchan Is Prepared To Swap ‘One Juror’ Who ‘Won’t Give In’

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Wednesday that it is possible New York Judge Juan Merchan is not dismissing alternate jurors in order to deal with a holdout that will not convict former President Donald Trump.

Merchan issued instructions to the jury of seven men and five women Wednesday, pointing them to some of the key evidence in the case prior to the panel beginning its deliberations. Dershowitz admitted he was speculating during Wednesday’s episode of “The Dershow” about Merchan’s reason for keeping the alternates available, but said he had seen a judge in an unrelated case make a similar move.

“I admit this is highly, highly speculative, but there… I know a case on this, so that I’m not making it up: The judge said he’s not going to dismiss the alternate jurors until there’s an absolute verdict,” Dershowitz said. “One possible reason for that, again, I want to emphasize that I’m speculating, one possible reason for this might be following, it is quite cynical: Let’s assume that the jurors come back and say, ‘Sorry we’re, uh, we’re deadlocked. We have one juror who just won’t give in. Well, there are eleven of us who think he’s guilty.’ By the way, the jurors don’t say what they think, they just say there’s a deadlock, but if they come back that way, the inference will be that the jury is, that is, is locked eleven to one in favor of conviction.’”
