Wait, the same people who have said for years that Covid is not that bad are now suddenly using it as an excuse to get out of their legal responsibilities? It's almost like conservatives operate in bad faith.
And the irony is lost on most of them and their supporters.
Conservatives: "Irony?! Ain't that women's work?"
I don't know, metallurgy has never been my forte.
Cognitive dissonance doesn't work on those people.
irony? They see it as an excellent 5d chess move to use a "fake virus" as an excuse to delay their gods trial.
Minor note:
I think "their god's judgement" sounds cooler
Bold of you to assume they operate.
If it looks like they've accomplished anything to you, picture that scene in 'world war z' where the pile of zombies shambles up and over the wall in Israel. From the other side you just see the first few zombies toppling over and it looks impressive but behind that wall there is a pile of brainless zombies trying to get in. They aren't working together, just throwing enough bodies in the right direction so it appears to be willful and with intent from the outside.
Modern conservatives are the exact same thing, shambling brainless concubines of fascism and willful ignorance.
I always imagine them all working in a constant state of ignorance and lack of empathy.
FWIW there was also a juror sent home feeling unwell and possibly exposed to Covid. If it had just been Alina, the judge may have insisted that one of her associates continue the defense.
