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.
Alina Habba, one of Trump’s attorneys, said that she also was feeling ill on Monday and had recently been exposed to COVID-19 at a dinner with her parents.
And, knowing that, she went to court and exposed others.
There are so many reasons to disbar her, if not imprison her...
And this is why some of us are getting booster shots every year. Clearly we can’t trust our fellow citizens, that’s one of the main things I learned during the pandemic. Hell at this point even people who were social distancing have seemingly forgotten or stopped caring.
I get booster shots as soon as they're available, but they're no guarantee for me and they don't help people like the immunocompromised or babies, neither of whom can get vaccinated against COVID who need everyone else to be vaccinated to protect them.
Which is why every single person who can safely be vaccinated and chooses not to is very selfish. It's not about them, it's about sick people and fucking babies.
He finally got the delay he wanted. Maybe he can twist this into an executable strategy. Get a revolving door of council and pay them to be repeatedly exposed to Covid?
.... Pay?
Alina is a liar. Test her!
She was tested and it was negative. Read the article.
RAT's have a high false negative rate so unsurprising result
Judge needs to order PCR tests
Sympathies to the juror.
Most useful contribution Alina Habba has made to the case so far...
Just an exposure? Set up a Teams/Zoom call.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump selects Alina Habba as his running mate. She's exactly what he likes.
He's considering Tucker Carlson. Probably others too, but think about that for a minute. What a pair.
Let's hope his symptoms aren't trivial.
Be interesting to know which way that juror votes ...
