@mark_k @elonmusk The most annoying interview ever, you want to say? I mean, they don't let him speak

@McCormickJohn “Just after Christmas, a viral video made allegations—some quickly debunked by Minnesota news outlets—of fraud involving daycare centers.” Debunked how?

@RedArkGuy @JavierBlas @AKurmanaev I think Perplexity has it right: "Socialism of the 21st Century,” featuring heavy state control over key sectors like oil while allowing some private enterprise." That's definitely not laissez-faire.

@JohnDePetroshow “For whatever reason” = they had no case. Actually, there are indications of a cover up.

Is there a more deserving case of a journalist than @DoctorTurtleboy for a Pulitzer Prize? How often do you see a journalist having such an impact? How often do you have a journalist uncover such a case of institutional corruption and, in the process, save a woman from a wrongful conviction? If trust in institutions is to be regained – and right now it is at a very low level, and justly so – accountability must be restored, and that requires good journalists who are willing to stand up and question authority #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial #FreeKarenRead

The happiest person today is not Karen Read. It’s the “what if any” prosecutor, paperclips Lally. #freekarenreed #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial

Does anyone else get the lazy boss vibes from Aunt Bev? Her highest priority – other than getting a guilty verdict for Karen Read – was to get the maximum possible number of days off. Especially keen on ending the days early, reliably starting almost all days late. Not eager to state her legal reasoning often, relying most often on an “I said so” type of argument. In the few cases where she bothered to state her reasoning, she misstated either facts or law or both. Her court was a very unpredictable one. You could not deduce from her the principles by which she was operating. It was an outcome-driven court, and it was so in the most sluggish way possible. She was too lazy to make decisions within a reasonable time frame, and things would carry on until it was really late in the day or the process. She had a special inclination for everything that would tickle her sense of authority. She couldn’t say “sustain”; she would go with “I will allow that.” As lazy bosses go, she confused the mannerisms associated with authority with the actual source of authority. She favored an almost slavish obeisance from the lawyers, as if the respect and authority should not come from competence, impartiality, and diligence, but should just spring forward from the announcement of one’s title as a judge. What a sorry-ass case of a judge. #KarenReadRetrial #KarenReadTrial #FreeKarenRead #KARENREADISGUILTY

Hey Brennan, if your case is so good, why your side was caught lying so many times? Why would you take that risk? #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial2 #KarenReadRetrial

@JohnDePetroshow Perhaps slightly more forgivable than claiming X-rays don’t exist, when they clearly do.

It would have be interesting if the prosecution had been able to substantiate any of this. Their case in chief came and went and all you can do is state a number of suppositions and assume and expect everyone to take them as true. That’s not much and especially nothing much in a murder case.

Imagine you're tasked with watching the Karen Read trial and reporting to a lawyer about what kind of judge Beverly Cannone is. What could you say? Is she a stern judge? Well, it depends. The prosecutor in the Karen Read case seems able to do almost anything without facing consequences. Is Cannone a lax judge? Not when it comes to the defense. She appears very strict, stern, and impatient with defense counsel. Is she a by-the-book judge? No. Everything appears to be in a state of flux. There is little to no predictability in her rulings—rules and precedent are often interpreted in ways that seem blatantly aimed at achieving specific outcomes. Given all this, is Cannone perhaps a generally pro-prosecution judge? Surprisingly, no. She has been overturned multiple times during her tenure, often in cases where she made decisions in favor of the defense. From watching the Karen Read trial, the only clear conclusion is that Judge Cannone appears extremely biased against the defendant, Karen Read. That’s the only consistent observation one can make about her judicial conduct in this case. #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial #FreeKarenRead

Will you be surprised that now the defence is to start its case the judge, who also acts as part-time prosecutor of Karen Read, will be very concerned about time? Might also imply to the jurors that we were so on time till now, but now, oh my!!!! #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial

@JohnDePetroshow Fact free as always John

@lisamarieLML Red herring

@brianstelter @kaitlancollins Did you ever mentioned constitutional crisis for this?

The direct federal payments to the press should end any illusions you might have about the outlets which received them. They operated under a lie while hunting corruption in others. All should be removed from your reading lists, devices, etc. A smooth sharp cut. For health.

America not so unique in this type of crime anymore. “A series of violent attacks has shaken China in recent weeks. On November 11th, 35 people were killed and 43 injured when a man drove through a crowd in Zhuhai, a southern city. The police said he was angry at how assets had been divided after his divorce. Five days later in the eastern city of Wuxi, eight were stabbed to death at a vocational school by a former student, said to be unhappy about his pay after graduation. Three days after that, several people were injured when a car rammed into families waiting outside a primary school in Changde, a city in Hunan, a central province. “Such incidents are known in China as “revenge on society” attacks. They have become grimly familiar in a country used to low levels of other crime. Before the latest spate, at least six other attacks had occurred just this year, including one at a school in Beijing and one at a Shanghai supermarket. All were committed by men using knives or cars as weapons. Typically, the perpetrator seemed to be lashing out at innocent bystanders out of anger or despair. Many Chinese are searching for explanations. Some are asking if the violence is being fuelled by economic woes.” - The Economist 11/28/24
