Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
So,
Assessment and thoughts on the whole funny business with that Demonic Rat judge canceling Trump's businesses in NYC?
How badly this will hinder him and us? How badly that this will backfire on the Demonic Rats?
The trial on the rest of the issues starts next week.
The idea that jury-less trials can be used to destroy people is being put front and center. This is a very important aspect to be addressed and for people to understand. As always, Trump is taking the hits for this, to ensure its brought to center stage.
Whatever is the pain from this, he is willing to accept it, even if temporarily.
How will it hinder us? Only as much as we let it bring negativity into our outlook. In other words, for those of us who understand what this timeline is - nothing.
The real jury system is one where the defendant has to bring with him 12 of his own peers, and the prosecution has to convince them that he is guilty. Not saying that would be a good system, but still far from what we have right now.
I think Trump chose not to have a jury.
I know you can have a jury trial in a civil case in NY. I was a juror on one.
6 jurors and you needed 5 of 6 if I remember correctly.

Yeah, it's his choice to do a jury trial or a bench trial which is just a judge.
The trial part starts next week.
