I bet Afroman got high to celebrate his victory.

this could happen!

I've said before that I fully expect the fat oaf and his cronies to profit immensely via insider trading: part of the MAGA playbook.

Look, we all know politicians are in it for the money, but most at least try to camouflage their criminality: but not this clown.

Certainly possible. His blatherings can move the markets significantly. Knowing what he will say certainly can be used to make billions.

I’m wondering about the legality of this mess. If someone knows that Apple made 3 billion dollars last quarter instead of the predicted 2 billion, buying Apple is called insider trading. But is ‘General knowledge’, like, we’ve made a deal with Iran to keep Hormuz open, and acting on it, technically ‘insider trading’? Some other criminal event?

Just learned that the liver of the polar bear is toxic, the only portion of any quadruped that can't be eaten. It stores too much vitamin A

Trial was over, Jury dismissed. All parties dismissed. Time for the judge to exit stage left. Adios muchachos!

Claims judge was pissed at the jury a bunch of nonsense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id5htYEIEC4

He came out of retirement to preside over this case
Knew everybody in the sherriffs dept
Generally court costs are paid by the loser
There are exceptions
This is one of them

WTF
"Based on the relative merits of the case"
What merits
WTF

Listening to a juror being interviewed
They were shocked that the sheriffs were able to get a search warrant on the flimziest of evidence
A person arrested for drugs was willing to tell the Sheriff's anything
What a whopper of a story
She said Afroman had a basement dungeon with milutiple prisoners doing their business in a bucket
WTF. The sherriffs bought it even though the informant kept changing their story
Afroman has no basement
Jurors were shocked that a sherriff can search somebody's home due to an obvious outrageous lie
A basement dungeon with prisoners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody in the area missing. No local kidnappings reported
Yet the Sheriff's bought it lock stock and barrel. Juror said that was the most shocking part of the case

Since when in the US does the plaintiff pay the defendant's costs? In the US, both parties pay their own costs, in general. in England, however, the loser pays. Not taking the cops' side on this, but the judge did find there were claims that deserved to go to a jury.
