Glad you're here. Arrived three days ago and in my spare time I've been looking for people I followed at the old place. Was disappointed when I didn't see you on the first pass and I wasn't looking forward to losing touch when I deactivate x. Seems much nicer here.
I just saw you on MSNBC talking about the "different" Trump from what you saw during the trial. That's because last summer he was playing the victim by squenching up his face into a pout and the press fell for it and gave him closeups day and night. He won thru those false anguished faces.
I’ve never been so happy to see someone’s profile in my life Lisa!!! I finally deactivated & deleted TwiXter but only after waiting forever to see if you’d come over. Lawofruby has always been my go to! You keep me sane while I’m married 39 yrs to an atty/sub-judge who WAS a MAGAt til this year! 💙💙💙
I tuned in to watch YOU today on DLWH. First time since Nov 5. Miss you. Thanks for all your hard work and the years of education and experience that back it up.
Sorry, Lisa --cause so glad to see you here -- but disagree with what you said this AM about SOME reason for ABC to settle as it did.Trial lawyers know that there is NEVER settlement for such a sum without super strong chance of losing. Here, not even attempt to negotiate! Pure ABC bribery.
Winning all swing states was an astronomical oddity, in the millions or billions to one. That Jill Stein was able to get 700,000 votes in states that Harris lost is just as astounding to me. We know voting machines were tampered with in some states what if anything was extracted and changed?
HELLO TO YOU TOO. please post more.
Here I will share this from YOU>

Let 2025 be the year that we stop treating civil judgments like prosecutions’ poor relation. What matters, as Gisele Pelicot reminds us, is that the shame changes sides.

In general, federal evidentiary rules prohibit the admission of a defendant’s “prior bad acts” to show their propensity to commit the crime or conduct at issue.
Its holdings about the use of testimony from other sexual assault victims and other evidence that shows a defendant’s modus operandi not only will complicate Trump’s continued efforts to fight Carroll’s two jury verdicts but will reverberate throughout federal courts. 2/
