Sometimes it seems like it all happens at once.
These trials and investigations take years, and suddenly like in the last couple days there is some sort of resolution. Just in the last 24 hours we've had
--Alex Jones civil fine of nearly $1billion --Parkland shooter jury decision - recommends Life in prison without parole --The Jan 6 committed concludes and recommends subpoena for Trump Something like this happened a few weeks ago where there were also several unrelated major legal results in just a few hours. (Can't remember -- there have been too many!) It's all a lot to absorb. |

Verdicts are like Policemen, who are like busses...
There's never one there when you need one, and when you don't need one, ten of them turn up all at the same time! |
