A special grand jury seated to help an investigation by the Georgia prosecutor who ultimately indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 others had recommended charging 39 people, including South Carolina Sen.

    Does anyone else think the fact that there was at least one “No” for every charge means there was at least one Trumpist on the jury?

      Yeah, that makes me seriously doubt that these people will ever be held accountable by an actual jury. Looks like a Trumper got onto the grand jury where they don’t need unanimous decisions, but if one sneaks their way onto the actual jury, then these traitors are going to get a free pass.

      Yes. It’s like that One Downvote Guy in every Lemmy thread. You could have a thread about how clean water and air are good for living things, hundreds of comments, great conversation, and maybe not immediately but in due course, underneath every single comment, no matter how highly rated, there’s that One. Single. Downvote.

      “No! I disagree! I am heard! Downvote for you! And you! And you! I slay you all! My wrath is like rain, one mighty downvote at a time! And you! I have downvotes for EVERYONE!!1!”

      Hell, for all we know it’s the very same asshole, and as fate would have it, our own One Downvote Guy was also a Trumpist on the grand jury in Fulton County, just sitting there, waiting through all the legal stuff, day after day, #2 pencil gripped tightly in hand, anticipating his own special moment to shine.

      Stranger things have happened.
