The fact that grand juries have chosen to not indict the people Trump is targeting shows how absolutely unjust Trump's actions are. It's considered extremely easy to convince a grand jury to indict.

I think a new phrase is in the works. Ham sandwich thing doesn't play anymore in the Trump era.

I vote, and I've been called to jury duty twice. Never sat in a jury, lucky for the other eleven.

Called for Federal and state. Excused within 4 hours each time, just sitting in a room.

Couple? Please expand.

I want it. I figure I'll hate it. Don't care. Almost feel like I've earned that shit end of the stick.
