Thorn 04/15/24 3:21:35 PM #264:	FFDragon posted... also trump's trials, despite his rantings, aren't political! ...dammit you're right. fine. The entire morning (and a tiny bit after the lunch break) was them going through a bunch of pre-trial motions, not an exhaustive list, but some of the bigger ones IMO: Judge Merchan rejects Trump's motion to have Merchan recuse himself (again.) Court will lose a couple days for the observation of Passover (reporting seems confused about this I've seen one day from some, two from others) While the court will also not sit Wednesdays (I believe this is because Wednesday is when Merchan sits for a Mental Health Court) this may be changed if things start running long. Merchan denies Trump's requests to ask jurors questions not already on the (already massive) questionnaire Merchan allows the prosecution to introduce evidence regarding Trump's coordination with the National Enquirer over promoting stories bad for his opponents and suppressing stories bad for Trump. Merchan allows the prosecution to introduce evidence of Karen McDougal having a year-long affair with Trump. Rejects them introducing evidence that Melania was pregnant at the time. Merchan rejects the prosecution introducing the Access Hollywood tape but will allow them to introduce clips of Trump at his rallies denying the allegations. The DA also is seeking to have Trump found in contempt of court for violating the gag order by attacking witnesses (Cohen mostly) on social media - they brought up 4 posts, including one this morning. They're seeking $1000 fine per post (it's the statutory maximum they can ask for in a criminal case for contempt) and for the posts to be taken down. Trump's lawyers, of course, are arguing it's all totally fine because "they attacked Trump" to which the judge was like "don't think i recall gag orders having an exception clause like that" but he's letting both sides submit written arguments and will hear arguments on it next week (which is too long IMO but it might be a schedule thing) Anyway, at about 2 PM-ish they finally started bringing the juror candidates in. I think there's 500 total, 200 were called in to be ready today, and 96 in the first batch they brought in (seating limits I think.) --- May you find your book in this place.

I will say, in the same breath that they banned politics, they did post this: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/80747423 so maybe they foresaw this issue Given the one mod on LUE stating that DToast tried to stop this edict from coming down I do think it's interesting that it's DToast who posted that and not the Fandom guy who posted the politics ban one. I'm not inclined to give Fandom any benefit of the doubt but it does sound like DToast at least tried to stand up for us (I think Allen vouched for him as well when he stepped down.) --- May you find your book in this place.

The moment you mentioned any of the why's or meaningful ramifications, yes.
