How likely is it…that a man who has never read a book, and whose attention span means he can’t take in anything that’s more than a page long……
will have a masterplan ?
I have a pet ant that can hold a thought longer than that
Ken Griffey Jr. is at the Masters this year as a credentialed photographer 👏

I admire JK Rowling enormously. Why? Because having attained professional success and wealth beyond the imagination of most of us, she could have taken the easy option and kept her head down. Instead, she put herself on the frontline to defend her fellow women, knowing that she would become a hate figure in the eyes of many. That takes guts and principles.

Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.

It is not only Prosecutorial Fear (the Cs Club); proseccutors need a cohesive team with capable investigatory skills and an experienced Trial Attorney`s knowlege of the "FRE", Federal Rules of Evidence. Much broader use of Pre-Trial motions called motions in limine would help too. Check out the skilled lawyers in the Backroom of the Jan 6th Committee offices. Team members do not have to be lawyers. It's called good legal work.
Bryan Manhattan DA Vance brought in two superbly qualified lawyers to handle the Trump criminal prosecution. They pleaded with DA Bragg to continue the case. When he refused, they resigned the same day. These prosecutors were ready to risk their reputations in trying a ‘difficult case.’
I’m not completely up to date—I knew the two staff members resigned…but has it now been confirmed Bragg stopped the grand jury activity? If so, what is the reasoning? Is this a final decision after all that work?
