will the secret service have to guard him when he's in prison? Questions that keep me up at night lol

I've said this before but the obvious solution is to reopen Guantanamo and just leave him there.

He'll have to fend off the seagulls himself.

Guantanamo never closed

Now I know what to stream on my second monitor while working. Reminds me of the Depp v. Heard. I got that shit playing on my second monitor non stop. I'm not much of a person who likes to bicker. But watching rich people fight each other warms some part of me.

On a side note, I GUARANTEE that Kenneth Chesebro was in a frat and that the others called him Kenny Cheese-Bro.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bet they just called him Cheese.

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I wonder if his lawyers will be as much of a train wreck as those that represented Amber Heard?

[–] Rejacked@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got a feeling that Heard's lawyers will look like Harvard Law professors, compared to these folks.

Honestly didn't think there was ever going to be a trial more closely watched than OJ's. Guess he'll get the ratings he's always friggin obsessed with.

"I wish to have the greatest ratings of anyone ever!"

They interrupted my 8th grade art class to hear the OJ Simpson verdict. This is way bigger than that.
