I mean I wasn’t really listening but this jumped out at me - what chance is she giving her dad to win the case saying stuff like that !

Someone should surely have clarified that with her before splashing it across the media ?? I can only think that she’s (understandably) so wrapped up with rage that being ‘ecstatic’ that he’s found guilty is appropriate…… I still couldn’t think of using that word in the context of losing my daughter Edited 30 March 2023 by st albans fox 1

I've not been following it but saw a headline this week, he'd claimed to have become reclusive since the accident. The defence lawyers produced his Facebook photo's of a load of foreign holidays. 1

leicsmac Posted 31 March 2023 Posted 31 March 2023 Well, here we go then. All I'll say is that they better have enough to nail him, because it will be disastrous if they don't. I guess we'll find out. 1

I don’t necessarily want to see him in jail - but then again, I don’t hate him to the point of letting him consume me. However, I do hope this puts an end to his 2024 bid so that the Republicans can put up a legit contender, instead of a spoiled man-child

He certainly seems to want to continue to run in 2024, so I guess we'll see what happens. 1

marbles Posted 31 March 2023 Posted 31 March 2023 I’m thinking DeSantis, with Nikki Haley as his running mate He is enough like Trump that he should get their support/votes. He is a career politician, and seems to know which topics to avoid or be noncommittal on (unlike Trump). Plus add in additional Hispanic and women votes, and he could be a threat. Of course, you never know. Trump could continue to prove he’s made of Teflon, and then split the votes with DeSantis, allowing someone else to steal the Republican bid.

I'm still trying to get my head around the idea of someone actually being proud of the majority of a country being ignorant and/or uncaring of matters out of their line of sight both spatially and temporally (if he is actual correct about it, that is). Can anyone give some insight? 1 hour ago, Dunge said: I mostly just wondered whether this was what all the kidz were saying these days. Nah, this is boomer, not zoomer.

FoyleFox Posted 31 March 2023 Posted 31 March 2023 I'm not entirely sure how I'd react if I came home and there was someone asleep in my bed, but I'm certain I wouldn't murder them. It was an age 70+ lady, asleep. I'd like to think I'd assume they were ill and confused and help. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65129157 2

Even worse was that she still alive for a while but he didn't get her any help at all. Very callous and cold blooded.
