56. she was my favorite part of this entire saga

She never left him alone. She drove him crazy, as you could see from his facial expressions and verbal remarks. She was having such a great time, swinging that sign around.

I really admire people like that. There's another one, whom we all know about here. He's the gray haired guy who shows up all the time with the big signs about lies. He is remarkably consistent. Always there: spends a lot of time doing this.

This is the kind of thing where one person can have an outsized influence. All one has to do is live in the area and be brazen enough to pull it off.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. In fact, I did do it to Scalia when he spoke at Princeton. I had a huge sign that said "Tony the Fixer Scalia." I stood around under the streetlights with the other protesters, holding up my big sign and Scalia himself was looking out the window at me. I waved it around to be sure he saw it.

Then when everyone exited the speeches, I stood there with my sign so everyone in attendance could see it. Fun stuff.

I took the train to Princeton from Northern NJ and my sign was so big I had trouble getting it on the train. People loved it; they all came over and asked me questions about how I made it and where I was going to use it.

A lot of people around here hate republicans, especially in the more highly educated towns.

There's no report on whether Judge Mehta decided on a date for his sentencing, supposedly because ancianita Sep 2023 #27
The linked article specifically states sentencing will be on January 12. onenote Sep 2023 #28
Why the delay in sentencing? Over FOUR months from now?? niyad Sep 2023 #30
