It is a profession here but never mind keep thinking American.

Go ahead and keep thinking anti-American though. It goes with your plaid.

I was called for jury duty. The defendant and lawyer were both in suits, black defendant, white lawyer. The lawyer asked me "does it prejudice you that the defendant is wearing a suit?" I replied "I thought you were the defendant". Even the judge laughed, and I was excused.
That's a good one!
When folks talk about how to get out of jury duty, I tell them to find an opportune moment during voire dire to tell the defense counsel that if the police arrested someone they must be guilty. You'll be on your way home before lunch.

21 years ago, Mrs Joe got a summons for jury duty & called and asked if they could accommodate a breastfeeding mom with a 6 month old. They said no, give us a note from your pediatrician, we'll flag your record and you're excused. She did, and hasn't been called since.
I've been called 3 or 4 times since then. We're wondering if they ever updated her record.

Likely not, but it just gets weirder and weirder, to have that feeding before the court. Especially once the young-un passed puberty.
I've been called. It sucks and I hope I don't ever get called again.

Yeah, but they make those movies for us slobs. In the real world you want your lawyer to look the part.

I just had to fill my jury duty form. I'm sending it in on monday. It's just a common form they send to everybody, it's my second one and I haven't been called in once.

I sat on one jury, I figure I did my time. Armed robbery, we convicted him. Only thing he had to say was "wasn't me, must of been somebody what look like me". His momma testified that he was a good boy. The clerk knew him, the customer in the store knew him, and he was on video the whole time.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

"The failing @nytimes writes total fiction. They have gotten it wrong for two years, and now are making up stories & sources. Sad."
I see 'the failing New York Times' is saying the deputy Attorney General has been rather critical of the President.

Well, he does deny it.
“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” he said in a statement. “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
Bet they got Omarosa to do it.

The love for the dems is hilarious. It always sounds the same when the reps are in power, then when it's the dems putting children in cages, or defending rapists (didn't Hillary defend Bill, so she could use his political contacts?) then the chattering monkeys seem to damp down their criticism of those in power.

Criticism of the Republicans isn't predicated on loving the Democrats. The US really only has one party, the property party - it just happens to have two right wings: Democratic and Republican.
