As you can decipher from these posts, I did not change my mind about traveling with relatives to Lexington SC to watch a ball game.
I did, however, have some exchanges with my cousin Ashley's husband, Clay, over a difference of opinion about Trump's days in court.
He was kind enough to point out that the trial was a fascistic sham, perpetrated by hateful individuals with political motives. To wit, he said he knows for a fact that the judge should have recused himself because he violated a New York State law prohibiting judges from making political contributions and that Judge Merchan had done this in support of Joe Biden;
He said that Merchan has previously prosecuted cases involving Trump and was, therefore, prejudiced;
He said he knows for a fact that Merchan's daughter is involved in political activities determined to prosecute Trump and that Merchan was legally obligated to recuse himself because of this;
He further said that one of the people testifying had been a DOJ employee and had left to join a legal team prosecuting Trump and was never a supporter of Trump (which was my original contention about those who were witnesses). I changed the wording in my post saying that the most significant witnesses had been Trump supporters.
I suggested that his first two "facts" are more allegations than factual. He declared he learned it all on CNN and could prove they are facts. I suspect Fox News is more likely the culprit of his facts.
I demurred from challenging him.
