I read that earlier. Juror was literally at the BLM rally in DC wearing a shirt that said  “ Get your knee off our necks”. And lied about it on his juror form. It would be a gross abuse of justice if he didn’t get a new trial after the judge’s refusal to sequester from the start, the comments of all those who opined in official capacity, to the attention on the topic as a nation we had, to clear bias by a member of the jury. Chauvin will never be found not guilty, nor should he be. But just as him facing trial for Floyd was very important to our rule of law, so is Chauvin’s right to an impartial jury. I’d like to hear how those who disagree, and don’t believe the impartiality of the jury was affected come to that conclusion with this latest evidence.

I wasn’t a member of the jury, so my knowledge is dick, but having watched every second of video, I didn’t understand how the murder 2 charge stuck. Any judge will recognize the burden of proof to overcome a reasonable doubt of the murder 2 charge and contrast that with the clear bias of the jury.

I was on a jury 2 years ago, and I got us all dismissed because the juror next to me commented “I can tell if a person is guilty by the look in their eyes” during pretrial arrangements. I immediately told the judge, and he dismissed the entire jury pool because of it. Knowing that standard, and knowing a member of the jury openly protested against Chauvin before the trial, I don’t see how it ends any other way.

I don't understand all the doom and gloom.  Of course I don't agree with everything the Biden admin is doing, but it's largely business as usual.  He doesn't have the votes to implement the wacky shit the progressives want, and members of his own party have stood firm in opposing a massive power grab.  Kudos to Manchin, Sinema and Kelly. 

No court packing, no removing the filibuster, and no using reconciliation to bypass rules that have been implemented for over a century.  Maybe they can work together on the much needed infrastructure plan.  Maybe they can work on immigration.  It's all but assured the GOP will reclaim Congress in 20 months with historical precedent and the political landscape.  I'd much rather the hyper partisanship nonsense end, and the moderates in both party's working together to find middle ground solutions to our problems.  We saw both sides be completes asses and hypocrites during Obama and Trump.  Maybe it's time for our legislature to do their damn jobs and ignore the mouth breathers on twitter and network media.

For four years, we were informed by our establishment media that President Donald Trump’s behavior was “not normal.” The abnormality of Mr. Trump’s behavior became a near rallying cry for the self-appointed heroes of journalism, who spent every waking hour poring over his bizarre tweets and his bloviating self-absorption. The media dedicated themselves to preventing Mr. Trump’s supposed normalization.

Now, the media inform us, we have been graced by the most-normal normal person to have ever normalled: President Joe Biden. Mr. Biden, they proclaim, is utterly boring, nondescript, barely worthy of coverage. His administration, too, is paradigmatically normal. Yascha Mounk of The Atlantic tweets, “It is so nice to have a boring President.” Alleged media watchdog Brian Stelter asked this week whether Mr. Biden is “making the news boring again,” adding, “The Biden White House is clearly a break from the chaos and incompetence of Trump world.”

For his part, Mr. Biden obviously revels in this sort of coverage. This week, his favorite ice cream flavor (chocolate chip) was tweeted out as well as a retweet of first lady Jill Biden’s announcement that Champ and Major, the new first pets, had entered the White House.

On a personal level, Mr. Biden is clearly more “normal” than Mr. Trump — although treating Mr. Biden, a career politician worth nearly $10 million, as the height of normality is rather stunning. The goal for the establishment media isn’t to point out merely that Mr. Biden is a sort of American Everyman. It’s to use that supposed normalcy to disguise the fact that his agenda is absolutely abnormal.

The dirty little secret of the Trump administration is that despite Mr. Trump’s personal abnormality, his agenda was well in line with past precedent, and with mainstream American opinions on everything from taxes to military policy. Mr. Trump did not radically shift American policy. Mr. Biden will.

Within the first five days of his presidency, he issued 30 executive orders, compared with four for Mr. Trump, five for Barack Obama and zero for George W. Bush. Those executive orders included endorsement of radical reinterpretation of American history; killing the Keystone XL pipeline, along with its attendant estimated 11,000 American jobs; forcing the military to allow troops to undergo gender reassignment surgery; and forcing federally funded institutions to allow biological men who identify as transgender to compete alongside biological women, among others. He is reportedly pursuing an immigration plan directed toward reopening America’s borders. He has staffed his Cabinet by intersectional box-checking.

Mr. Biden’s policy is indeed radical. But because Mr. Biden is presented as a normal person, we’re supposed to ignore all of that. We’re supposed to simply be grateful for the “return to normalcy” — complete with caving to the teachers unions that seek to keep schools closed indeterminately, reentering a long-dead deal with the Iranian theocracy, firing government staffers with whom he disagrees and lying openly about the vaccine distribution plan he inherited.

Meanwhile, our media pat themselves on the back. It’s rare to see a profession declare itself irrelevant, but that’s what many in the media are doing these days. According to Stelter, it’s “refreshing” that Mr. Biden’s team promises accountability and transparency. According to Margaret Sullivan of The Washington Post, the media must learn their lesson from the Trump era and cover Democrats more sycophantically.

Joe Biden may be a relatively normal guy. But none of this is normal. And pretending it is represents just another way for the media to reject legitimate criticisms of an administration seeking radicalism right off the bat.
