"Don't you think Trump looks tired?"

To paraphrase for this specific situation. When the Doctor says to Alex, "Don't you think she (Harriet) looks tired." It's planting the seed in Alex to question if Harriet is fit to continue being Prime Minister, or if she is 'too tired'. These 6 words spoken to Alex, Harriet's Sr. aide, inevitably leads to Harriet's downfall

Honestly the best idea a trump lawyer has had in many years.

“We’re doing to inject you with what we’re calling a ‘genius enhancement serum’; it will fortify your already throbbing genius cells and keep you sharp as a tack, ensuring your every response is virtually perfect for your defence in this trial.”

I'm cheering for the big macs

I read your comment and wondered what Provigil was. Modafinil. I guess I should not be surprised they were all on uppers and downers.

You're not really required by law to 'pay attention' unless you're being asked a direct question. Though, I'm sure judges look poorly on such things.

I remember Harvey Weinstein doing the same thing before he got sent to Rikers. :)

Not if you are not required to participate in that part and not causing a disturbance in the court.

This is a jury trial, and jurors are watching. Even during selection. If you don't care enough to stay awake, it's not a good impression.

Probably wouldn't fly. This happens more than you'd think. Court room procedures aren't as riveting as tv would lead us to believe.

Joe Biden has led the most progressive Administration in the nation’s history, investing in social justice, environmental programs, curtailing abuses by corporations and predatory institutions, stood with workers (both on the picket line and in the halls of government), developed initiatives and instituted policies to combat racial injustice, staved off a nuclear power’s assault on a weaker neighbor, overseen the largest growth in real wages in over a half century, passed keystone legislation which committed the largest investment ever into green policies and programs while also committing the largest investment ever into revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure, put more federal judges on the bench in his first term than the last two presidents combined, weathered the highest levels of inflation in generations so well that US fared markedly better than peer nations, guided the economy through that inflationary period without the need for a Volcker Shock, expanded trans rights in every corner of the federal government, oversaw the largest reduction in childhood poverty in the nation’s history, reduced pharmaceutical prices for Medicare users by over 20% on average and brought the cost of insulin down to less than $30, and that’s just off the top of my head.

It’s trendy for the terminally online to knock Biden, but he’s gotten more done in three years than any President in recent history has in eight. I’m not ceding this ground to low-information voters like the commenters here seem to perpetually be. I’m excited to vote for the President who has achieved more leftist goals in three years than any other American elected official has over their entire career.

s it always been this bad in US presidential elections?

Nope. I've been following politics since Nixon and Biden is the best president we've had in the last 50 years.

The problem is the first past the post system which heavily encourages a two-party outcome. A ranked choice system would drastically improve the chances of new candidates or parties to emerge with meaningful results.

But since that hurts the current holders of power, it's pretty unlikely to be enacted anytime soon.
