Friday's Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Donald Trump was found guilty in a New York City court of 34 charges with each charge having a penalty of up to 4 years in prison. I don’t think I ever saw a case more likely to be overturned on appeal before in my life… Meanwhile the Louisville police dropped all charges against Scottie Scheffler after video was released supporting Scheffler's side of the story while the arresting police officer had turned off his body camera against regulations. If I were an attorney in Louisville who had clients with any guilty charges from this officer where there were no supporting video - I would immediately file an appeal. Then I would send the officer a Thank You card for all the billable hours... Vivek Ramaswamy acquired 8.4% of BuzzFeed's stock which is currently down roughly 90% from its high. Ramaswamy is now the second largest stakeholder of BuzzFeed stock and has not only proposed some changes but is also poised to take over the company. Hey it worked for Elon Musk... In response to Trump’s guilty verdict in NYC many people rushed to Trump’s political donation web address and the response was so overwhelming that the site crashed. Many people who never voted for a Republican before in their life will now vote for Trump in November… Every moment in history happens only once. Unless, of course, we are living in a simulation  and the simulation can be run again and again... Is this satire or real? Jesus was also found guilty in court... Two questions I'd love to see answered; who at Disney ordered the firing of Gina Carano and how much could you have made if you shorted Disney stock the day she was fired from the company?... Can only imagine what Trump’s guilty verdict has done for tourism in New York. I know I will be avoiding that state, especially NYC, like the plague and imagine many feel the same… Both Celtics Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown were taken 3rd in the NBA draft. The 76ers had the first pick in both drafts. Thanks Philadelphia!... This is a good idea... The Miami Dolphins just gave Jalen Waddle a new 3-year $84.75 million contract. Can attest first hand that Waddle's jersey is one of the most popular of the home crowd at Hard Rock Stadium. Can also attest that Patriot's rookie CB Christian Gonzalez held Waddle to 1 reception and 15 yards when they played. That's another reason why I'm kind of high on New England this season...
