Imagine getting a chance to say this to Donald Trump's face...

[Tommy Carcetti]

...and knowing he isn't allowed to respond.

Jurors are being much more forthcoming about their feelings about Trump today. The potential juror who doesn't like his "persona" says:

"He's very selfish and self-serving, and I don't really appreciate that in a public servant."

Will that potential juror get sticken? Almost certainly.

Would it be worth it? You better believe it.

1. They are getting their licks in before they get kicked out.

They could have just raised their hand in the beginning and been shown the door.
But they stayed to tell off Trump?

[malaise]

2. Good

😀

[Harker]

8. That exemplifies the spirit of public service. n/t

[Bundbuster]

3. "He's a bloviating narcissistic lying cowardly masochistic egomaniacal genocidal pedophile rapist criminal sociopath"

said potential juror Bundbuster.

[FailureToCommunicate]

10. Yes!

"And FAR TOO MANY nutty fellow citizens seem to adore him" Bundbuster continued.

4. I know what I'd say:

“I have some very strong opinions, but my problem was that I stopped up to see his wife but I was half a buck short and he wouldn’t extend me any credit. The Tiffany guy got credit.”

[RainCaster]

5. I know what I would say

"I have no respect for anyone so insecure that they smear yellow baby shit all over their face."

[Dulcinea]

6. I would take great pleasure

...in telling him to his face that he's nothing but a two-bit crook, a con artist, and a LOSER with a capital L.

[ecstatic]

7. So awesome. I'd definitely speak my mind because I would be removed regardless.

I'm not a white man. I'm from the demographic that trump hates the most. And the feeling is mutual, btw.

I would mention his criminal negligence that caused over a million deaths during covid and his illegal attempts to toss black votes in 2020. And of course the insurrection.

But I would insist that I could be fair. lol.

9. Trouble is the bad people will lie and good ones won't.

I would have said,as a news reporter, I understand how to be impartial. Even if I don't like someone, or didn't vote for them, I still have to be objective in reporting. I've exposed scandals about people I voted for and published evidence exonerating people I didn't vote for, at times in my career. Journalists rely on facts, and that's what would guide me as a juror, regardless of whether I like or dislike a defendant personally.

11. That's why he lashes out at Jimmy Kimmel.

Gag order!!!

[AdamGG]

12. It's a shame this isn't televised

Just the Youtube highlights would be fun to watch.

[soldierant]

13. Of course I have opinions.

I always have had opinions on one thing or another. I have also beenknown to recise my opinions when presented with hard evidence.

(I'll venture a guess that a larger percentage of DUers could honestly say the same, than the percentage would be of a similarly sized group of Republicans.)

[Aussie105]

14. I'd love to be on that jury panel.

I'd put my personal feelings towards Trump on hold just to learn the details of his financial shenanigans.

After the show is over and he gets financially decimated further and locked up, I would be available for press interviews.
Then would be the time to expose my utter disgust for the guy, his enablers and those who voted for him.

[calimary]

20. So would I. And seriously, I would try to be as impartial as possible,

even while knowing full well what my ultimate verdict would be. I'd listen to everything, but I doubt any of it would move me to vote in his favor at the end.

[Emile]

15. She ended up on the jury too.

[Conjuay]

16. It must have pissed him of -

being called a public SERVANT

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. Had I been called for jury duty in NYC, I would have said this....

When asked if I had an opinion on the man....

"While I find Mr. Trump amoral and immoral, lacking in empathy and compassion with no sense of right or wrong, I also believe that every American under indictment for crimes is guaranteed a trial by a jury of one's peers. The 6th Amendment to the US Constitution explains that the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by said jury based on the facts and evidence presented, shall not be infringed. I believe in the Rule of Law."

Perhaps my response would not qualify me to be on this jury, but at least TSF would know how I felt and that the Rule of Law is still what keeps this country from falling apart. His defense lawyers do not want "smart jurors".

[sop]

18. When has Trump ever been a "public servant"?

He thinks everyone should be his adoring servants.

[Trueblue1968]

19. I would have pointed to his hypocracy. Calling women pigs and hes an ugly fat hog

I would say to his face .... He is UGLY!!!!!!!!

[calimary]

21. He's ugly INSIDE AND OUT.

And YIKES - husband and I are finding more info about - um - shall we say donald's personal air pollution in court?
