That would have been Alito. Also the bible said it’s okay, probably.

Unless she’s your slave concubine, then you’re fine. But you should free your own children.

Also, Sally Hemings was very likely the daughter of John Wayles, Jefferson’s father-in-law. Which makes Sally Hemings the half-sister of Jefferson’s, by then, dead wife.

She was also between 14 and 16 when Jefferson took her as a concubine.

Worth noting that these transcripts detail Trump forcing 12 year olds to act out lesbian sex while he watched, then give him sloppy head. And apparently when the BJ was kinda toothy (cuz, ya know, they’re 12,) he got angry and physical.

But sure, let’s elect him as king of the United States.

Was this case dismissed? Still ongoing? How is there not more on this? This would be prison for anyone else no question.

No, you’re doing it wrong. When someone requests a source, it’s helpful to include a link in your response.

the judge added that the state’s leniency in the case “been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public’s perception of the criminal justice system”.

Mmm. Yes.

Don’t worry, just the stuff about Trump.

It’s a Florida judge after all.

I mean, it’d be funny if DeSantis got pissy about not being the GOP presidential candidate and tried to tank trump in “revenge”
