Dangerous misinformation

Yo!! Please do some research before you spread trash about the NY trial. If you don’t know what was said or what happened don’t comment! That seems elementary! How can you talk about the judge clearing the court when you don’t know exactly what happened? The transcripts are all out there and lots of careful folks have been sitting in the room tweeting everything out — what’s the matter with you two? Too lazy to do some basic research before you sit down to mouth off?

Repeating ads

Three, long, repeated Noom ads in one episode? That’s ridiculous. Otherwise, valuable legal analysis.
