True. Job and financial security are very present. My dad worked for the same company for 45 years. That was the rule in his generation. Seems very much the exception now.

Hey, guys; just for your information, the monthly chart for wrlgf doesn’t look very promising right now.

The Lassonde Curve might apply to this stock currently

Not concerned until it becomes factual. It isn’t yet but Trump has been vocal about using The Active Military against the citizens. The Federal Statute has existed for a long time that politicians cannot buy votes. What is currently “legal” is the wealthy and Corporations being able to buy the votes of politicians through Citizen’s United (5 conservative votes vs 4 liberal Justices). That is why we are in a mess with all these false narratives to distract the voter from truth.

Good one…..

Those are individual actors responsible for investigative matters. Although they were in key supervisory positions, the investigations have to stand on their own merit before Grand Juries which are working on probable cause (knowing if they vote on indictment, the prosecuting attorneys have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt). If they feel the case is weak they can “ no bill” it or send it back for more investigation. If they “true bill” it, it is assigned to Judge and both sides are allowed to submit Motions on various issues or evidence that may be disputed and will be dealt with “pretrial”. If a Judge makes a legal error it can be disputed. If an indictment is in error, it can be dismissed and returned to Grand Jury. If evidence is suppressed, it can’t be used at trial. Jurors are selected for the pool by established procedures that are established by rules normally set state wide for random selection from eligible voters like citizenship and residency. During Jury selection, neither side can eliminate a juror for race, religion, age, education etc without a specific reason which post selection or elimination can be challenged by either side and the Court can restore the person to the jury before trial. Abuse can result in a new pool of jurors and sanction to the attorney and a new jury selected. Once a Jury is empaneled and sworn then the defendant can at the end of the Prosecutors presentation of evidence ask for a Directed Verdict for the State’s failure to prove a prima facia case. The Judge must grant or deny. At the end of the evidence, the Judge charges on the applicable law. The jury goes to the jury room and takes all the evidence and see if it fits the charge/s under the law. They must reach a unanimous verdict as to guilt or not guilty … anything less is a mistrial and the process starts over from the point of indictment. If any one messes with the jury or tries to influence a jury, they can be charged criminally. If a juror is influenced by someone like a bribe or other person other than the court and attorneys during the trial process, like Court Security, a janitor or someone’s mother than failure to report it could result in criminal action against all. The jury process is secret and no one can interfere with the process except the Judge to see if they need to go to lunch or home or need to be charged on the law. The Judge can not comment on the facts of the case or offer opinions. The Judge can clarify the law with examples but not with facts from the current case. The Defendant has a right to appeal everything that happened during trial if found guilty. If found not guilty, the State has no right to appeal. It would be double jeopardy to try the Defendant again on the same charges, based on the same evidence. In some cases there is joint jurisdiction on the same offense like murder is both a Federal and State crime. It is rare for both to try the same case.
With all those controls placed on Trials, it is practically impossible to form a conspiracy among all those independent players with different motivations. It is not impossible for politicians to be bought under Citizens United and vote for legislation favorable to corporations. It is easy for a member of the Supreme Court to take financial favors, not report them and vote favorably for the interested party. It is easy for one party in Congress to not bring bills to the floor or vote in total and block a minority party proposal. All that can be done consistent with large donors not limited through Citizens United. The Department of Justice has Statutory restrictions concerning misconduct concerning evidence, witnesses, exculpatory evidence etc as do Judges other than Justices of the Supreme Court who have no Statutory controls or Rules of Ethics. Law enforcement also has restrictions. The real glitch in the system is Congress who are the Law Makers who can be influenced by contributions and special interest lobbying resulting in “special interest laws or deregulation” and the Supreme Court which has no controls except the expected highest degree of honesty, ethics, morals, unpolitical, non-prejudice, unbiased etc which has proven to misplaced and written standards need to be put in place.
