    I was thinking about reviving this thread yesterday when I saw this story.

    What an idiot. I laughed so hard, though. You have to imagine that much of his self-image is wrapped up in how many twitter followers he has and the fawning he got from the world's knuckleheads with his tweets. And then he gets kicked off of twitter. It is just too perfect.

    I clicked on this to see what job he was getting in the new administration. I figured FDA honcho.

    I'd wager he was on the short list, judging by the other appointments.

    The stories on this yesterday were hysterical. They went through 134 potential jurors.

    . ...

    Another man just didn’t like the looks of him. “He kind of looks like a dick,” the man said.

    “I looked right at him, and in my head, I said, ‘That’s a snake’ — not knowing who he was,” said one woman.

    “The defendant is the face of corporate greed in America,” one potential juror said during a sidebar, out of earshot of an oblivious-looking Shkreli, who spent the proceeding looking bored and sucking on his pen.

    “I find him truly disgusting,” one woman said, on the brink of tears. “My uncle has AIDS, and I couldn’t be impartial because of that.”

    More good stuff today. His lawyer asked for a mistrial and was denied.
