    Running hot
    Running cold
    I was running and getting old
    It was extreme

    I took it so high so low so long
    There was no where to go
    like a bad dream
    Somehow the wires got crossed
    The tables were turned

    Never believe I have a lesson to learn
    I'm feeling bad from my head to my shoe
    Know where I am going and don't know what to do
    You've got to accept my point of view

    I've got a Q attitude
    He's in control
    My qualms are few
    'Cause I got hate like I never knew
    Coup coup coup coup
    I've got a Q attitude

    I am wearing a baggy suit new red hat
    Bad old ideas
    As a matter of fact
    Old ways gone for good
    Must have been the cold nights stuck on zoom
    Right changes
    Or forget your law for just being like I should

    Your "I worry" wasn't about Trump. Do try to keep up.

    Are you claiming to read my mind now? I said I worry about one rogue juror per panel. And I was thinking that Trump can make that kind of imprint.
    All it takes is one nut job on a panel of 12 to acquit or hang. Trump inspires such crazed loyalty among a small but sufficient portion of his klan that a not-insignificant portion of juries could have one rogue member. He's the cause of it. No other politician in recent American history has inspired the depth of devotion among the craziest of the crazy. He inspired hundreds of people -- perhaps thousands -- to travel great distances and break into the U.S. Capitol. Some of them were armed. Pretty obviously a big deal, but they did it. They shuttered the rational parts of their minds that might have told them to back off and not risk conviction.

    I am not discounting the possibility of a rogue juror in a Trump trial when I say this, but the psychological dynamics of being part of a mob and of being a holdout juror, particularly one who rejects all arguments of 11 other jurors, are completely different. The former is a lot easier to do than the latter. It'd take a very strong personality, the kind very likely to be identified and rejected by the prosecution and/or judge.
