What, wait they were doing a mock trial? Holy fucking shit.

They can't do it for real, so they just make it up entirely! Holy. Fucking. Shit.

The depths of them making shit up is just unbelievable.

“The people in this story are real. Their stories have been altered for the purpose of dramatization.”

Apparently a billion dollar lawsuit judgment taught them nothing.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 1 year ago

It taught them that pulling this shit has a specific price tag attached so they can budget accordingly.

Uh I think this was an episode of Arrested Development...

Methinks an attic I shall seek.

Just real shoddy narrating. Pure crap.

That’s the heart of the problem. They’re jealous that the most clever politically-charged sitcoms tend to be written by left-leaning writers. They could legally make a parody of the case. They’d need smarter writers, and they’re too quick to turn them into lawyers.

That's what Fox gets for hiring Barry as their corporate lawyer.

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Barry was far from the best.

If this ends with Donald taking to the sea in a boat piloted by Eric, but Malonia staying in America because they can't try a husband and wife for the same crime, I would be reasonably satisfied.

The Trial of Hunter Biden('s Penis) - In this 6 part miniseries we'll be lending our usual journalistic excellence to uncovering the throbbing truth...

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven't seen the pictures but wouldn't it be more like an 8 or 9 part miniseries? I heard he was packin

It's difficult to really know given the scope and girth of the investigation.
