  1. I can’t think of a better example of a profession in crisis than a licensed member of the Federal bar asking a salesman how to conduct fact finding.
  2. Evolution of a profession in crisis: 2002-2005: John Yoo, Alberto Gonzales and others write secret memos outlining that torture is permissible (and not actually really torture) because reasons. 2020: Cleta Mitchell and others orchestrate plan to defraud courts in pursuit of illegally overturning a free and fair election. 2024- ? : Pam Bondi and her successors write public opinions outlining that the language of the constitution should not be interpreted to limit this president and his designated successors, and that no reason or justification is needed to permit his or their actions. @TwiceHorn weighs in that these opinions are “dubious,” but that the constitution “doesn’t have a lot to say about accepting jets,” and at any rate lawyers aren’t in the midst of an ethical crisis that doesn’t also apply to carpet installers and independent Scentsy consultants.

  4. Jesus, can you imagine having to read all that shit?
  5. Like anyone could even know that
  6. Trash
  7. No, but normies are the ones questioning vaccines. Our baseball team is apparently struggling in part because like half the team has had the flu in the last week. Can we honestly say that most of the team got flu shots? We literally pay those boys to stay healthy.
  8. Somebody else even had the bright idea to get down right by my face and start shushing and telling me to calm down. It was like experiencing an alien abduction except there was no colonoscopy and one of the aliens was a bitchy nurse.
  9. I’m honestly not sure what is the greater threat- that RFK damages public health through mismanagement and undermining confidence in vaccines, or that he discredits a bunch of good ideas about diet about reforming healthcare and public health more generally. Either way, I think he’ll wind up doing both.
  10. Anathesiologists crack me up. They come in before the procedure and they are like “chillax, broseph, we’re going to take good care of you. You’re just going to take a little nap when I count down so my man Dr Bob here can do this thing and when you wake up that bad appendix will be gone and you’ll have a cool story to tell the honeys. 5-4-3-” then, when you suddenly find yourself wide awake and completely disoriented, paralyzed on an operating table, staring into lights with a tube down your throat, you hear the same voice say “oh shit, sorry … hold on a second, fuck-“ and then you wake up the second time, in recovery. Cool cool story bro!
  11. You voted for Donald Trump. three times.
  12. Well in any event I’m going to celebrate today by having eating samosa chaat with seekh kebab and a dosa. for peace

  14. Can I go practice law, in that case? To be honest I am shocked by the sentence quoted above. Need I remind you that you are not the population at large? Need I remind you that your learned profession has high barriers to entry, in part to ensure a high standards? And while you claim that law is no worse than the population, the crisis is not at work among CPAs or broadly among other licensed or chartered professionals. If only lawyers had some special and specific ethical obligations or “Rules of Professional Conduct” that were unique to the practice of law that were specifically relevant to the statement above. Such as:
  15. I really do appreciate your contributions, but you don’t even think the legal profession is in the midst of an ethical crisis.
  16. I think we can safely assume that former mayor Tom Leppert speaks for the establishment and business community of Dallas and North Texas, whose support is required for a new stadium or anything else. The last line is the kill shot. off the top rope!
  17. If it undermines the rule of law and empowers the executive branch to act with impunity, that impacts about 340mm people in the US, and another ~7.6B less directly. If it empowers the president to unilaterally imprison, deport and attaint, that’s a huge problem. The number of deportations is more or less irrelevant to the magnitude of the threat. .
  18. Sorry, this is normalcy bias talking. This is a fire on the bottom floors of the building we live in. It just feels like hyperbole to you because we are on the upper floors, and you are guessing that somebody will put it out before it gets up where you are. So you are looking at all the people scurrying around and the chaos below, and it looks like they are overreacting. The fact is that this emergency has not impacted the lives of people in our socioeconomic strata does not make it less of an emergency. And if it’s heading our way. Whether or not it gets to us depends.
  19. Who gets axed first? Bessent or Navarro?
  20. Come on wtf Wordle 1,420 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  21. Gosh, regular Americans haven’t learned this much this fast about basic economics since late 2008, and that turned out OK, right?
