I was inexact. When I work with attorneys, they are internal or with clients. You zoom/phone to get on the same page, then start exchanging emails. You verbally have the conversation about me walking around with my dick out. THEN you have the email exchange. I represent a lot of clients as a lobbyist. We call first. Then maybe have a follow up with counsel. Then exchange emails about next steps. Do not fucking email me about how the government is fucking you. Call me, let’s dicuss, maybe point me at a few online sites that can be googled easily. Then you can send me an email to discuss your concerns about how draft policies could have unintended consequences affecting every day Americans. The whole point is discovery should a very boring, truthful, And anodyne record. Because that’s what happened.

As somebody who works with a lot of attorneys, I remain shocked at what people still put anything important in email. The number of emails I get a day that are just "Hey, I need to bring you up to speed on something, can we do a call?" is somewher around 5-6. You should NEVER email anything vaguely important.

I believe a shutdown should be a shutdown. All spice stops flowing. No bullets to troops. Bases go dark. Courts close. No employees of any kind are allowed to work except elected officials. The creeping expansion of "essential" employees and work is bullshit. If Congress and the President don't want to do their job, fine, but the country should feel the effects, full stop.

As an aside, my son and I developed this theory that the Fantastic Four can never really make a good live action movie, because the dick jokes about Mr. Fantastic are so obvious and distracting that it overwhelms the story. It's why gender swapping Mr. Fantastic to Elastigirl in the Incredibles was so necessary to make a successful movie (plus Edna Mode is maybe the best animated character of all time. "NO CAPES").

Hmm, that sounds suspiciously like a rent controlled apartment.

Jesus Christ, if you are going to get an 8 ball, at least be a bro and cut your boys a few lines. -

Nothing says you won a political fight than a bunch of big brain think pieces about how you obviously won despite everyone saying you lost. -
