  1. Sorry to hear about that coach. Missed this about the lawsuit. The attorney is a notorious asshole and drunk that represented Rittenhouse until he was let go. Financial and other impropriety follows him wherever he goes.
  2. https://couriernewsroom.com/news/we-created-a-searchable-database-with-all-20000-files-from-epsteins-estate/
  3. Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts Or, how crooked politicians get rich. https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group
  4. That's an interesting piece. But there's a couple of problems I see with it that may reveal more about Brooks than anything else. The terms "moral" and "morality" are very loaded these days, as is the term "common good." I very much agree that we have overemphasized individuality and lost community in the process. But attempts to "recover" from that often tend to focus on the moralistic rather than the strictly moral. There's a balance in there somewhere.
  5. So, yeah, as a law dog I have ended many letters with this. I can't do it anymore with a straight face. Just sent one off with something else.
  6. "Putting victims first" is so twisted. Just as a general proposition.
  7. Cuz you're doing lots of sinister shit.
  8. Also, some of you whippersnappers may not believe it, but there was a time when it was believed that communicating by email waived attorney-client privilege because there was no expectation of privacy. Therefore, our clients forbade us from emailing them and those in the organization. Sure, emails can be hacked. Phones can also be tapped and mail stolen or read. It's all relatively unlikely. And I think all this Epstein email came straight out of his email account via search warrant. It wasn't hacked.
  9. Well, the owner of BO is only somewhat less of a dickwad than Elmo, so there's that.
  10. Regardless of their actual position, or the concerns of their constituents, being a Republican is easy: Support Trump or do not. If you choose the former, you go along with whatever nonsense he's up to at the moment with no regard for anything else. If you choose the latter, you're likely to get primaried, lose a lot of funding, and probably lose the support of the base in your district or constituency; plus, you're likely to get "Truthed" and given a stupid nickname; and possibly investigated by the DOJ. It's not that easy for Dems.
  11. One of the advantages of emails for attorneys, over phone calls, is that they can put in writing a warning of adverse consequences. It can be a fine line regarding putting that kind of stuff in an email, but protecting yourself from a client who is going to try to say you didn't warn them or advise them can be a paramount consideration.
  12. Game recognize game, yo.
  13. That's very likely true. I'm not even sure Congress really has the power to compel an executive branch agency, like DOJ, to do anything. Yes, they pass the laws that govern the agency and that the agency enforces, but I'm not sure about this kind of thing. It's probably blurry enough to bog the thing down in litigation for 3-4-5 years.
  14. Big props for sucks to your assmar, (Piggy).
  15. Make the sonofabitch deny it. Trump wouldn't be working so hard on the discharge petition if he wasn't deathly afraid of votes in the House, Senate, and his own veto.
  16. Very un-Toyota-like all around.
  17. I suspect Kenvue lodged a complaint with the administration of the use of Tylenol versus the generic name. And probably mentioned that since Trump is the recipient of stupid amounts of license fees over the years, he should appreciate the issue.
  18. A curiosity. Many .gov site do not have a Hatch Act violation at the top of the page. Here's the one from USPTO.gov, which may be a special case because it is self-funded. At present, the USPTO will remain open and fully operational until further notice under operating reserves from the prior year’s fee collections. Labor: Lapse in Appropriations For workplace safety and health, please call 800-321-6742; for mine safety and health, please call 800-746-1553; for Job Corps, please call 800-733-5627 and for Wage and Hour, please call 1-866-487-9243 (1 866-4-US-WAGE).  This website is currently not being updated due to the suspension of Federal government services. The last update to the site was 10/1/2025.  Updates to the site will start again when the Federal government resumes operations. For more information related to the lapse for DOL employees, please visit the DOL Lapse Information Page. Wonder what's up with that.
  19. Whose nomination was withdrawn because he was such an unqualified loon that he couldn't be confirmed even by this assbag Senate.
  20. The fact that there was not a flood of quite these proportions in the not-too-distant past keeps this from being a slam dunk for the plaintiffs. But that fact doesn't help the defendants all that much given the not-quite-as-bad events that still caused death and for which other parties were demonstrably better prepared, including those better prepared for this one despite the lack of public infrastructure. There is still enough wiggle room to make this a close case.
  21. Even if all that happened and it probably did, that's not proof sufficient to indict and convict. He said she said is almost never beyond a reasonable doubt. Child sexual abuse prosecutors are jihadists and in many cases rightfully so. If there was a convictable case, they'd bring it.
  22. It's totally a reasonableness test. But "castle doctrine" and "stand your ground" laws, the latter in particular, make it easier to be unreasonable. With most variations of castle doctrine, you're entitled to use deadly force if you fear unlawful entry or commission of a crime and with stand your ground you have no duty to try to avoid the situation, whereas without them, deadly force was only appropriate in response to perceived deadly force, and avoidance was a consideration in reasonableness.
  23. Im not a plaintiffs attorney. My work gets fucked over on a bipartisan basis, but most recently at the hands of bigtech.
  24. Yeah, that's evidence that they are shook. Trump's base is going to go for him, regardless, and he's going to be able to bullshit over this for them. But he also won't be on the ballot in 2026. However, I still think that the vote that won him 2024 was not the base, but a bunch of people who were convinced their life was not any better in 2024 than it was in 2020. That message should work for Ds this time.
