Seriously. I know how she clicked the wrong box -- she clicked the wrong box. She made a mistake, the same type of mistake that people commonly make. I would guess that every single person on this board has clicked the wrong box before, and probably multiple times. I know I have. I don't think it requires a mea culpa.

Now, I don't want to project too much, but it's true that deal attorneys have to be hyper-focused on tiny details. The main job of a deal lawyer is to not fuck up. So if you do fuck up, it's like a big deal. I wonder if that's what's happening here.

When I was teaching, I was going through with my class a merger agreement I pulled off the web. We were going through the "Material Adverse Effect" clause, which is a type of clause that is maddeningly frustrating. They usually have like quadruple or quintuple negatives, like "X is a material adverse effect unless it is Y, except that if it is Z, unless it is also not A," etc. In a long paragraph of a laundry list of shit, a word "not" had been omitted. It was a quadruple negative instead of the required quintuple. The result was a complete and utter fuck-up. The error meant that the buyer had basically no obligation to buy, which is the single biggest fuckup a deal lawyer can make (or at least one of them), and it was buried deep in a clause. I notified the partner on the transaction (because the agreement was only days old) and told him. Fortunately for them, the buyer was cool and agreed to amend it, but it was entirely possible that people would have lost their jobs and potentially their careers because of a single missing "not."

Point is, to be a good deal lawyer (which I'm guessing nycfan is), you have to learn to be really hard on yourself over tiny things.

I know many MDs who are not Pubs or MAGAs who hate Trump. Though none are surgeons

My 30 year general practioner is definitely a Dem I would guess 90% of all surgeons I have known are trumpsters
They are the epitome of country club republicans
For years their pay has been very high , compared to say a General Practionier, and they see All things Obamacare as a big threat to that differential
My "educated guess"
 
ElephantManElon just wants us to understand his idiotic weaving and support of Trump he's still a "Man"!
Sort of?
 
“… While far short of majorities, significant shares of Americans accept several false claims made by Trump.

32% say it is true that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

33% believe that "Trump recommended that 10,000 national guard troops be sent to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but Nancy Pelosi turned this suggestion down."

21% believe that "in certain states, it is legal for a doctor to perform an abortion after birth." And 20% believe "immigrants are abducting and eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio."

These assertions divide Trump supporters and that division varies from claim to claim.

75% of Trump supporters believe that Pelosi turned down Trump's request for National Guard troops on January 6, 9% do not, and 16% are unsure.

67% of Trump supporters believe the 2020 election was stolen from him, 12% do not, and 22% are unsure.

Just 36% of Trump supporters believe doctors can perform abortions after birth in certain states, 26% do not, and 38% are unsure.

And just 43% of Trump supporters believe immigrants are abducting and eating dogs and cats in Ohio, while 16% do not, and 40% are unsure.

Kamala Harris' debate win hasn't yet won her new voters, but more like her and see her as qualified | YouGov

Harris was the clear winner of the debate but her narrow lead over Trump in the election was the same after the debate as before it.

All of this supports my contention that human beings - on average - are not very bright. We are gullible and lack the capacity to think critically. It’s worse in America when compared to the rest of the civilized world.
And it’s worse still, within the Maga world.

Think about the statistics mentioned in the comment… all of those Trumpers who believe in the obvious, and verified falsehoods. A solid majority of all Maga republicans are gullible dumbasses who will blindly follow their pied piper over the cliff. And there are a few on this board.

Are there any Cons left on this board? Do tell… Which of those falsehoods above are you in agreement with?
