Au contraire. Actually having a wonderful time today relaxing at my beach house. Things are looking up for Heels’ bb team and UNC just hired GOAT Belichick!
I posted this Tytler Cycle illustration a while back, but to your point, it's relevant:
So I'd like to clarify something...you purport to be an attorney at a prominent law firm. Yet, you espouse settlement agreements as "saying" something? Have you never in your career had a client pay a settlement to simply make something go away rather than fight what would ultimately prove to be a likely winning argument?
My understanding is this happens all the time as it is cheaper to settle than to go to court, fight, and win.
Think of all the terrible, ineffective, unethical, morally bereft lawyers you’ve encountered in your life and Ramrouser will be much easier to understand.
Whenever I see the ambulance chasing attorneys on TV, I think someone had to be last in their class.
It's nothing to do with schooling, and ambulance chasers at least nominally work to help someone who has been wronged.
I believe that is a mistake which is made by many Democrats. Trump had the biggest gains among people of color for a Republican president in decades. It's basically. That is not the results of mega just blindly voting Republican.
It's not a mistake to say that many of Trump's followers show many of the classic traits of a cult. And while Trump made gains among minorities, the vast majority of his votes still come from white, Evangelical, very socially and culturally conservative rural and suburban people.
After all the votes were in, just how large were those gains? While you're checking, see what the movement with white college educated people was. Neither might not show what the first returns did but they seem like they canceled each other out to an extent.
Yes but 15M + attorney’s fees + public apology is not a nuisance value settlement. ABC’s attorneys knew their client faced major exposure for George’s defamatory statement; hence, the substantial settlement.
"Substantial settlement" JFC
15M is a rounding error to ABC and its parent company, Disney, which brings in nearly $100B a year.
That's exactly what it is to ABC. That would be like me settling a case out of court for 50 dollars.
There is definitely a cult following among some Trump supporters. You can usually spot them with their ridiculous flags and hats. However, I think a significant portion of the Democratic Party, and I'm stealing a term from silence of the lambs, wants to paint anyone who voted for Trump as a rube.
Damaging it for whom? The Trumpista morons who already don't trust mainstream media? Big fucking deal.
Polls show that a large number are the most poorly informed and educated. A large segment of the rest are deluded by religion. Many of the rest are the hucksters that prey on those groups. They're there for the same reason Willy Sutton robbed banks. "That's where the money is." It's less that we think they are rubes and more that they are uncomfortable with reality. Apparently they're the majority of the voters currently. Imo, and I doubt many will disagree, I don't want to appeal to the unthinking. I'd rather educate them than con them. After all, it looks like education is the Republicans' worst enemy.
It’s what actual lawfare looks like.
