β€œGet bent” needs to be something the current administration hears so consistently it fills their dreams.

Yes. One of the fancy ones, too, like a purple hull! Or a yellow eye!

Texas has 9 million registered Democrats. Thanks for wishing us harm.

There is.

I also tried to not make demands of organizations that don’t have any authority. I try and make educated comments.

And I’m having a fabulous day, thank you!

Have a friend post a review with the updated hours AND add a photograph of the new hours.

Complaints have to be filed against them in the states that they are licensed. Anyone affected by their actions can do so.

But they have to violate that state’s rules to be disbarred.

So literally you are mad at the people who are actively fighting against Trump. Good work!

The American Bar Assoc is a professional organization but does not license attorneys. That is done by the states.

Conferences have crap for CLE hours these days. (Eight hours of being there for 6.5 hours of CLE? Ick.)

This is a good org with great speakers and it serves a good cause. It may help ease the sting:

The key to good legal writing is clarity. Exceptional clarity persuades. Unclarity sows doubt.

Not key? Originality. Humor. Cleverness. A distinctive voice. Torrents of peripheral legal authority. Demonstrations of opposing counsel’s stupidity and bad faith.

Edit for clarity.

This movie was written heavily influenced by the Long Island hacker culture of the time. See: 2600.

I think it’s a material and substantial change not contemplated in the original contract.

The problem is that people keep caving to Trump and paying him money. He has the absolute incentive to keep filing lawsuits.

Until backbone happens, the lawsuits shall ensue.

Two weeks ago, Paxton's office won a SCOTUS case upholding Texas's law requiring age verification for porn sites.

I would be so happy if his wife caught him because he had to use a credit card to prove he was a big enough boy to watch "un-biblical" videos.

Please, God, let me have this one.

There’s a subreddit of people digging through county commissioner meeting transcripts and showing when decisions were made. I think it’s worth a read.

I have not verified this information myself, but some of it has also appeared in a Chron news article today.

I have been brutalizing people for making this event - which even if the weather service had not been disabled likely unavoidable due to the speed of the water wall - into a punishment.

I am deleting and blocking across all social media.

It was BRUTAL for me. That being said, I had shingles 2x in my 40s and I would rather have the shot every month than go through that again!

America has had a long-standing issue with wombats coming to the US and overstaying their visas.

Apparently, they really like our hamburgers.
