Lutnick is stupid. Many rich people keep excellent track of their money. PS: His description of a "fraudster" is Trump exactly.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Stop using the word" "extremism." Call it what is is. A COUP. Autocratic takeover. Your language is mushy. Get a grip and get in the fight.

Well, ok, but you don't learn HOW to think without some strong ideas to think ABOUT, and many college students haven't learned the basics about US government. I've got students who think that if the President is a Christian, then the US is "a Christian country."

Even if we discount the alcoholism and sexual assault charges, he is not qualified for a job of this magnitude.
