Same.

I'll watch it to give it a chance! I've heard he's a great showman.

But its not the music I reach for. And that's okay, let the NFL grow their audience and cater to another subset of their fans other than us dudes who either look like they, or literally did, peaked in high school.

If memory serves (and it might not), they did a significant amount of hustling around paid sick leave that moved the needle.

Back in my less injured and deskbound days I was a part of a similar effort that failed. So I have respect for people who take up thar mantle.

That's off memory though.

Also I'm not sure claiming "activist" or "organizer" is gonna move the needle much.

People are gonna politics their way. I say that having a lot of respect for quite a bit of stuff that particular poster has accomplished.

Redeemed from...what? People not liking him and thinking he's annoying?

If anybody is REALLY pushing that and not just fishing for words, that'd be a little ridiculous. Nobody needs to redeemed for bugging you on social media.

I can imagine asking for that. I can't ever imagine agreeing to it, but people do.

Oh, I remember this. I also remember being one of the first times I thought to myself, "oh, that's...unusual and concerning behavior."

Thing is? It has an explanation that while nerdy and *incredibly* cringe and poor taste is orders of magnitude better than how it reads absent context.

You tell me its a character in your famous anime you acted in? I can teach you exactly how to answer that question in a way that doesn't read awful

"Objection, form"
"Objection, asked and answered." *deal with ensuing cross talk about speaking objections*
"Oh my god, I'm having a heart attack!"

All options.

I believe the word I'd use is "lustrous", but, hell, it just comes natural.

Once credibility is lost, its often lost for good.

And it is very, very hard to win a case if the finder of law and/or fact thinks you're a liar. It just is.

They're the two best examiners I've ever seen live and its not particularly close, if I'm being honest.

Not being self-deprecating, and no offense to my other colleagues and the higher end of the opposing counsel I've faced, but they're are levels to everything and they're high level.

Trying to cover up an inconvenient detail can breathe new life and vitality into a weak claim. I've seen it 100 times.

The best practice in litigation is to tell your lawyer everything.

A good rule of thumb? A bad fact is always worse when it comes as a surprise. It never hits harder the first time, either for your attorney or anybody else.

Don't hit them in the gut when they should be defending you.

"What? Er, I mean no, yes, er, yes!"

Suddenly its 2019.

And I look

About the same tbh

Based on the order this seems very much the correct ruling.

I think the latter point is something we forget sometimes in these online bubble spaces. You're gonna get met with blank stares even trying to explain that position to nine out of ten Americans.

More people care about the economy.

That's allowed to make you sad and mad, it does me, but our sadness and anger doesnt make it less true that the economy is the primary salient issue in electoral politics.

So you have to hit him on both

If Tom Homan calls me about one of my staff or associates, the ensuing 3-5 minutes will be among the most enjoyable of my time spent prior to becoming food for maggots.

I actually have a lot of affection for Canton. Been once. One of the more incoherent HoFs in sports. Like a "what if the story of the NFL" if Trump was telling it. It's quirky.

Seriously, a room of your inferiors hating on their better and triggering a media firestorm you're probably indifferent to?

I'd be laughing my ass off.

Impeachment is an atrophied remedy. It happening, at all, to a Trump official would be one of the more signficant political victories in the last 50 years. This happening would be pretty incredible.

They never just tey not to be nakedly and obviously exist, which, honestly, would be the easiest available solution to the problem of behaving in a exist fashion.

But, hell, dudes gonna dude.

Yeah, money aint dispositive. Free initial consultations are privileged, for example.
