Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Its like 75% of the population was just waiting to have their assholes gaped. I thought we hated kings and tyrants? What the FUCK!

I hate to encounter people, friends, even family members that say things like "idk, at least Trump is doing something", "Obama also deported lots of people".

Everyone is playing along with this grifting, obviously criminal mob, that is destroying decades of infrastructure.

They are enriching themselves AND destroying the infrastructure of the normal man.

When they leave, there will be no means to govern anymore. They will leave when there's no money to be taken anymore. Our money, our future.

They know climate change will fuck things up. When shit hits the fan, we will all perish to the force of nature, while these fuckers are somewhere safe.

Reminds me somehow of the black plague.

They dont have the foresight for that. Midway through the year when they resume their market manipulation they're going to fuck around too hard and break it. Theres too many of them pulling in different directions, the facade that the right is a unified front is dwindling at the top. Every one of these grimlins just wants their pound of flesh in their way and that will be their downfall. It will consume our final years to act on climate change, they just won't be safe either. And we all lose.

Turns out there was a reason people have hated lawyers for most of modern history... Ambulance chasers were fine collecting their sky-high fees during a functioning democracy... then bend over for a wannabe dictator. Pathetic.

Hope the business of each and every one of them fails sooner rather than later.

The "lawyer" that would make a "business" decision over a legal decision is a "lawyer" that is no longer worthy of their bar admission.
