  1. So, does a guy like that even "practice the law" anymore? I'm relatively certain being chairman or whatever title managing a good-sized law firm is a pretty full-time job, just on the management part alone. Then you add in the influence-seeking and power-brokering, and fuhgeddaboutit. And this seems to be where you get entangled with people like Epstein that can make or destroy a career. Also, hasn't he been chairman or whatever for a long time? AFAIK, most Biglaw rotate these guys in and out for about a year. Then they go back to practicing the law. Also, in litigation law, we know the bigshots try cases periodically, while the more transactional guys sit in boardrooms and give broad strokes advice backed up by the juniors and associates who actually do the work. I've always been in smaller firms where the bigshots, even some of pretty national prominence, spend huge amounts of time on the phone and in meetings dispensing broad strokes advice, but still basically practice the law, even if it's not in the trenches.
  2. So, this TrumpRX site is now live. First off, the name. Christ on a crutch. It offers drugs, through pharmacy and manufacturer coupons or direct sales, at a "discount." A whopping 43 drugs, including the wildly popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs. The only basis for comparison I can find is GLP-1's the prices of which are roughly equivalent to what the manufacturers were already offering on their websites. Also, reduced prices or the best rate only available through the end of April. If anyone sees a drug that is at a significant discount to what's already available, I'd be interested to know. For example, I see Lispro insulin "starting at 25." But I see goodrx coupons for from 31 to 51. But it's hard to apples-to-apples that. Also note that because these are purchased outside insurance, it doesn't contribute to deductible. So, overall, seems like a bullshitty, attention grabbing move that's not really making a dent in the problem or solving anyone's issues in a significant way. And the name, oh sweet Jesus, the name.
  3. Also goes by Immac.
  4. The specter of electoral life without Trump is becoming more real. Their wall of stupid cruelty and racism is crumbling a little bit.
  5. Y'know, I never said she shouldn't be disbarred. I just said it was going to be harder than everyone thought, and then the Bar tripped over its dick. And I explained that.
  6. And I don't get downtown, or even uptown much anymore. I've only been to their North Dallas location, quite some time ago. It appears to be the only location now. https://delinewsdallas.com/contact/ But yeah it was a pretty authentic deli.
  7. One of the reasons they did that was to keep his account from being deleted.
  8. The OG location on Central is more deli-like than the others.
  9. And the reminder not to be a bunch of pigs is a good thing. Oink.
  10. Arrogance. Intellectual arrogance.
  11. I actually contemplated this. I think his text posts are clearly his, maybe sometimes paraphrased from something someone else wrote. His "retruths" or repostings are probably his. He can do that. I have doubts whether he could actually post a video or even a video still. That would require downloading it then uploading it, or copying a link. Also, kind of stupid that they'd claim the video is some Lion King video, because that's not what he posted. He posted a still with black Democrats as monkeys.
  12. Better late than never, I guess. But what the fuck took you so long?
  13. Probably worth noting, though, that it was just two of them. in Minneapolis or another more liberal city in a liberal state, there would have been a half dozen in the house and a half-dozen more outside. What's kind of fascinating to me is that they enter a house, a task that they are not legally entitled to, and also a potentially very dangerous one. And they leave without their ostensible target? Or the guy that "interfered" with them that they tackled?
  14. What promises has Abbott made?
  15. It may be true that she led a sheltered life. And that she saw it as ok because of that, or, for other reasons. Whether she saw it as ok or not, her job is to whitewash that maniac's bullshit and all the other bullshit from the maniacs in the administration. And she damn well knows it.
  16. Well, like Republicans for generations now, some of them are still pretending that policies aren't actually racist but something else. Every time that curtain gets pulled back a little further, they fear it will become undeniable. Of course, for a lot of people that's a feature not a bug. But once the racist policies are finally revealed as undeniably racist, guess what's next? The revelation that the pro-business policies are actually intended to keep the little guy down.
  17. One that slithered through the D-Con in the garage.
  18. "a mistake"
  19. Just to be factual, as I had swallowed this, too. Donald Barr was headmaster at Dalton just before Epstein started working there. He was known for unconventional hires. But there's no actual evidence that he was involved in the Epstein hiring decision. Barr actually retired at the end of the 73-74 academic year, Epsten started during the 74-75 academic year.
  20. And the team photo includes a lot of people in prison, on death row, hanging from Esso station canopies and telephone poles and with their brains blown out in a bunker in Berlin.
  21. I think they know that politicization of UT would wreck its reputation. And that the faculty would openly revolt and leave, making it a big spectacle and hastening the ruination. Which is not to say that Aggy faculty are all true believers, either, but they've already made certain compromises and are less likely to revolt. Aggy is just low-hanging fruit.
