Ah. So this I can help with. Lawyers wear two hats. We are counselors and advocates. Most often, weāre just depicted as advocates. As a result, in conversations like this, people see us explaining how things work, and think weāre saying itās how things should work.

Air traffic controllers warn of 'tipping point' as U.S. government shutdown drags on
The government shutdown is taking a growing toll on air traffic controllers who are working without pay. Staffing shortages led to big delays over the weekend, raising concerns about travel chaos.

Dick Cheney introduced the term waterboarding into the lexicon and if he doesn't seem so bad now it's only because the current vice president is such a terrible person.

I'm sure Chris Pyne sincerely acted in Australia's interest, but these things never look good. I feel that we should always regard these situations as *potentially* corrupt, and open criminal investigations into politicians who take jobs as lobbyists, "pour discourager les autres."

If anything it shows that Mamdani convinced them that he's not much of an anti-Zionist or, more likely IMO, they feel he has an acceptably nuanced view about Israel. The anecdote quoted below worth reading in that regard:
