And the polling from *last week* is showing that Collins is, very predictably, reeling reelection in. Gotta move on and gotta do whatever needs to happen fast.

This is particularly risible in phrasing, sure, but I need a lot of folks to realize how much like this they've been sounding to a whole lot of people.

What I'm saying is there were a group of people who were right about this guy and a group of people who were wrong, and I'm frankly pretty proud we kept speaking up when the wrong people were *desperate* for us to shut up.

Everybody with an ounce of life experience knew this was coming. If you didn't, acknowledge what you just learned about your own blindspots. Pieces of shit don't stop.being pieces of ahir, and they are pieces of shit in most to all corners of their lives. More is coming. Push him out now.

He's right avout the consequences and the benefits. But many law firms also how no idea what makes a good partner, and get guided by some hilariously foolish criteria. I had people tell 26 year old me to my face I didn't belong in this business, I'd destroyed my career before it began, etc.

I'm a law partner, I was a damn good ballplayer, my poetry isn't bad, and I have been on *so* many dates. Too many. I'd make a quip about how what he brings to the table doesn't seem so great, but there will always be starfuckers like Nuzzi, so, wth.

Take it from a guy who knows how fighters make money and sell fights: Giving the UFC guy notoriety for the shit he talked on the mic is going to make him rich. Roll your eyes and move on. The more you invest yourself in him, even if its in his inevitable downfall, the more he wins in the end.

I've fought outside in 100 degree heat. The bigger guys are gonna be in some real difficulty if their bouts don't end with the quickness. There are some tricks that help, but they don't help long.

My favorite part about sports comebacks is watching them become self-sustaining. It's not just the Knicks heating up, though they are, and are moving the ball very well. Spurs are in active collapse right now. This is when a great coach earns the adjective.

It wasn't just that her oval office mistake was bad optics that made people sour on her, contrary to the histrionics from Resistlib types. It's that it was clearly a really good snapshot of who she was in a way her PR couldn't bleach.

Anybody have a good referral for a North Dakota employment lawyer?

Oh, shit, we're at the mob violence part of a New York team being good already? Feels early.

Okay, well, that's literally as blatant as it gets.

youtu.be/yPI0eleaqvY?... Behold, the manly male being manly.

"Gaslighting", "narcissist", and "boundaries" are terms that have been misused so widely and badly they've functionally changed definitions, good lord.

Yet another PSA that these chats are *discoverable*.

"Are women bourgeois?"

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

As I said on that day the tattoo news, and the stupid excuse offered for it, dropped: More was always coming. A lot more. Shitty weirdos do a lot of shitty weird things.

Pack the court ❤️

I legitimately had no idea there were as many myths about trademark law as there apparently are.

Y'all discover once a month what I see every day. And that's that literally anybody vs. One of my colleagues in an argument is just an utter mismatch.

As a guy who spent most of his teens and twenties kicking the shit, sometimes literally, out of conservative dudes, I am really confident this guy is not one of the tough ones, and neither is Ken Paxton. (Most boxers are Republican, blame John McCain)

...okay, the lesson this is being used to teach is about losing an undefended mark, and that's fair. But another lesson this can teach, bluntly, is that when you insist on picking a fight, a fight often finds you.

And a big reason its escalating is how indecisive and limp-wristed a lot of the judicial response has been (a lot, not all). Some of the judges should look in the mirror.

If I were running for POTUS, a part of my stump would be that my DOJ would not only root out the lawlessness of the Trump DOJ, but that a priority will be to prosecute it, and to work with a Democratic Congress to install guard rails outside of the executive prerogative to ensure it's independence.

This "settlement agreement" would be easy to dismantle and rain fire over. We need to hold the next Dem administration's feet to fire over it. It should be a primary question in early debates, quite frankly. This would be a *very* simple matter of reversing the prior administrations malfeasance.

I heard the Murdaugh conviction got thrown out. Did my research prepared to be furious. SC Supreme Court did the right thing. What an embarrassment. What a travesty.

Talking about the gas tax when regular gas looks certain to go north of 5 bucks a gallon is like talking about Advil after your arm has been chopped off, sorry.

We need to really, really push candidates on wielding power aggressively, now. The map is BAD after 2028. Court packing and bipartisan districting are just non-optional, anymore.

Democratic states need to be preparing to eliminate more R seats in response to the elimination of black seats. Can probably even be a bit aggressive given this midterm environment. Have to go to the mat with the brinksmanship, unfortunately.

"It's all going pretty good, in fact" didn't work for Biden, and the GOP learned nothing from that.

There's gonna be an entire shelf of books about this at B&N in two years. We'll find out what happened then.

I remember when this shit was at best uncommon.

It's my 36th birthday. I still look like I don't drink legally. When do I get some more of this grey. Or facial hair. Its time.

"Having sources" is what actual malice was designed to fall short of 😂

Man, then he should go improve, but spare the country his manifold moral failings. Shit apology, too.

Gross.

This. Going off half-cocked and with insufficient proof is very, very dangerous. Nobody owes anybody the sacrifice of their livelihoods and assets just to try to get a story out faster.

The people who purported to "vet" these scammers are dumbasses. What you'd whip up in a lab if you wanted to invent a mark. If this is a tough pill to swallow, wisen up, its hars enough out there if you actually have common sense, you're playing life on one of its many hard modes.

Call out corruption. Say you're going to punish it. Then literally never shut up about. We can do that.

It's bad to pursue and groom your employees if you're their boss. Really disappointed we forget this as often as we seem to. It's not okay.

Having an experience makes you an expert in *your* experience. Training, education, and exposure to other experiences is the only thing that can make you an expert in *the* experience, not just yours. Assuming that something happening to you makes you an expert is dangerous, often toxic thinking.

Watched his video and yeah...same impact and the C&D.

Read Swalwell's attorney's C&D and, yeah, folks, that's considerable evidence he did that shit.

Watched an episode of thie Couples Therapy show and holy shit, people, if you hate eachother, break up.

Always nice to prepare really hard and then perform like you prepared. Proud of our squad this morning.

...sure feels weird to do anything *but* doomscroll rn, but I have no choice.

I genuinely don't know what use a movement or group could possibly have for a guy like this, but I'm gonna go ahead and recommend its in a silent role.

It is literally basic reality that its a bad idea to throw a punch if you have any real problem getting punched back. That doesnt mean its always right to hit you back! But if you have a problem with the very idea that your potato might launch a receipt, keep your potato in the pantry.
