Trump really likes to hire chihuahuas for lawyers.

Off topic but I immediately distrust anyone that wears a crucifix so prominently especially one made with precious metals and stones.

It’s like a dog whistle to their perceived moral superiority. I like it though because I know to avoid them.

more importantly the hypocrisy of it. Even in my Christian days I had a hard time understanding why crosses were always good and silver. You'd think wood crosses be the only acceptable symbol

I feel a cheap metal also works, but it should be unassuming. I also feel like they should be wearing it under their shirts not openly. "Do not pray as the hypocrites" and whatnot.

Well perhaps not "hiding " it, but yea, less outward displays of dogmatic purity would make more sense overall. Christianity's primary selling point is that the least of us are the most deserving of compassion.

I know this is pedantic, but that's a cross, not a crucifix. The difference is that a crucifix has jesus on it.

I only mention this because I was hoping to see a bedazzled jesus corpse and was super disappointed.

Maga lacks the sheer catholic drip to try that.

I bet MAGA crucifixes would sell well, just use the tackiest gold spray paint you can find

I’d say, like chihuahuas, they’re cute from a distance but up close they are just nasty.

Well the metaphor breaks down almost immediately because Chihuahuas are badass mothafuckaz. They're like having a concealed carry.

trump's lawyers though are culled from the dregs of the washout, fame-seeking, braindead, dipshit sludge that surrounds him where they prance in and are unceremoniously farted on and dragged out again.

I'll have to take your word. That photo above sure ain't it.

So we have a person that intentionally files frivolous lawsuits against people to harass and bully them as President, who controls the justice department and is now having the DOJ file frivolous criminal complaints against people to harass and bully them. Not a good thing for a healthy society.

if only we had known . . somehow.

Make it a percent of his net worth at the time the fine is paid. He takes a million in bribes before his morning diaper change

Disbar her

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 278d

But she's not black. You can see how their hands are tied.

VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 277d

It's been threatened before. I just wish it would happen already. Surely there have been enough complaints about this woman at this point.

She fits every piece of criteria for disbarment too, not that we care about half of it of the most time, but it's rare that you have someone who is this awful in every regard.

salacious_coaster@infosec.pub · 13 pts · 278d

I have yet to see a photo of this woman that doesn't look like she's asking for a manager.

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 278d

I like how unhappy Habba looks in that picture, and I wish her much unhappiness in the future.

Eh a bit more, it means he's a loser and he hates being called a loser because of the way he was raised.

Court orders tax payers on the hook for criminal administration.
