I just LOVE how they make it seem like there was a choice in the matter.

Yeah, no kidding. Like bitch you're not allowed to fucking practice law. You didn't resign from shit, you're banned from your 'job' that you were never qualified for in the first place. And I bet you still had to suck Trump's shriveled, diaper-shit flavored dick

She can't resign from a job she never legally held.

That's like this kind of interaction in a race:

I'm sorry sir, we're disqualifying your car from racing today. It seems to have a jet engine attached to it and we don't know how that got by inspection. But it's not allowed in the rules.

Oh well that's easy to explain, I just didn't take my car by inspection. I just drove it out here and told everyone I'm here to race. It's a race, correct? Well I'm here to race with the best of them.

That doesn't sound like you're an actual participant in this race then. You should not be here and I'll have to ask you to leave.

Leave? Perish the thought. I officially withdraw from this race. scoffs Clearly you are not ready for innovative takes on race car design.

Well it seems you weren't in the race to begin with, but by whatever means, please see your way out.

That is what this whole thing summarized is...

I really wish I had thought of that answer 30 years ago when old people asked me to fix this.

Unplug it for fifteen or more minutes to reset shit, then plug it in at exactly noon or midnight

First thing you need to know is that the machine and thus the task has been obsolete for two whole generationer.

We have slightly higher standards for courtrooms than positions that have the power to order people killed directly.

She needs more Mar A Lago face. Go all in Alina.

Completely unqualified lawyer and should be removed from anything even close to the government.

How do you 'resign' if you're not qualified in the first place?

santa@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 285d

Resign! That’s rich. Illegally appointed.

These people are ghouls. I'm not trying to make comments about her appearance, but just look at her eyes. There is no light, no life, and she looks miserable.

This is what a lifetime of hate does to you. Hope everyone has a good day.

Arancello@aussie.zone · 13 pts · 285d

She’s got that “resting bitch face” down perfectly. Every photo has that look.

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 284d

LOL, "resigned".

I don’t know why these idiots let Trump ruin their careers but I guess I’m fine with it 🤷‍♂️
