Individuals don’t usually like attorneys. I discovered this quickly after changing into a lawyer. Finally made sense to me. There are at the least two sides to each authorized altercation. One loses and one wins. Even in a settlement. The shedding facet finally ends up hating the “successful lawyer.” The one time a lawyer comes out “cherished” is when an individual is in deep shit bother and his lawyer saves his ass. Even then the love ends when the profitable consumer receives the lawyer’s invoice.
In current days, Trump has begun going after legislation faculties and legislation corporations. In the meanwhile just one legislation college and two legislation corporations. Anticipate extra.
Ed Martin is the interim Lawyer for the District of Columbia. He despatched the Dean of the Georgetown College Regulation Heart, a Catholic college, Jesuit run, a letter saying: “It has come to my consideration reliably that Georgetown Regulation College continues to show and promote D.E.I. That is unacceptable.”
He additionally wrote he had begun an “inquiry” into the College and wished to know if it had eradicated all D.E.I. from the College and its curriculum.
Shifting additional, he added that no applicant for a place with the federal authorities who was a Georgetown pupil can be thought of for federal employment so long as D.E.I. was continued.
A non-public Christian legislation college attacked! Unprecedented! A blatant authorities assault on Georgetown’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic establishment.
Have to be the “legislation’s day” from Trump’s perspective!
Regulation corporations are additionally being attacked. Regulation corporations who represented liberal and Democratic purchasers. Trump’ purpose: He doesn’t just like the authorized work they engaged in.
Two main and properly revered legislation corporations. One Perkins Coie who represented Hillary Clinton for instance. The agency’s illustration of Clinton and others was “not in step with the nationwide curiosity.”
Trump has additionally initiated an assault on Covington and Burling who offered professional bono providers to Jack Smith.
It’s blatantly unsuitable to dictate who an lawyer can signify who below most circumstances.
What’s our nation coming to?
There may be one other difficulty. One involving universities usually.
I do know from private expertise the significance to a college and the federal government of a relationship the place a college is retained – paid – to have its exemplary college work on scientific and engineering issues essential to the federal government. A superb working relationship. Inures to the good thing about each.
Trump is pissed at Columbia College. The professional-Palestinian anti-Israeli protests of current years. No drawback now that Donald is President. He lately stripped Columbia of $400 million is federal monies for initiatives they have been engaged on on behalf of the federal government. The federal government’s reasoning: Columbia’s “failure to handle anti-Semitism.” Trump kissed Netanyahu’s ass once more.
There are purportedly 9 different universities that concern they are going to lose comparable federal support for a similar alleged purpose.
Trump is attacking established American positions/companies from each course.
Social Safety one. Rumored solely for the time being. Recall Trump assured voters in the course of the election that Social Safety and Medicare have been protected. They’d not be touched.
Within the final two weeks, Medicaid has begun taking successful. Phrase is Medicare funds shall be lowered. There’s a robust rumor that inside 30-90 days Social Safety will begin taking successful. Starting with delayed funds. Then a transfer to stop all funds. Trump and his inept affiliate Musk need Social Safety eradicated.
45 p.c of America’s over 65 inhabitants stay on their Social Safety checks. What’s going to they do?
The aim is the entire collapse of Social Safety.
In a number of days, I shall be publishing an in depth weblog re Social Safety. I’ve accomplished so a number of instances up to now 13 years. With extra added this time. It’ll present that many who assault Social Safety are sick knowledgeable as to how the nitty gritty of this system works. In different phrases, they know not what they’re speaking about.
Keep in mind additionally, authorities is to assist everybody. Which means the poor and center class additionally. Not the wealthy alone.
Trump retains irritating Canada. Our buddy for many years economically and socially. Trump is unsuitable. Canada standing agency towards his onslaught.
Ontario lately imposed a 25 p.c surcharge on electrical energy they ship to the U.S. Entails 3 states. Will value American customers $4,000 a day total. Canada’s message: Don’t screw with us! Canada threatens to extend the surcharge if the tariff bullshit from the U.S. doesn’t stop.
There’s a distinction between a surcharge and tariff. Particularly what, I have no idea.
Donald did good with the inventory market yesterday. It dropped 890 factors. Wow! It has been dropping for 2 weeks.
“Black Lives Matter.” In 2020, two miles of such language was painted on a Washington, D.C. road. It’s now being eliminated. Painted over.
Washington’s Mayor mentioned she started the removing due to strain from the White Home.
The paint over will take 6-8 weeks and price $600,000. I believed Trump’s gig was to economize?
I take a step again in time.
Trump’s MAGA followers at present are Hitler’s brown shirts of yesterday.
It took Hitler 10-12 years earlier than he went from success to abject failure. Trump has already been experiencing energy for 10 years. His screwups the final 6-7 weeks are making the American individuals extraordinarily sad. The individuals will solely take a lot. Particularly when lots of his MAGA followers are additionally affected by his actions.
These are sorry instances we’re experiencing. Perhaps we needed to undergo them. Hope issues work out properly and prior to later. I can’t afford eggs. Gasoline has gone up 25 cents a gallon in Key West the previous 10 days. Grocery payments are a bit dearer every week. America will skinny down as a result of it will be unable to afford the grocery payments. Individuals’s 401-Ks getting smaller and smaller.
Stick with it, Donald! You’re doing your self in. Nobody has that will help you.
Take pleasure in your day!
