So let me see if I get this straight

[malaise]

The President of the United States has a lawyer 'defending' him in DC but he cannot practice law in DC - WTFF?

[H2O Man]

1. Recommended.

Once again, you can't make this shit up.

[malaise]

2. Seriously WaterMan

they are worse than rank amateurs. How unprofessional are these low live cons?

[H2O Man]

3. One of the team,

who has been moved to the back bench, is under investigation for activities with the Russian bank. They really thought that, by installing Trump & Co, they could legalize organized crime. Seriously.

[malaise]

6. Coup by Cons

[panader0]

18. "legalize organized crime." As succinct an analysis as any I've read.

[suffragette]

22. As you said, you can't make this shit up. It's so outlandish and outrageous that you

couldn't even begin to suspend disbelief if it were a novel or film.

Yet, this is now the perverse reality in our nation's most powerful offices.

[Stuart G]

5. I agree completely.............you can't make this shit up.....

...........nope....time to hide..........

[lunasun]

4. Well at this point I can only

[malaise]

7. That's better than wasting tears on this bunch

[lunasun]

8. I dried up and rusted at this point . I have a lot to fear from his rabid haters but I gotta

[malaise]

9. Same here

but there will be tears of laughter the day I see the headline across the globe "You're Fired!"

10. If they're in court he can get admitted "pro hac vice" if he has a local guy

who is admitted along for the ride.

[yardwork]

17. He didn't bother to do that before he started giving legal advice.

[rzemanfl]

21. That's not in court. From what I've seen, the advice was on a par with the

rest of this clown show and equally unethical.

[spanone]

11. K&R...

[HipChick]

12. I figure that he has to stick to the sleazebags he knows

Otherwise getting a decent lawyer involves exposing himself

[brer cat]

32. It would also involve pre-paying the cost

of a decent lawyer. Everyone knows he winds up not paying.

[gademocrat7]

13. Unbelievable.

[sheshe2]

14. Oh maaalaise....

Lest we forget the lawyer hired a lawyer.

[malaise]

15. And the Con hired another one as well

This will be better than Nixon in the movie

[sheshe2]

16. Dump is a job creator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lawyers!

[VOX]

20. Because he does jack shit. And somebody's gotta clean up.

Therefore, the jobs report will likely show a lively uptick next quarter.

[panader0]

19. There are too many WTFFs to believe.

My WTF meter is broken.....

[malaise]

24. For real

Little shocks these days

[summer_in_TX]

33. They are a train wreck - but

it's hard to take our eyes off. One unbelievable thing after another.

Heard Naomi Klein on NPR the other day - she believes this is another application of the Shock Doctrine that is operating to keep our eyes off what Congress is doing.

They're moving legislation to shred the safety net, end Medicaid, cut SSI, end Meals on Wheels, and of course, gut the ACA. Oh and there's the attempt by the current FCC to gut Net Neutrality and getting rid of the Main Studio rule in broadcasting which would all corporations get rid of a lot more journalists as they cut local radio and TV studios. That'll mean a lot less local news and weather.

I confess I'm spending time I should be on writing to my reps instead obsessing over the latest news, checking Twitter every chance I can and then going to this and other sites for news updates.

I wrote letters constantly during the Bush era - but so far way fewer than I mean to.

23. ....

[malaise]

25. That's where we are

about now

[spanone]

26. smack dab in the middle.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. He'll keep right on using him and then fight the DC Bar as well as everyone else. Past pattern. nt

[DK504]

28. It is yet another sign of his massive incompetence.

[Dawson Leery]

29. kick

[Mme. Defarge]

30. YCMTSU!

[cstanleytech]

31. If I am reading it correctly he can practice it just fine he just needs to get off his ass and file

the needed paperwork with the DC bar.
