A Bankruptcy Trustee taught me a lesson a lot of years ago in a case that potentially implicated a D & O liability policy. I represented the insurer. The real coverage issue with those policies if the insured really intentionally did what they are accused of, there is not any coverage. So this Trustee kept prosecuting downward, until he found someone who might have coverage.

I'm just suggesting that we investigate the folks below the level that got pardoned.

Having been pardoned, the top dog can't claim the 5th, so if he has any loyalty, he'll accept responsibility to save his subordinate, or not.

Either way, we get to the truth and find out the character of the folks that got pardons.

When I read your posts, along with those of Ledvm, JTEX, and a few others here, I feel like I've walked through a Twilight Zonish portal into a universe where natural laws are bizarre and unfathomable and time runs backward.

You missed the best part.

Lawyers making more money!

I generally approve of lawyers making money--as opposed to doctors, stockbrokers, and politicians making money. Hard to say who are the bigger crooks there.

Trump and his unconstitutional executive orders will generate more legal business than we've seen in a long time.

And if you working the law against Trump, you might even get paid.

Don’t move to Texas where common sense reigns and where natural law is just that — natural, unchanging, and unyielding.

When I hear Dems talking I feel like I’m in real twilight zone of some utopian socialism where everyone just dances around and sings kumbaya and those that don’t get shipped to gulag

A lawyer's dream, the winner that is:

Prince Harry settles legal battle against Murdoch papers, the Sun admits wrongdoing
Michael Holden and Sam Tobin Reuters

1/22/25


LONDON - Prince Harry settled his privacy claim against Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper group on Wednesday after the publisher admitted unlawful actions at its Sun tabloid for the first time, bringing the fiercely contested legal battle to a dramatic end.

In a stunning victory for Harry, 40, the younger son of King Charles III, News Group Newspapers, publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, also admitted it had intruded into the private life of his late mother, Princess Diana.

Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne, said the publisher had agreed to pay the prince substantial damages.

A source familiar with the settlement said it involved an eight-figure sum.

Well, you just identified the truth of your character for sure.

What's in it for you? What's the payoff? Extortion?

How much is affirmation of your belief in fiction worth to you? I think that's your goal and "how much" is directly associated with your degree of zealotry. So, the answer is - a lot.

Yea, it's a prosecution strategy alright. You could get yourself prosecuted and hopefully disbarred, for zealotry lawfare.

Math does not lie, but 12 jurors unanimously found guilt on many of these including seditious conspiracy.

Crimes against the United States.

Yeah, Magine is definitely a true Democrat. I suggest an investigation to get to the bottom of things and the truth. An investigation and/or prosecution in which I would not profit financially in any way. And he jumps to saying that I should be prosecuted or disbarred.

That's a little bit touchy don't you think? What's Magine hiding?

Yeah, insurance company lawyers can twist themselves into all sort of pretzels to justify a position. What we are seeing here.

Mike,

I just follow and apply the law, unlike most plaintiffs' lawyers or Democrats.

No, you spend your days trying to screw folks with legitimate claims. You're an insurance company lawyer representing the interests of your insurance company. In other words, trying to minimize the amount of damages your insurance company should have to pay.

Let's call it what it is.

No Mike, I spend my days trying to make things affordable to the American people, trying to eliminate the insurance fraud perpetrated by plaintiffs' lawyers, trying to combat the ridiculous "life care plans" that plaintiffs' lawyers offer, trying to combat the ridiculous verdicts that cripple the economy. Some examples

a billion dollar verdict against a company whose off duty employee murdered a woman when he'd never had a complaint

a hundred million verdict against the railroad for a woman who was intoxicated and passed out on the railroad tracks

a nearly 9 figure verdict for occupants of a vehicle that lost control and crossed the median and struck an eighteen wheeler that never lost control;

a nearly $3 million verdict for a broken ankle where the plaintiff incurred $12,000 in medical expenses.

These verdicts hurt us all. Is my fighting against these unreasonable verdicts somehow wrong?

No, I think your support of them is wrong, and un-American.

Somehow I doubt the impartiality of your recitation of those examples. I suspect there are facts you left out that may explain or justify the verdicts.

Where are your links?

Roland,

I don't need to do your homework. You're a moron so there is no reason for me to try to convince you. It would do no good.

The examples you offer are your claims. It's your burden to produce something to support them.

Your calling me a moron makes no impression; I consider the source.

I’m so glad I’m in Nashville where there is sanity here and hunting is the main subject

Yea, Lane and Shy, one of my dogs seems to have a gender ID problem. She sometimes humps male dogs. They don't seem to mind, though, and when I call her a bitch, she just looks at me so sweet and wags her tail.

So, yea, Shy, "feel" like you described happen when reality gets confused with fiction.

And Lane describing la la land of 31 genders, with some disgusting detail, etc., is a fine example of fiction. And he believes that shit. Yet he claims to be a critical thinker, reasonable, etc.

There is no such thing as 31 biological genders. Lane made it up, conflated, and projected

"Biological gender, also known as biological sex, is the classification of an organism as male or female based on its physical characteristics."

The List of (human) gender identities is far more than 31:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...of_gender_identities

Rightist's insistence on "gender" being binary, limited to biological gender is a fiction construct and ignores psychological, social and scientific studies. It's a construct designed around ignorance, intolerance, control and making segments of society just wrong.

Definition of gender:

Wikipedia:

Gender includes the social, psychological, cultural and behavioral aspects of being a man, woman, or other gender identity.[1][2] Depending on the context, this may include sex-based social constructs (i.e. gender roles) as well as gender expression.[3][4][5] Most cultures use a gender binary, in which gender is divided into two categories, and people are considered part of one or the other (girls/women and boys/men);[6][7][8] those who are outside these groups may fall under the umbrella term non-binary. A number of societies have specific genders besides "man" and "woman," such as the hijras of South Asia; these are often referred to as third genders (and fourth genders, etc.). Most scholars agree that gender is a central characteristic for social organization.[9]

=====================================================

From the bigger picture perspective, I wonder why Rightist fixation on gender identity seems to fit into their many justifications for electing a monster like Trump.

Exactly ME…of course people who live in reality know there are only 2 genders — male and female. Of course I made that up. I was thinking of Baskin Robins.

Reality? Apparently, that's subjective for some people.

I don't know for sure, I never asked, but I suspect that people who are gender challenged, non-binary, are not so stupid as to think that biological gender is not binary, gender identity notwithstanding.

Likewise, in reality, sometimes the mind doesn't reconcile with facts, for some people.

It's not "normal" of course, but generally gender confusion is a personal problem and not a big deal for the rest of us, unless fixated on it.

What is a big deal for the rest of us is when the scale of minds not reconciling with facts results in something as yuge as electing Trump.

I suppose it's a matter of relative harm. Some even think harm is good.
