Anyone, anyone at all, that makes these leeches on society go so such apoplectic MUST be on the right track!

We as a society would be so much better off without lawyers.....

Little old jim talking shit on the lawyers. Until he gets fucked on a subcontract by a GC or an owner and then his lawyer is a champion for his rights.

Idiot.

Well dipshit. I'm successfully retired. And yep, there where a couple of times I got royally fucked on a contract...non AIA, custom contracts....you guessed it.....written by lawyers.....

You know it, I know it, lawyers are scum.....leeches on society....if we didn't have em, we wouldn't need em.


.

I am sure when you pass someone will he glad to have a lawyer work your estate.

Too bad you did not hire a lawyer to review and negotiate those contracts.

Or maybe you did, and did not listen?

I think you should look at estate planning earlier. Folks are living longer. I am seeing more and more people engage in early estate planning due to nursing home and Medicaid concerns for nursing home care.



Of course, it will take a lawyer to go through all those tools.

Hey, it is okay. There is an old saying, “ Lawyers access risk, businessmen take risk.”

Hi Jim,
You and I both knowing personally many of the players here on AR…

I believe that was Steve’s point and it looks debatable to me.

Yes and either a lier or a very unintelligent person should say otherwise.

You are too accomplished to be unintelligent.

Trunk out gas on this comparison to Jesus fire with statements like this.

On Monday, Mr Trump claimed that he received a message stating: “It’s ironic that Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you.”



“Beautiful, thank you!” Mr Trump responded. Thai was posted on his truth social on the end of March.

Greene is not stupid. She is a major top 5 fun raiser in the GOP. She is working the marks.

The greatest Christian Moralist in Texas should read this.
https://www.premierchristianit...fixion/17743.article

In case you do not read the thesis:
“TO MAKE ANY KIND OF COMPARISON BETWEEN TRUMP AND JESUS IS SERIOUS, IF NOT BLASPHEMOUS.” Emphasis from author.

You do see the words any comparison.

Let me ask you Dr. Easter, yes or no, did Greene make any comparison between Trump being convicted and Jesus being convicted?

Comparing actions taken against two different people IS different from comparing the the people on merits of themselves.

Except the action is the comparison. The merits bring Jesus was prosecuted for the speaker as Trump has been prosecuted for the speaker.

It must be hard bring so ethically bankrupt.

I know it Doc.....they are nothing but monkeys flinging poop....its pretty pathetic, but typical....lawyers contribute nothing but strife......ever electing lawyers to be lawmakers was by far the greatest mistake ever made in this great country.

Yeah only lawyers voted to convict Trump, only lawyers voted against Trump, only lawyers see the lack of Christian ethic in comparing Trump to a convicted Jesus.

I spent my days inside a jaw crusher.

I am not the great Christian Moralist excusing a politician comparing a convicted political figure of a party to the Christ.

I'm not religious but Christ and trump don't belong in the same sentence. I wouldn't expect a religious hypocrite like you who supports a lying, cheating, philandering seditionist to get that but....

Maybe try actually reading the Bible sometime and there is a slight chance that even you can understand Mike.

If you don’t want to…fine. But, why not remain mum on what you are ignorant rather than proving your ignorance?

Yeah Trump is King David.

His punished David at least 2x.

Jesus sought to end the Sadducee regime.

It was an attempt to get you to read what you wrote.

Lawyers access risk…

Anyone accesses risk based on their decisions.

Insurance companies assess risk and put a value on it.

Good lawyers point out legal risk, but cannot put a value or assess the actual likelihood of that happening.

It’s another attempt to get you to proofread.

What is a lier? As opposed to a liar?

You’re educated. You are in a profession that how you write something is significant.

I don’t have to puzzle out what Roland, Mike, JudgeG or Lavaca are saying… why do you feel it’s ok?

I’m not expecting perfection, just some minor effort.

It’s called courtesy.

This a saying. I did not make it up.

A lawyer’s job is to access risk and advise the client based on that risk assessment.

The client has to, must choose. The act of doing nothing or not listening is a choice.

You did it again.

The lawyers job is to ASSESS risk, not ACCESS risk.

By the way is anyone watching the rise of Hitler docuseries?

Where are you watching this?

I've seen several, but as we find more documents, there is always something new to be learned... is this a new production?

It's only debatable by pettifoggers.

"Liken to" and "similar to" mean the same thing. Your distinction between action and character is meaningless.

She was likening Trump to Jesus in that they're both felons. Therefore, she wants us to infer, being like Jesus in that sense makes Trump a good guy.

Mike's thread title is accurate.

quote:

Let’s look at this Roland.

We’ll do the second half first. She certainly did NOT say or infer that the 2 beings had the “same qualities.”

Secondly, the definition says “to say someone is similar.” One implies the being. She didn’t compare the qualities of the beings.

She compared actions taken against the beings.

Now had Mike stated: MTG likens actions taken against trump to those taken against Jesus Christ…he would have been accurate. Thus Steve’s point was valid and correct…at least for those who have a grasp on reading, writing (Joshua left out here ), and understanding the English language.

Lane, I said I wasn't religious. I didn't say I'm unfamiliar with the bible. Raised Southern Baptist. Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Wednesday evenings until my early teen-age years for more years and weeks than I could count. Goddamn, I hated Vacation Bible School. Screwed up my summer. I was subjected to the whole nine yards of rabid Southern Baptist indoctrination.

And, even when I was 10, I realized it was bullshit. If you need to believe in fairy tales, that's your problem.

Substitute Catholic for Southern Baptist, and my story with Christianity is similar to yours, Mike.

You're wrong, and none of that changes my opinion that Mike used "liken" correctly.

MTG didn't say a thing about actions taken against Trump or Jesus. She talked about the quality, or characteristic, of being a felon.

As an aside to your difficulty with English, she could have likened Trump to a lot of felons--why Jesus?

I'm tired of the semantic argument. To play your game for a moment, I am the wordsmith, you are the horse doctor.

Boom.

She likened legal actions taken against Trump to those taken against Christ.

I read NO comparison of the beings other than their convictions and the actions taken against them.

If you can’t see that…we’ll just have to disagree. But you are wrong and Steve was correct in his assertion.

She likened him to Christ. As I said it was the s ton that was likened.

The inference is clear.

The fact you want to bury your head in Christian Nationalist sand and excuse this and other comparisons is disgusting, hypocritical, and blasphemous.

Answer Rolland’s question why make this comparison to Jesus and Trump?

quote:

Answer Rolland’s question why make this comparison to Jesus and Trump?

Sometimes the law is bastardized and used to achieve a political goal.

And, sometimes the law gets it wrong.

Both clear cut cases. Next question.

Thus, you conclude that Trump like Jesus was subject to bastardized justice to satisfy a political end.

Hence, Greene made such a comparison to fire that lie up.

And you will always be a Mark for types like Greene and Trump.

A political hack.

Dr. Easter proved or point by finally answering a question.

Greene knows how to draw her audience.

I am not a lier. I am mot afraid to read. I am not you.
