It is all the more regrettable that it will provide yet more fodder for the Catholic antisemites out there who never miss an opportunity to project the dumb decisions of a few onto 'all Israel.'




@Codie_Sanchez Lawyers need to go out of business. They’re scam artists that charge insane amounts of money to understand language that’s purposefully written to confuse dumb people. ChatGPT changed the game 👀
