Happy Friday everyone, have a wonderful day!!! Delicious tears today. I love it 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

@MTB_Breck @bitchuneedsoap Couldn't agree more. My businesses were medical - don't get me started dealing with health insurance companies. They are pretty much evil. The stuff they put us through was truly unbelievable.

The whole insurance model needs to change, it’s a freaking scam. USAA required every driver in my household to be listed on every car. How many times do I have to ensure the same car? It’s impossible to put a 16 year-old on their own policy w/ their car, so they get listed on all of your cars. I tried removing them from coverage so they are not insured on my truck and it didn’t matter. Scam.

USAA. Founded by Army officers. Built to serve military families. Laid off almost 600 American employees in a single round while posting a record $7.9 billion profit. The Heritage Foundation flagged USAA for hiring H-1B workers through outsourcing firms like Tata and HCL. Patriotism is the brand. Outsourcing is the business model.

First, congratulations on your new found freedom! This was an interesting read. Great insight. I never really got why attorneys had such bad reputations, until I owned several connected businesses. I had some great ones, and some not so great ones. But, I'll save that for another time.

RE: Lawyerly Thoughts I have retired from the law and placed myself in “inactive status” in my two licensed jurisdictions. This finally gives me the freedom to share my unvarnished thoughts on the law and lawyers in a way I have been unable to do so before. I’m thinking of writing a series of lawyerly musings posts that I can later combine into a full length article. This is the first one. I believe I have a unique perspective on the law, having completed a successful military career before I stepped into law school. This meant that I was not wide-eyed and bushy-tailed in law school like most of my full time program (much younger) peers, and my earlier perspectives as a military decision maker made me cautious about some principles that I questioned as potentially being flawed or dangerous. So let’s talk about one: “EVERY CLIENT IS ENTITLED TO ZEALOUS LEGAL REPRESENTATION.” This is a bedrock concept of the practice of law, and one that lawyers are justifiably proud of as it is an essential component of equal justice under the law. But it has its flaws in the modern era. I remember one summer in law school I was an intern in a public defender’s office. One of our cases was a mass rapist who had been terrorizing women in local parks. This guy had blackish eyes that glowed with a sort of deep evil that seemed to come straight from the pits of Hell—it was like out of a horror film. He was as guilty as guilty could be, but we were trying to get him off on a claim of a bad search and seizure of some critical evidence. We were zealously representing a deranged rapist. The guy needed to be locked away for eternity, but we were trying to get him off. I know most lawyers are comfortable with that and consider it righteous, but for me it was the event that convinced me that I wanted nothing to do with criminal law. But that’s small potatoes to what I think is the bigger, profession-wide problem of “zealous representation.” Whether you are a litigator or a corporate lawyer (like I was), “zealous representation” means taking the facts at hand and interpreting them in the way most favorable to your client. I have found that “most favorable” means taking facts and pushing them in a client-favorable way right up to the edge of the line of lying, but not crossing it. You’re not lying, but are you really telling the objective truth? Over time that thought process of twisting facts away from what most reasonable laymen would consider as “true” changes a lawyer’s brain patterns. If you do this enough, you might stop being able to do anything else. Your brain changes, and not in a good way. I often found myself lapsing into this, but thankfully there remained a little portion of my brain that was still an Army colonel, and I think that little voice held me back. What ends up happening to too many lawyers is that every moment of their lives starts to consist of looking for angles to twist whatever facts are at hand into the manner most favorable to them. That’s a slippery slope. That’s why words like “oily” and “sleazy” are so popular when describing lawyers, and why jokes that involve lawyers at the bottom of the ocean as shark food are so popular. The problem is that as long as you never step right over the line into lying, none of this is against legal ethics. I’m not sure how to fix this exactly. Perhaps continuing legal education needs to focus on the limits of “zealous representation.” Or perhaps every lawyer needs to be on watch to not lose their soul. There are so many excellent lawyers that none of this applies to, but there are just as many who have no problem going into total sleaze-mode to win for their client. But then everything they do in life becomes sleaze-mode, and they harm themselves, their families and society as a result. It’s a large-scale problem. Think of this: “It depends of what the meaning of “is” is.” -Slick Willard

@MTB_Breck @bitchuneedsoap Hiring cheap foreign labor, laying off Americans. Disgraceful.

@bitchuneedsoap @WideAwakeLaura I’ve been with them for 20 yrs, but their rates have just gone crazy. $7.9 billion in profit explains a lot.

@DennisPedigo5 @4thOfJuly365 💯🙌

@WideAwakeLaura @4thOfJuly365 Yeah. Like I said living through something like that could turn out really bad. If you see it coming, hit the gas. Don't get me wrong. I'm not suicidal. I'm just not going to live in fear of a thing to the point where it restricts me from living.

WTF 😳

@SAMCityWorld @KimKatieUSA Couldn't agree more!

@KimKatieUSA @WideAwakeLaura 👍 But you must immediately expel all the Islamists and Africans who are deeply entrenched in the country and protected by globalists! Soros continues to destroy Europe and the United States with these uncontrollable criminals who kill, rape, mutilate, and rob day and night.

BREAKING: Dozens of illegal aliens were flown out of MSP today on ICE air with a Juan ticket back home. Adios amigos!

@AdeleRasel63159 💯 Between all of the awful posts I've seen today, and this one to top it off. Blood boiling!

@WideAwakeLaura Unfucking believable. If this doesn't piss people off I don't know what it will take.

Serial killer, I've never heard of. Kenyan, we graciously let in. Goes on to murder 22 elderly women. youtu.be/HNQNmOjb_-o?si…

Y’all I’m a proud mom. My son was awarded the Medal of Valor today as a Firefighter who rushed in and saved many Senior citizens during a massive Assisted Living Facility fire. He also received a High Commendation from the MI Senate. God bless ALL Firefighters who rush into danger and save lives. ❤️🙏🏼

@SAMCityWorld @ValerieAnne1970 Well said! It really was eye opening, and has forever changed my perspective.

@WideAwakeLaura @ValerieAnne1970 I am100% in agreement with you! For far too long,I have known exactly the extent to which human beings are willing slaves!But since coconut they have quite simply accepted their own extermination &the worst part is that they are begging for more!They are doomed&they pose a danger

COVID was solid proof that the average person just 'followed the science.'

@ValerieAnne1970 Can't wait to see it, Valerie. Even though I know it's going to make my blood boil. Hope you're having a great week, darling!

@WideAwakeLaura Great one Laura! I have a similar video ready to post in a few days.

@DennisPedigo5 @4thOfJuly365 I'm right behind you. Friends dropping left & right. Pretty shocking. I guess doing what you love, matters. On the other hand, TBI's are BRUTAL, and are common motorcycle injuries. (Traumatic brain injuries)

@WideAwakeLaura @4thOfJuly365 Well, I'm 67. I'm thinking it would be a better way to go than how I seen a lot of friends go. The only down side would be living through something like that.

@Dapper_Det I'm so freaking sick of this 💩. Deport them ALL

🚨The arrest of your harbored criminal illegal alien from Venezuela & NYC Council employee Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez is overdue. This piece of garbage had a criminal history that included an arrest for assault in NY. He had no work authorization and was illegally employed.

@Dapper_Det My God 🤬

🚨BREAKING: Another Somali fraudster, “Ikram Mohamed” pleads guilty to wire fraud, stealing $14 million of American taxpayer money, $1.3 million which ended up in her pocket and sent to child raping Somalian Al-Shabaab terrorists. Denaturalize and Deport this pirate garbage.

@DennisPedigo5 @4thOfJuly365 Same here in AZ. Too many close calls. I stopped getting on bikes probably 25 years ago.

@WideAwakeLaura @4thOfJuly365 We're really stupid in Kentucky. No helmet law, but don't forget to buckle up in a 4000lb car or truck.

@DennisPedigo5 @4thOfJuly365 I get it. Have done that in the past, too. It's a little crazy with the traffic here in Arizona, unless you get out into the country.

@WideAwakeLaura @4thOfJuly365 I love to ride, but I'm out in the country. Nothing fun about heavy traffic.

@ValerieAnne1970 Lost respect for so many people who were intelligent, yet sheep. Truly frightening how easily they were not only fooled, but how insane they became over wanting compliance. I have to find a video from earlier today to share with you.
