@FoxNews Banned? She needs to be charged. This is why leftists keep breaking the law with impunity. They know they’ll get away with it.

UNDER FIRE: Rep. Veronica Escobar's staffer posed as a lawyer at least 11 times to smuggle phones into an ICE facility in El Paso, according to Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. Benito Torres is now banned from all ICE facilities. foxnews.com/us/dem-reps-st…

One must also consider why it’s easier to de-bank and make unemployable an American citizen who says right-wing things on the internet than someone who is openly here illegally, committing flagrant welfare fraud, and remitting funds overseas

Does anyone know what happened on Quarton and Telegraph area? I saw several Oakland County Sheriffs and two SWAT vehicles. Around 8 pm.

@shipwreckedcrew “Use” like drink. Evaporative cooling evaporates a portion of the circulating water.

"Use" -- you mean like drink? Or "use" as in "used in circulation" which is then recaptured and "re-used" in circulation -- over and over.

@jaxbys @Clapped_Dre Yeah but IMG’s B team.

@Clapped_Dre Wym off the street, didn’t he play at IMG

Finding Carson Cooper off the streets and turning him into Bill Walton may be Izzo’s greatest development job ever

@ddaaannnniiii One of them will win the pool. Mark my words.

We are filling out our brackets and one girl just said “how many points are in basketball” and another guy said “wait I have to pick EVERY GAME??” I think I have this year in the bag

@adamrank We all would!!

Would I trade a busted bracket for Duke to lose to a 16-seed? I would. Absolutely.

@walterkirn Drugs. People do drugs in clusters. Artists and those less tethered to reality are attracted to certain drugs and they flock to where those drugs are used and available. That’s my hypothesis.

One of the puzzles I find myself mulling over -- too often -- is the question of why artistic genius springs up in geographic clusters rather than in some broad, roughly predictable way. So many great musical talents from Seattle all at once? Whatever may be behind this phenomenon, it doesn't seem to operate with AIs, whose outputs don't arrive in this irregular, qualitatively "lumpy" fashion.

@Moose_313 @PlayboiSparty A bit.

@TheRealP3NGUIN @HOUSEPORN___ With no railing on the stairs. AI slop.

@HOUSEPORN___ so you’d have to walk down the stairs to pee in the middle of the night right? That does sound like perfect torture

@celticmom1967 @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez The deception is by the media trying to make you think delivering milk is relevant to his immigration case. It’s not.

@_eager_beaver @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez Mother pumped at home because she was released yet baby still in NICU. HE WAS DELIVERING THEIR BABY HER BREAST MILK! How in the world can you see deception in that act. You are an eejit.

ICE seizes DACA recipient on way to visit premature baby in NICU. Trump admin is not renewing "Dreamers" who were given legal status as children to stay in U.S. -- says they can now be detained and deported. @lbarronlopez ms.now/news/ice-detai…

@Mlla781 @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez Not relevant to his deportabiity.

@_eager_beaver @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez Breast milk, ffs. Moms of NICU babies pump and bring milk to their babies.

@grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez For those responding “he was delivering the mother’s milk”, that detail is not relevant to whether he’s deportable or not. So save your insults and ask yourself why you think it matters?

@grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez That’s weird. Usually hospitals feed newborn babies in their care. The absurd “delivering milk” detail is a major tell of deception here.

@DianaMcBlue @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez You miss the point. Why is that detail even relevant to whether he’s here illegally? It’s not. So the media tries to appeal to emotion because the facts aren’t on his side. How do people not see this? It’s a classic pattern.

@_eager_beaver @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez HIS MOTHERS BREAST MILK DUMB FUCKING MAGAT.

Name your favorite historical movie.

@tillman_fc @PlayboiSparty Oops sorry. That red blob looks like a badger without my contacts in. My point about UM still stands though.

@_eager_beaver @PlayboiSparty MSU and Michigan are the only 2 big ten teams in the ff on this

@RealTonyGarcia He should see if he can get on a cancellation list for next week.

L.J. Cason tells me he's officially set the surgery date to repair his torn ACL for April 9 at the University of Michigan hospital. "After the national championship," he said.

@DaddyLipton @anthonytbroome @CSayf23 @JordanAckerMI Michigan airports were on delay earlier this week due to major storms.

@anthonytbroome @CSayf23 Why didn’t they fly??? @JordanAckerMI

NEW: Michigan bused nearly 6 hours to Buffalo for the start of its NCAA Tournament run. But the grind isn’t the story. The reminder — how quickly this can all be gone — is. “Those rides really don’t seem as long when you’re having fun.” on3.com/teams/michigan…

@LucisanoSam @dwp4401 @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez He followed the process by breaking the rules. Classic lefty ethics.

@_eager_beaver @dwp4401 @grok @JonesOyl1776 @CarolLeonnig @MeSharona1 @daveweigel @lbarronlopez I shouldn’t have to. The man followed the process that this administration failed to uphold. You’re just a piece of shit that has to hide behind an anonymous account

@CynicalPublius This is great content for a CLE presentation. Nearly every single ethics CLE course is a leftist social justice struggle session. And we’re forced to sit through it since there’s few alternatives available. Sure would be nice to have some balance out there. Please consider it.

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
