They should be like this!!

Of course they see it. That’s what’s so disheartening.

rictho1966.bsky.social•8 days ago

Because so much of America has been exposed to be about money and literally nothing else. GOP definitely does not believe in the Constitution or liberty if their wealth is threatened. Period! Wealthy dems are a big question mark too.

When we needed leaders we found out we are surrounded by cowards

aamac.bsky.social•8 days ago

They think, it’s only 4 years. Even the ‘smartest’ are not grasping what’s happening.

holyblankenstien.bsky.social•8 days ago

If they thought it would end in four years they wouldn’t be acting like little bitches right now. This is their way of saying they think the fascists have already won.

I think even modest pushback would end this nonsense. Instead, they fold like a lawn chair.

Yeah, I totally get the whole, “How did Germany slide so quickly into authoritarianism” thing now. 😐

Answer: rich people have always and will always care solely about remaining rich

They care about one thing only, and it's not the Constitution

tracymc.bsky.social•8 days ago

I learned long ago that many lawyers don't believe in justice - only power.

schiltron.bsky.social•8 days ago

They are wealthy and comfortable. Money trumps integrity (pun intended).

pcollirigger.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's like they cannot find a decent lawyer to fight it.

misterautumn.bsky.social•8 days ago

They only fight if they can bill the hours.

You're assuming they care.

garotasf.bsky.social•8 days ago

WTF? They only care about themselves.

seejayone.bsky.social•8 days ago

Great to see the folks who are supposed to be guardians of the law folding to the lawless criminal. The brazen cowardice is simply stunning.

Did any of these people pay attention in history class?

No agreement with Trump is worth the paper it is written upon

Maybe they do understand, but they’re just evil?

Stop trying to appease the bullies. They just come back for more.

wmurraytx.bsky.social•8 days ago

I thought it was, “We don’t negotiate with terrorists?” They’re more than bullying the country.

ericlackner.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s all about the money for them.

lonestargooner.bsky.social•8 days ago

We are an unserious people. The reaping will soon come.

fulphl.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s no different than individual countries. They stay apart and fold. Combining together allows an opportunity to respond to a bully.

This is playground 101.

I was in college when Nixon's "Secret plant to end the war" arose. It was, of course, a con. The same inner sucker in me hopes these firms are playing a long game and choosing not to die on this hill and to outlast Trump. I fear my naivete faith in big money attorneys may kill my country.

Because every plaintiff lawyer that’s ever lived has needed, professionally, to believe themselves the smartest kid in the room walking someone else into a devious trap.
