“Zionist lawfare operation facing collapse?”

Trump Slapped With Emergency Filing #AbregoGarcia #lawyers say #Trump officials—including #PamBondi, #KristiNoem, and Trump himself—are smearing him with false, #inflammatory claims that taint the jury pool and violate court rules.

Meanwhile, large law firms seem unwilling (unable?) to recruit women to their most high billing areas... is this because women are not interested in the macho deal making culture that dominates corporate law, or is it the masculine culture of this sector privileges make applicants/candidates?

One key issue may be the work environment, with the male dominated realms regarded as acting against a 'normal' of family-focussed lifestyle.... another 'motherhood penalty'?

#TIL the term #yuppie, or at least the "yup" part, is an #acronym for "young #urban #professional". While the sort of people I interview in #rural #Louisiana for my #research are obviously not #yuppies -- I blame my lack of knowledge on the term on that -- a surprising number of these #francophones and #creolophones are white collar #professionals, specifically many are #teachers, #principals, and #lawyers.

Er...

Okay....

So, I've just listened to a story that mentioned that the Pentagon is sending military lawyers to DC to help with the case load.

I have a few questions:

1. I doubt those lawyers are able to practice the law in DC. Won't they have to pass the DC bar or something? (Or is it that they are going to work as assistants and won't have to do anything that requires them to have passed the bar?)

2. Related to the previous point. Military law and civilian law are quite different. How are they going to be trained, and for how long?

3. WTF were they doing for the Pentagon? Nothing? What happens to the work they were doing there? Were they twiddling their thumbs all day?

These questions were not asked by the reporter, by the way.

This all looks like performative bullshit.
