There is no way you are an attorney. You are not only a wrinklie, you're an incoherent idiot.

And you are an ass. This poster probably has an actual job--you know working for a living--and doesn't have the leisure time of a stay at home mommy to both proof read a forum post or speculate on someone else's credentials based upon a dashed out post. This is hardly a brief or a formal opinion.

Oh shut up. You know nothing about me. And just when did madame attorney post? Who did she bill that time to?

Oh, so you can dish it out but you can't take it? Figures. Guess, the comments hit a little too close to home--ruffled your feathers a bit, huh? BTW, even attorneys take a break from billing now and again, but if you had ever practiced in a big firm--or had a real job for that matter-- you would know that. Now go change a diaper.

NP who is not a SAHM and not an attorney who thinks you are being a giant disrespectful ass. SAHMs, attoneys, and basically every other regular person deserves some basic respect. Someone who changes diapers IS entitled to an opinion.

This is OP, and I can see this point as the most logical explanation. And I am also sick and tired of everyone trying to make everything support their idea of PC.

I working a large law firm. A lot of lawyers who I know support Trump, even those who voted for democrats for years.

Lawyers at large firms tend to be assaholic, depressed, angry people so I believe you.

Well, they are working 70+ hour weeks so that people like you can call them assholes and then demand they pay over larger and larger percentages of their earnings because, you know, they aren't paying their "fair share." It would piss me off, too.

I'm a lawyer, and I don't believe the "lawyer" upthread. Here's why. The demographics of Trump supporters skews HEAVILY uneducated. Among Republicans, the biggest predictor of whether someone is a Trump supporter or not is whether they went to college. If they did, very few support Trump.

NP. I'm a lawyer and a mother (and think Trump is a bigot and his supporters are either stupid or bigoted) but also agree that dissing SAHMs is stupid and wrong. Parenting is hard, if you do it well.

Nobody is making them work 70 hours. And don't make it sound like they are doing charity work there. They are compensated accordingly. Perhaps they could take a government job and really make a difference. Or maybe they can't because of student loans. Oh, if only higher education was free...

I had a government attorney job. Believe me few people were "making a difference." Btw, most firms encourage pro bono work. You know, actually making a difference.

Talk about being uneducated. There are always outliers and as previously noted, there are plenty on both sides of the aisle that won't admit to supporting Trump publicly but do privately.

I have two graduate degrees and do support Trump. In America being a lawyer does not equate to education.

No. You didn't make a difference because you didn't want to, there's plenty of opportunity in the government. As for pro bono work, they "encourage" it because it looks good, and do the bare minimum to keep a nice image.

My brother is also a moron. He's also the human version of an internet troll. Trump has captured the sizeable portion of the GOP electorate that trolls internet forums and basically wants to watch the world burn. If they can't have nice things, then no one else should either.

Thank your brother for his service from me. And apologize to him while you are at it

For what?

I guess PP thinks your brother should be able to shovel shit because he's a veteran?

I thought that was the vast majority of the Democratic Party and their Robin Hood mentality.

I don't find the need to be PC about veterans.

He hasn't even been successful at that. If he had taken his father's money and just put it in a mutual fund, it would have done better over time than he has done with it. Born on home plate and thinks he hit a home run.

Another one here. Practiced private and public. So has DH. Both DOJ prosecutors now. We make a difference. Actual lives saved. Provably so. How many pro bono hours are you putting in?
