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.

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.

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.

I spent years writing meaningless, over-burdening regulations, for starters. Most of my coworkers produced as little as possible and did nothing resembling the pro bono work you scorn.

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.

Her "opinion" was judgmental and disrespectful. She dishes the trash. She gets it back.

Well, again, that was your experience in one attorney job. Perhaps other people find the regulations helpful. The government actually allows you to do pro bono work outside of your job, did you know that?

Sounds like you didn't agree with the mission of your agency and you did a crappy job. I guess you think that means that's what other govt lawyers do at other agencies. You don't sound very logical.

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.

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.

Wasn't the SAHM-dissing poster a Trump supporter? That is par for the course

No. Simply someone who felt it was alright to call someone a "wrinklie'" "an incoherent ass" and questioning someone's credentials. I suppose being a SAHM (of which I am currently) gives you a pass for poor internet behavior.

I haven't read this thread and I know it's usually pointless to enter a thread 13 pages in, but I just want to answer the question. I think the people who say they like Trump are people who live a comfortable life (and I don't mean wealthy...I mean the life of the average American who thinks a cell phone and cable TV are their right who have the luxury of surrounding themselves with messages and talking heads that already agree with them). Most importantly I think they are people who don't understand that this democracy we have, this nation we've built is fragile. It's all a house of cards once you stop believing in it. It's sort of like 911. We sleep soundly at night thinking and assuming that if there were an emergency help is only a call away. But the truth is, we are largely on our own. We need to defend the principles on which our nation was built because it could come tumbling down pretty damn easy. Rome fell too. The USA will likely have our time too if we don't learn from the past.

Yes, and I never saw my 9-5 co-workers doing that but my 70+ hour a week coworkers in the private sector did almost universally.

I can live with that. Now, did her comments about the attorney qualify her as an ass or does she get a pass because you agree with her politics? Btw, she didn't know if the person she criticized was actually an attorney but she had no problem opining on the issue-quite negatively, actually.

I'm the poster who is being accused of being an incoherent idiot. No need to defend me, I find this critique incredibly amusing.

So who are you billing? Are you an out-of-work attorney or do you waste your company's/clients' time on a routine basis? You seem to have a lot of time to post is why I'm asking. You're also no liberal. Liberals don't use Fox News lingo like "liberal elite".

How is that relevant to the substance of my argument? Or are you attacking my credibility because you don't have any substantive objections to raise?

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.

Then, you would have criticized him for doing nothing and living off of inherited wealth...

Honestly I didn't quite follow where that PP picked up on an attorney and they seemed like a disrespectful ass too, but what they said was a LOT less of an indictment of a life choice than what you said. And I have made no commentary on how I feel about either of your politics

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.

I spent years writing meaningless, over-burdening regulations, for starters. Most of my coworkers produced as little as possible and did nothing resembling the pro bono work you scorn.

Sounds like you didn't agree with the mission of your agency and you did a crappy job. I guess you think that means that's what other govt lawyers do at other agencies. You don't sound very logical.

I did excellent work (and even won awards for my excellence). However, I saw tremendous waste,am use and laziness. Moreover, the regulations were unduly cumbersome but necessary for the agency to justify its existence and staffing.
