Over the last twenty years the First Amendment has been almost completely obliterated by the idea of political correctness. People are afraid to say even the simplest things for fear of being misunderstood. Hell, saying "Merry Christmas" is no longer socially acceptable. Laws are enforced at will, or not at all, and the liberal elite feels entitled to disrespect the average Americans, off whose backs they make their living. And this is precisely why people support Trump - because he does not seek to "improve" or "educate" an average voter, but instead shows him respect and actually listens to their opinions - something that, you know, in a democracy, an elected representative is supposed to do.

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.

you dont even know its a she or a mom let alone a SAHM but you certainly showed what you think of moms, and i stand by it, youre an ass

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.

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

So you pipe in with comments without know what you are commenting on? Whose the ass?

I'm an educated millennial registered independent and although I won't admit it to anyone irl, I would definitely vote Trump.

There is no way you are an attorney. You are not only a wrinklie, you're an incoherent idiot.. Initial poster. Second poster dared to suggest someone was a SAHM who had time to criticize someone writing style and thus, question their credentials and profession. Good grief, I am currently, a SAHM. Untwist your panties.

The most successful entrepreneurs I know are the biggest risk takers--in fact taking risks is what made this nation. These same people have been on top, fallen and come back out on top. Regarding bankruptcy laws, or any law, you can't take "advantage" of something you are entitled to and regarding creditors, they assume the risk. The same with investors. You weigh the odds of making a profit vs a loss. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. The biggest payoffs generally come with the biggest risks. You don't invest if you can't afford to lose. I say this as someone who has no respect for Trump.

Thanks for your post. If Hillary's cattle futures gambit had gone sideways, she would have been bankrupt as well. Lucky her.

Just wait - in just a few minutes you'll find out that you are in fact an ignorant and incoherent wrinklie.

I agree with this.

And while I don't like him, I do find him to be an interesting character who can't even seem to deliberately sabotage himself.

groundswell, right?

Apparently, that is perfectly acceptable behavior, but, for the sake of all you hold sacred, whatever you do, do not dare to suggest someone is a SAHM.

Why? I genuinely want to know which policies appeal to you

There is a size able contingent of self-made upper middle class professionals who support Trump. We don't post about it on Facebook or in any way publicisize our criticism of the current administration. We are educated, hard-working people with families and a love of our country. We are your neighbors and friends, perhaps just aquaintances and carpoolers. I don't think he will earn the Republican nomination however and anticipate a Clinton- Bush race in the end.

I'm the PP who got their 'panties in a twist' (also a super classy comment). I find basically all of you pretty vile. But most of you are just being jerks to one another, not calling out entire groups of people based on non-political attributes.

Analysts were claiming that his last remark about blocking Muslims from entering would do Trump in. He still seems to have momentum.

However, according to a survey,

Two-thirds of Muslim voters plan to visit the polls on Election Day, and more than half of them are Democratic Party supporters . . .

Muslims increasingly moving away from GOP
Poll: Over half plan to vote for midterm Democrats
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/26/muslims-increasingly-moving-away-from-gop/?page=

don't know enough about Muslim stats in the US (too lazy to look) - But is it enough to give Hill a winning edge?

And he's still having sex with a young woman, which is really all he cares about.

So who's the winner?

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.

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?

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.

Oh please. that's just BS. Almost everyone I know does pro bono at my agency.

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...

Only if he claimed he was some kind of amazing success for doing it. He isn't.
