Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Weren't a bunch of founding fathers lawyers? John Adams?
the joke was on law firms, not individual lawyers.
When you read about them on the news, they are usually associated with protecting the very rich from accountability, like the NFL Vs concussed players, Big Tobacco Vs people they knowingly gave cancer to or various Wall Street criminals.
he has threatened sevaral of them by pulling funding away if they do not cave to his demands, eg supporting conservatives that are in trouble with the law.
No, all of his executive orders are unconstitutional assaults and political power-plays. He's been trying to shortcut and speed-run his corruption through with as little process as possible.
Yep.
The only solution is his removal. Yeah - already. He's proven he's not interested in running a lawful administration and that is unacceptable.
Honest question. Do you think that he's trying to speed-run USA into a civil war and/or war against other countries to implement martial law? Most of the time, accusations turns out to be confessions. I mean, he accused Zelensky of being a dictator and not holding elections.
Yeah, at which point no one will be able to stop the Human experimentation and breeding program. Vaccine denial and autism are being used to cull the weak and justify Eugenics. It's exactly what China has been doing with The Uyghurs and Crispr, only dressed up to look like a logical progression of democracy. It's Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
Putin benefits from USA being wekeaned and divided, trump isnt acting on his own accord, and i suspect putin is backing HF as well.
Only once it’s a problem for the lawyers do they start speaking up.
That is unfair. Plenty of immigration attorneys have been standing up for other people at their own expense.
