They all are. It's a thing for them.

For fascism to work, the other must be simultaneously weak and strong.

The whole gag to fascism is that it is 100% projection at all times, both internally and externally.

They attack people because they're afraid to get attacked and they can't imagine a situation where everyone isn't thinking exactly like them, so of course it's only a matter of time before they're attacked...and thus must attack.

It's circular and deeply uncreative, but it is the root of every bully, from the playground to the autocratic despot.

Losers do loser things - way to go, Pumpkin Tits!

And deep down, he knows this to his core. “Bully” implies a victim who cannot protect themselves (and is therefore ‘weak’ to authoritarians), while the bully has all the strength and power.

Donald could have chosen from a number of non-SAT words his followers can digest easily, that wouldn’t betray his actual self image. Challenger. Punk. Hater. Obsessed. Crooked. Hell , even calling him a Democrat plant/operative/etc would have played better

Anyone that defends him is stupid. Not only is he guilty as hell he won't shut the fuck up and follow his councils advise. I mean, a paid gig is a paid gig, when your client actually pays you, but there's no way you'll leave his service with a better rep than when you started.

I wonder if she'll be smart enough to sue Trump for her legal fees. I doubt she remembered to ask for payment up front.

Remember, even a C student can get a law degree.

I was assured multiple times on Lemmy that Habba wasn’t stupid and that she was doing Trump’s bidding in a crafty way.

Apparently she’s just stupid.

I'm assuming every other lawyer at this point declines on ethical grounds or those that don't have any scruples say "You have a history of not paying lawyers so I'll need cash up front to represent you" and Trump keeps on looking. Removing those groups and you get Habba as your lawyer.

Good job or bad, Trump will find a way to not pay you for doing it. Of this, there is no more golden rule.

She was still doing his bidding. He bidding was just also stupid, and his narcissism would not let him see that

I believe Rudy is also suing him for not paying his legal fees, so that door's been shut - maybe he'll have another press conference in front of a lawn care store to sweat about it.

He's still free for a little while longer, but he's been disbarred.

She's definitely employable by OAN and NewsMax. Fox, also, if she bleaches her hair.

She is one of the beautiful people, but pretty don't win lawsuits. Trump didn't know that. Trump is dumb and ugly, and has smalls hands.

(sic) is the abbreviation for the Latin phrase "sic erat scriptum" or "thus was it written".

It's used when quoting someone who made an error and you are quoting them verbatim. It's to let you're audience know that YOU know better, but the quoted source does not.

Example:

"It's to let you're (sic) audience know that YOU know better."

IDK what it stands for, but it's used where theres a mistake in a quote. It's the journalist saying "yes I know that's wrong but that's what the person reallg wrote".

I've heard that if you're nice to a journalist they'll tidy up minor issues like that, but if they don't like you they'll leave it incorrect and give you a [sic]

No appeals based on incompetent/ineffective counsel for a civil case. In a criminal case, a convicted defendant may appeal on the grounds of ineffectiveness of counsel at trial. This principal arises because of the constitutional right to be represented by counsel. Such a right would be meaningless unless it implies a right to effective counsel. There is no such constitutional right to counsel in a civil case, and therefore no such ground for appeal in a civil case.
