During Trump 1.0 I snagged the official portrait of @ericholder.bsky.social and hung it in my office. I would have loved to take it with me when I left but gave it to someone else.
I also nabbed a huge painting of Thurgood Marshall for the Civ App conference room. I wonder if it's still there.

Maybe. But while I've seen cases where an agency said something wrong or came back and said "um, we just found this and need to correct X," those were pretty rare and the cause (in my experience) was incompetence or inattentiveness rather than outright dishonesty.

This is flat out unethical and every lawyer involved in this "settlement" should be disbarred.

Not something I've ever seen before. Then again, I never had a case where an agency flat out lied its ass off.

It's spam if they don't mention the year. If it's Macallan 12 NFW. But 18? Maybe.

Could be worse, though. At least they didn't offer you BLENDED scotch.

That's not enough (based on my own experience). They need:

1 week before: "Wait, do I have the deadline right?" - .2
5 days before: "Are we sure about the deadline?" - .2
3 days before: "Oh sh*t did we f*uck up the deadline?"- .3
1 day before: "Srsly are we REALLY f*cking sure?" - .5

Yesterday at @baltimoreravens.bsky.social HQ.

Are you sure he wasn't thinking "can a dog get restraining order?"

I've been gone since 2018, but when I was there DOJ attorneys absolutely had to be barred somewhere (although maybe not in the state where their office was). People got disciplined if they let their state (or DC) bar licenses lapse.

Surely I can't be the only one to see this quote and think immediately of the Monty Python Bruces' Philosopher Song.

Please tell me the investigation is called Operation Ski Pole.

Well I have no skill in assaulting a monastery so I think we're even.

It's such a shame that kids today can't construct a decent siege tower.

Some people say Golden Retrievers are smart ...

There is no such thing as a "short' flight to or from O'Hare Airport. The only question is whether the time on the tarmac will exceed the time in the air.

At this point I'm not sure if we're just going to taxi to Ottawa on the plane instead of fly.

Interesting to see there are no career DOJ attorneys on this filing.

The good part of the leaves falling off the trees is that we have a view of the eagle who likes to perch in the tree out back.

Happy Exploding Whale Day for those who celebrate :)

Mamdani is going to implement Maria Reynolds law and I just can't say no to this.
