Shakespeare got it right: “First, lets kill all the lawyers!”
Misused or not, it is pertinent!
Socialism is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
They’ve made a mess of this fabulous republic.
The places where useless men to find employment: law firms and legislatures.
The GOP is complicit in exploding the US debt. I definitely recall W spending like a drunken sailor on foreign wars and even Trump doesn’t seem to be doing much on paying down our deficit. Since the economy is doing so well now is the time for him to start reducing the deficit. Meanwhile most GOP Congresscritters pay lip service to a balanced budget while heading straight to the pork barrel.
“The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.”
Please. Stop with the “Republicans Bad, Democrats Good” simplicities. The GOP bigwigs gave us open borders and endless wars. They still resent Trump for trying to change the party’s course.
Oh, and the last GOP nominee before Trump — Romney — went to Harvard Law School. Trump’s daughter is in law school and his sister is a federal judge. There are plenty of lawyers in the GOP
And a lawyer without a briefcase, but elected to The House or Senate or Presidency, or appointed to head an agency, can steal more than a thousand regular lawyers with briefcases.
Yes, accomplices are many. WELCOME ABOARD!
Yep. The ooze from the judicial branch into control over the other two branches, violating separation of powers.
That includes the various so-called Top Cops who control the Alphabet Soupy Swamp.
Bill Barr was put through law school by the CIA, as I understand it. Ex-CIA Bush 41 made him AG.
Others may trust him as they choose. I consider him a Deep State creature like the rest.
Thanks!
Why would a lawyer want to steal over a thousand armed men?

Romney didnt go to the Harvard School to become a lawyer, which he didnt. The JDMBA from Harvard University Program of Study offer students guidance on structuring an academic program that will give them exposure to the law, policy, theory, and practice in their chosen areas of focus. His was business and he has a BA in English from BYU. He has never received a law degree nor attempted one. Calling that a law study to become an attorney is like saying a student plays intramural basketball because he wants to play in the NBA. His first major position in business was with Bain and Company and he was instrumental as CEO for Bain to assist the creation of Bain Capitol. No lawyer, no law degree.
Yes there are many lawyers in the GOP just like every other group in the US. But none that are president or run for it, like I said.

No law degree
A JD is a law degree. Romneys got one. BTW His Bain capital also destroyed a lot of jobs.
Anyway, this is a simplistic argument. The Bush-Cheney Administration was a disaster, even though neither was a lawyer. And the fact they were Republicans doesnt make their record any less bad, the recession/depression they left any less deep, the unending wars they started any less destructive and expensive, and the immigration policy any less open. Im tired of being told you must always applaud the Republicans like Im a toddler. GOP has given us some stinkers, even without law degrees (and sometimes - Mitt - with them)
“Some men rob you with a six gun, and some men rob you with a fountain pen.”
Not that I like Romney, but didn’t Bain Capital take companies that had money problems and carve them up like turkeys and sell the profitable bits, and let the other parts fallow?
There is a market for that but the reason they are up for sale to Bain is they are about to fail, or will be sold for what ever reason, and Bain is just the undertaker because their value whole is too low for a regular buyer.

It is not a law degree that can be used as an attorney. He cannot practice law, nor can he be accepted by a bar anywhere in the US as a practicing lawyer. It is a knowledge only degree for the endeavors he chooses.
From their website:
Harvard Law School (HLS) and Harvard Business School (HBS) offer a joint degree program in law and business. Completion of the program leads to the degrees of Juris Doctor and Master in Business Administration (JD/MBA). The program is designed for students who have the background that will enable them to handle the rigorous and concentrated course of study. It allows students to gain expertise in both the law and general management practices. The program prepares students for careers in which an understanding of both legal and business principles is essential.
It is not a practicing law degree. He is not an attorney and never studied to be one. I have a degree in accounting. I also had to study business law to become an accountant. I am not, and never have been, a lawyer nor studied for the bar. Same thing as taking biology doesn’t make you a doctor.

Problem is one’s legal and one isn’t. And many times it makes the “taken” wonder which one is which.

“Why would a lawyer want to steal over a thousand armed men?”
Because their employers are not worried about unarmed ones.
