@KathyLK I think there are lots of answers to that question. One big answer is that, early on, men seem to have grabbed power in many of the world's religious traditions and to have then created religious teachings that justify their dominance by pointing to "God."

Finding good advice in the #Bible is like finding a piece of your favorite candy inside a shit sandwich.

Be very careful to wash off all traces of the shit before eating the candy.

Here’s a tip:

As lawyers, we don’t take out lines of credit to pay ourselves our own “legal fees”, and then have a client reimburse us for our own “legal fees” as the client at the same time criminally falsifies business records to hide that they were not, in fact, “legal fees.”

I’d be willing to accept a sentence for Trump of having to spend 8 hours each day being read mean tweets about him on public television for the rest of his life. He can go and do whatever he wants. But 8 hours a day until he dies he has to be berated publicly.

Cooley's Kathleen Hartnett explains that a brief she filed in Trump v. U.S. on behalf of retired military officials argues that Trump's presidential immunity claims, if successful, "would ... possibly increase the risk of people not disobeying an unlawful order." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI7pV7wPb74
