PSA to non-lawyer citizens from another non-lawyer/Thread:
The 6th Amendment grants citizens the right of having representation in court. What does that mean to the lawyer? They have to zealously represent their client - even if that means making arguments that sound ridiculous.
Making no argument is worse than making AN argument, no matter how crazy. So when we hear crazy arguments from Manafort or Trump's lawyers, we should allow ourselves to get concerned IF: 1) Did the judge buy the ridiculous argument and rule with them?
2) Was it Trump's personal lawyers or WH counsel and/or Justice making the dumb argument Because WH counsel and Justice are OUR lawyers, not Trump's.

THIS ⬇️ argument was by Trump's personal lawyers, who are just doing their job - offering an argument.

While its hard to see anything that Trump does as inspiring, his lawyers' ridiculous arguments (Hi Rudy!) should inspire we citizens to see our rights afforded under the 6th Amendment - the right to counsel.

But that doesn't mean that right always comes with a good argument. 😋

Oh yeah. This dropped a few days ago. Chuck Blazer has 8 storage lockers in NJ full of notes and tapes.

cc @LincolnsBible @ninaandtito

nytimes.com/2019/05/28/spo…
"Inside those lockers, alongside what one person familiar with the content has described as “a bunch of junk,” are audiotapes recorded by Blazer and documents that are believed to be notes of meetings with his lawyers that include names of potential wiretap targets."
"After confronting Blazer with evidence of his own crimes in 2011, F.B.I. investigators turned him into a confidential informant who wore a recording device to gather incriminating evidence against other officials."

WTF. The AIRPORT?

"Kim Hyok Chol was investigated and executed at Mirim Airport with four foreign ministry officials in March," an unnamed North Korea source said, according to the Chosun Ilbo, adding that they were charged with spying for the U.S."

reuters.com/article/us-nor…
"North Korea executed Kim Hyok Chol, its special envoy to the U.S., and foreign ministry officials who carried out working-level negotiations for the second U.S.-North Korea summit in February, holding them responsible for its collapse."

They were executed clear back in MARCH.
When being human means undermining authority:

"Shin Hye Yong, the INTERPETER for Kim Jong Un at the Hanoi meeting, is also said to have been DETAINED in a POLITICAL PRISON CAMP, for undermining the authority of Kim Jong Un by making a critical INTERPRETATION MISTAKE."

The power of the disgruntled employee. 😋

"After taking her complaint to the human resources department, Ms. McFadden was transferred to another division. She was terminated in April 2018."

nytimes.com/2019/05/19/bus…
"Deutsche Bank told her she was not processing enough transactions. Ms. McFadden disputes that. She said her superiors had reduced the number of transactions she was assigned to review after she voiced her concerns."

Voicing concerns was her ACTUAL JOB.

@ninaandtito @SaysDana
"Around the time she flagged the Kushner Companies’ transactions, Ms. McFadden said, she also complained about how the bank was scrutinizing the accounts of high-profile customers, such as those in PUBLIC OFFICE."

#Thread Family Doctors (Primary Care) Vs Speciality Care in #India
A few weeks ago, in response to a different thread ( ) there was a comment from @spinesurgeon that we need family physicians. (1/31)
Another comment in that thread by @VaradhKrish referred to the issue of patients going directly to specialists, bypassing primary care doctors. (2/31)
The problem of patients going to specialists directly, rather than to primary care/family doctors first and then being referred by them to specialists is one that requires a more in-depth analysis. (3/31)

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

The Supreme Court Collegium is in the limelight once again and not for the right reasons. But what exactly is the issue? #Thread
Justice Akil Kureshi’s transfer from Gujarat HC to Bombay High Court is what has resulted in a backlash. It has created an uproar at the Gujarat Bar.
The Gujarat HC lawyers have thrown their weight behind Justice Kureshi and are observing a strike. But what is their grievance?

Aadhaar through the ages.

A #thread -
Nilekani: Let there be an ID that is voluntary in nature & would prove to be an empowerment tool for millions!

UPA: Cool. Like a citizenship ID?

NN: Nope. Just an ID. No rights will be granted... But eventually... all citizen rights will be dependent on it! Get it?

UPA:
Activists: Um I think you need to create a law. This is kinda big. YUGE project. YUGE

UPA: Let there be an ID which will be created by a random attached office in the planning commission!

Activist: Wait. What?

UPA: Oh hey, Planning Comm is doing a lot of PLANNING for this, OK?
