This guy has made more money than any other lawyer, all through contingency cases. He’s known as the greatest trial attorney of all time. The book is so so but there are some good nuggets in here.
I’d recommend it for anyone about to go to trial for the first time, as we may be 😳/end
He's pretty convincing.
He makes some interesting points.
In some ways he's better over video than in the book.
He also called Bush II one step up over a mongoloid which is fun

1. Why did I give Zelensky the nom de guerre "hollywood"? Because he used to be an actor. 2. Why do I think he subjected his nation to war? Because he chose NOT to negotiate before the war and downplayed its likelihood of occurring.
3. Why did I make fun of Instagram game? Because he's an actor so this is his area of expertise, but also because as I expressed earlier, this is not a winnable war for Ukraine, so you can do all the propaganda videos you want, it's better to surrender to minimize loss of life.
I think my followers are a little tired about hearing about Ukraine from me, so I'm going to return to our usual programming:
I have a penis infection.
Time for a thread 🧵👇
I went to the doctor today and I got into the examination room and a nurse (female) came in and, because I had written "suspected penis infection" when I booked the appointment, she knew.
And she started to ask me about it.
And well...
I started to think she was going to examine it!
And this, well, I think the technical term is "boner"...
I got a boner.
And then she went to take my blood pressure.
And my heart is beating realllllll fast, I'm thinking to myself:
Hey @robert_zubrin@NRO, I'm going to need a citation and apology for your rewriting of my 3 tweet thread and my followers' replies into your article, which cited neither.

It's based on the same concept and uses the same terminology.
2/4
And the article is structured in the same way as my 3 tweets.
What the Russian invasion of Ukraine means for the world going forward:
1. Volatility begets volatility. When something crazy happens, the chance that other crazy things will happen goes up. It's not a coincidence that Canada is freezing peoples' assets and Russia invaded
Ukraine after the most significant event in most of our lives, Covid. To give an example of why things like this happen, other countries around the world may look at what Russia did and say "Wow, I can do that." and when they do, we get another significant event.
2. It's an invitation for China to take Taiwan. China can do the same exact strategy as Russia. Instead of massing troops in Belarus, Crimea, and Donbass, the Chinese can (they'll need some time for naval improvement) just mass boats, missiles, etc and then just swallow Taiwan.
My company won an appeal in the 5th circuit court of appeals (on all counts).
That's a very good thing, but unfortunately, it's not a precedential decision, meaning it can be cited, but it is not binding.
If I had known that was a possibility I might've settled.

The best part of the case was a very big Chinese seller using this as their address with Amazon.
And they had the balls to appeal the decision against them on the basis that we didn't properly serve them when we actually went to this address to find an older white woman.
I used to think this was the fatal flaw of Bitcoin.
He’s right that this occurs. Mining is a commodity marker and economies of scale drive concentration, which is bad because it increases the chance of a 51% attack allowing a miner to double spend their Bitcoin.
However, once this occurs, and we would know because you can’t double spend your Bitcoin without someone being on the other side of that, it would cause massive loss of trust not only in the participating miners/their public addresses, but also in the entire network.
