- bediger4000 2y agoThis seems like an unusual phrasing coming from the putatively free press.

- TomK32 2y agoLeagleEagle has a video on this with a focus on Perkins & Coie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfsNe0HdahU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfsNe0HdahU The situation reminds me of the Nazis banning Jewish lawyers with the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" (Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums) just weeks after their Machtergreifung. Even the naming isn't far off Trump's executive orders like "Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court"[1] or "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness". Tax consultants were the Nazis next target, in case you wonder who Trump might look out for. Banning actors from screen and stage will happen next year...

- cratermoon 2y ago> Banning actors from screen and stage will happen next year... bold of you to give it until next year

- Shawnecy 2y agoThat's a very slanted way of phrasing "abusing executive powers".
