Lawyer versus attorney: Lawyer has JD did not pass bar; attorney passed the bar and is licensed to practice law. There is a difference between lawyer and attorney as employment in a law firm.

I don't know why, but every time Hugh starts giggling I end up giggling for the rest of the day!
Thank you, Hugh!

But how can a unit of time be half of the shortest unit of time – a scaramucci ? Is time becoming faster

Perhaps the entire bar exam question needs to be re-examined within the diseased eye of Jim Jordan. This fast talking rule bending fact-omitting person has been taking up airspace in Congress for far too long without ever passing the bar and needs to go away.

Suzie Wiles being excuded from the decision to appoint staff. This happened before when Trump was choosing his cabinet at the beginning eg Matt Gaetz etc. Meidas Touch covered how most of this was done on a plane without inviting S.Wiles.

To relegate Kimberly Guilfoyle to "a centerfold" is to deny her obvious ability to "raise funds"…

Trump is a walking and talking form of cancer on the country’s heart, soul, and financial underpinnings. It will take a full decade for the world to trust the American people to NOT put a malignant narcissist back in office.

Sean Hannity has an awesome hair helmet. If he ever gets wacked over the head his stiff hair helmet acts as a protective barrier.

Thankfully, Katie Zacharia can be there when her kids wake up and say to them, "Good morninnnnng."

Elon is Not an inventor . Someone explain it to Joanna. He didn’t invent anything. He buys things.

"Srpska" is pronounced "Syerbska" — please stop botching the name: it's making my skin crawl 🙂

Rubio and Vance are the biggest traitors to our country.
They are horrible! Power hungry, disgusting, and losers.

Why so much time being spent on this story? Let's move on—we have an election in progress.

Kristie was associated with a mining company in BC Canada, until the Canadians basically sent her packing!!!

Natalie wants to be the press secretary.
Natalie wants to take Susie Wiles job.
Don’t hold your breath. She will get one or the other.

Anyone who graduates from a law school is a LAWYER, Just to practicing one until they pass the bar. A lot of people are angry with her because she calls herself a lawyer. She is a lawyer just not a working one. Geeze.

If she removes her extensions would Trump still ‘love’ her?
NO!
@jbee5258

Wow! She got called out! I love it! Bye, bye Katie.

Canadian here. Love your podcast. A great way to get a bird's eye view of Trump, his minions and all the dysfunction going on. I feel so bad for a once great nation. Trump's destruction is breathtaking.
