The state of politics today. It doesn’t matter what’s true. All the matters is raw power and how you use it. Thank goodness we have two parties at least.

To be clear, it’s not like both parties have powerful leaders who say things like, “one of my proudest moments was when I told Obama, ‘you will not fill this Supreme Court vacancy’.”

There’s one party that represents a minority of Americans, and it wins elections by making it harder to vote and relying on un-democratic election mechanisms like gerrymandering and the electoral college. That party’s goal is to maintain power at any cost, not to create policy or help Americans.

You’re right that our current state is screwed up, I’m just saying let’s be careful not to both-sides this.

Why are you saying I believe the US is a democracy?

I’m clearing arguing the opposite here (and saying that it’s bad).

The old saying is “If you knew better, you’d do better.” So why is Nancy speaker of the house when there are so many young, new, and better voices to be heard in the Democratic Party? 🤷‍♂️

Because she’s insanely good at her job. The Speaker of the House isn’t a policy figurehead role––it’s a legislative strategy role. You want someone experienced there, and she’s doing a great job.

Hi Folks,

I was employed at LTI during july 2021 to Aug 2021 (2 months). Due to some personal reason I have resigned from LTI and joined some other organization. If there any possible to join LTI again? Please someone advise.

Someone please tell me if I am crazy. I am at a family law firm with approximately 25 attorneys. I previously worked at small shops where I essentially handled everything myself with no support staff. Now at my current firm I have a paralegal who really only makes my job more difficult… am I crazy to say that I don’t need a paralegal as I am comfortable operating as a solo and pay me slightly. I’m already pretty much operating on my own anyway. Feel like it’s a win win.
