All claims (good or bad) should be supported by evidence. Not some obscure website, but solid empirical evidence. Otherwise, it is just your, or someone else's, opinion. No DMs unless I know you.

Why do politicans on the right make a show out of their prayers in response to tragedy. I believe that is referred to as virtue signaling which is something MAGA has railed about for over a decade. Matthew 7:23: "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."

I practiced law for almost 40 years so I know what you mean. But I took at least 1 pro bono case a year while I was in private practice. Sometimes 2 if my partners would let me. High profile cases brought in more clients. There are other ways to be reimbursed for expenses.

Love the sentiment, but MAGA will spin it into a conspiracy and JD Vance will take over. The witch hunt and revenge tour will go on - and possibly get worse. Vance takes his orders from Thiel who is part of a cabal who want neo-feudalism in America.

Good point. Maybe they will say no and he will put incompetent people (Pirro) in those positions. Or, maybe the big law firms will intentionally lose the cases.

What is the end game here? To reduce the population of the USA so there is more for the oligarchs who survive? Or is it even more dystopian and sinister. Like creating a permanent slave class who are forced to have children because their lifespan is short?

While true, you left out the role of religion. Power and control are the opiates of every form of government and every type of economic system. It is that way because of human nature. If we are to survive we must evolve.
