So, in effect - resign before he gets fired. I imagine they’ll let him retire rather than disbarring him. I wonder if they have a ceremony: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/uV-7D4io1Rs/hqdefault.jpg "Branded theme") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV-7D4io1Rs) ---

Eh, I don’t think this guy, Wood, needed rump to tarnish him. There are a few of those wack job lawyers that were sure to tank their careers eventually without the orange menace’s help. Ummm, the Kraken lady, Ghouliani, can’t think of his name, the one that came up with Pence not validating the election? They all need to be disbarred and serve time. IMHO ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > can’t think of his name, the one that came up with Pence not validating the election? They all need to be disbarred and serve time. IMHO John Eastman. Last news about him was that he was undergoing a disbarment hearing or procedure in California. No results so far. ---

I honestly wish the Bar Association would still carry out the disbarment hearings, if for no other reason than to drive home that his resigning from the legal profession was not his choice. ---

I actually know her name; I just really like calling her that. That incident is so emblematic of how insane the whole “stop the steal” thing was and what a bunch of wack jobs they are. Her name should be legally changed to "Kraken lady. 😏 ---

As a fan of the Seattle Kraken, I object. I think Sidney Powell’s name has such a terrible reputation, no nickname can be worse than her real name. And she was once a respected prosecutor and defense attorney. It’s hard to believe. Trump really does ruin everything in his orbit. Like a black hole, maybe he’s an orange hole. ---

I’m sorry I equated your team with that loon. I really didn’t know anyone had used it as a mascot. Can I call her Sidney the Squid? 😉 My hypothesis is that these people are suffering some sort of dissociative break. Then they find the orange hole (ewww). In other words, I think they are damaged before they meet him and he just finishes breaking them. ---

Junior flounced from going on his tour in Australia because tickets weren’t selling; claimed visa issues, which was a lie (of course); Aussie Home Minister tweets that he is a big baby (no shit); tweet is deleted. Reuters headline: > **[Australian minister calls Donald Trump Jr a 'big baby' over canceled tour](https://www.reuters.com/world/australian-minister-calls-trump-jr-big-baby-over-cancelled-tour-2023-07-06/)** > > Australian Home Minister Clare O'Neil on Thursday called Donald Trump Jr. a "big baby", after the son of the former U.S. president cancelled a planned speaking tour.
