I was assuming he meant something much less asshole-ish – though I can’t imagine exactly what – but I’m willing to let him explain himself. ETA: Wait a minute … there’s also this, from yesterday: > [@elucidator](#): > > So, attacking America at our judo chop spots is rubbing up on our biases, suspicions, and mistrust, the grim spectrum from disdain to hatred. Told the Bernie Bros how Hillary cheated them out of supreme power, told white working class guys that black/brown people were coming for their jobs and their daughters. > > Didn’t say much of anything to rich folks. I mean, sure, preach to the choir but why bother? Oldest trick in the book, really, happened to the Grand Vizier of Akkad (2019 BCE), who was summarily dismissed. OK, he’s on drugs. Just let it go. ---

Check out his contributions to [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21700407#post21700407). This fucker needs to stop lying. He’s not a lawyer - or if he is, he’s obviously full of shit. I really wish we could have some moderator intervention here - “Hey, listen, we know you claim to be a lawyer, so that means either many of your posts here (and definitely the post in that thread) are in blatant bad faith and you know you’re lying about them, or you’re lying about being a lawyer. One or the other has to fucking stop.” Can anyone here take these claims with good faith? Or are we all just pretending, lest the moderators (who refuse to take even the most _blatantly_ bad-faith bullshit as evidence of trolling, see **Bone** ’s contribution to that thread) smack us down for calling this shit what it is? ---

West Virginia’s dumbest lawyer is a consistent proponent of following the law unless it’s a law that hurts the current administration. ---
