> [@CaptMurdock](#): > > _ **Allie McBaba** _? Now that you mention it, she does kind of seem like she was magically teleported into our world right from an episode of a particularly whimsical David E. Kelley legal dramedy. One that he never actually produced. He just wrote the script, decided it was too absurd and tossed it into the trash. ---

It’s like that old joke about the college departments and their exorbitant equipment requisitions. The Math department just needs a blackboard and a trashcan. Whereas the Philosophy department gets along with just a blackboard. ---

The prime reason that creature from the bottom rungs of the evolutionary ladder’s “looks” (such as they are) are on the table, IMHO, is that “she” is on record claiming that to be her best attribute. Or at least more important to its self-image and persona than merely pretending she’s capable of aping “smart” people, with their fancy words. The comparison to Boebert is, therefore, apt. A similarly under-educated barbarian who apparently posed down for some beauty show or something like that. If one wanted to be really mean, one could compare her to that deranged person from Georgia with the space lasers who looks like George Jones’s twin sister. However, they all could have inhabited the same ward of an idiot asylum, perhaps a century ago. But **Garage Barbie** is the front-runner so far. ---

It means she’s only competent to be representing parking garage companies in mundane issues, not a high-profile defendant in a high-profile case. ---

They truly believe it is a show trial with “the only man who can save the country” as the perpetual victim. They are, in fact, fawning over the man who has not only promised to be an absolute dictator, but has already tried it. And, yet, the herd believes every negative thing, even that their god-emperor puts on full display himself in front of them, is a manufactured sham against him. > > [quote]and that lawyers who are contemptuous of judges and the justice system they represent are in violation of their professional ethics. Ah, but that presumes that in the long run there will still be a standard of professional ethics _and an organization to enforce those standards_ (see below). At the moment, not only is this particular defendant and his legel team contemptuous of the judges and justice system, _so is his herd_. > [@](#): > > In this context Habba is a disservice to her client. If she wants to be a Trump campaign manager she should withdraw from legal representation and apply for the actual job. Trying to do both at the same time is grossly unethical and, in my opinion, grounds for disbarment. The problem here–and I can’t believe I’m apparently supporting that vile person’s action at all–is that _everything_ in connection with this particular defendant is election campaigning. As to disbarment, that’s a non-issue if Trump returns to the White House and his lemming-like party gains control of both the House and the Senate. Every single person who’s been “treated unfairly by the ‘Biden Crime Family’” (as they call this administration) will be further lionized and whatever punishments they received will be rescinded. Those who issued the punishments in the first place, will be punished for that and there won’t be any recourse. Hell, the lemming party will even punish the Air Force for refusing burial honors to Babbitt. And one of the organizations that will either be swept away or turned into a rubber stamp is the legal bar association. The most mind-boggling thing about this is that Trump is unable to keep his yap shut. He does not have to actually do anything any longer, or say any more, for the herd to do their utmost to get him back in the Oval Office. How I wish I were wrong. \*Trivia: I just discovered one term for a group of lemmings is _slice_. I’m disappointed it’s not _fall_, as in _a fall of lemmings_. ---

A-ha! Lightbulb moment here. Thank you! Considering the actual real estate agent Barnie, model Barbie, school teacher Barbie, etc., models I was trying to imagine some connection to garage as auto repair = Grease Monkey Barnie, etc. None of that added up as suitably insulting while also anywhere near apt enough.

The man is constitutionally incapable of embarrassment. Besides, the inverse racoon mask of pale white skin around his eyes is never seen to be red. But your point is well-taken; the silly-assed bronzer hides a lot.
